Yes, I’ve revised once. Once I put the pics in I couldn’t scroll down on my phone. 😒 I’ve added another other than if you’ll be in Orlando tomorrow as I want to switch jobs with you on your free day. 😂😂😂0 -
Are you working in Orlando tomorrow, by any chance? 😏
You must go to the Tupperware Museum and this little place that makes furniture, Carmine’s Oddity Boutique.
What goal should I set for myself today?
Since today is Monday, the most useful goal would be to work all your projects as if today is Friday, and try to finish everything today, as if it's before you're leaving on the weekend. That way, even though you have to show up the rest of the days of the week, you can goof off on those days.
I want to convert my grassy backyard into a vegetable garden. How should I start preparing for this?0 -
I should have realized you were just formulating your most excellent question and not been so quick to assume you forgot.Are you working in Orlando tomorrow, by any chance? 😏

I think today's goal should be to see how many free things you can get. I suggest going to several eating/drinking establishments and telling them it's your birthday - Starbucks for free coffee, any number of restaurants for free dessert, etc. Stop at the library and get a book - it doesn't matter if you don't have a library card; just take a book. After all - they're free. Stop at a gas station and pump some petrol. Drive away without paying. If anyone (like the police) stops you and tells you that you forgot to pay - just let them know it's your day for free things and they'll let you be on your merry way. Start making your list now... see how many free things you can get before the day is over.

No preparation necessary. Just go to the grocery store and buy the producre you'd like to plant. Once home, just plant each carrot, stalk of celery, cucumber, etc. right into the ground. Since it's going into your grass, you may need something sharp - like a pick axe. Each carrot, stalk of celery etc. will quadruple itself in small plants. That's it - your garden is on its way. You can even do it in the snow... but you'll have to wait until spring to see the results.
On an average day, how many pigeons do you think you could reasonable carry?
1 -
9,600 pigeons. It's basic math. An average work day is 8 hours long. I don't think you say you carry a pigeon for anything less than about 10 seconds, plus the time it takes to lay one load down and pick up the next, so let's call it 15 seconds per carry. Over 8 hours, that's 4 carries per minute, 240 carries per hour, or 1,920 carries over an average work day. With a bird per hand, that's 3,840 pigeons carried over an average day. Unless you count birds perched upon your shoulders and head as "carried" also, which increases the number to 9,600 pigeons on an average day for a reasonable person. Overachievers working 12-hr days or willing to hold their arms straight out to provide additional perching space can greatly exceed this number.
This coming Sunday is the Super Bowl, the last game of the NFL season. What am I going to do with my Sunday afternoons between now and the fall, when the next NFL season resumes?0 -
There are ten's of things you could do. What immediately comes to mind is that there are many other exciting sports broadcasts that you could watch, as opposed to play. For instance, televised Golf is an exciting and gripping sport that you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch. But why settle for watching some sport when you could practice one? The Olympics is always adding new "sports", so why not practice a game that might some day soon become an Olympic sport? I'm thinking of Tiddlywinks. It's not something that a lot of people play, so if you became expert at it, you'd have very little competition. That means it's quite likely the Gold Metal would be yours when it becomes an Olympic event.
Is it best to reheat pizza in the microwave, the oven, a frying pan, or some other way?0 -
I think you could convert to watching AFL - australian rules football.
You can probably get it on some streaming service in US
Runs from aprox Mid march till end of September - that's the men's season - shorter women's season is playing now so you could start with that
Will nicely take you through to your fall
If I give about 100 people a Covid jab today (true story) what damage will any leaking microchips do to me?1 -
I suggest you try reheating your pizza using a negative ion hairdryer. That is the superior way. But you cannot find these hairdryers in any hotel; you'll have to provide your own.frankwbrown wrote: »Is it best to reheat pizza in the microwave, the oven, a frying pan, or some other way?

What does it mean if one is constantly dreaming they're locked out of the house?1 -
Freud would have something to say about how this symbolism means you are secretly attracted to your great aunt twice removed, but he was something of a one-track ninny whom nobody takes seriously. Your dream will mean two very different things depending on WHERE you are when you dream. If you are at home dreaming about being locked out of the house, it likely means you are suffering from short term amnesia where you forgot about actually entering your house and mistakenly believe subconsciously that you are not at home.. If, however, you are in a random hotel room when you dream about being locked out of the house, it means you actually are not at home.
It seems the changing advice about eggs in the 80's (eat them...don't eat them...eat them...) has been replaced by changing advice about wearing masks (cloth are fine...only surgical quality will do...don't bother, all masks suck...). What do you think will be the source of the next round of constantly changing advice?1 -
I think the next round of constantly changing advice will be whether or not to wear shoes. It started with cavemen and women. Neither hunters nor gatherers needed shoes. The Industrial Revolution brought about the need for shoes. Those factory floors were greasy and no one wanted to step on metal shavings. This was followed by the '60s and the flower power, free-spirited hippies. 'Free love, no shoes' was their mantra. The 80s brought about office workers and high fashion. Not only were people wearing shoes, they were wearing shoes by designers like Manolo Blahnik and Cole Haan. Then came 2020 and the Covid shutdown. People started working from home. Not only were they not wearing shoes, they rarely got out of their pajamas. Pretty soon it will be time to go back to wearing shoes.
What's your favorite/favourite smell?

