  1. I'm left handed and have been called an oaf(clumsy?), but that is not my family name. Mine is one of The most popular ones (common?). One of my close friends is a Meszaros, but he is a lawyer, which is not the same as a butcher(is it?). https://www.reference.com/education/common-hungarian-last-names-77e2a83d76d1cf9d?qo=contentSimilarQuestions# sandrewn

  3. If you are like me, the orange juice I drink every day comes from a carton. I always choose the one that says, all natural from concentrate, 100% orange juice. After reading this article, I am thinking of going back to squeezing my own. http://www.foodrenegade.com/secret-ingredient-your-orange-juice/ sandrewn

  9. If you have a few minutes, some of these 150(hilarious) acts of vandalism got even grumpy old me to crack a smile or two, even the odd chuckle. No entry signs seem to be a popular target. sandrewn
  10. I actually had an encounter with a large(to me) clam of about 18 inches while snorkelling near Eilat on the Red Sea. About ten feet down, this quivering jellyfish(me) refused a challenge to put my hand inside it. Visions of drowning or having to cut my hand off to get free were my only thoughts, so I declined.

  12. While I was looking for the video that Bill Paxton directed called "Fish Heads" I came across this one called(don't laugh) ' Jizz In My Pants '. I really don't know who would intentionally go out of their way to watch this? Not me, but you be the judge and watch it if you want and no, I do not want to hear any of you raving about it(please). sandrewn
  13. I saw him in many movies, but it was in, Predator and then Apollo 13 that his face and name came together in my mind. Films, directing, television, he did them all. He first made the news as that face sticking out in a crowd: Crowd waiting to see President John F.Kennedy emerge from Hotel Texas in Fort Worth on November 22 1963.The kid seen raised above the crowd is none other than future director-actor Bill Paxton (1955–2017). A tune I have always liked and now finding out he helped direct the original video was a bonus. Bill Paxton May 17, 1955 - February 25, 2017 R.I.P. "Fair Winds and Following Seas" sandrewn (a fan)

  16. There's always a little truth behind every "JUST KIDDING" a little knowledge behind every "I DON'T KNOW" a little emotion behind every "I DON'T CARE" and a little pain behind every "IT'S OK" sandrewn (oh so true)
  17. Did you know? That he and Walt Disney trained together as ambulance drivers during WW I. They both lied about their ages to get in.

  25. With every thing I could post here. This one might not rate high in the estimation of some. Hearing how someone paid $500 for an operation to save their pet goldfish, when there are children starving to death in the world. I don't know where to draw the line. So in the grand scheme of things this post may not mean much, but to the little chicks involved it was a life saver. http://www.boredpanda.com/1000-chicks-dumped-field-england/ sandrewn (I was always a soft touch)
