Tsuga Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 The kids don't like Thai, and will whine if we go to a Thai restaurant. #notfair Also, the Thai food here isn't as good as back home in the Isaan. #hardlysurprising Part 1: WAT?!?! but.

Tsuga Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Meals are called rice in Japanese too. Breakfast is morning rice, lunch is noon rice and supper is night rice.. In Turkish and eastern dialects of Persian everything is osh, meaning, rice. Also, bread is naan and in some dialects all meals are naan. And then in some dialects it is all sheep soup. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Anytime we have a restaurant to ourselves, within 15-20 minutes, it begins to fill up. It never fails. Maybe we should visit that place so they can get more business... That's because you and yours are trend setters. Everyone watches you and copies what you do. They try to be sneaky about it, but in restaurants that's a little hard to do. Booyay for Renai!!!! Edited January 6, 2018 by AMJ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good sushi restaurant in Dad's Colorado town also serves a yummy beef bulgoki (their spelling, and I know, that's Korean). I'm going to have DD16 try it while she's there. She's going to love it! From that and Pad Thai it's not far to getting her to try other Thai foods. If I'm not careful she and her sister won't have much food-wise to discover on their own when they head off to college. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 WOW! I didn't know that.Air quality issues. And if you do have a fireplace, you have to have a permit to use it and there are certain days you can’t if the air quality is bad. I do think there are exceptions if you live in a shack and it is absolutely your only source of heating, but otherwise, no.... there are severe restrctions on fireplaces and ag burning.

luuknam Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yesterday we set a record high temperature of 72 degrees. Can we have some of that, instead of trying for a record low? Any record high will do, i.e., it doesn't have to be 72 - I'm not sure what the record high for today is, but for most days in January the record high is somewhere between 61 and 65. I'm even willing to settle for a near record at just 60 or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If that's too much to ask, anything >32 will suffice. That'd still be something like 35 degrees warmer than it is atm, and warm enough to melt some snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt wants me to read Plunder and Deceit. Current to me means within the last 10 years. See, I was thinking in that direction. I recently read this book "The Good Spy: The Life and Death of Robert Ames". https://www.amazon.com/Good-Spy-Life-Death-Robert/dp/0307889769 which was an amazing book. It was about Robert Ames, a CIA Operative in the 60's and 70's, who was killed in the 1983 bombing of the American Embassy in Beirut. And even though the events took place 30 years ago, we are still feeling the repercussions of the events and international policy ( and non-policy - he established a back channel with Yasser Arafat) that took place back then.

Because if it’s a book, the events wouldn’t be that current because of the time it takes to write and publish. Would current events be something that happened in my Lifetime? My high school history teacher once said that according to some historians, anything more recent than 30 years ago is too recent for historical analysis, and is current events. So, no, not anything during your lifetime (nor my lifetime). That said, for what you describe, I'd aim for things within the past 5 years. You can find a fair number of books about things within the past year even. Ongoing things tend to be great - like, the Israel-Palestine conflict... I don't know what books have been published about that recently, but it's an ongoing issue. Likewise, there should be books about Syria, or you could even get the coffee table photo book What Happened Last Night in Sweden (okay, that one doesn't sound appropriate for the assignment, since it's mostly photos, but, it was published in Sept iirc, and has to do with Trump's tweet in Jan or Feb, and then the actual attack that happened in April). There are probably recently published books about North Korea's nuclear ambitions as well. You could probably already find some book recapping 2017 overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
