when an item is not scanning well, they say "it's free!" Those jokes weren't even funny the first time...

I hated that one. Even if something didn't immediately scan "oh, it's free." I also hated it when people would call their brand of cigarettes by some other name than what they actually are, and getting mad when we didn't know what they are.

Three is a row. I might not go for four.

I've learned things being a cashier: People don't like being told their coupons don't match what they are buying or they are expired, they think we are a bank and always blame we cashiers if their cards don't go through, people think I either have very long arms or I am a Jedi: They put their stuff at the end of the register where I can't reach it (this is the speedy lane, where there is no conveyor belt), speaking of the speed lane, people are supposed to have 20 items or less, but 1 out of 5 people bring more than 20 items. Just blowing off a little steam. People tell the same jokes over and over: While I am checking a big bill, they say "I just made that today", when an item is not scanning well, they say "it's free!" Those jokes weren't even funny the first time...

It wouldn't make sense in San Diego, but on the east coast, when someone brings too many items for the lane, I've heard.....
"Are you from MIT & can't read,
or Harvard & can't count?"

where is that incessant clicking coming from

Sorry, it's me. I'll stop now.

 

[Revoltingest]

The clicking sound is still there.

Oh.....every time I move, all my joints perform this percussion symphony.
Hey, at least they still move....& relatively pain free!

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

You need you oil can.

 

[Wu Wei]

I still hear that incessant clicking...but now it is continually changing the beat....

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

Huh...guess it wasn't me. Where does it seem to be coming from?

 

[Wu Wei]

above me and of to the right.. and it has gotten faster....

Migraines suck. Suck so bad. So very very bad. A little over 5 hours later and two hydrocodone down and I'm sort of functioning now. Sort of. Migraines suck.

My father use to think migraines were just "bad headaches" and that people who complained about them were just whiners. Yeah, that attitude changed when he was put on a medication that had migraines as a side effect. You just don't know unless you experience it for yourself.

I get migraines, even lose my vision. But I get acupuncture when they happen and it goes away, for the most part. I am left with that somewhat hung over after effect, but the pain is gone and I can see. One of the advantages to being married to a Traditional Chinese Medical Doctor

This is a good reminder me to not say "it's free" the next time the scanner malfunctions. A sigh from a sinner.

I just agreed to trade one steam engine (with generator) for restoration of another steam engine.
I'll deliver the latter to NJ next month.
Woo hoo!

I've never had acupuncture. The vision crap gets me too. Mine usually start out with visual disturbances which become full ocular migraines and then full blown migraines that last for hours. And, yes, the "hangover" sucks. I kind of describe it as a cross between a hangover and a concussion, like post-concussion syndrome. I've had two bad ones in the past three days. I haven't had any in a while, they've been well managed so I don't know what has changed.

I've had acupuncture for years from three different practitioners and find it valuable.

I discovered that craisins where one of my triggers. I would get them other times, but every time I had a salad with craisins or just grabbed some from the bag, I'd get one.

Would a foot rub help? Start with mine, and then do @Revoltingest

How you doin'?

I got the loan today! And I also found a group of potential buyers, piggybacking off of someone else's business clients. And I'll be able to hook them up, adding more incentive to buy.
I also got a tool box, which is nice because now that I have an actual place them, I'll know exactly where my wire cutters are whenever I have to restring my bass or guitar.
And as a legit business expense, I'm going to get the equipment needed to softmod my PS3, make it able to play my PS2 games, throw a mod chip on my PS2, and sell that since I won't need it anymore. And in order to learn how to fix a common problem on the PS3 and Xbox 360, I'll be able to turn my old dead PS3 into one that sellable for a chunk, especially once I upgrade the hard drive, and I can fix my old XBox 360 and be able to those games again, learn how to mod it, then know how to fix the ones I'll be buying to fix, as well stuff to softmod those, and be able to use that to pretty much replace my XBox, but that one, my NES, and my SNES are a bit too sentimental to sell (I still regret selling my N64 years ago when I was needing the money). My Xbox even has a diamond plate skin (sticker) on it, and saves dating back many years ago, during what was pretty much a past life.
But, today, I'm even looking at the fees for filling an LLC, and everything exactly that entails, but I have heard some freelance editors say that creating an LLC helped them a lot on their taxes and finances.
