This is a normal post Aye. Most thunderstorms
here in the U.S. take place early evening around 6ish.

Sounds weird that, I know (as an Englishman who has recently moved to the US and can understand how odd reliable weather is) but you can pretty much set you watch by it in the summertime. When we have a blisteringly hot day, we get a kick ass thunderstorm between 6-8pm without fail.

This is a link post so i've not been on b3ta for more than a month.
girlfriend bolted me off. deserved it really. i'm hitting and running just now cos i've given up the internet (plus constant weed smoking) as entertainment but i just wanted to say that of all the places i spent too much time on, b3ta was the best. the friendliest place i found online. genuine enjoyment in other peoples creativity, quirks, opinions and niceness. not online much at all now but still telling people who are that this is the best place on the internet. was long overdue time for a break and the dumpage was a wakeup to the other world (the purportedly real one) but i'm a bit pissed and hoping that if anyone recognises me from previous links posts that they can pass on that i valued the chat a whole lot more more than the funny links. cheers. tickle

This is a normal post This is the best place
Don't let a lady tell you otherwise, this is the best place on the net. Honestly, I just joined, but I've been lurking for nearly 9 years....Since I was 13!! Yes. It was not appropriate for me back in the day, lol. The weed smoking though? You're right, stop that. To a lady it is severely unattractive. But stay here though. Or else you'll never see the best links or what you can make out of bacon this week. definitely remain here. The internet is not something that has to be quit. Just restricted. Learning that is an important and necessary thing. Check the news, check b3ta, and then read a book.

Quit the weed though. makes you a big douche. and it costs a lot. But As a lady, appreciate b3ta. it's the best thing since sliced bread plus a blowjob. Or equivalent sexual act that was not asked for.
