Aw jeez. Now I want to hit YouTube and watch reruns of “Beyond Belief:Fact or Fiction.”

I’ve watched all of those “When a Stranger Calls” movies so might as well get into something else.

I think I was sick for the 6x7, 6x8, 7x8 timestable . It’s a complete deadzone in my brain.

eg = Example (egg-sample)

ie = In Other Words (both start with i)

Yet, I have to Google it every time.

I'm going to run a marathon, ie: 26.2 kms

I'm going to run a marathon, eg: Boston, New York, Bluenose.
