So, was this from someone at WP?

Nope, just one of those random revolving display ads that my firewall software sometimes blocks and sometimes doesn't.

You're not old enough to remember Ted Mack's amateur hour, are you?

According to IMDb, the show was broadcast up until 1970 (I would have been 15 then). But either because it was never aired in Canada, or because it was aired, but at the time when we had no television set in the house, I don't remember actually watching it.

H has befriended a young Army wife who lives two doors away. She's originally from Canada (BC, I think), and she got a Care package from her family the other day. She shared with us a package of Tim Horton's coffee.

That's some good coffee!!

I may not be around as much as I'd like for a while - DarkAngel died again (it may once again rise from the ashes, but that takes some time). Right now, I'm using ArmyWife, and we're waiting to get J's permission for me to use his brand-new computer, Firehawk, but until we hear back, we're sharing the one laptop. (When his deployment ends in four months, I get the laptop he's got over there right now...)

Oh, BTW, I forgot to share - he made sergeant! The E-5 promotion list came out last weekend, and he checked, and there he was! It was a great moment, especially given the number of times his father tried to tell him he'd never get anywhere in this life. :)

Totally random topic change, folks. I was in the Health Food store, and put a bottle of Oil of Oregano capsules in my shopping cart, that cost about 10 dollars. When I got through checkout, I placed my bag in the cart, rolled it outside, and was about to take my bag and leave, when I noticed that the jar had fallen into the bottom of the cart. And had not been paid for. Without even thinking about it, I re-entered the store, got in line, explained what had happened, and got a funny look from the cashier. And from about two other customers. She finally said, "Not many people would have come back in." Somehow, I felt that I had been wrong to take the action that I had. Now, I know that I wasn't wrong, but the reactions that I got from others made me feel that I had been stupid. What what you have done?

Welcome Zonder....I also live on the Great Lakes,mine is Superior.<-----I just made up that Joke and they CLAIM that aspies have no sense of humor!! !!Actually my humor tends to be more Joseph Heller,Adam Douglas,Gunter Grass(sp?)

I am also 6 months to the day,older then you....You didn't happen to go to Duluth East High School did you?(I was the girl with the scars on her wrists,hugging the walls and reading a book while I walked to class.....ah,good times,so sad it's over)


Dont feel bad about WP addiction,even if you kicked it,you will just replace it with another obsession and this one sure beats heroin,blogging or Sudoku.

I have been in several similiaar situations and gotten the ame response...confussion with a bit of resentment.After analysizing it a bit,I figure it is ust the inconvenience it creates for the cashiers(it's not their money).I have had a more positive response with garage sellers who undercharged me...they appreciated it...it WAS their money.

To thine own self be true.

Hi all,

I feel like I'm butting in, but I am over 40 and just made my 70th post on WP because I am obsessed with this place and probably need an intervention . . . . Save me from myself!

Have a couple of questions because I'm creaky and feeling out of it. Can anyone explain the term Dino-aspie? Does it have something to do with Dino-saur? And I'm still not sure what LOL means - Lots-o-luck? Lost our lunch? Am not too good with acronyms. And I never know if AS means Asperger's Syndrome or Autistic Spectrum. Just need a little clarification.

Z


one could laugh out loud enough that one would lose one's lunch, yes.... :lol:

How about some flowers and candy?




Not anywhere even remotely close. I grow my own flowers, and the cupboard is full of food.


But is there something I could get you to show you that you are very special?

Not to distract you from the mailman, though.




not for sale, hon, sorry. thanks just the same.

the current mailman is gay, anyway.

The better you feel topic

I am glad to see you again, Hartz. I did not want to bother you in case you were resting.
You should read Gromit's post about an anal constriction idea book that is supposed to relieve diarrhea, er, depression. It is a hoot.


Actually, I did read that post, and found myself laughing. It was shortly after that, that I realized that maybe I'll survive all this stuff, somehow. :)


I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better.

Hello and welcome, Zonder and gneiss. It's always good to see new faces here. If there was an intervention available, Zonder, I would have tried it by now. Those 4,000 posts seemed to sneak up on me out of nowhere. I'm not sure if I should celebrate, or hide!



the translation to that is that lauri talks a lot. :wink:

I'd have taken it back and paid them what it was worth. It's stealing, otherwise.

That's what I thought. It isn't something I do. But I got the impression from other people that there was some kind of choice in the matter. Every time somebody steals, the prices eventually go up. Since I shop at that particular store a lot, I wouldn't want to contribute to that. And it's just one of those things where I feel like I'm being weird, when I am being my everyday self. Oddly, the cashier said that if it were her, and the item was a little cheaper, she would not have bothered to come back and pay for it!
