Ummm...American here...when Japanese cars invaded the US in the 1970s, they said we were going to have to convert to metric. Almost 40 years later, they're still teaching kids a little bit about the metric system in school, most of which is promptly forgotten because that's about the only place we use the metric system. Unless you're a mechanic who works on foreign cars.
*cue half serious face* I have a bio degree and we certainly used metric units in all of science and math courses. I don't do it personally, but I know that if you build things atleast a rudimentary knowledge of metric units is all but essential.But yes, unless there's an upheaval in the school system, there's no way we'd convert to metric. We'd need to start now and maybe we'd see it commonplace in 40-50 years.
Hey Loopy! I thought your country used the metric system. You still use inches to measure appendages?

Europe uses the metric system here in the UK we kinda still use inches and lbs and oz; don't get me wrong the EU are always banging on about it but we Brits can be a touch stubborn about sh!t like that... My nightmare is having my phone stolen my whole life is on that thing! *mumbles* when was the last time I synced?..... I've learnt to make sure to shut down any apps I'm not using and that seems to preserve my battery life quite well....I'm holding out to see what the new iPhone looks like (due sometime in the next few months) then if it doesn't have a large enough screen I'll jump onto a Samsung too....BTW talking about 'someone special' and p0rn stars how is MFHD, Booked?
I read and retained 9.5'; everything else you wrote was simply noise.......
We use the english system here so lbs, feet and inches are more commonly used. The doctors/hospitals insist on using kgs for weight though, which sucks. Good thing there are conversion apps.
I am laughing so hard....I swear to all that's exactly what I wanted to write because after the 9.5" the rest was Greek.
Pls. do not hesitate to share more of your experience here
I know what you mean as when I had the kids they weighed them in kgs and I had to convert it on my phone to find out their weight. While I was doing this my daughter was pissing herself laughing at me.
Booked you are too kind! I will share something which may not occur to anyone not dating a PA.....make sure you're a Hollywood girl, Brazillians or anything more than that can get caught and hurt like hell! It odd, now that I've thought about it I use a mixture. I'll say "120gms of X" in a supermarket but also "he's 6'2" " 8st 5lb" even in a farmers market I'd say "I'll have a Ilb of cherries", so it seems I only use metric in a supermarket? Odd..
I remember my friend telling me that when I first went with an apadravya - thank god I hate any type of bodily hair, so I was prepared. Thinking of it I do use metric when it comes to buying milk as I always tell the hubby or whoever how many litres I want.
Lol, the hubby has just come home from work early so he's been reading over my shoulder what I've been looking at on here and as soon as he saw my user name and 9.5" he was like "why would you tell them that info?" I'm like "Why wouldn't I?!?"

If my husband had 9.5", you bet i will find ways to insert that in normal everyday conversations! Be proud!!! I could even go so far as walking slowly or awkwardly so that when they ask me "are you ok? What happened to you?" I could reply, "oh, i'm fine. This always happens after i've had some good loving with my incredibly hung husband." Always did believe in "if you've got it, flaunt it."
Sounds like you learnt the painful way, hun. I think I stopped having any hair there when I was about 14 as I never liked it. At least I haven't taken my hair-phobia as far as my friend Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

oopsie! I wanted to share a cute pic with Loopy but couldn´t find the thread about cute animals...and I found this...WTH is this about??NowI´ll have to convert 9.5,look, share...and read 132 pages of wonderful scientific facts
Errr? That area is done automatically with a Hollywood wax, or at least it is in very salon I've ever frequented....Now I'm so used to it That I always get it waxed regardless of what's going on in front.....It's also the least painful area!
Is your friend a p0rn star? I've always wondered how much waxing they do as the camera is pretty close to that area. They must shave often so that no unwanted hairs/stubble will be seen. With most tvs being in HD, things may look too real and not so nice when focused up close so prettyfying that is a must in the p0rn businesss
