Learning to tell time on an "analog" clock!

I worked at a really fancy restaurant and the only things kids could ever order was the cheeseburger, the menu was pretty limited. One time this husband and wife were ordering their main course and the woman's husband ordered a cheeseburger. She was like "Don't get a cheeseburger!" and she smiled at me as if to say "my husband is a moron, suggest something we can't eat at home" and I was like "The cheeseburger is delicious! How would you like it done?" I knew he would have eventually would have ordered something different and hated it if I didn't say that. Also I'm busy damn. :p the cheeseburger was 17$ btw haha |

Yeah, I'm a smoker and I'm cool with it. If I have to smoke inside that bad, I'll join a private club that allows it. There are a lot of polite smokers (I consider myself to be one) who go out of their way to do things like put out their cigs & deposit the butts in receptacles, try the best they can to stand downwind from non smokers. When I'm waiting for a bus and lite up, I stand as far away from everyone as I can as to not be rude. There's no way everyone can be taught these few simple rules of courtesy, so it probably needs to be done. When I visited my friend in Santa Monica, it was already in place. It was obnoxious at first, but I adjusted to it pretty quick. |

a: snub one out right before getting on a train, and sit near you...like seriously, I know smoking fucks with your sense of taste and smell, but throw back a mint ferchrists sake, you pay the ridiculous (financial and physical) price for the habit, what's a pack of gum on top of that? b: Again, with trains...the ones that stand at the door like they can't wait to get out, then light up as soon as the doors open, in front of like everyone. Other than the times I have to inhale their habit myself, I don't much care about smokers...they're aware of the risks, it's their choice. Quote:

2nd hand smoke is overrated, the polluted air you're breathing every second of the day does more damage than a few minutes of breathing second hand smoke from a smoker 10-20 feet away. You're just talking about someone who was smoking then sits beside you? give me a break. :rolleyes: |
I'd say the whole AIDS epidemic thing would be a contender for the top5 up in here...While nobody seems sure of the exact point of time in which it STARTED, it was (as I recall) sometime in the 80's that the world became aware of how truly big it was. The panic, the confusion, the association...definately changed things.

In a lot of regards, it has less to do with health and more to do with people just being stupid, inconsiderate dickheads. |
Urge, you failed to mention
indoor plumbing The Steam Engine Pasteurization The movable type printing press ha...you're old |
I'm also sceptical about the nuts thing, and would go so far as to say many people claiming they have an anaphylaxis are just being fashionable, attention seeking and jumping to convenient conclusions... often transferrable to their kids, because eating nuts must have been the reasons for their illnesses and strange behaviour.

I think the cervical cancer vaccine that's right around the corner will be a big 'un. Actually...cancer, it's one of those things that's just about fixed...I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still a big bad motherfucker, but the current rate of advancement in treatment/management is huge.
Just remembered...97 or 98? HongKong being handed back by the british...surely not as significant for us, as it was for them. |

And having a wife and a daughter, the cervical cancer vaccine is really exciting news. Quote:

I guess the capture of Saddam, and everything that's gone in in Iraq since is a change...for the better or worse, I'm really not sure...
|
Damn....many changes in my life. Anybody remember rotary phones...you put your finger in the dial and move it.
I would listen to music on Records or [gasp] 8-tracks [the stupidest music format to date ]. 3 channels on the TV and I would have to get off my ass to change the channel. 1st man on the moon. Portable car phones came around when I was a teen.....but they were just for the rich and were huge and stationary. CGI...........never heard of it....monsters wore a suit....with a zipper. You could have sex with anybody....but watch out for the dreaded VD.......then you would have to get a couple of shots and you were all better. fuck......i'm old |

yes .... but did you know that there is a version of pigs on the wing (from pink floyds's animals) that is extended and was only available on 8-track ? i think it recently became available on someone's solo album .. but its hard to find. at least i'm pretty sure it's pigs on the wing.. |

I think it's funny that people still debate if that really happened... |

Death, destruction, chaos... Eventually I think it will get better. Television tech has really amazed me. DVDs and CDs really took the place of cassettes and VHS too. Just the amount of media we have access to now is staggering. Because of news sites so many people have read so many conflicting articles on different things and it seems like everybody is now a political activist. So much information and so little truth. Fast food and coffee shops are EVERYWHERE now. What they're allowed to show on television is amazing. Broadband over dialup. Internet businesses. Car tech is incredible too. Do we really need two DVD players, surround sound, and a guidance system in our vehicles? What about subs in cars, seems like half the people I know don't know that treble exists and lyrics, well who needs those if you have thundering bass? I don't know, just some rambling, a lot has changed, probably the only thing that hasn't is the amount that people complain. |

the whole Hong Kong thing turned out to be a fairly transparent move..
China knew better than to cut off their nose to spite their face and let it be .. a lot of people who came to canada in fear of the worst went back once they found there were really no negative changes. |
