Yup. But you're still in your 40s. -- nm - mara May 10, 15:44
How can you be so obtuse? -- nm - Max May 10, 15:40 1
- hahahahaha SHUT UP! -- nm - sherlock homie May 10, 15:52
that's two different things. -- nm - Reagen May 10, 15:40 2
- and, not true. you are in your last year of a decade from 9th to 10th birthday. - Andie May 10, 15:44 1
  - exactly, it's not complicated. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:47
this would only be true if you started counting at 1 when you were born. birthdays don't work like calendar years. - Andie May 10, 15:40 28
- see Remlik? -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:40 27
  - century logic! We were not actually in the 21st century when it hit 2000! We were in it when it hit 2001. - Remlik May 10, 15:46 26
    - Dude. The calendar started with Year 1. You started with Year 0. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:49
    - but andie just proved that that doesn't apply to birthdays ... -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:49 24
      - but it does apply! -- nm - Remlik May 10, 15:51 23
        
        how? a decade is 10 years. when you turn 10 you have completed the decade. you have lived a full 10 years. - Andie May 10, 15:53 22
        
        Remlik says it does apply there it does apply - Danedukenuuk May 10, 15:55
        
        apparently he's living in the decade of denial. :) Quick, someone buy him a tiny sports car! -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:54 20
        
        oh, if that's all it is, i support his delusions. -- nm - Andie May 10, 15:55 19
        
        I'd be happy with a case of Candian Ketchup! - Remlik May 10, 15:57 18
        
        Just lobby Heinz to follow Hunt's lead. Problem solved. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 15:58 1
        
        my nephew (tax guy for the US Gov) called Heinz Corp and they won't do it. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01
        
        i was JUST thinking of that at the grocery store TODAY. - Andie May 10, 15:58 15
        
        it should say the weight on the bottle. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:08 10
        
        it has the volume on the bottle. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:09 9
        
        I just looked at my ketchup, it says "net weight" -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:12 8
        
        do you want to me to send you a picture of my ketchup? it says 750 ml. that's volume. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:14 7
        
        You don't know the density of your ketchup? Are you *sure* you're canadian? *suspicious look* - musubi May 10, 16:15 2
        
        NO! -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:16 1
        
        *sheepish* I was just asking? - musubi May 10, 16:18
        
        hee! I believe you. I guess canada has different ketchup rules. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:15 3
        
        It's probably not a vegetable in Canada, either. -- nm - CovingtonCat May 10, 16:17
        
        liquids are generally measured in litres here. Don't you measure stuff in fluid ounces in the US? -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:16 1
        
        food is measured in weight. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 16:17
        
        I will be happy to pay in advance. -- nm - Remlik May 10, 16:01 3
        
        i just have no idea what it will cost. Canada Post does it by weight and package size. and it might be *outrageous.* -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:07 2
        
        Purolator might be less outrageous -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 16:14 1
        
        it might, actually. -- nm - Andie May 10, 16:17
See? -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:38 3
- pssst he is disagreeing with you. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:39 2
  - Exactly the reason of my victory see? -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 15:39 1
    - oooooh. *nods* -- nm - loosilu May 10, 15:39
