LOL! A basic lesson in life... never suck on a sprinkler!
Or - pull a cord. That was my stupid baby trick. I crawled to the edge of a table, saw this cool cord coming off it, and yanked, looking up to see what would happen. The lamp smashed into my face, of course! Broke a tooth and I still have a scar on my lip. I also used to to take bites out of wine glasses, but I never cut myself. It's a skill.
So, these imponderables threads still grow too fast to keep up with. Yikes!

Or never eating out (let it go...) after being in the restaurant biz. Right RMIG? Oddly, this seems to be chain specific, like hating pediatricians but being okay with podiatrists. I know the same st happens at MickeyD's that does at TacoHell, but if you never worked at one it's somehow okay not to think about the backroom...

JQ, I was a supervisor for a caterer/restaurant for about two years...and I also saw the movie Waiting as a documentary...and I still eat out. But I am also a phenomenal tipper and one of the easiest-to-please customers these people have ever known.
I am like Tristan in this, even if you are a sub-par server, you still get 15%. Good service gets anywhere up to 50, depending on the total cost of the meal and the overall experience. I am also the easiest person in the world to wait on, unlike some servers I know who expect special treatment because they are actually being waited on for once. JQ, I do know what goes on in kitchens, and I am positive that it is not chain-specific, more like single restaurant specific. I also viewed 'Waiting' as a somewhat documentary, as most of the stereotypes portrayed in that movie I have seen come true (which can be scary if you think about it). To quote Monty: "Don't
with people who handle your food." 
Also, I recommend reading Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation (they made a movie out of it, Luis Guzman [ Raddimus from Waiting ] is in it). You will not want to eat McDonald's, or any fast food really, ever again.

Super-dedicated staff that won't miss a day's work just because of cold, flu or diphtheria, exactly how old is the deep frier grease? it's not spoiled just scrape off the moldy part...are we there yet.
Pack sammies, MsG, pack sammies...
I heartily second this. Though I try to be mindful of it myownself, I don't always remember, and I know several folks who don't bother washing their hands at all. *shudder*

Funny you should mention that, as the lass I am going to visit has quite a time of it when she is driving, often to my amusement.

Yes they do sometimes, but all the same it is wonderful to have you (back?) among us. BTW, I have some more beer, Irish Red Ale. Let me know if you are interested. I think I still have your address around somewhere.

A friend of mine was brewing beer last weekend - an IPA. I helped him get it started but couldn't stay to the finish. Hopefully I'll get to sample the finished product though! I need to try my own hand at a beer.

Hey guys, how're you all doing today?
Uh, getting attacked by inanimate objects? Well once it was dark in my room, so when I was heading towards my bed I tripped over a suitcase and banged my knee on my bed...and then I couldn't walk properly for days....But I am really clumsy, so stuff like that isn't very uncommon for me. 
And I'm still sick. It's really weird being unable to talk, if I try to say something then it'll just come out as squeaks....

Yes you do. As well as you do with mead, you would probably make some damn fine beer. I'll get a few in the mail once I have a bit more cashy-money.
Also (to all), you are reading the typings of the proud owner of a brand new Troublemaker t-shirt. Pictures sometime tonight, if'n I can make my dumb camera take them.

Popping by the 'cooler to say see y'all later.
I'm off work tomorrow (family in town) and never seem to get online when I'm home. So, I suspect my next visit will be Monday morning.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Here's to RIMG and his trip up North 
(wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, eh?) She said in her best Monty Python voice
Troublemaker shirt? Gads. Magda shows off her Kaylee jacket, Tristan's got his whole wardrobe. Gads. What's next? JQ gets River's blue dress?

Hehe, I hope not or I'd be getting all you guys sick!
Yeah, and Jonny....please don't get a River dress...
Oh yeah, MsG, the other day in school we had to analyze quotes, and that one in your signature was one of them. It made me smile.
