blueschica Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 This morning at the supermarket I've been going to for about 25 years I told the manager we were moving. We said a few words and that was that. When I was using the self check-out, he came up to me and handed me a $50 gift card as a thank you for being such a good customer over the years. Wasn't that nice? :) That's pretty awesome! :ebert: It's nice to be acknowledged that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Library website advised me BBBoB is "in transit", meaning I'll be able to pick up by middle of upcoming week. Yeehaw! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The KC Chiefs Same! We had a small gathering tonight which would have been fun anyway, but my boyfriend is a lifelong Chiefs fan so the win made it perfect. Plus Mahomes is such a class act; he deserved it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great comeback in the 4th quarter. Also, I am a big Green Bay Packers fan, so I was happy to see the 49ers lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 This was on Saturday...I had my 12 year old son in the car with me, and had ATWAS playing on the stereo. Now my kids know how I am about the band, and I told them about Neil’s death, right after I had found out. My older son has a couple of songs that he can cite as favorites, but the younger one (who I’m referring to now), that’s not the case...but anyway, so he was listening to Geddy on Temples of Syrinx, and he said, “How old was he there?”, and I told him, 22...and then he said, “What kind of grown-up man sounds like that??” :P I kind of gathered that it was not his cup of tea. So then for the next couple of hours later, after we had that little exchange in the car, I heard him singing softly, out loud, just on his own- “Weee are the priests...of the temmm-ples...of Syyy-rinx...” Happens to the best of us. :) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 and then he said, “What kind of grown-up man sounds like that??” Play some Frankie Valli or The Bee Gees for him .... well, maybe you shouldn't.... :laughing guy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Slight cold, but it didn't keep me out of the gym. Since I work from home I figure it's likely that's where I picked up the virus. I do wear lifting gloves but tonight I realized I'm prone to wiping my face with my hands even with the gloves on. (I sweat more than any 5 people combined). I used to carry a towel around for that; guess I should get back in the habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a small gathering tonight which would have been fun anyway, but my boyfriend is a lifelong Chiefs fan so the win made it perfect. Plus Mahomes is such a class act; he deserved it!I have heard some stories about Mahomes and he sounds like a nice guy. I am especially happy he gave some love to Alex Smith's mentoring of him as a quarterback. Alex is a great guy and it was nice to see him recognized by Mahomes and Reid. I also heard a story of him buying dinner for a whole bunch of people in KC because they left him alone and didn't bug him for selfies and autographs. Great guy and he is a really good quarterback. I'm impressed. :clap: :) Edited February 5, 2020 by Rhyta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Despite a very depressing day, I was completely surprised and proud of our Senator Romney. I don't want to start any arguments so I am just acknowledging his courage and for once I wasn't embarrassed of our State for a change. Take the small things where we can :ebert: :D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I've been taking an indoor climbing class and last week took the class to belay. So today I did it three times (with someone watching) me and the climber lived to tell the tale, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Read a man article on how to stream the Oscars and I stumbled on Locast. All I have to do is make a $5 monthly donation and I’m all set in the L.A. area. Really don’t feel like wasting 50 bucks on Youtube, AT&T or Hulu since Sling doesn’t carry ABC. Saved 45 bucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
