What about derechos, volcanos, tsunamis?
I don’t even know what a derecho is! (IIRC it’s the Spanish word for the direction “right” but that doesn’t seem to fit the context so I assume it means something else. 
)

It’s enough to make you turn to dance (drink was prohibited in those days).
Derechos: yes
Volcanos: no
Tsunami: unknown. It’s on the coast so it could be possible, but there’s minimal data on US east coast tsunamis
Doesn’t mean anything to me either.
Had to look it up because very curious now.
Its an American term for a weather phenomenon derived from a Spanish word.
Well the Spanish language gave us El Niño and La Niña, so I guess that language is influential in the world of meteorology.
I did look the term up after posting. Don’t think it’s something I used to know and forgot… I think I never learned about them.
I have had the experience of the weather being completely calm and then a blast of wind comes along and it’s super windy and stormy for 15 minutes and then it’s completely calm again.
You can hear the wind approaching. It’s weird. That sounds a little different than a derecho though.
California also has Santa Ana winds.

I’m wearing spanx today, the kind that is essentially a body suit with shorts, and it has a slit in it in the crotch, similar to boxers, presumably for easy access (not THAT kind…). But I’m not entirely sure I trust the mechanics of it. I certainly won’t be testing it out at the office today.

I’ve been on decaf all month, which doesn’t seem to come with some of the same…side effects…if you will.

Does it have iron in it? The aftertaste of iron multivitamins makes me gag. Also upsets my stomach if I don’t eat a good deal of food simultaneously.

I have one a couple of mile from here since 5/5.
Couldn’t figure out why,
e-mailed sender, seems it is hung up in customs

Yeah, I don’t get the slit in the crotch thing. Way too risky to use on the toilet. I have this on a pair of Spanx as well and don’t know why it’s there. People aren’t actually having sex in Spanx are they?!?!
Maybe a feminine hygiene product, but even that seems risky. Visit to the gynecologist?!?!

I get a lot of LinkedIn requests, basically I decide if there is a reason not to accept, even if not necessarily someone I have desire to connect to (I do avoid Head Hunters).
So I accepted an invite and of course he is trying to sell something. ok, assumed that, didn’t annoy me.
He endorsed me as an actuary and two other skills (didn’t even bother to look what skills) - how meaningless is that. Why is it even a feature as this proves that it is of no value what-so-ever

Just got off a 35-minute call with a major financial services company re: bonus kids stuff, where any documents that need to be sent have to be sent by fax because they don’t have e-mail or a physical address I can send them to. And/or, if they’re sent by e-mail or physical mail it’s no guarantee what’s received is accurate and legitimate. And/or, if they’re sent by e-mail or physical mail there’s no guarantee they’ll actually get routed correctly.
Of course, if I fax the documents there’s also no guarantee they’ll actually get routed correctly, and there’s no explanation of how sending by fax is more secure or assures the legitimacy of what’s being faxed. But, if I fax and give it a week, or maybe two, then maybe they’ll have everything. And if not, just fax it again, sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.

I don’t think Mr. Stuart Klugman understands what volunteer graders value and enjoy about volunteer grading.
Or more likely, he and the SOA do, they just don’t care.
