Why is it when something is new, it is called "brand new"? What is the brand and where did it come from? |

And once again why is their braille writing on a drive up atm or why is there signs up no dogs allowed except for seeing eye dogs, is the dog supposed to read it to his master? I have yet to see the braille ATMs. I'm hoping that they're for the pasengers of the car and not the driver. Yikes. |

The story I heard as a child was that the Apostle Luke was kind of half-hearted about Jesus. Not real sure of his belief.
The word lukewarm has a long and respectable history, going right back to the 14th century. The adjective luke sems to be an alternative form of lew, Old English hleow, which meant 'tepid'. So it means 'warm-warm' |

Why do they call it a "hot water heater"? Hot water doesn't need heating! Yeah.....and it's COLD water that is being used in them! Heating it and Making it HOT. Maybe they shouldbe called "Cold Water Heater"..... That sounds like a more accurate name - cold water heater. |

I have yet to see the braille ATMs. I'm hoping that they're for the pasengers of the car and not the driver. Yikes. Just notice beside the pinpad. There should be a braille option there due to the handicapped accessible laws everywhere. |
