I know your pain. That's what I had to do until I had a kid and dTV became a bit more mandatory. We used to take a radio in case we didn't have sound.Originally Posted by FavreChild

Here's the point, BH....a little geography lesson:Originally Posted by BallHawk
Next time you see someone wearing a t-shirt that says "Hollister Beach Wear," you can have a little laugh because here's the truth....
Hollister is located about 25 miles from any kind of beach:

And the closest beach is in Watsonville......trust me, you DON'T want to swim there.
My back is frickin killing me and I'm out of pain killers.
I figured it was time to dust off this oldie but a goody of a thread
this weekend i was in chicago and on the way back home i ran into some crazy lake effect snow! indiana had white out conditions. i was driving about 10 mph like every one else on the road. and there is always this idiot in a jacked up truck who thinks he can still go 75 "cause he's got four wheel drive". needless to say this idiot lost control and spun across the three lanes of traffic. i'm going to guess he got more than a one, single figured salutes!!
Freaking lazy SOBs who leave shopping carts scattered all over the parking lots of America! Get off yo fat ass and push that sucker back to the store! You could use the exercise!
AGREED!!!!!! This shit pisses me off!! Damn parking lot looks like an obstacle course most of the time. Didnt they use to hire people to pick the damn things up?Originally Posted by Freak Out
Now clothes are one thing I don't skimp on. Cannot ignore the higher quality material in the higher quality shops. I buy all my clothes on eBay at a greatly discounted rate, but I do get mostly nice stuff like banana republic and guess, because the quality is much higher than that of a shirt from kohls department store or jcpenney.Originally Posted by BallHawk
I must say this was my most fun job ever. I was the cart boy for a summer. I recall one time when my partner and I had a cashier, who happened to be an offensive linemen for la-crosses football team during the school year, come out and push a train of 100 carts. It was glorious.Originally Posted by Freak Out
I see the Costco cart people do that...with a machine!Originally Posted by Partial
IDK if it's the time of year, or what......but my rant has to do with idiots calling a place of business with NO clue about what that business entails.
For your consideration:
Me: "Medical Examiner's Office, this is Mike speaking"
Caller: "Yes, I wonder if you do testing there?"
Me: "Whatever testing we need done is usually sent to a reference laboratory.....could you tell me what type of testing you need performed?"
Caller: "Mmmm.......an std test."
Me: "And what would be the date of death for the person you would like to be tested?" (The next comment will be that we can't perform diagnostic testing based upon the desire of the public, it has to be ordered by a physician or court system)
Caller: "Oh, no.......this is for me."
Me: "I'm sorry, you should probably be trying to speak with the County Health Department"
Caller: "OK"
Me: (thinks to self) "I guess that guy just opened the phone book, saw 'Medical' and figured 'this must be the place'"
<==there's five minutes of my life I'll never get back..
And yesterday:
Me: "Medical Examiner's Office, this is Mike speaking"
Caller: "Yes, I'd like to schedule a visitation"
Me: "I'm sorry, usually after a decedent is here, they are sent to a funeral home for viewing" (Next comment will be how we will allow viewing for next-of-kin only, with a suggestion that viewing at a funeral home be preferred)
Caller: "Wait a minute, this ISN'T the jail?"
Me: "Ummm, no--this is the Medical Examiner's Office"
Caller: "I'll try again"
Me: (thinks to self) "Yeah, try again...and this time look for the word 'JAIL' in the phone book"
Me: (thinks to self) "Maybe if these people had JOBS, they would not be able to get on the phone and wreak havoc with their stupidity.
That's funny!
This isn't a rant, actually it's pretty comical. My telephone number is one number different from that of a large physicians office here. You wouldn't believe the amount of messages I get from people trying to call their Doctor's office. First off, don't they think it's odd that they are trying to call their doctor during business hours and get a message? Secondly, if there was a message system used, wouldn't it identify their office/business? It's amazing the messages people will leave concerning their health problems. I also get frequent messages meant for one of the doctors concerning changes made in his tennis lessons....lol
You should answer the phone "Medical Examiner's Office, this is Iron Mike speaking"Originally Posted by Iron Mike
shin splints. That's all.
Just as I am hitting my running stride, too. Damn weak lower-leg bones (tibia or fibula, something like that? ) . Back to the heavy bag and elliptical for me.
Partial, have you tried new shoes? Also, there's supposed to be a brace you can wear but I don't know if it really helps or not.
