    I would try something my date likes, as long as my date is getting something I know I can eat. That way I can try one bite with a clean fork, and if it turns out I don't like it we can swap.

    Online Dating - Share Your Stories!

    On a related note: This wasn't a date, but a friend coming through this area on a road trip. The friend was flying in, and I made some assumptions that my friend was not also assuming. See... I like to always have my own vehicle with me, so I don't have to depend on anybody else for...

    Are There any Linux Users on This Site?

    I checked it on wikipedia. Nice lore and a lot of involved gameplay. I play for the plot, so I have no interest in it. But I can see how people who play for gameplay and challenge can have a banging old time on that game.

    Nope. I'll look at it after I clock out. I'm on lunch break and it's over.

    Encouragement for parents of all ages.

    The single biggest reason I respect my dad is because, after the divorce when he was hurting, I never once heard him say anything mean about my mother. That's not the only reason I respect him, but it's the biggest reason. Be certain your kids are definitely watching you.

    stuffed critters past or present?

    Those are mere house cats. I referred you to any thread about usernames, and my stated reason for being Lynx instead of HouseCat.

    Well... Uh... I guess that's, um... One way to look at it. Yeah.

    DON'T let an RV nightmare happen to you!

    Yay! More homework! Could you at least tell us a little something about what the video is about, so we can decide whether we want to watch it? Right now I decide I don't want to watch it. If I was bored enough to watch a video I'd be watching stand-up comedy. Why do we need to watch this...

    Have You Ever Traded One Vice (Bad Habit) For Another? One Thing, One Thing, Leads to Another... (for those who remember the song!)

    Never heard of it before now. Looks like standard Diablo or Arcanum gameplay. Not a game for me (though I did really like Arcanum) but definitely a game for somebody.

    "I've about decided to give up on getting married. I'm just gonna go out every three or four years, find a woman I can't stand and buy her a house. It'll come out the same, with less aggravation and ulcers." Lewis Grizzard: "I didn't know it was getting so bad until I saw a car on the freeway...

    Have You Ever Traded One Vice (Bad Habit) For Another? One Thing, One Thing, Leads to Another... (for those who remember the song!)

    It was actually kind of surprising, not to mention disheartening, when I found out about this. I always blithely played through games for the stories. When I googled tips and tricks on a game and started running into gamer egos it was something of a culture shock. There is a game called...

    Comedian quote: I wanted to get a Fitbit but I'm too poor. So I got a discount version from the dollar store. My friend's Fitbit gives her encouraging messages, like "good job!" when she walks a certain number of steps. My version is a lot more passive aggressive. "Would it kill you to eat...

    Have You Ever Traded One Vice (Bad Habit) For Another? One Thing, One Thing, Leads to Another... (for those who remember the song!)

    Skyrim... Ugh. Skyrim had so many things wrong with it. The 2 mile wide, one centimeter deep plot line was just the tip of the iceberg. The first time I fought a dragon it was thrilling. I was dodging fireballs and slinging arrows, just barely hanging on. By the 14th dragon, it was kind of...

    There certainly are a lot of video games that pander to fulfilling a sense of achievement. There is a lot of pride in gamer communities on the whole. I'm not so sure about the umbilical thing though. Most game controllers are wireless these days.

    Confused

    I'm in southwest TN so this is unfamiliar to me. Tickets? How many tickets did he get? How much are additional tickets? Could he BUY more tickets for the family he is leaving out? I've seen my family members shut out their family twice. My brother has ignored his whole family for more than a...

    Do action figures count? I think they should. Brainstorm (Transformers: Headmasters line) was my version of a teddy bear. He was much cooler than a stuffed bear though. He could fly and shoot lasers and stuff.

    Have You Ever Traded One Vice (Bad Habit) For Another? One Thing, One Thing, Leads to Another... (for those who remember the song!)

    Uh... Nope. Mine was video games, and mostly to fill time. And when I put them down, i picked up something equally useless. I didn't actually solve the problem until I stopped looking for ways to waste time and started looking for useful things to do with my time. That was when life stopped...
