    - Sorry Kelly that sounds awful -- nm - Pippy "Go Ohio a State!!" Dec 22, 20:05
  - (says at about 60-65 it becomes a risk, increasing from there). -- nm - mafic Dec 22, 19:56

- I have not yet seen it and I have no desire to see it. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 20:42

    - (They built the aqueduct.) -- nm - con_carne Dec 22, 19:44
  - Harry Potter, Pirates, Hunger Games, All of the Marvel movies... -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 19:41 1

    - Harry Potter maybe, with Radcliffe reprising the role like Broderick did for Ferris in 2012. -- nm - Max Dec 22, 19:34 1

  - ... buy pre-bought shells. Easy peasy. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 19:50 1
    - it's like you don't know me or somethin'. my inner martha can sometimes be hushed, but that'd kill her. she's no sandra lee! -- nm - b. Dec 22, 19:53
- I had to count add WW points to my day, just for reading your post. -- nm - Bacon Dec 22, 19:24 1
