Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

No problem with the meaning(s), just the pronunciation. Should be "fye-reh". Maybe the final"e" is silent, like the "x" in coffee.*
*one of my dad's favorite explanations
The 'cute one', of course.
Yeah, but Hendrix would have sounded stupid singing "let me stand next to your fyr-reh."
The local pronunciation of "fire" is "far."
I've been a proponent of changing Missouri's name to Misery in the summer. The air gets pretty thick. You almost need a knife to slice it before inhaling. I have seen worse. A few years ago I spent a few summer days near the South Carolina beach (Edisto Island). I was surprised that the fish could tell the water from the air...
I grew up just south of Baltimore and spent my 20's in Washington DC. I have curly hair and there was absolutely no point in trying to straighten it because the humidity made short work of that effort. Standing in the shade and standing in the sun feel the same; it's hot and humid and your sweat does nothing to help you because you're soaked from what's in the air already.
Out here in California I can have straight hair for days. Shade is cool. Sweat cools you off. I understand it all so much better now.

Curly hair is definitely a mixed blessing.
Maybe, that was the problem with all those "unsafe" Firebird X guitars Gibson crushed in the PR video?
You can do that. I use Aridzona to describe a certain state near So. Cal.
In my case, it's more of a mixed curse.

I hear you. Wet, my hair reaches mid-back. Dry, shoulder length. And still recovering from a mad stylist two years ago. See my pro on Friday. As a gamer, my warlock class raider used offensive spells called DOTs, or Damage Over Time spells. The spell does X damage every Y unit of time for the duration of the curse (it's evil, hey, we warlocks are feared and loathed for reasons LOL). And a pair of shears in the right hands does damage over time, and it takes a long time to remove the curse.
In totally unrelated news, returned today from the growers' market with cantaloupe, donut peaches, green tomatoes for frying, and lima beans. It's the lima beans that I called dinner to-night, and they are most excellent.
I eat cantaloupe every day. It has many health benefits, including ones related to skin and hair. See below. It’s good for your eyes, blood pressure, and contributes fibre.

Cantaloupe with blueberries will be my Sunday breakfast.
Have taken a liking in late afternoons to a double espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. Its health benefits are primarily mental health benefits.

I had a tall, skinny Univox amp with one 15...1969-‘71ish...had that classic garbage band/fart in church scent...
The next amp I remember lived with me from ‘74-75...a beautiful Traynor...silver grill hiding 2X15...50? watts of tubey sweet...
Then came the Ric...
I just hate it in the movies when they yell, "fire at Will!" Sheesh, what did I ever do???

There's a particularly sinful recipe of waffle mix used in most all the U.S. mid-level hotels. One of my fun activities is to make my own waffles in the hotel breakfast section in the morning. I discovered that the mix is called "Golden Malted." It has a hint of caramel and vanilla and you have to add melted butter to the batter.
Is it probably death by cholesterol? Probably. Is it outrageously delicious? Definitely. Well tomorrow I'm making Golden Malted waffles with my Waring Belgian waffle maker. When I do, wife Carey rolls her eyes. To her a waffle is a waffle and she'd much rather have the cantaloupe with blueberries anyway...
My guess(opinion?)is that if you ate 1(oh, what the hell, 2 or 3 )of these every morning, it could be a problem. As an occasional treat, go for it.[same goes for Krispy Kreme.