You mean other than the smell of B-S which is ripe throughout this thread?
Let us embrace the lovely potpourri of burning brain cells as individuals attempt, often unsuccessfully, to comprehend the full breadth and scope of my answers. Tis truly a gymnasium for mental linguistics that fully enhances the plethora of vocabulary available to my barely literate admirers...

Why are we so alert and not ready to sleep at bed time, yet so groggy and not wanting to awaken to our cellular alarm service we paid $30/month for?0 -
First of all, $30/month for cellular service is highway robbery. It should be 5 cents. But that's not your question.
Everyone on the planet has the exact same circadian rhythm, which is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. It used to be set correctly, with everyone wide awake and cheerful at 7am and groggy and tired at 10pm. When Y2K happened, that caused the great circadian rhythm reset, which completely reversed things, which is why you're now groggy in the morning and wide awake in the evening.
How do I stop the little boy behind me from kicking my seat during the flight? (I'm not on the plane yet; just thinking proactively.)0 -
When he boards the plane, in a low growly voice tell him you’re the creator of paw patrol or Fortnite (depending on his age) and that you’ll make it cease to exist if you feel even the lightest of movement on the back of your seat.
I’ve woken on the wrong side of the bed and am feeling grumpy (thanks Y2K reset!! 😤). How does a should one turn their mood around?0 -
Coffee is the answer to obliterate all groggy or grumpy feelings, but the brewed drink is not always sufficient. So keep a bag of espresso beans handy, and you can crunch on these like peanuts out of the can any time you feel a bit somnolent or cranky. Keep eating until you feel like Ethel Merman ready to burst out into a chorus of "Everything's Coming up Roses".
Netflix is raising its monthly rates again. Even though IMO it's still a bargain compared to cable or many other options, I don't want them to take my business for granted. How should I let them know that they need to treat me as a valued customer, while avoiding a lifetime ban or having the US Marshals Service come knocking on my door?0 -
You didn't make the mistake of actually using your REAL address when you signed up for the service, did you? Don't you know you're supposed to use the address of a shopping mall in the next city over? But that's a discussion for another time...
Right now, Netflix believes they can treat you however they want, because you are constantly coming back to them like little orphan Oliver begging, "please, sir, can I have some more?" Stand up and show them who the real boss is! Next time you are getting ready to Netflix and chill, instead turn off the television and turn on the fireplace. Netflix won't know what just happened when they detect the loss of connection to your residence, probably believe at first there was a power outage. But if you repeat the pattern the next night, and the next night, eventually Netflix will start to wonder where you went, why you aren't logging into their service any more. Eventually THEY will come crawling to YOU, begging you begin watching again. It's the method of passive aggression, and it's been effective for centuries. Note this also works for other services which you currently indulge, such as the internet (read a book), the electric company (light a candle), and your wife (spend time with the kids instead). In each case, the ignored party will soon be begging for your attention once again, at which point you have the power to dictate the circumstances...time, price, etc.
How come it's easier to remember something if it's associated with either music or food? And if this is the case, how come schools don't include constant supplies of music and snacks to their students?0 -
It most definitely is the case. Music is food for the soul, and evolutionarily it has been advantageous, i.e. necessary, to require food to remember things. That is the short answer, and it is wrong until science proves it right.

