Chat Thread: Chopsticks and teacups

[Ashley the Bee]

I happened upon a few terrible jokes and wanted to share them xd

Q: How many witches does it take to change a light bulb?
A: That depends what you want it to change into.

Q: How many Gardnerian witches does it take to change a light bulb?
A: I'm sorry, that's oathbound.

Q: How many sex magicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: ... They screw on the altar, not in light bulbs.

And one more that I always found amusing ^^;

Q: How many flies does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Just two, but the trick is getting them inside.

I'm sorry, I'm a bad bad girl ._.

The water in Athens, Ohio, is full of stuff that people use to put in the swimming pools and that I'm allergic to. The Dutch word for it is 'chloor', but I've found it doesn't quite translate properly.

Either way, a colleague I'm with put stones/minerals in one of the water-bottles that we purchased and it tastes way better now!

Yay for useful knowledge!

Probably chlorine.

times to have the talk about Roma and cultural appropration: when all 4 of us are drunk as s**t.

apparently, saying "prove it" in real life doesn't work.

I turn the laptop around like "can you show me?"

Doesn't work when you both have laptops. Said person generally doesn't listen to anyone elses arguments anyways. Since I reference Tea a lot, the third wants to have a talk with her as well, and the fourth here decided to go get water instead of talking politics.

It was, at least, productive in the sense that we talked about it. Even if we all had to be drunk to do so.

Also, I bypassed sleepy drunk! Yay!

Yay for talking about it and bypassing sleepy drunk!

Just recently came upon a different tactic and finally feel confident about the position. People keep saying Gaia didn't use it offensively because it's a "culture" and part of the circus atmosphere, and fortune tellers dress this way, etc.

Blackface plays on the racist concepts that were applied to the African Americans, yet not "directly racist" (according to the most recent arguments) the same as the Fortune Telling G~ does for the Roma.

Yay for new developments!

Whatever it is, it's no good for me. Thankfully, they've put it in the tap-water, the shower, and they clean their bedsheets and towels with it! I was overjoyed to be informed, of course.

It was pretty hilarious when we went to www.ohiocaverns.com and the guy there was all "Yeah, well, that's city-water for you," though. XD

Still, I didn't think putting quartz in water was gonna have that much of an effect on the taste.

Was the water in an open or closed container?

I'm in a funk today. I had a rough morning and my family is freaking out about it. sweatdrop

Closed. She put the lid back on.

Is that a bad thing/only logical?

All I know is that she's been doing that for years now without any seemingly ill effects to her own health. She does use open containers as well back home, though.

She also put in a combination of stones, but I'm only a minor when it comes to stoneology and I'm not sure what the English translation for "berg kristal" is, but it's a quartz and it looks like these - scroll down for more examples, but website is in Dutch. Mountain quartz, maybe? Or just regular crystal, but as said, I'm pretty new to the field and can barely discern a number of minerals from one another.

@Esiris: I would offer you coffee or tea, but I'm not sure what kind of funk it was and if that's even useful in this case.

Mountain quartz, maybe? Or just regular crystal, but I'm not very good at this yet.

It's called clear quartz or rock crystal quartz. There are a lot more New Age-type names, though.

If chlorinated water is left in an open container overnight, the chlorine will evaporate on its own. That's why I wondered.

You are full of win for telling me this! I can't stand the tap water back home because I can taste the chlorine - now I know what I can do to try and counteract it, without having to spend loads on filters.

Thank you!!! heart

Oh for ******** sake. Is this really what this discussion has come to? I mean when an entire thoughtful post is dismissed with a complaint that people who stand for social justice are overbearing? WTF?
