Dai-Mongar Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 8 minutes ago, Cyradis said: That name sounds familiar. I've looked it up at some point, but not been there. On a to-go list for some sort of special occasion with Sir Cyr. Odd about the elk. We have elk up in CO that people hunt. Sir Cyr's family in Wyoming snags an elk and/or deer each year and gets it butchered, then they pop it in their enormous freezer and distribute to family. No reason to seek exotic elk here. Certainly seemed odd, but it's totally possible and plausible that I'm misremembering one or more points of information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I don't want to be at work tonight. First of all, I left an hour early on accident, because our living room clock was never set back at daylight savings. It's an annoying little clock and difficult to change the settings. And I lost the instructions. So I got to work, realized my mistake, went home and had some apple pie. Then I went back to work. My sick little self just wants to be at home in bed. At least I got to bring some dinner with me... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilvish the Deliverer Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Greetings to all from work! Not that bad, I'm gonna sit here catching up on the forums (I basically didn't log on much all weekend) and reading one of my new books. Hope everyone had a good holiday, and that that things turn around for those who have had less than stellar ones. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unruly Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Why is it that my cat, Ed, wants to only lay on me and sleep when I'm just waking up? He hears my alarm, comes into my room, and curls up on me to fall asleep. Buy he won't do it when I'm trying to sleep or when I'm sleeping, only when I'm trying to wake up and get out of bed. And then I feel terrible when I have to make him move, because I want him to learn to cuddle like that more often. I just want him to cuddle when I actually can cuddle... My other cat, Rose, she doesn't cuddle at all. She's like my old cat in that the closest she comes to cuddling is laying down right beside your head, usually with her butt facing you. I'd just like to teach her to cuddle at all. And I'd love if they'd cuddle each other, too, but I think that's only happened a couple times. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Bedlam Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Watched Die Hard on Christmas eve. I don't think I'd seen it since 1990 or so; I had it on VHS, back in the day, and saw it many times... but Christmas Eve was the first time I'd seen it this century. It has not aged well, largely due, I think, to 9/11. In particular: McClane makes it to the roof with his stolen radio, switches to the emergency frequency, and begins calling mayday -- one of several international distress calls -- and explains that terrorists have attacked Nakatomi Plaza and are holding hostages. The response from the police is "Quit fooling around, get off the emergency frequency, this frequency is reserved for emergencies, if you have a REAL emergency, go to a phone and call 911." This response was believable in 1988. It'd be unthinkable now. While McClane argues, someone opens up on him with an automatic weapon, which is heard by the police operator. Her response is to contact a beat cop in a car and say, "Do a drive by of Nakatomi Plaza, will you? Some joker says we got terrorists over there." In 1988, this was tense and frightening. Nowadays, it's on the edge of comical. In other news: No one I ever didn't know personally ... who sent me an email with the word "gift" in the title line... ever gave me a gift. It would seems spambots don't take Christmas off, and if I had a gift for every gift in the titles of all these emails, we could do Christmas all over again, right now... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NebulousMissy Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I have to go to work today. I had one day off for Christmas. One single solitary day off. And holy BALLS it's cold. 6 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) I'm the only one working/manning the phones/email this week for the company I contract to. And I think their phone/email servers went down, because it's WAY TOO QUIET. Since they don't come back to work until Jan 2nd, if that happened, it could be a very quiet week. I'm wondering if I should call the engineer on his cel phone, or if I should feign ignorance? EDIT: Woo hoo! I just got a notification email from FB just as I posted this. Which means I can plead ignorance if something actually is wrong, because I'm getting emails. Edited December 26, 2017 by kristof65 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
