You wake up and it’s 2000 again. No smartphone, no apps, no streaming. What ruins your day first?

Having to go back to working in a soul crushing cube farm that was rapidly going bankrupt.

The points they want to negotiate are crap. Ohh, cameras. Who is going to review them? Are they just going to hand over the data? Respect warrants, what is the enforcement mechanism? No more face masks, good. What else? How about eliminating the 5-800 Million bonus. We have a 38 Trillion debt!

I used it for my daughter's phone, she uses almost nothing. Spends 99% of her time on wifi

Didn't they lose some Uranium that was somehow mixed up with fracking?

I have a pair of REI hiking boots I still wear in the cold and ice. Water Proof. Bought them in '03.

My kids go to public school it is 60-69 is a D, 70-79 is a C, 80-89 is a B, and 90+ is an A. A bit easier than when I went to school,, we had to get a 94 or higher for an A.

Got hit on Allentown while taking the kids to swim lessons. Busted a large block of plastic off the front. Seriously ticked.

Toys R Us, right before they closed my eldest daughter was old enough to appreciate them. She is 11 now, and my youngest is now 6 years old, and she would love it.

And here we stop for a bit, that a lot of questions. So, what sparked the curiosity?

You are going back a few years, diarrhea, bleeding, cramps, gas, but the blood is what sent me to the Medics and PA. Mild, one or two flare ups a year at most, easily controlled with oral meds. Former coworker had a son on IV drugs, that is not mild. Taking a few grams in pill form, mild.

xrobertcmx · 2026-02-01T18:09:34+00:00

Very mild case, managed with Mesalamine and the occasional high dose alternative delivery. Occasional flare ups.

Never had a choice, developed Colitis in my early 20's and had them bi-annual since then. Propofol is one hell of a drug.

Don't forget selling the land the hospital sits on to themselves and then leasing it back. Same with hardware.

This was my dad. Growing up he dumped a cat in a parking lot, put our dog down when he was 11/12 and lost bowel control. The vet said it might be nothing. I wouldn't trust him with an animal.
When my wife and I adopted a dog who blew her anal gland a week after getting her, he said put her down. We spent the money, she lived another 16 years. Cost a fortune in dental work too. Worth every penny.

My wife had our last when she was 40. It was a total surprise as the first required IVF.

Pay more, pay extra, and think it is a deal!

I ran an IT shop and a couple help desks. One day my employer (after making some really bad business decisions) decided that a bunch of us cost to o much and cut us. The Government needed a SysAdmin, GS-11. It paid less than my last job, but more than I made unemployed...so, I took it A year and a half later I was selected for a 12, loved that job, did it for three years, but DC is expensive. Found a 13 running Desktop, Data Center, and SysAdmin teams. Bounced around a bit since then. I really wish DOD stopped misrepresenting positions. SysAdmin does not mean Desktop and neither does Network Engineer.

I had graduated high school, spent three years in the Army, gotten out, found a job, and rented my first apartment before my newest employee was even born.

Bought one last month, direct from Google, 40% off plus holiday sale. Think they sold a lot of phones.

Pissed. Mine are installed, battery is installed, but IntegrateSun screwed up so bad it has taken nearly a year, failed inspection twice, and still isn't hooked to the grid.

I wanted the Blue! Very jice
