    Have you ever swam in a lake filled by the waters from a melting glacier? Even though I did it over 30 years ago, can you understand how vivid my memories of that experience remain?

    Don't I imagine it was similar to my unforgettable experience 30 years ago swimming in a small lake high in the Sierras and the even more unforgettable experience 50 years ago swimming in a larger lake in Switzerland?

    Because teenagers don't always put two and two together, shouldn't they be warned that glacier-fed lakes are cold, even in the summer? Or is it better to let them experience a bone-chilling, heart-stopping, breath-taking cold that will still be chiseled into their memories decades later?

    That time in Switzerland, didn't I feel like if I didn't immediately swim as hard as I could, my heart would definitely stop? Have you heard the expression "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? 🤔😂

    Isn't the expression what doesn't kill you better run faster than you?

    Isn’t it, “you just have to outrun your friends not the bear?”

    Is that a new version? Or am I just out of date? Sounds pretty badass, doesn't it?

    Have you lot tempted me ,even in the slightest, to abandon swimming in beaches in warm Australian summers for frozen lakes in snowy winters?

    Is there an expiration date for quotes?

    is it not always about the company not the location?

    Do you think it’s because all the sugar from the soda sends you crashing and each effect sort of cancels the other one out, @nossmf ?

    @paperpudding , how are you gonna tell us a word and leave out its meaning like that?

    What is the etymology of that idiom? (Does anybody know which show/character this quote came from?)

    Do you always utilize parentheses for the sol purpose of making an inquiry to the layperson , @nossmf ? (Do you think we’re dumb for the first question?)

    Are you willing to trust my judgment in snacks, since I am so divergent from the rest of this thread in choice of beverages?

    Is this your sly way of not calling yourself out for being anti-coffee, @nossmf ? 🤣

    Is there a corresponding "left" hotel, in case we cannot locate the "right" one?

    authentic?
    real?
    true?
    proper?
    precise?
    exact?
    logical?

    Isn’t it too late for me to correct it? Did I mention I sometimes type on a Spanish keyboard?

    Did anyone hear you call "shotgun"?
    (Can I assume everyone knows what I'm talking about?)

    isn't it annoying when the keyboard switches languages and you did not know it?

    Does it also make you mess up the l and ñ? or get the wrong accent like è instead of é?

    are these just my problems with the spanish/english keyboard?

    Shouldn't you? I mean, who would want to skip an opportunity to enjoy a hot springs pool?
