Memo to self:

do not go out to "run a few 'quick' errands" when school is letting out, especially if you are driving a manual transmission.....unless you really like stopping every half block for several miles.


When did this business of dropping each kid off in front of his/her house start, anyway? When my kids were in school, everyone would gather at a corner and get picked up in batches, and then dropped off again at the same corner in batches.

School buses have dropped off special needs children and farm children in front of their houses around here for as long as I can remember. Suburban neighborhoods like where I live now and where I was raised, the average kids were all picked up at street corners, usually a handful of kids at each stop. My childhood street was littered with cul de sacs, so at the base of each cul de sac would be a bus stop, which made for a very slow stretch of road.

We always were dropped off at the end of the driveway, but then, there weren't any other houses with kids getting on the bus for a mile in either direction.

And when you were a kid, you had to walk to school uphill both ways through three feet of snow in June... :rolleyes:

Some lady at work, from the group that sits next to me and my coworker, decided it was a good idea to wear about 10 of those annoying Christmas bells (Reindeer bells?). She walks around the office nonstop, and all you can hear anywhere in the office is this god-awful annoying bell jingling. Why do people think this kind of stupidity is a good idea?

I rarely use hand sanitizer, but it's because I feel it unnecessarily contributes to bacterial evolution, not because I think it makes me absorb more of the eeeeeeevil BPA.

Also, the very sub-header of the website should clue you into this quackery, "HOLISTIC...HEALTH PSYCHIATRY". *** is that, exactly?

FYP. All these things and multiple versions via email most of which assure you there is a conspiracy by the medical establishment to keep you in the dark, not order life saving tests to save money (yep, dead people make the medical establishment a lot more money than live ones), Rationing!!1!!1!!1! of medicines, medical tests, etc is coming (ha, like it isn't already here) all grind my gears.

So you're saying that the medical community doesn't have secret herbs that keep them alive forever? :p

Because if they did, they'd totally keep it to themselves and not sell it at a massive profit by Rx only

They secretly relocate so when they live forever no one figures it out (don't tell...)

Every time I try to post it won't let me leave the page. It sends me to advanced mode and then shows only one post when it goes back to the page. Now it is showing 2. Time to try a new technique....

Edit- I guess I can only post from advanced mode :mad: It also right justifies everything I look at. Weird...

The site went through an update recently. There have been small changes made to my browsing experience here also, but not to the extent that you're seeing.
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

hey, thanks for coming in to the office when you're sick right before Christmas, person who is hacking nonstop. you're a true American hero.
 
Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth

I somehow managed to avoid the plague going around the office right now. Thankfully I'm done for the year. Talk about dodging a bullet. This one was bad news.
