Kevin's Watch

It does bother a couple of folks here, and I respect that. I'm half Jewish, but I know next-to-nothing about my family history.

Break out the fish, Ali - perhaps they can prepare it for "breakfast".

I think someone should be a Grammar "Nazi".

TheFallen has Grammar Police badges featured in his sig, but he's been MIA for almost an entire year.

I was about to say I was sure I'd seen him around, but that was Icarus UnFallen, now that I think about it.

Anyway, it's just a word. (Well, more an acronym really.) Its connotations may be unpleasant, but context is important too I think.

Word.

Yes, I believe I started a conversation objecting to the word and Syl proposed an alternative out of sensitivity to me, if I recall the conversation.

It's been mentioned a few times that Donald Trump is reminiscent of the character Greg Stillson from Stephen King's novel, The Dead Zone, does this picture prove it?

Damn.

Anyone play the 2048 game?

The first time my daughter showed it to me, I spent all day playing it and ran down my phone battery.

Then I deleted the app from my phone.

Then I put it back on.

You know technology is out of control when the weather comes with an edit button.





Also, it doesn't work. Must still be in beta. That actually explains a lot about the last few years.

I would imagine that's to edit your location...in case they haven't tracked you accurately enough, y'know.

Then they should put the edit button by the location instead of by the description!

That would be too obvious.

Well, someone managed to hit the thunderstorm button today.

Been rainy here too recently...nice.

We're experiencing record-breaking rain here, after being told it would be another year of drought. People are already tired of it. I'm personally enjoying it - we can go years without seeing storms like this.

Drought has been bad here too the last year or so...still not getting enough rain for my taste though.

I thought this video was neat, but the comments are ridiculous! lol

Whoah, I clicked on "Preview" to wrap the link tabs on the above address, but it was already a link in the preview! Is The Watch doing that for me, or is my web browser smart enough to make it link on its own???

Just in case, here is a linked link:

I believe it does indeed automatically make it a clickable link.

It will parse the link automatically. The only reason to use the link tags is if you wanted to make anchor text
