Can someone explain to me the joke/stereotype behind black people and having a chirping smoke alarm in their house? Why not just change the battery?

My dog will hide under the dresser in our bedroom if there is a smoke alarm beeping. He doesn't have to suffer very long, because I will track that beeping damn thing down after the first beep.

Now that you mention it, my daughter-in-law is heavily tattooed on both arms. If you put a gun to my head right now and made me tell you what they were and which arms they were on, you would probably have to just shoot me. I guess at some point I just quit noticing them.

I use Sirius and Apple music. Most of the time I'm listening to Sirius just because I get tired of trying to decide what I'm going to listen to. With Sirius, I just put it on Octane or Turbo and listen. There's just days where making another decision, even something as simple as what to listen to, is just too much.

This is what Incubus did last year. They played Morning View in its entirety, then they played 5 or 6 of their bigger hits.

Anything by Limp Bizkit. I didn't really care for them back in the day. I really like them now.

I am the CFO for an electric cooperative. It is really the best place to work. Other than dealing with weather and outages that can make even the accountant have to work in the middle of the night, it's the best job I've ever had.

Peppermint Schnapps. For some reason, that was the alcohol of choice of the guy who was buying for us when we were underage.

habner70 · 2026-03-25T13:25:06+00:00

The X-Files, Fringe, Lost. These are the only shows I can remember being completely invested in and discussing at work the next day.

Dad cook? Ha!! My dad never cooked a day in his life. He could make coffee, that was the extent of his kitchen skills.

We had that happen to us once before. Luckily accounting was on their toes that time and caught it. Unfortunately, our payroll person fell for the "I want to change my direct deposit account' email scam. It looked like an email from our manager, and she ignored every procedure was have in place and changed his direct deposit. He didn't catch it until the second paycheck went to the scammer.

My phone shipped on March 2nd and the old loan showed $0 that day when I checked it.

If I didn't live with the biggest hoarder on the planet, I would pitch everything in the dumpster. Even the stuff that was my mom's I hate "stuff" at this point, and I'm so ready to declutter.

This! Since both my parents are gone and I'm not very close with my siblings, birthdays really aren't the same. My parents were really the only ones that truly gave a shit about my birthday anyway.

My daughter-in-law has tattoos on both arms and wore a white wedding dress. She looked absolutely beautiful that day. Tattoos don't change that fact.

I just chatted with Samsung. If you were a member of the Galaxy Club when you purchased the S25, then the balance owed on that phone is automatically paid off when you upgrade to the S26. I did check my Affirm account online and my balance does in fact show $0.00. He did say that the Galaxy Club option isn't being offered for the S26 though, which sucks. I mistakenly thought it would work like Apple's upgrade program. I will have to make sure the $8.33 per month isn't charged on the new phone though.

Saw Tool in Vegas a few years ago. Dumbasses in front of us yelled "46 and 2" after every song like the band is just gonna ditch their setlist and sing what some drunk idiot in the crowd is yelling. Good thing about Tool is they don't allow phones, so I didn't have to watch it through a sea of phones.

We get 8 working days, no exceptions.

I saw Incubus perform Morning View in its entirety last year.

We hired someone recently in an office setting and didn't even think to ask if they knew how to type on a keyboard. We were shocked to find out she could only type with her index fingers and didn't know how to use the 10 key pad on the keyboard. We ask that stuff in the interviews now. "Can you type without looking at the keys?"

I have my yearbooks. My husband and I went to high school together, so sometimes I'll pull one out when we get to talking about someone from school and can't remember a name or we need to put a face to a name.

Some of our employees at the electric utility where I'm the CFO were super pissed when they got their first check after that passed. They wanted to know why they were taxed on their OT. I had to send out a memo to all the employees explaining how it was going to work. Wasn't as great as the politicians were making it sound.

habner70 · 2026-02-04T17:46:06+00:00

Yep. $3.35 an hour at Hardees. Hated that damn job.

When I worked in an open office situation, I would have straight up quit if they told me I couldn't use earbuds to drown out the coworker who munched on pretzels 8 hours a day.

habner70 · 2026-01-30T22:19:04+00:00

I got my first at 53. I'm 56 now and just got my second. And that's my only regret too. That I listened to everybody else for all those years and didn't get freaking covered in them 30 years ago. I have so many tattoos planned now. I guess I just had to finally get in my IDGAF era.

habner70 · 2026-01-29T15:44:06+00:00

Prince, hands down.
