Traffic collision
A traffic collision, also called a motor vehicle collision (MVC) among other terms, occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree, pole or building. Traffic collisions often result in injury, death, and property damage.

Casino
A casino is a facility which houses and accommodates certain types of gambling activities. The industry that deals in casinos is called the gaming industry. Casinos are most commonly built near or combined with hotels, restaurants, retail shopping, cruise ships or other tourist attractions. There is much debate over whether the social and economic consequences of casino gambling outweigh the initial revenue that may be generated. Some casinos are also known for hosting live entertainment events, such as stand-up comedy, concerts, and sporting events.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Fly fishing is an angling method that uses a light-weight lure -- called an artificial fly -- to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line.

Wow, that sounds yummy. Do you know much about other alcoholic drinks or just the appletini?
I also know about the "Rumpletini" which replaces the vodka with light rum.
Hm... interesting. What else is in there besides rum?

made with Martini Bianco white vermouth and apple juice in a long drink glass filled with ice.
In popular culture.
- Some believe this drink, the "apple martini," could not have been invented in 1996 as claimed above because it is mentioned as the drink served to Jeff Bailey/Markham in Jacques Tourneur 1947 classic noir "Out of the Past", however the belief is due to an error in a subtitle, where the line "have a Martini" was misprinted as "apple martini."

Appletini
An Apple martini (Appletini for short) is a cocktail containing vodka and one or more of apple juice, apple cider, apple liqueur, or apple brandy.
This drink, originally called an Adam's Apple Martini because the bartender who created it was named Adam, was created in 1996 at Lola's West Hollywood restaurant.
The drink, Adam's Apple was advertised by Smirnoff in the July 1972 issue of Playboy Magazine to the inside front cover. The recipe called for an ounce or so of Smirnoff

My favorite move is Good Burger directed by Brian Robbins
I've never heard of that one. What is it about?
It was a story of high school student Dexter Reed. He takes his mother's car on a joyride while she is on a business trip and accidentally crashes into and damages the car of his teacher
Oh geez! That sounds exciting.
Yes. I always love all movies produced by Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures.
Nickelodeon always has some good shows for kids.
Yes it is an arm of the American children's cable channel Nickelodeon.
That makes sense. I also like Nick At Nite.

Plot.

My favorite hobby is stamp collecting its a collecting of postage stamps and related objects, have you tried it?
No how does it work?
Well you search for new postage stamps, it proved to be an almost perfect hobby for collectors because there was a never ending stream of new stamps
What are they used for?

is the study of stamps. A philatelist may, but does not have to, collect stamps. It is not uncommon for the term "philatelist" to be used to mean a stamp collector. Many casual stamp collectors accumulate stamps for sheer enjoyment and relaxation without worrying about the tiny details. The creation of a large or comprehensive collection, however, generally requires some philatelic knowledge and will usually contain areas of philatelic studies.
Postage stamps are often collected for their historical value and geographical aspects and also for the many subjects

Stamp collecting
Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects. It is related to philately, which is the study of stamps. It has been one of the world's most popular hobbies since the late nineteenth century with the rapid growth of the postal service, as a never-ending stream of new stamps was produced by countries that sought to advertise their distinctiveness through their stamps.
Collecting.
Stamp collecting is generally accepted as one of the areas that make up the wider subject of philately, which

I have 2 pet cats I love them so much.
I love cats too. Are your cats house cats, mostly indoors, or do you have any outside cats?
They stay inside house cats they don't care to be outside to much they are very prissy lol.
I think they make great pets and are so good for companionship. They are also good at hunting vermin like mice!
They are really good for the mice situation I have a friend that had a roof problem where mice were in her building and her cat actually caught one . It would have freaked me out though lol.

registries.
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felid species, with a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth and retractable claws adapted to killing small prey. They are predators who are most active at dawn and dusk (crepuscular). Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. Compared to humans, they see better in the dark (they see in near total darkness) and have a better sense of smell

spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated, and any adoption fee is often waived. In exchange for their services, the cats are to receive a place to live, food, water, and vet care.
Feral Cats.
A feral cat is a cat without an owner that lives outside. These cats have very minimal to no human contact at all. They tend to hide from humans and do not allow themselves to be touched by them. Attempts to socialize feral cats often fail or take a long time, and

Long hair has to be a challenge for both males and females.
Kind of, I mean its just a hairstyle where your hair is allowed o grow to considerable length.
Yeah but it's interesting how long lengths vary per culture

Long hair
Long hair is a hairstyle where the head hair is allowed to grow to a considerable length. Exactly what constitutes long hair can change from culture to culture, or even within cultures. For example, a woman with chin-length hair in some cultures may be said to have short hair, while a man with the same length of hair in some of the same cultures would be said to have long hair.
Males having short, cut hair are in many cultures viewed as being under society's control

. The standard dress for children in kindergarten is a red skirt and white blouse for girls, and red short trousers and a white shirt for boys. In all Thai schools, one day per week, usually Wednesday, is dedicated to scouting, when beige scout uniforms for boys and dark green guide uniforms are the rule, both wearing yellow neckerchiefs.
The hairstyle of students is also given attention by schools and the Ministry of Education. Males are not allowed to have long hair. Some prohibit even girls from having long

I am an avid stamp collector. So Many different collections to choose from.
It has been a popular hobby as long as stamps have existed. I've been collecting since I was 6.
Have you ever tried to sell any for profit?!
Unfortunately all the stamps I have are used so not very valuable past the proof of paymeny cost.
Are there in hard to find ones that you are still looking for to complete a collection?
I really want the Washington-Franklin issues since it was a huge change by having two silhouettes instead of the traditional singular.
How do you go about finding it?
If I couldn't find it online I'd probably contact a university philatelist to see if they had any leads on where to find them.
Any other tips for stamp collecting you can provide?

not as if he said, "I must collect stamps so I, Paul, can obtain pleasure". Collecting stamps is not just a means toward pleasure. He simply likes collecting stamps, therefore (indirectly) acquiring pleasure.
This paradox is often reversed to illustrate that pleasure and happiness cannot be reverse-engineered. If for example you heard that collecting stamps was very pleasurable, and began a stamp collection as a means towards this happiness, it would inevitably be in vain. To achieve happiness, you must
