There was a Tetris type game, with falling pieces you had to rotate and line up, but the pieces were men and women. When they fit together in sex positions, they moaned.

I was 14 and it was hilarious.

Garrett was our favorite stop on the food tour!

Are you willing to share the curated list? 🤞🏻

Ha! Haven’t thought about that in awhile… you’re absolutely right! My Livejournal is now old enough to get drinks. Yikes.

New England, at least. BFE is half the state of Maine, but also the furthest spots in the Hannaford parking lot.

I was 14 at the time, my memories of the Ice Storm of '98 are similar!

Yes! We taught my nephews there are grown-up words, grown-up drinks and grown-up movies.

Yes! A real eye opener for me!

Same!

Putting on makeup in public; specifically thought of refreshing lipstick at the table in a restaurant while waiting for the check.

You have to roll forward and reconcile the fixed assets every month or you will spend days catching up at year end, invariably finding a prior period issue that has to be corrected in the current period.

I was warned, but trusted the system too much - it can’t regulate human error, no matter how many controls are in place!

And then leave it in the front of the parking spot, where you can’t see it until you’ve committed to pulling in. Forcing you to back out, gesturing towards the windshield to communicate to the guy that was waiting for you to pull all the way in (who now has to stop to let you out and know you’ll beat him to another spot since you’re in front) that some jackass left a cart in the spot and it’s not your fault!!

If there are three legs, and one is a different height, the table won’t wobble but the top will be slanted. Probably still not ideal at a coffee shop, but at least it won’t move!

We are in the same boat, however, I wanted you to know that your positivity changed my perspective and I left this post feeling happy for everyone who can properly celebrate this holiday, rather than bitter that I cannot.

Thank you! 💜

But then what do you with the included frosting? I’m for sure not gonna throw that shit away!

Now someone is… checks notes… “Taking the piss” which either means giving us yanks shit or genuinely confused about how we could be confused… I think?

I’m a Damned Yankee that used to just be a Yankee working for a company headquartered in Scotland & Alabama for ten years. I don’t know anymore!

You have a very interesting phone collection and I appreciate you sharing! Unlocked memories I didn’t even know I had! 😃

I’m not good at hobbies, I think I’m so brainwashed that work has become my hobby. Except the work I do as a “hobby” is my previous job (in a different department at the same company) that I haven’t officially done for 3.5 years, they’ve hired 3 consecutive replacements for me, weird that they keep quitting cuz there is too much pressure to get 65+ hours worth of work done a week. I guess they must have real hobbies, family, friends… It’s been suggested, after the exit interviews, that I might be the problem and created unrealistic expectations for the role.

I need a real hobby, but I haven’t been able to find anything as fulfilling as turning on the work computer after hours and getting shit done when there is nobody about to interrupt, there are no actual expectations or requirements and then I’m actually told I’m appreciated! Hobbies take so much effort.
