That's okay, my first name is Sarah, and they're everywhere too. I even have a stepsister with the same first name.
I've got an aunt named Sarah. It's a pretty name. :-3

No, Red Robbins must be some new place that combines twenty different kinds of hamburger, a guy in a big chicken suit, and 31 flavors of ice cream.
And damn you for mentioning In-and-Out. I was already really hungry, and my Irish stew won't be ready for at least a half-hour.

It? You are unsure of your cousin's child's gender? They may have named their daughter Steve?!

Sarah dropped out of the top 20 a few years ago, but for about ten years 1980-1990 it was the #1 girls' name in the USA.
I think John is currently running second to James for frequency in the US population.

I have nowhere near the dispossition to be a stalker. It'd be like "It's cold out here, fuck this"
I'm just holding to the truth that they skew their results for government and protected industry purposes. Does this affect ninja myths and the like? No, so most of the time it's highly watchable but this stuff just pisses me off.

He's giving me an excuse to do my mythbusters rant.
Well it's just that at times when they have myths that could be considered sensitive their results are a little off. Like when they tested if you could use fryer grease unaltered in a diesil vehicle they pointed out that it did work but then pointed out that it was only a good idea because no one has thought to charge for that yet.
But the primary interest with any alternative fuels has to be emitions and they didn't touch on that. And it's a simple test that's done all the time, every car on the road has to have it done once a year. So that just really struck me as someone saying "don't piss off big oil."
And later on they tested if cell phones really fuck with airplanes. They tested a bunch of phones with everything from bench equipment to an actual plane (on the ground, naturally) without a hiccup. Then after that they had some expert come out, and not even one of the experts they'd already spoken to, to say "better safe than sorry ." The logic being that there are new cell phones with new frequencies every month.
That's bullshit because if anything of that nature was going to have a dramatic effect they would have gotten something.
And, this one I admit is mostly heresay, but everytime they do a myth about how to best the cops they do it with the cops there and the cops always turn out to be infallable. That comes off as dissingenous.

Oh yes, also in accordance with read Betrand Russels "A History of Western Philosophy".
If man's nature is one of brutal and squalid means, why does he wish to beatify himself in art?

You do realize the show is for purely entertainment purposes right? Yeah they're experts, but think about how much they have to dumb down the programming so that Joe Average can understand what they're doing.
(BTW I know you realize that.)

%%@%@%@no offense to you Proteas%%@%@%@
sometimes OCD is good and bad all at once (figuratively on the OCD)
my female has decided today that she wants the apartment clean.
we started at around 6pm. Stared with the computer room, moved to the bedroom. Stopped for an hour to fold and stuff wedding invitations (which came today!), and then started the living room, had a break for pizza hut pizza, and she's still going nazi with the vacuum. The cat is going nuts. The snake is hiding (she's sensitive to vibrations).
Either way, our apartment is sort of horse shoe in layout, so we started on one end and are working our way around the shoe. The living room could be considered the halfway, since we still have the bathroom (which I keep pretty clean) and the kitchen (which really just needs some dishes and a mop job and maybe the cat litter could be changed...but we barely ever go in there except to cook) The living room was quite disturbing.
I also lost my wedding ring today. Cant tell you where it is. I thought I had twiddling with it in the computer room during lunch but there was no sign of it even when cleaning...so I think I may have lost it at class (which is possible). I emailed the professors of the classes I had before lunch (because it was on my way out to my after lunch class that I noticed it missing). I'm quite sad and my finger feels weird without it.
Yes, I know, wedding band before the wedding is bad luck. But why do people worry about luck with a fucking marriage? that has always bothered me. borrowed, blue, white, lacy, shit like that for luck?!
I HOPE TO SATAN BELOW THAT IF ANY OF YOU GET MARRIED YOU AREN'T EXPECTING IT TO HOLD TOGETHER BASED ON LUCK AND WHAT YOU DO IN THE RUN UP!!

You like Snow? Waking up in the mourning scraping your car windows waiting for the car to warm up, possibly digging your car out, then driving behind people who do not know how to drive in it. yes snow is great. lol

on the up side I get to build a snowman with my kids not sure if that is a fair trade or not.

... wasn't the entire point of that myth to test and see if you could actually run used cooker grease through a diesel engine car to begin with, and to compare the mileage between the two fuels?
It seems like the only thing they said about emissions was how the exhaust smelled like popcorn.
but everytime they do a myth about how to best the cops they do it with the cops there and the cops always turn out to be infallable. That comes off as dissingenous.
Cop myths?

She's FEMALE, dude, if you haven't figured out by now that it's the only justifiable reason a woman has to have for doing strange things, then you've got a long way to go yet.
I never had an issue with cleaning mania because of ocd, oddly enough. I go to the other extreme; I don't clean enough, and am a bit of a packrat.

Dad came home yesterday, less than 24 hours after surgery. He did not drive home whilst wearing blue jeans the way he thought he would. They've got him on Tylenol 3 for pain right now, and he's pretty much limited to a soft foods diet with no meat for the next few days.

Lover for 5 years?
That's basically a marriage--
Mine is going on for 8.
Anyways--
Don't leave it up for luck. Just about anything can be worked through if both of you are willing to fix it. Heck, I've been cheated on once... and things got better, eventually.

In some states, it's actually considered a common law marriage if you live together for five years or more. I'd be looking into that if I were you, mal.
