No eBook. Just the standard dead trees version. Stranger in a Strange Land. Someone lent it to me and it was high time I read it.
 
I'm a bad influence at work :)

His father was born to some really, really white Mormons; I don't think that makes him half Mexican...

Well okay, so it's not Mexican in the traditional sense. And he was technically born an American citizen.

It's just amazing to me, that his father is born in Chihuahua, his grand-father started a Missionary there, and he still has no clue about immigration.

Wait no, Great-Grandfather. His grandfather was born in Chihuahua as well.
 
Genetically speaking he's English, Scottish and German... I don't think you guys should have such blown minds right now. He was born in Michigan to a father who was Governor of Michigan and happened to be born on a Mormon mission in Mexico. Not alllll that mindblowing...

edit: Well, yes, in that sense, the irony is stupifying

There are three generations of his family that lived in Mexico. Two generations that were born there. He's the first Romney in 100 years born in America. (In his branch of the Romney tree anyway)
 
So for once I woke up earlyish today (11:30am) and caught a nice breakfast with my mom... to be honest it was a bit too sour XD Thank god I had some "chai" tea hahahah
Wish we had some eggs thou :(

The family on my father's side is almost 100% Colombian, and I'm pretty damn white myself.
That makes you actually (almost) half-Colombian!

This is fascinating history to be sure (I now know waaaay too much about the lineage of Mitt Romney for my comfort level) but of course the key here is that the Pratts were white, native-born Americans who then went to Mexico as missionaries. I don't think there's any stretch of the imagination that could make Mitt half-Mexican and I surely don't think he's going to be able to court the hispanic vote by citing his Mormon ancestors.

Please describe what's going on on those plates. Is that yoghurt, olives and naan with some type of fruit spread?
 
Good afternoon RP GAF. Yeah feeling a bit like a loser as I'm just now (well the haiku was the first post of mine here) finding this thread.

My GF wanted to dump me because she has so much shit in her life and is feeling smothered by it and now by me. I love her so I settled on just giving her space.

Sheepishly I played I won't give up by Jason Mraz. I love her folks. Wish me luck!

Sorry to derail the coke and cheese meal :P
 
Tea in Turkish is "Çay", pronounced like Chai...

Always thought it was kind of amusing for it to be called Tea Tea by Starbucks and the like.

"I want space" is code for "this relationship is over".
 
These are all the past avatars that I can find from this machine. I think I uploaded a couple from my computer at home before, but cant remember now. Oh, and the final one is the avatar I usually used before January.

Did I ever tell you you look EXACTLY like a friend of mines father? Seriously, it's quite uncanny. I've been meaning to mention it several times but I don't have pics of the dude, so I never did.

PS. You now have more variants than any of the female RPs, you happy now?
added 'em all :p

Oh, speaking of this, I'm not a girl, Sentry.

But I am honoured you would think so.
FUUUUU— first zombi now your, what is wrong with you people!! If you don't want to cut your hair, at least comb it in a non-girl looking way!! xd

with that list of avatars you could potentially create groups of gaf members.... Facial hair Gaf, Glasses Gaf, Bald Gaf etc :P

Interesting trivia, although now chai tea is a much different black tea than say the english breakfast. I appreciate a good cup of chai. Any tea, really.
 
"chai" is quoted because I believe Yemeni say shai or some variant thereof
Yeah, syrians too, we pronounce exactly like the word 'shy'.

OMG. Are you sure we don't live together? That's practically the exact same thing I ate this morning, minus the zaetoon (they were on the table, just hate them lol).

Zait & Zatar is so good when i'm in the mood for it, so is that strong feta cheese with some nice bread. I've gotten used to these traditional family foods but I still step back sometimes and say 'mmm this is good shit'.

not that kind of space. Without getting too much into detail, we were spending way too much time in our own bubble. We both have kids (I 1 and she 3) and we were neglecting that. Then again you could very well be right. Of course I hope not, but hey, I'm even thinking the same thing at this point and am taking it one day at a time now.
