The research shows that we reach a peak of miserableness (or is that a trough of happiness?) around the age of 45. From then on, we get progressively happier until near the end. Then I assume it goes down again.

I love to nuke my taste buds. I think I will go hot. If I make one from scratch, I normally make it so hot no one else wants any so I eat it all. :oops:

What if you don't love any of them? :ROFLMAO: Actually, I never perceived the interpretation in your first example. But now I see it, it upsets my sense of reality. I was happy living in ignorance and I am sure my English teacher used to say no comma on the list item just before "and".

The method of loci is long established. I suspect the memory wizards have tried all sorts of method, but this one seems to stick. By having an image in your mind of something that you can repeatedly recall (e.g. a building you know), you have "hooks" on which to hang the material. You just have...

And how about educating the uninitiated (i.e. me!) about the Oxford comma etcetera?

You could be our resident linguist, pulling all an sundry apart for their typos! :ROFLMAO:

I will have to give that a bash. Added Schwartz to the shopping list!

Wow, sounds like you have been through the wars there. :( Anything to do with the spine freaks me out a bit. Currently, medical science seems to struggle with regrowing nerves. I am certain in the near future they will find a way. I know someone who was in the police force and rolled the squad...

For some odd reason, I keep typing "their" instead of "there" on this forum. Never done that before! But when I read back my posts, I am finding this mistake everywhere. What common grammatical errors do you see others do that drive you nuts?

So do you concur with Jane that it is a good, easy to make chilli?

Insane_AI, did you get that nerve damage from your work? I know it is hard to "fix" nerve damage. My mother has neuralgia pain after a nasty bout of shingles, leaving her with a chronic condition where paracetamol has little effect. The neurologist said they can try to kill the nerve, but it...

Lez, what was the most difficult thing from you regarding the divorce? You said it nearly broke you but what was the hardest part of it? Well done Doc on the 24 years. That is more than most. Relationships are not easy and to have stayed the course is admirable.

I have enabled cleaner looking web URLs, so they don't show things like index.php etc. Also made sure they URLs are canonical, for those who understand this stuff. This means that if you entered the address http instead of https, you get redirected to https, for your own security!

I've decided to move around some of the forum sections, reordering to reflect the evolving nature of this forum. In all the madness, there is some logic to my reasoning. Bear in mind that this is in a state of flux, so when you next plug-in, don't be surprised to see that things have shifted...

Are you referring to the Alerts notification on the top right of the website? Or are you talking about email alerts being sent out to you?

Another tagline idea I just had: "Plug-in or get left behind" Idea was generated by thinking about The_Doc_Man's "spigot in the back of the head" logo idea.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is that a bit of a Matrix reference? Getting plugged into the network?

This new experimental forum section is about getting others to assist you on any decision or problem you may have. Just tap into other peoples life experience to get another perspective on your issues, be they related to work, relationships, health, money or whatever.

I know how prevalent divorce is and how stressful it can be. Not from personal experience because no one wanted to marry me in the first place! But I have heard many stories about how unpleasant it can all be. Have you been divorced and how did it affect you?

The quality of your life is determined by two things: the quality of your decision making and luck. Making decisions alone can be hard. Two minds are better than one, ten minds are better than two, one hundreds minds are better than ten. You get the picture. The concept here is that if you...
