| A late NT friend used to use the phases "uh huh" and Oh boy" quite frequently. It about drove me crazy. I finally mentioned it to him off hand. He didn't even realise how much he used them until I brought it to his attention. He did make an effort to not use them so much. |

| Yes, either management or I (sometimes management fail to get to it) test my smoke alarms twice a year. I have one in my bedroom and one near the kitchen. I find the one near the kichen to be a nuisance though as anytime I make a dish that creates smoke or steam it sets the blasted thing off (yes, I... |

| Sadly, I am stuck using the woefully inadequate bus system in Indianapolis. I had given thought of perhaps purchasing a used car a few years ago but the job I had at the time didn't work out.