🤣🤣🤣 Wasn’t I getting my tired rear end out of bed only to find the coffee maker is indisposed at the moment?? 😭
The reason the school system doesn’t provide snacks and music with their student’s lessons is that they really don’t want the kids to learn! Not retaining everything means they are more likely to go to college or university 💵💵💵
How can I show my displeasure to the person who decided to descale my coffee maker (a 30-60 minute process) right when I got up? 😡0 -
It depends how much you care about this person on a normal (non- coffee pot descaling) day. If you genuinely like him (going out on a limb here and assuming the offender is male), and want to continue in this relationship, simply cover him in sticky notes reminding him that all future coffee pot descaling must happen after 6pm.If you do not care to continue in this relationship, all bets are off. (And none of us will turn you in.)
Would it bother you to discover someone had died in the hotel room you are currently staying in?0 -
As someone who has worked in hotels for decades, I’m not sure you’d want me to answer that question… 😂 It’d only bother me if I found the body in the box spring, I think 🤔
Besides a corpse in a room, what would be the worst thing to find in a hotel room?0 -
Wouldn't it be awful to find a treasure chest full of gold coins, jewelry and various precious artifacts in your hotel room? First of all, how would you get it back home? Then, on the off-chance that you decide to donate some of those treasures to a museum, you'd have to deal with respresentatives from all over - everyone scrambling to get some of your loot. I mean - who wants all that responsibility?
What's the best perk of your current job? (Remember, you're in the wrong answers thread.)
0 -
Working through my lunch breaks and the unpaid overtime. It’s really a gift they keep giving me because they adore me so. 🥰
Returning to Frank’s question earlier…what will be the next great thing?0 -
Unsliced bread will be the next best thing. Who really wants those uniformly cut slices of bread? It's more adventourous to slice your own - especially if you don't have a knife. Just use whatever is handy: your car keys, your belt, an ink pen... the choices are endless.
What part of elementary school do you wish you could incorporate into your adult life? (Don't say naptime. We all know that's the universally accepted answer.)

It certainly wouldn't be recess, where you get a break in your studies to go outside and have fun! Can you imagine how that would disrupt your work day? Given how much I enjoyed this activity, and given that I was not extremely shy as a child and suffered from writer's block, I would have to say book reports, spoken in front of the whole class.
What adult activity do you wish you could have enjoyed as a child? 🤣

Eating my spinach. Then I could have looked like Popeye and given that playground bully a piece of my mind and lived to tell the tale.
How come cars get better gas mileage on the highway than they do driving in town?0 -
Paying bills! I loved to imagine how fun it would be to break my piggy bank with a hammer and open a checking account so I could pay the heat bill. Did anyone else's dad used to remind them that, "We're not heating the outside"?frankwbrown wrote: »What adult activity do you wish you could have enjoyed as a child? 🤣
Ugh... I got distracted by work (the nerve of some clients) 🤣 and didn't get to post in time.
Without going into great detail, may I just say there are more Taco Bell restaurants on the highway than in town - which is why cars everything get better gas mileage on the highway.How come cars get better gas mileage on the highway than they do driving in town?
🙋♀️(Me here - just trying to live up to Mork's immature characterization...) 🤣
What's your favorite type of reality program?0 -
Sadly, the current crop of reality programs can't hold a candle to Andy Warhol's films of the 1960's, like Sleep (5 hours 20 minutes of a person sleeping) and Empire (8 hours of slowed down footage of the Empire State Building). Where is the creativity these days? For gripping reality shows, I watch streaming videos of things like fish bowls, fire places, eagle nest cameras, etc.
What are Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, and Kanye (Ye) West up to, and why should I care? 🤣0 -
They all got together and opened a Smoothie shop in your area. And we know how much you love a good smoothie. It comes complete with an open mic comedy night, paparazzi and plenty of attitude.
What's a good excuse when you're running late?
0 -
The dog ate your homework immediately came to mind. It’ll confuse them because A. You don’t have homework. B. you aren’t travelling with a dog. Trust me, they’ll just look at you funny and then move on.
Any other excuses for being late, in case mine isn’t to cmsienk’s liking (and if @cmsienk is next…what did you use)?0 -
I have never been late for a single thing in my life, I have no idea what you are talking about. In fact, until you asked your question, I did not know it was even possible for anybody to be late. Note that being a second poster due to internet lag is NOT being late, it is being precisely on time while somebody else managed to be early, which is applause-worthy. But seriously, were you actually late for something? Do the rest of us need to hold an intervention for you? Or a support group with cookies while you bare your soul and beg forgiveness of the Space Time Cooperative Annex? I love me some soft peanut butter cookies, pulled out of the oven at precisely the right time, not too early for undercooked batter, and heaven forbid not too late. I mean, this world would fall apart if people were ever actually late for anything!
Speaking of falling apart, my formerly perfect vision is starting to be less perfect, especially anything super close. Is there something I can do to be able to see perfectly again?0 -
Just say that the tread on your left foot's running shoe blew, and you had to do a trail-side repair.
Or that your dog ate your running shoe. Either of these excuses will work.
How many pounds of fish and chips should one have at a fish fry celebration, keeping in mind that one needs to reserve room for cake and ice cream?0
