    the only word in the english language where all vowels appear once and in the same order as in the alphabet: facetious.

    Is facetiously a word so we can also do the sometimes Y thing?

    No because the "Y", isn't being used; as a vowel!

    My Hubby's grandfather fought in WWII, part of the 2nd infantry- carried a bazooka. He was 30 when he enlisted, they called him the "old man". He was a tough SOB. Captured by the nazis twice. First time he jumped off a bridge to evade them, second time they wanted him to show where his platoon was, so he yelled ambush and ducked down- he could've gotten killed in the crossfire. The man gave 0 Fs. He died in the 80s.

    When the US joined the fight in WWII, my grandfather ran away from home at the age of 14 and JOINED the army. He got sent back home once they found out his real age. That didn't deter him though, eventually he became an MP in the Marines. OOORAH!

    There will be another total lunar eclipse this year and again in January 2019

    I have a moon boner tell me more

    Well the one this summer won't be visible in North America but the one next January will be visible across North America for the entire totality

    Wanna take a trip to where it will be visible?

    For the July one? Like Australia or Europe. That sounds good

    In for an Aussie trip.

    C/P from internet:

    Your cat’s whiskers are exquisitely sensitive.
    Your cat’s whiskers are rooted much more deeply in her skin than her ordinary fur, and the area around them has a very generous supply of nerves and blood. This makes the whisker tips so sensitive that they can detect even the slightest change in the direction of a breeze. Because of that sensitivity, it can actually cause your cat pain if you mess with her whiskers. Eating out of a bowl that presses on your cat’s whiskers can also be disturbing, so consider feeding your cat on a plate or buying her a wide, flat feeding bowl.
