OK I had a clothing mishap today. I took out some of my old skirts, yes I could wear them, however the tops just look weird when paired with the bottoms? It's like they're a bit too long. I might need to get shorter tops. And also why I switched to dresses. So I didn't need to puzzle out which bottom went with which top.
In the end after several changes of clothes, I ended up wearing a slightly loose green dress. Oh well.
Just had a guy try to check in, but his card was declined. I told him it was declined and he said "I know. That card doesn't have any cash on it. Can you just give me the room and I'll pay cash in the morning." No, I need a valid card to hold the room, then you can pay cash in the morning. After begging a bit, he says "Well, does it have to be my card? I can give you someone else's." (What? Why do you have someone else's credit card?) And yes, it has to be your card. So he fiddles on his phone for a bit doing I don't know what, and then leaves.
you cant pay cash in your system? Something sounds off.
Sure would be nice to have a break in the snow.
*Looks at the forecast for the next week*
Nope, that's not happening.
LM, I believe you had a bad experience. The gator that I've had tasted somewhere between buttered pork and chicken. I didn't have the rubbery experience that NH had either.
This is pretty spot-on, yeah. It's a bit lighter than pork or beef but a bit thicker and tougher than chicken, but not unpleasantly so in either direction.

Mrs Sunrise brought me maple candy from Canada, and it tastes like my childhood. :D
@Yuu, sent you a PM.

A lot of hotel chains are card only now. At least the nicer ones.
Ours authorizes automatically but it will still go ahead and make keys and check them in even if the card doesn't go so its easy to miss it if your careless.

Try hitting it with a hammer. If nothing else you'll feel better.

Happy super belated B-day my red dragony polish friend!
Note: Whoa, polish and polish are spelled the same!...polish as in from poland and polish as in polishing a diamond! Mind Blow!
<.<

They are not. One is spelled polish and the other Polish :P
<.<

I might be too dedicated to getting a (bit of) living using English language professionally.
What if polish starts a sentence?

Polish workers primarily work on jewels.

...I just saw my third right-wing meme, this one blatantly anti-Muslim, and I mean...I'm blocking her, but before I unfriend, there's this part of me that wants to post:
"So, I was at the bank yesterday, getting money converted to Canadian for a trip. I thought the conversion rate was too high, and was frustrated, but then I remembered 'WWJD'? So - I flipped the banker's desks and tables, then pulled out a whip I made and started chasing people around cracking them with it. Remember folks, that's always an option he showed us."
...just to be a smartass.
That's just how Jesus rolls; "Turn the other cheek my brothers, unless of course they disrespect my father's house, in which case make a whip of cords and beat the living s!#! out of everyone!"

Hi,, everyone.
Hello!
Good morning, everyone. *Checks watch, looks at the sky. "Morning? Fegh. Five o'Clock is still too effing early!"*
Mort, check all the cables in the back of the printer. I once heard of an office practical joker that went through the company and loosened the printer-side USB cables.
That monster!
If she went all Thor on the monster then it would be the best of all our advice.

Hitting the printer with a hammer won't fix it.
What about the perpetrator?
Also it doesn't have to be a hammer.. Bats work well too.

And that silly unable to print reliably thing is still not fixed...Have you tried turning it off and on again? If that doesn't work, use a bigger hammer.
Still doesn't print reliably.
IT helped me uninstall my Adobe acrobat Pro and install a new version and it seems fixed for now. However it took the better part of the day to sort it out so I'll have to catch up with work tomorrow.
According to IT Adobe acrobat was messing up how my comp was sending instructions to the printer.

I'm going to wake up at 5.30 am tomorrow to do an hour session of Billy Blanks Tae Bo workout before work, so no, 5 o clock isn't too early.
It's not a cable problem since everyone can print fine except me. Unless it's my cable port into the main network, in which if so, my Internet should have failed as well, but no, Internet was working fine.
And we did restart both my laptop and the printer several times but it still didn't fix the problem. I even tried sending the job to a different printer, printing was still a sometimes kind of thing.
Drop da hamma!
It was a roller coaster ride of me going back to my hating humanity ways then an aww that's cute.
I've grown to hate Pixar films so I didn't watch it, yet.

