Not exactly sure.
I spent part of a summer walking the beams at the top of this

Better you than me. When taking down the speaker towers at Jack trice for a concert, they grunters that were pulling the rods off the center were not harnessed or anything. one slipped and grabbed a loose rod and was hanging on literally for his life. He was screaming and going nuts, those of us not up on top couldn't do anything but watch and hope it turned out okay; thankfully it did.

Now that I've started eating more regular food I need to get back into planning what I'm going to have for lunch on a daily basis.
I know what I'll have for dinner the next 3 evenings but I have no idea what I am going to have for lunch today.
It was so much easier when all I had to doo was decided between oatmeal or scrambled eggs.
I guess I could whip up some mac & cheese. I still have several boxes of that lying around.

Heights used to be no big deal, not so much anymore, I do a lot more picking and choosing than I used to. Still can do most of it when needed, but no longer just instantaneous.

I just realized that my wife's extended family Christmas is on Saturday which happens to of course be Festivus. Debating walking in and yelling "I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE. AND NOW. YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THEM."
Gonna bring your Festivus pole to the event?

Are we the only people that LIKE self checkout, especially for groceries? We like bagging our stuff ourselves so that some bags stay in the garage for the freezer, some come to the kitchen, some upstairs to the closet in the bathroom, etc., and we don't have broken eggs, smooshed bread, and 45 bags for 17 items.

After hearing someone throw up, why does it always make you feel sick all of the sudden? I noticed an empty Hawaiian Punch Bottle in our trash container yesterday afternoon. Couple hours later our son was worshipping the porcelain god. :oops: He said he wasn't feeling good yesterday morning. He also said he had a fruit punch Gatorade. Nice that our popcorn bowl doubles as a puke bowl.

I was making an omelette this morning with diced green/red peppers onions, ham, and cheese and thought to myself, "wonder what this looks like coming up?" Nobody can say they have never thought of that after hearing someone throw up (non alcohol related).

I don't mind self checkout when I have a certain amount. Self checkout takes far too long for people with a shopping cart full of groceries.

Bring a pole with you while wearing wrestling headgear.

I prefer self checkout, my wife refuses to use it.

Should have ended before the second "and" so I didn't have to imagine the rest of your sentence. Good job. ;(

Hyvee has conveyer belts like SavUMore used to have. As a team, Lew & I are faster than a checker and bagger. I don't like the ones that have a teeny-tiny shelf next to the scanner. Those are just a waste of time.

I like self checkout but when we get a full cart the little checkout counters aren't big enough to hold everything.

That's all we have around here that I know of. The Walmart grocery store on 90th is self checkout only and they will close off a bunch of them so you have to wait. It's like they want it to be a hassle.
Fortunately I only go into Walmart as a last resort or an emergency
