    Story of my life.

    Sometimes it is the only way to get an intelligent conversation.

    What does it mean when I keep losing the arguements?

    It means it's time to change your coffee blend.

    Try it, it works.

    This morning I wanted iced tea instead of my usual coffee. So I sleepily poured the tea... into my coffee cup, 1/4 full of last night's cold coffee and creamer. It looked disgusting! Being the thrifty sort, I nuked it and added more creamer. It wasn't bad!

    Now Chohole is probably going to lambast me for adding creamer to tea.

    How do you know you're the one that's losing?

    Used to do it regularly at one time actually,  as we didn't have a fridge in our office, so coffee mate was used in both tea and coffee. (other brands are available)  

    Had a surprising result for my work mate, as she found that drinking tea without proper milk made such a difference to her health that she asked her Doc why and after tests it turned out that she was lactose intolerant.

    You don't actually lose when you argue with yourself. You just defeat an arguement. The important thing is which arguement you defeat. That will determine wether you win or lose.

    Habit carried over from when I was married.

    Besides, it's just me and the cat, and the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin' word.

    Never argue with a cat. They are way to good at it.

    One of these days, Chohole, I'm going to come up with an obscure reference that you won't catch!

    Anyone here remember Steppenwolf? Their "The Pusher", an extreme anti-hard drug song, was written by Hoyt Axton, of country music fame.

    Yep. I remember them although I liked the original Lynyrd Skynard better.

    Three Dog Night's Joy to the World ("Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine....")

    Another one penned by Hoyt Axton.

    sometimes I wish I was living alone so no one would steal my stuff or talk me to death about it.

    Again, story of my damn life. That's how boring it is at times. :)

    I frequently tell my students that talking to themselves is the best way to work through a coding problem :)

    Hoyt Axton's mom co-wrote Elvis's hit "Heartbreak Hotel". and Hoyt Axton was also the voice actor for Big Ed Bakar in the Captain Planet cartoons.

    Having literally grown up in Kalamazoo, Michigan; this is hilarious to me.

    Before this I hadn't heard the song and didn't know about the place. Getting a dose of culture. :)

    i think you stole the dialoges from a retirement home

    who of you was at woodstock or monterey festvals ?

  • ghastlycomicghastlycomic Posts: 2,531

    I was 4 years old when Woodstock was happening and I remember it vividly. A neighbour of ours who we called Uncle Ernie and lived on farm down the road was over visiting and said to me dad "Did you hear about this Woodstock thing that's happening? There's like a million kids out in some farmer's field listening to music."

    This sounded really cool to me so with 4 year old logic I ran outside to look for them expecting to see about a million (whatever that number meant, like more than 100? I dunno. Grownups use it when they mean a lot of something) kids about my age sitting in one of the fields around my house listening to music. I scanned from horizon to horizon and saw no kids in any of the farmers fields I could see, not did I hear any music. So I was bummed out because whatever farmers field it was they were hanging out with it wasn't within walking distance of the one around my house. And then later learning there was a small town called Woodstock not far from Simcoe where I grew up reinforced my childhood notion that Woodstock happened near where I lived. It wasn't until I was 10 or 11 that I found out it was something that happened in the states.
