I could get away with it but I drive a wheelchair =)

I lucked out and an exroomie who worked at an aquarium got me a couple penguin transport cages from when they got some new penguins from a different aquarium. They are both about 4 feet by 2.5 feet by 3 feet, and each narrow end is hinged and serves as a door. Adding a corner cat hammock to each one, we can put a…

I gave up listening to people back when I was a GM for Everquest 1 before WoW went live ... being able to look at things from behind [as it were] I developed my own play style, and had a blast [combat cleric, if you must know. And I didn't get any other GMs to help me cheat on my play server either.] I have long…

In 1990 we had to take the standard Wasserman blood test before getting the license. Didn't bother me, I knew we could pass it, and it was free [Ct board of Health or whatever it was called paid for it.]

I did back when I drove a 74 TVR Vixen *=) Not so much when I was in a 58 Nash Metropolitan =(

I learned to drive on a stick, my dad figured if I could drive a stick I could drive anything. He taught me 4 on the floor, 5 on the floor and 3 on the column. Later, I got a job working for a truck lease/rental place and now I can handle anything up to a 30 foot stakebody. Made it handy when we moved - my husband…

I had an annoying roomie who liked to dip wet spoons into my bottles of herbs and spices ... so I got 2 hanging spice racks, and painted new labels on all of them. So my spice rack was labeled with the scientific name of the plant and then hung in alphabetical order of their english common use name =)

Back when I was 14, I corsetted the fuck out of myself and got into one of my great grandmother's ball gowns for a Halloween part and was down to 17 inches, but I started from 23 inches. Before the growth spurt hit, I was 5'4, and something like 30 - 23-32. I ended up 5'7, and an hourglassy 36-24-38. Now, with the…

Jeez, I got a 'so the divorce is final tomorrow, I can run the chit today, and I have day after duty tomorrow and my chief will spring me right after the morning change over, we can go and get the blood test and license and figure out the first legal day we can get hitched...' from my then Navy husband. Turns out that…

Eh, seen bigger. Good muscle definition though.

Hm, I was wondering why the last batch of fries I got were limp and salty ... =)

Pacsafe bag, special pocket inside to protect RFID cards from being read, mesh interior to prevent bottom slashing, cable in the straps to prevent slash and grabs. I wear it slung in front so it doesn't interfere with crutches on good body days, and slung around back and used as a back rest on bad body days when I am…

You know the parody of 300, that pudgy guy? That is who he ended up getting ...

Forcibly retired now, but that was about what I did - I telecommuted as a forensic accountant. Normal day was log in at 8 am, an hour lunch in the middle, technically log out at 7 or so, and have emails going on in the background until bed. Salary not wage so theoretically I only was to work 8 hours a day, but…

You do 'world' MMORPGs or group shoot'em's [Doom, Cod, you know - you and your buds vs those 5 buds over there shooting at each other, or clearing the alien menace from that refinery over there]? There is a fairly big difference between the two.

Understandable, I quit EVE Online after Vile Rat died - it hurt too much to not have him sending me silly chats and inviting me to hit the test server to spar.

I am pointing out that Mr & Mrs McJ0bScum can afford to take little Scumlet on a 3 day Disney cruise with their income tax refund, or heaven forbid on their 24% CapitalOne Visa card, you do not have to be wealthy to do so - so your saying they are wealthy enough to simply up stakes and move [or they have the type of…

Well, my father could well have pulled us out of school for an around the world trip, however his job would not have moved if he had decided we needed to live in Florida instead of NY, and honestly, it really is not as easy to pull up stakes as you make it sound. Once you get to a certain age, it becomes more…

Well, lets see, shall we? I pay my taxes. I attend town meetings when the town budget is on the schedule. I research the maters. I *vote*. All this, and I literally have no dog in this fight, no kids. I would run for office if my physical condition didn't prevent me. Until my physical condition stopped me I…

Hm, compared to the vast majority of apparently knuckle dragging, mouth breathing Americans who barely speak English, being able to communicate in 2 foreign languages, yes I *am* special. If the school systems keep sliding the way they have since I went to school in the 1960s and 70s, we will turn into Idiocracy where…
