Arkhangel Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I just found out that a person I've seen and chatted to a fair few times recently, and who I thought was someone I very vaguely knew, is someone completely different. At no point during our several long chats did I need to say her name and so I have not been busted as being a terrible person! Hurrah! Also, I almost got hit by a psycho van driver whilst crossing a pedestrian crossing today. Squealing brakes and everything, he stopped maybe a metre from me. On the one hand, it was really scary. On the other hand, I almost got hit by a van but I didn't actually get hit by a van, and not getting hit by a van is pretty freaking awesome.

maarsen Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I got some inserts in my left shoe so that my short leg is now not so short and, finally, walking for any distance is no longer an exercise in pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A True Kaniggit Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 After having to do without for the last month, I finally have access to the forum again. If that's not awesome, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillio Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I just got an email from a former neighbour who knew me when I was a baby. He's sent me lots of stuff I'd half forgotten - including a photo of me as a baby with his dad, and of their dog, Susan, (the red setter I adored, and named my sister after) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrum Aeternum Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Someone accidentally sent a tech support email to a massive distribution list in my organization (thousands of recipients) and now for the past hour around 100 people have 'replied all' in a vain attempt to make the unwanted emails go away. Some nice unexpected comic relief for a slow Friday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyroclasticFlow Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Made some $ scrapping odds and ends from parents house after they renovated bathroom (copper/brass piping, cast iron bathtub). What was really awesome was a box my mom gave me to scrap with ALL my old Matchbox cars. Took me down memory lane :) Going to wrap up the day by driving to the beach later tonight to watch a fireworks show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all swedes are racist Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Going through my phone, deleting old photos etc, and I stumble across a video of my 7 year old nephew eating his first roll of sushi in exchange for $5. It took like 6 bites, 3 minutes and a whole glass of milk to wash it down, but he did it. Not pictured was immediately after his younger brother eating a pea sized nub of wasabi for a measly 25¢. Shrewd businessmen or no, those kids got grit. Shit was pretty damn funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 For several years my fitness level has been inexcusably dreadful (IMO) for someone my age. Five weeks ago I decided to do something about it and today I ran 5 km in 25 minutes, which was my goal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
