I don't know. I've lived and worked in both rural and urban settings, and I find that backwards, or if I may be bold, stupid, is spread pretty evenly.

*sigh* Yes, ghostie, I am a boomer. That's how I was able to watch first run TOS episodes (when I was allowed to stay up)

That's about right for the postal service...

And here I thought that you'd forgotten that you'd been abducted.

No. My grandmother was a real stickler for etiquette, and she beat it into us with a wooden spoon (which should NEVER be used for anything other than stirring or beating).

Why did you ask the same question in two places? It's just us, ghostie, and nobody's going to answer differently because it's in a different folder. And no, my manners irl are exquisite. Aliens beat a path to my door and abduct me so that I can teach them the difference between a soup spoon, a teaspoon, and a salad fork.

I don't know - that was back when I was working 60 hrs a week between two jobs, so I wasn't on that much.

After the first time, she left me alone. I got the feeling that it was a welcome to rants thing, and if you came back afterwards, you were considered worthy.

So what was the outcome of the experiment?

Remember her? I still have the scars from the welcome to rants curbstomping.

Destroy All Monsters It was on Svenghooli a few weeks ago, and it's always been one of my favorites.

Dude, there's a reason I went into healthcare instead of retail.

Makes me a little carsick.

November 2004

I don't remember her main, but she had an alt named Macjiggers. She used to show up in Rants occasionally, but I tried to respect her space, so I don't know where she usually posted.

Don't worry, it gets worse - she also had an account on the old asmb. I think we were one of two mother/daughter pairs posting at the time.

Shut up. I have a child your age.

No, it's FB, short for Fierce Bad, and if she was a pooka, she could buy her own drinks. As it stands, she's just an ill -tempered rabbit, and I'm trying to placate her.

Dude, I'll be 62 in 4 months. How do you think I feel?

Why do children, without fail, have to get up in the middle of supper to go take a crap?

Two glasses of dandelion wine, please. One for me and one for the rabbit.

Eat some yogurt if they gave you an antibiotic for that sinus infection - your intestinal flora may be out of whack.

A Karen dude. You know how I get when people bring up Karens.

I was always fond of the whole Becky thing; every Becky I've ever known was incredibly unpleasant. All the Karen I've ever met were very pleasant and polite; even the guy who coughed TB in my face apologized after he did it. Granted, as patients, they were on the whole frustrating to deal with due to the language barrier and cultural issues with western medicine and compliance, but damn, they were always so nice about it.
