When people with allergies talk about issues with pollen they generally mean tree pollen, and not wildflowers or something.

Dip Viscous posted:When people with allergies talk about issues with pollen they generally mean tree pollen, and not wildflowers or something. Not really. According to my many allergists, predominant pollens are basically seasonal. Spring is trees, Summer is grass, Fall is weeds. Unless you only hear complaints in spring then people are affected by the other types of pollen too.

I would guess tree pollen tends to be what gets blown around most due to the height. But sticking your nose in a bouquet might not be such a great idea either.

I thought that too but nah it's Greek quote:Epaminondas Stathopoulos named the company "Epiphone" as a combination of his own nickname "Epi" and the suffix "-phone" (from Greek phon-, "voice")

No one's ever been able to tell me how to pronounce Colm Ó Cíosóig's surname. I've just realised it's the original spelling of Cusack.

I'm in absolutely no way fluent, but I think it's like "O Keysowig" or maybe "O Keyshowig"? Neither of which sound obviously like "Cusack" but I can absolutely hear how the Irish language name got simplified into the anglicised version. Keysowig become keyhsawik becomes kewsack as a lot of the sounds get blurred together. Pookah has a new favorite as of 22:03 on Oct 17, 2023 |

When you change your forums username, quoted posts with your old username don't get highlighted, denying you (me) that little rush of endorphins when you (I) see a purple block on a page. I'm sure the reason is just "Radium" (said with a heavy sigh) and I'm willing to accept that (probably something to do with the user names not matching, even though the user id is the same).
