Personally, I suspect the number of telemarketers in Hell is greater than most people would suppose, and the number of incessant tuneless whistlers somewhat lower. and I somehow doubt there is a large parking lot full of abandoned hand-baskets despite how many people claim that to be their preferre...

I'm not too sure what the machine is called, but the process is called fumigation. A chemical gas or fine mist is sprayed to control insects, bacteria, moulds, viruses, odours. Another common term is "fogging". I might call it a fumigation gun...and I'm sure most folks would know what I was talking ...

It's good to read you, Bob. Cheers and good luck.

Facebooker 1 is referring to being wounded in battle. He was "hit" means he was shot or struck by shrapnel and transferred to the Mercy. Wiki says the Mercy served in the Persian Gulf for six months in 90/91 during the first Gulf war.

The cops broke up two large house parties, just chock-a-block with revellers, this past weekend in my town. It was a lovely weekend (weather-wise) and the beaches were full with folks socializing or playing volleyball. A reporter stopped three young girls strolling arm in arm down the promenade and ...

Exactly Steve, but it does seem to be an odd construction. You be more likely to hear "she has been gone..." rather than "she is gone..."
It may be a regional quirk, perhaps from New York. They seem to use that jumbled time thing..."I have been driving a car since I'm 16 years old!"

Sadly, there are plenty of arseholes potentially spreading in around in my province by refusing to follow some basic common-sense precautions.

That's probably not the guy you want to be learning from. It should be "time of need", not "tine of need". Although the store he refers to may well be "convenient", I suspect he really means "convenience store". As far as your original question, he may have just fallen asleep in mid-sentence or simp...

I can't see the picture...but your description conjures up some odd images.

...or even with its faults, we're lucky...

Steve, Steve, Steve...Google "soap on a rope" and read the Wikipedia article explaining what it is. Now Google "dropping the soap in prison". Have a read and it should all become (painfully) clear.

It means that the other manufacturers are not as advanced as Tesla (with regards to electric cars). Think of "first gear" as a starting point or as moving forward quite slowly. Although electric vehicles have been around in some form or other since the late 1800s, Tesla was really the pioneer of the...

I suppose the situation occurred as a result of all the "panic-buying" around COVID 19. The Facebooker is commenting that the virus attacks the lungs and not the digestive system so why is she stocking up on toilet tissue. I had the same thought as I was at Costco the other day and witnessed people ...

Those all work, for me. "Too", "also" and "as well" are connecting it to another injury...not (necessarily) to another bruise.

They certainly look like apples on the outside but that new photo looks like the inside of a stone fruit (peach, plum, mango). Whatever they are, I don't think we grow them here...at least, not on a commercial scale.
