As someone who works retail, I’m pretty shameless when it comes to kicking people out. I do it politely and with a smile but I have no problem telling customers we’re about to close or are closed.

I first read it that way too.

That’s good to know, thanks.

Used to live in a townhouse where two doors down this old guy would always sit outside and smoke his cigars. (The neighbor in the unit between us said that he is the oldest retired Chicago Bear still living. Edit: Found out the guy’s name. John Damore.)

I worked from home at the time. Every time when it was a nice day out, not muggy, with a cool breeze, I would open up our windows and smell nothing but his cigar smoke.

I just know I would be instant friends with whoever set up that display.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that whole look is his “disguise” only for when he’s operating as the persona Dr. Disrespect.

I was one of those people and consider myself very lucky. My first puff was at 9 but I didn’t start regularly smoking until I was 14. In a third-world country where the laws, if they even existed, were hardly enforced, it was easy to buy smokes as a minor. It was normal, even.

I smoked through my teens and 20s and into my 30s. Then one day, I decided to quit because I knew it wasn’t healthy and I had seen pictures of smokers’ lungs. I didn’t experience any “jonesing” and didn’t need to replace the habit with gum or patches or anything. It might have helped that I worked from home at the time and was addicted to video games, so I was very motivated to stay at home. I turn 50 this year and haven’t smoked since.

I had completely forgotten about Ventrilo, Team Speak, and Mumble. This whole post is a blast from the past.

I don’t understand any of that, but I’m about to move into a brick house and now I’m wondering if my cell signal is going to suffer.

My eyesight went to shit from sitting at a desk and staring at a monitor all day. I wonder if my eyesight would’ve remained perfect well into adulthood without computers.

It was the “hours kneading and rolling and cooking” that gave it away for me, then the end confirmed it.

Suggestion: Get some canned refried beans. With the tortillas and cheese, you can make burritos.

Better suggestion: Get a bag of dried pinto beans and learn how to make your own beans. It’s really simple, just needs to be aimmered a long time.

I’m now rereading the original comment in my head with a Russian accent. It totally takes the edge off, actually makes it comical.

Still playing Dorfromantik. My map is so large now that it takes about a minute to load. I think my score is around 800k. I have 50+ tiles in my stack but am about to complete a bunch of flag quests so that number will shoot back up again.

I’m kind of tired of playing but also can’t stop because I’m wondering if I can beat the record.

You must not have seen my reply in that thread:

My husband and I both have been using Tempur-Pedic office chairs for about 15 years. Starting in 2004, we both worked desk jobs from home (he still does, I only recently shifted careers) and both play video games so we have used the shit out of our chairs, and they are still good. I like that the seat is wide enough so I can fold my legs up under me if I want to.

I feel like if Dr. Girlfriend had a cat, she would name it Dr. Cat.

I always thought baby powder is how you make baby for breakfast. Just add water or milk, cover, and microwave for 1 1/2 minutes.

I just read an interview of James Cameron where he says they actually cut off her hair which was down to her waist at the time. He told her:

“Your hair will grow back. Vasquez will live forever.”

And she really does. What a character.
