I used bro with my friends in the 80's. But not now. When I see people use it with random encounters, it's cringy. I use "little dude" with with young kids. My best friend's uncle used to say "Howdy men," when us 10 year olds came in the door. I really liked that and use it for friend's lads.

Box in the back seat and got out on a windy highway. The geese attacked her before she could pull over biting and pulling her hair, neck and ears and cheeks and she crashed the car into the cliff side. Everybody and the geese were ok. The newspaper clippings are somewhere

I did pest control and offices that went carbonless paper had this sudden increase in “paper fleas” especially in the fall. There was no such thing as paper fleas and we’d just spray water to bring the humidity level up The building manager knew we’d spray just water and the office girls thought I was a miracle worker. Had a few pesticides complaints ( dizziness, office smell giving certain staff headache possible pesticide exposure by the workers)

Grew up in a rural area We were 11 and had a friend whose dad owned a ranch took horses and a couple od .22's semis and .410's camping for a weekend several times and all our parents knew about it. Five kids riding horses for about 3-4 hours to a lake in the middle of nowhere. One of hte other kid's parents had a cabin at a lake and one of our parents would drive us out there for the weekend. Our parents just wanted us out their hair so they could go party.

After the gutters are cleaned and the roof checked, she can clean the chimney as well, just make sure dinner is on time.

I’m interested in people and have been to funerals to people that I have never met or met once or twice. I usually end up helping out with making coffee, doing dishes and cleaning up. Also my family takes a “live and let live” attitude. If you don’t want to attend a funeral because you didn’t like them or had an unresolved issue with the deceased for the past 30 years, we won’t hold it against you.
