What's messing with your Groove?

[RandBlade]

He was a good choice, even though I'm fully expecting the movies to have little to do with the actual story (especially the 2nd one), he would have insured they were visually appealing.

Now he is gone.

I too misread the post, I thought you were saying that the one saving grace is that Del Toro won't be directing it.

EDIT: Didn't realise that was a rather old post. Tim that citation sucks, I hope the bus behind you got fined too then because if you're causing an obstruction, he clearly is too. Clearly he can't have had his exit clear as he's behind you.

Went to pick up swim trunks for my son. He's outgrown old ones and the school pool party is tomorrow.

A kid was talking to the dept store salesman (nice older guy helping him find the right size of suit). I heard him say, "I've got a problem Mr. B...tomorrow is the swim party. I only have $10 to buy a suit, the Speedo on sale is $15, but if I don't buy a suit I can't swim...."

The man reached in his pocket and gave him 5 bucks. I'm pretty sure they didn't see me, or know I overheard.

A bit later somehow we all ended up chatting about suit sizes and "what's cool", as he went in and out of the changing room and I asked the salesman for help. It turns out the boy knows my son. They sit next to each other in a class. He smiled real big and said I look like him, and he liked what I picked out. They're about the same size and he offered to show me how the waist fit.

Later I saw him in the parking lot, he had ridden his bike there alone, thru some serious traffic. Not really "groove messing", but I felt a bit sorry for the kid at the same time I felt my son is fortunate, and a bit spoiled. They're supposed to buy lunch at the snack bar, for some reason packed lunches aren't allowed. It's a private pool and the food is pricey. I hope he has the money for lunch....

Well shit!! The Friend is now headed to Nashville to pick up a load of stage equipment for some act playing Saturday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey! And who ever the production-equipment rental company is wants him to continue on with the tour. I should know in a couple hours who the act is so I can find out where the hell he is going to be this summer...should he decide to take that job. It does pay more than RPM, but I want him to be able to come home once in a while.

Day before my holiday, I'm sent out to one our client's site 125 miles away from home. I was told I was needed to support their monthly billing run.

It's 10:30 and there's only 5 people in the whole office (out of about 40) and it looks like nob all is going to happen to day.

Mad.

My son has asked me to stop talking in public to "anyone who looks his age". Unless he's with me. I told him the story of the swim suit, kinda like hey, I ran into a classmate of yours at the store! (I left out the part about the boy not having money to buy the suit.) His reaction?



It's official, he's a teenager. And he's embarrassed by his mother.

Embrace it and you will own it.

It's raining...again! FFS, if I wanted to live where it fucking rains almost every damned day, I would move to Washington state or Oregon!

And to the ongoing saga of The Friend's "quick" trip back east. Hell, he didn't have to go to Atlantic City after all...he has to be in Saratoga Springs, NY Sunday night. Then he goes to Scranton, PA. There is no mention of where he goes after that!

This week it happened twice to me that somebody at a bar thought I was 'about 35'. Which is really funny because for both of these guys that made me younger than the age group they supposedly are interesed in. Which would be 45+ which is what I really am.

Should I start showing my ID to prove that I am not 'too young' or something?

[Catgrrl]

Being thought of as young is a bad thing?

Can't sleep these days...I have a wicked sinus cold going, and my throat hurts. So I'm up every hour coughing.

I wasn't sure either in which thread this should go either

I got carded when I was buying cigs for the missus earlier today, I must've looked at the poor cashier pretty funny because she was very apologetic

[Catgrrl]

I always thank the bartenders /waiters when they ID me for alcohol.

[Nessus]

I was just very confused

Long term alcohol abuse does not treat one's visage kindly

[Catgrrl]

I know in some stores around here, they have a policy that they have to card people for cigarettes if they look under 40. Depending on the establishment, alcohol works that way too.
When I briefly worked at a beer cart for a concert venue, I had to ask for ID regardless of age. If the ID was expired, no alcohol for that person.

[Nessus]

I think she was just on her first week/otherwise very eager

[oldmunchkin]

Unfortunately, The Friend is in upstate NY! Damn, this would have been a great day for a road trip! Oh well, life goes on, I guess!

[Knux897]

I was just watching tv in bed and out of nowhere I giant roach falls onto my face...

[Catgrrl]

Thanks, Knux, I just barfed a little in my mouth. I fucking hate roaches.

[Knux897]

One of the big ones too

Not enough posters on a Saturday night.

That's why I made the Dead thread. Bump it when bored.

[Timbuk2]

I fucking hate roaches.

One of the big ones too

Amen. Hate them with a vengeance. They really freak me out.

What I can't even contemplate is the record attempts to get in the Guinness book for cockroach eating. The rules state that you have to eat the large Madagascan hissing variety.



Fucking big and fucking crunchy and it fucking hisses at you too.

I'd run a fucking mile if I saw one. Or smack it with a massive spade.

[Catgrrl]

Seriously, I'm gonna barf.

I think anyone who is upsetting Kittycat at this point in her pregnancy should instantly receive a permaban.

Assholes.

[Nessus]

If she were that concerned about her pregnancy, she could just quit visiting for the duration

[Catgrrl]

Sorry, there's just something about roaches that grosses me out. I think it is partially the fact that smashing them with a huge trashcan doesn't always kill them. I think the only thing I've been able to use to kill them with one strike is a 15-lb bowling ball.


I'm also very bored since at this point I'm just waiting for baby to come. today is technically due date and I'm thinking that it's not happening today.
So, my lurking has been upped considerably.

Toy Story is 15 years old. Jurassic Park is 17 years old. Back to the Future is 25.
I still have to tell myself sometimes I'm not 18. Time stopped moving after high school, then I get reminded in the oddest ways, as with Buster here.

[littlelolligagged]

Cuter in 1999.

[Catgrrl]

Man, I was 15 when Toy Story came out. I remember I went on a date to see the first one.

Actually watched the first one last night on TV, it still looks good for a 15yr old CG movie. I'll be buying all three on BluRay whenever they decide to release a triple pack later this year.
