  • That's what the peephole is for. Folks in movies and TV shows all the time opening the door and getting conked because they didn't use the peephole.

    If it's a package delivery, you can open the door when they've taken the picture, that way it won't get stolen.

    If it's someone you really want to see, oh sure how often does that happen? It's probably not.

    By the way, it's a good idea to silence your phone as you hide there, in case they decide to call you when you don't answer the door.

    If you would still like to see them on your terms, you can call once they're gone, and suggest a place to meet, not your home so you can leave when you're done.

  • I was hoping you were correct, but I don't think so.

    Now I'm gonna feel like a heel when I drink from mine or trumpet with it (it has a screw-off tip/mouthpiece).

    Although I guess I was already a heel because I assumed it was "aftermarket" (from cattle killed for beef) and I also eat beef.

  • No, but "bejabbers," often "sure and bejabbers," is associated with the "silly Irishman" trope. While I don't remember him ever saying it, that little leprechaun could say "Sure and bejabbers, they're after me Lucky Charms!" all in the same accent.

  • So a phone alarm would wake you but not a phone on vibrate? Sounds pretty normal to me. I'd wake up to a vibrating phone unless it's 4am my deepest sleep time, but I'm a light sleeper.

    Most people also follow a curvy path of lighter and deeper sleep cycles through the night.

  • Most adults I know who study a foreign language do so in order to speak it, perhaps visit that country. In languages that build words from letters, the phonemes are important to meaning. Obviously "heresy" is very different from "hearsay," but sow and sow are different words that sound different, while sew and so are also different but sound the same. It's especially important in order to appreciate literature, poetry, music, and jokes.
