Add that to the "you can get arrested for doing stuff our parents did on a regular basis". Or for most of you, grandparents did

Child seats in cars! I don't recall ever using one. Now, hospitals won't let you leave without one, and kids are using them clear up through middle school.

Yep. They're supposed to be to the side and back of the building, away from the pumps.

The contractors on campus have problems keeping employees--lots of smokers quit rather than make the walk to light up. It's about a 1/2 mile, round trip from my building.

Heh. I quit 2.5 years ago. I'd been running almost daily for 2 years before quitting.

I'd like to say that I was able to run further, or faster, or something...but in truth, when I quit smoking my iron levels bottomed out at the same time, and I spent 6 months more winded than before! Being anemic is tough.

When I was a kid we used to go to the Detroit zoo with my cousins (about 1.5 hours each way). We packed 4 adults (all of them smoking) and 6 kids into my dad's 63 chevy impalla. There were no seatbelts, if one of us got tired we crawled onto the ledge below the back window.

I remember a friend whose family had one of those big old station wagons, with the little fold down seats in the very back...where you sat sideways. We always fought over who got to be in them!

Afternoon, folks.

G'night, folks.

Saves us from having to meet in person.


No; just figured I wouldn't get any responses.

I don't either, I just post to see myself talk.

So what's for dinner tonight. We're trying Marco's pizza for the first time.

And probably the last time. Just as greasy as Pizza Hut. Yuck.

(and yes, I know I should quit)

I got some nice recognition at work today. Recently there were a couple of compliments given to my boss.

Today I received an extra bonus check when out to lunch with my boss and head of our dept. A Thank you for all of my hard work on the project I've been working on since I started.

It's almost done. I'm scared they jinxed me. While I appreciate it, I wish they had waited until next month!

Woo-hoo! That's great. I mean, the check's nice, but sometimes it's even better to have your hard work acknowledged and appreciated.

Yep. And it came with a note from our CFO, who I don't have a lot of regular contact with, also thanking me.

I read it. Just like Jester's, I'll bet there's a lot of people that read it that don't post.

I think it belongs in WOW.

keep the monkey thread. It definitely belongs in WOW.

Love it!
