Saturday Word~ fulgent: radiant

Years ago I purchased a laptop from Walmart, with extended warranty. When I got home I discovered it did not work, so I took it back. I was told it was a manufacturing problem and would have to send it in. In questioning the warranty I was told if it was broken I could exchange it or get a refund, but since it didn't work, it had to be returned to the company.

I took it out to the parking lot and threw it down twice, which busted the screen off the laptop. I went back in and told the same person I had dropped it and it broke. I was issued a full refund.

I think I read something about this in the Ant Farmers Almanac.
Adherennium - Maybe Writing? Author Icon - Nor have they invented fat farms. Maybe we humans aren't thinking arightly. Maybe it isn't natural things like sugar, milkfat, and such that are truly bad for us. Maybe it's man-made additives that keep us all unhealthy; additives like MSG, phosphoric acid, and stuff with names which no human can pronounce.

This is due to the developmental damage wrought by lead poisoning.

Merry Christmas WDC!!!! I in every five adults believe that aliens are hiding on our planet disguised as humans ( or Santa!)

And, six out of seven dwarfs aren't Happy.
IF aliens have arrived from outer space, I seriously doubt they landed, purchased Asian-built drones, and are just buzzing American social media loafers to get a shot at internet notoriety.

Soldier_Mike Author Icon - I wonder too.
I've read a few 'definitive' statements about dreaming that were untrue, but I suspect this could be true. As to how you're know, dreams are accompanied by rapid eye movements. Presumably these cease when a subject begin to snore.
