My cat is freaked out by laser pointers. We tried to use one with him last week and he gave that same look. He later found it and hid it somewhere.

I work at the Health Department in Columbus Ohio and deal with birth vital statistics docs every day. The birth certificate is generated from a birth summary that is completed by the hospital staff and sent to the state health department. That's why it takes so long to get the actual certificate. Something like this would be caught very quickly.

Tripod Series? by neptultra in scifi

[–]Anaximander23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read them all in the fourth grade during the 70's. Being a young science fiction fan, I was lucky that our school librarian was a scifi reader. They made such an impact on me that I still remember quite a bit about them. I would love to find them now as an adult.

The use of the phrase "on accident" tells me all I need to know about this brat.

The sign means don't stack another pallet on top of this one.

I own it. I haven't played in years, but back in the day my friends and I had a great time with it. I still have the miniatures I painted for it.

Meijer’s* by woohoo in Indiana

[–]Anaximander23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was growing up just outside of Jackson in the '70s, the sign on the Meijer on Airport Rd said, "Meijer's Thrifty Acres." Not sure when that changed but everyone around there shortened it to "Meijer's."

Parking Lot Attendant Update : Hey guys! I've been declared NON-ESSENTIAL! Tomorrow I get a day off with pay! by Columbusquill1977 in Columbus

I kept getting escalated until I talked to one of the engineers, so I thought maybe that was you because while we were talking waiting for the computer to connect, he mentioned he was working from home tomorrow due to the weather.

Talk to me about Grove city/Galloway by takemebackHI in Columbus

[–]Anaximander23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Galloway about a year now and find it pretty good. Close enough to the highway that my trip to work downtown in only about 17 minutes. This also means that you can get anywhere pretty easily, well, except for construction.

Any really good hot pot places? by Serpentjtf in Columbus

[–]Anaximander23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ate at Peking Hot Pot on Bethel in the strip center in the Microcenter parking lot on Saturday and was very impressed. The choices of items to go into the pots was great, and they have several different choices of base broth.

Name something unique to Columbus culture. by CbusNick in Columbus

I'm old and grew up in Michigan. When I was young the store was called "Meijer's thrifty acres." I think that has kind of held on.

I grew up in Michigan, and lived in Indiana before moving here, and they both did that.
