For some reason the poisoned Tylenol incident really caught my attention as a four-year-old.

....I’m pretty sure there was, because that rings a bell for me, but I can’t find anything. This is going to bug me now so I hope someone else remembers.

During the field test I found Omastars just randomly out on the street, fwiw.

So it’s The Sam Vimes “Boots” Theory of Economic Injustice.

I’ve been playing Ingress almost since the beginning and, while it does drain the battery, it’s nowhere near what Pokemon Go does. When I was in the Go trial, I could basically watch the percentage number on my battery tick down at a steady rate. Ingress I can play for a couple hours without issue - people carry spare…

I once was on a ride-along with the city fire marshal when he responded to a potential bomb - he used his marked SUV to help a fire engine block off a street, which was already teeming with other fire engines and ambulances and police cars, all with lights brightly flashing. It was very very obvious that the street…

I used to be terrified of having to get in front of people - whenever I had to give a presentation in class I would be on the verge of throwing up and always sounded like I was about to cry because I was shaking so hard. Then I got into cosplay, have since won performance awards in masquerades at a couple of…

I just hit my three-year anniversary of my LASIK surgery and honestly, my only regret is that I didn’t get it done sooner. I had issues with light sensitivity for about a month after (and I work in software testing, so ended up wearing sunglasses at work, much to the amusement of my co-workers) and had to keep eye…

I have to wear over-the-ear headphones instead of earbuds because then people can tell I’m wearing them. I’ve had too many people get annoyed with me because they didn’t see the earbuds and started talking to me and I didn’t hear.

....well now I finally know why MetLife tried to suddenly increase my rate from $50/month to $100/month after I’d been with them for five years. My new insurance company appreciated it, though.

At one point I was working out regularly, eating well, had 23% body fat percentage (female, btw), and my BMI was in the “overweight” category. That was when I realized BMI is a load of crap and I’ve resented it ever since.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion Donald Trump!

I’ve heard this complaint several times but personally have yet to see anyone slowing down to read the signs...

Speaking as a former 911 dispatcher, knowing where you are is a very very very important thing. A lot of callers would get hung up on the fact that they didn’t know the exact address, but “in front of the McDonald’s on Main Street” or “about half a mile north of the I-215 onramp” are perfectly valid responses. Just…

Went to Gamestop. Picked up the game I wanted. Went to the counter. Employee looked at the box, then at me, and asked if I was sure my boyfriend wanted that game. Never went back to Gamestop.

And way back when Crisis Core was released, every single game store in the area was sold out. I stopped at Toys R Us on the off…
