Lawnmower Boy Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Dipping his toe in the job market, eh? I wish more kids would do that. If only they would apply so that we can hire them and then ignore them, and not give them any shifts for a month and then call them in for four hours on a Saturday night on an hour's notice. I think the problem is that the younger generation lacks the work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Got the first of the Christmas presents for friends today. Met and got photographed with Edward James Olmos, Michael Masden, Juliet Landau and Terri Farrell. Also got their autographs plus those of Guy Siner and Peter Miles (from Genesis of the Daleks), David Collings (various Dr Who stories, Sapphire and Steel, Blakes 7), Summer Glau, Michael Biehn and John Hurt.

death tribble Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 After all the likes that I have given Cygnia for the cute animals she posts I finally got one back from her for suggesting that I could not do what makes me happy in the Funny Pics thread.

I think the problem is that the younger generation lacks the work ethic. He survived his first day at the marine refrigeration outfit. (These guys make and service the machinery that holds the catch cold on fishing and processing boats.) He isn't used to eight-hour days (since he hasn't done them before) and having his first one on one of Seattle's rare 90-degree days ups the difficulty, I suppose.

Cancer Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cardamom-raisin buns from the local Danish bakery. (I know, to be genuine they ought to be currants not raisins. Hush.) A smell and taste I hadn't experienced in three or four decades, and olfactory stimuli are tied strongly into the memory system. Happier place, happier times.

Cancer Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 August is a great time. Here in the 2d half of summer the local farms have their peppers, tomatillos, and tomatoes turn ripe, and they show up at the farmers' markets and vegetable stands. I get several pounds of all of those, whirl 'em in the food processor, and voila, fresh salsa as I like it in copious delicious quantities.

death tribble Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Yesterday was Gillian Anderson's birthday. Well it makes me happy. Saw friends in Reading yesterday and got my first taste of D+D 5th Edition. Also played a new card game where you have to get to 1000 points exactly (forgot name), Apples to Apples (why did somone think I would find an Electric Chair or Giant Squid shocking ?) and Judge Dredd (No-one went to the hospital). tkdguy and Bazza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