You might be the only one that hasn't I have seen it everywhere in the past few days.
What was the Pixar film that sent you over the edge?
They've become predictable and stale.
Ah so not just any single one.
Nope, more like a collective of them.
Coco, Toy Story 3, Cars 2 mostly.
I might watch Inside Out if presented with the opportunity and The Incredibles is one of the best super hero movies so I'll check out the sequel one of these days, but otherwise no thanks.
Oh I didn't even watch cars 2 or Coco. I avoid the sequels I do not want to watch any of the later cars movies. I think the last one I can think of I enjoyed was Wall-E and yeah I did like incredibles 2 even though it was not as good as the first, and it was about 5+ years too late.
Also I didn't care for Up. Not because it was sad just found it boring.

How do you know when you've been working too much lately.
When you start to have dreams about shoveling snow.

I started the Couch-to-5K running plan this morning. It's a fitness app that's supposed to take middle-aged, out-of-condition spuds like me and get you running three miles easily in 8 weeks.
Pro: It doesn't cost anything.
Con: Breathing hard while jogging through my neighborhood means I now know which houses have sewer trouble, which houses have gas trouble, and which houses use Snuggle dryer sheets.

LM - don't forget your sports bra and a good pair of socks and shoes. Running in inappropriate bra caused me blisters at you-know-where, and the same applied for socks. I had to get running socks that would wick away moisture else I'd keep getting blisters once I went past 2 miles or so.
Also my favourite breathing pattern is two inhales, one exhale, to the song "We will Rock You" by Queens.
And don't eat/drink too much before running. You'll get stitches. If you still get stitches while you're running despite not eating/drinking too much, you'll need to slow your pace a bit, hold the side that has stitches with one hand until you recover some, then pick up the pace.
Usually if I'm doing any kind of pushing on speed, after 4 km or so I will possibly get stitches. If I don't get stitches, I'm not pushing myself hard enough. Again some people just don't get stitches(lucky dogs!).
But I think the Texas dryness would kill me. I know I couldn't run outdoors in Arizona as it was so dry I would get my nose clogged and couldn't breathe properly.

I liked Coco, but again the part about Miguel's family resonates with me. Didn't really care for the Cars Series, or Toy Story very much either.

Jet lag has gotten me good. I feel real crap. I should get back to my play by posts, but reading more then 10 sentences and trying to be coherent is quite challenging.*Sends nuzzles and pats to Woran too*
I hope you get over the laggy-ness quickly! Though I think your pbp peep could probably spare you for a couple of days, so waiting until you feel like you're back on your feet might be the best idea.
Jet lag is weird. Its a bit like having the flue. You feel tired and weak and you dont know if you're hungry or not.
It was 0 degrees when I waited for the bus with Tiny T-Rex.
It's currently -3 degrees, not even an hour later.
I thought the sun was supposed to make things warmer...
There is always some arm-twisting getting me to see a CGI film. Mrs Sunrise talked me into seeing Incredibles 2 with TOZ and that was fun, so I saw Incredibles 1 a few weeks later -- I hadn't seen it when it came out. I liked it too!
I saw Toy Story 1 as a kid and it was decent, then Mrs. Sunrise and the Homunculi bargained with me to rewatch it and see the other two. Suffice it to say there is a video of me from behind, watching The Scene in #3, with my head resting sideways on my fist. I can see that it's a powerful scene, but it just didn't do anything for me and that's all I can say about the Toy Story franchise in general.
Well, gotta walk the dogs (we have my dad's dog with us while he goes to SoCal for two and a half weeks to drive around the desert in dune buggies with his brother and sisters.
