So it happened to you, too?

Overpriced and loaded w/tourist merchandise. 

Chicks won’t know the difference, I swear.

I wonder when Jeopardy! became syndicated and stopped airing on NBC along w/Concentration.

I don’t think Memorial Day in Canada is the same day as in the USA or even if Canada has a Memorial Day. 

The odds of your luggage getting lost or delayed are minimal. People who complain about it or fret that their luggage will disappear are individuals who fly only on occasion and then usually at the peak of a holiday season like Thanksgiving. It’s such an alien concept for them to fly because they do it so infrequently…

If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying. 

I moved to NYC straight out of college (a large, non descript Big 10 school) in 1980 and never looked back. NYC was a lot different then. Cheap (sorta) and the infrastructure was suspect and I loved every minute of it. Except the time when some asshole sneaked into my apartment while I was sleeping, accidently woke me…

There was a version of Windows that allowed you to modify the cursor, the hourglass and few other things. Windows XP? I can’t remember, but one of the icons you could select was a male or female dinosaur.

calculator and notepad. I use them often, they come in handy. The rest? Meh. Never used them.

Told my GF that she resembled a porn star (her face, hair, mouth and especially the eyes). I was ready for the backlash, but she ended up looking up the individual on pornhub and later said to me, “yeah, I guess I sorta look like her.” And then we had a pretty intense session, with her initiating it - I was shocked -…

Getting up early is a fine routine - if - you’re addressing a list of “to-do” for the day and getting yourself organized prior to the onslaught of your co-workers coming into the office. It does give your peace of mind knowing what’s coming and being prepared for any issues that may pop up during the day. If you…

A fool and their money are soon parted. 

“everything being discussed leads to actionable items” - what a concept. I go to a weekly cross-departmental meeting. No agenda. No notes. No action items. No nothing. It’s just a blab fest of people running down their to-do list from the past week.  

I guess soap operas are a thing of the past?

Stan means understand. as in I understand what you are telling me.

The lottery is a regressive tax. That’s why there is no national lottery, only state lotteries. Clinton was pressed for a national lottery, but he balked. But, hey, if you get a thrill out of buying a ticket or tickets, and it’s only cutting into a little of your disposal income, then go nuts.

“stop teasing your brother!” or “eat your vegetables” - those are the two big ones, but there’s plenty more.

Exercise is critical to weight loss, but abs are built in the kitchen. Changing a diet to reduce/eliminate refined sugar and minimize carbs can help reduce and minimize body fat. Building up muscle and gaining the strength to do pull ups and chin ups and lifting is great but all that effort can get lost under a layer…

Getting on the Lake Shore Limited from Detroit is a killer. That train leaves Chicago around dinner time - 6:30p and takes hours to go across Indiana and Ohio. So by the time it arrives in Toledo it’s past midnight - if it’s on time. Then, you had to connect with a southbound train who’s schedule doesn’t align with…
