Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

I'm a diabetic. Nothing, period.

Boo that!

Oh, hell, that's my boss every frickin' day.

I had a boss, once upon a time.

Was it a CWW?

No, work bosses.

At home with CWW#1 and CWW#2 I was not boss or bossed.

If posting JLH gifs ever becomes a bannable offense I think a lot of us are in trouble.

If a post gets deleted do you get a message from the moderators about it? I once posted something that disappeared quickly and always wondered why.

If JLH gifs are wrong, I don't want to be right.

Just have to tell you he's over there nodding & laughing, in total agreement with you. He also wanted you to know that he has TWO snakes in the garagemahal.

Is Lew trying to get you post innuendos again?

Is it an illusion or does the base on that thing bow down?

I put my ruler up to my screen. It's not straight. Maybe it bows out with a little curvature in the doors?

Bows out slightly. Heading over to Design Center to see if they have them. Already have a trip to neighboring state next month to pick up this cool cherry TV stand I've been looking for since they stopped making them several years ago.

Stocking up on good stuff for my nieces to have in my estate sale.

Stopped at a drive-thru during lunch. Bill was $2.96. I gave the guy $5.01 .

Change was taking a while, so I was anxiously awaiting the result. I get back $2.03 . I couldn't figure out the math no matter how hard I tried.

Maths is hard. People (no, I'm not just picking on millennials!) get lazy and their change making skills atrophy (assuming they ever had any) when they have cash registers do everything for them and then a customer throws them a curveball after they have rung up the sale already.

Awesome run-on sentence, isn't it?

I have to admit sometimes I like to watch them squirm for a minute before I do the maths for them.

The kid probably is telling his friends a story about some guy that didn't realize the $5.00 was more than enough to pay a $2.96 bill

He was probably like, "Some old guy gave me a penny. I think it was for a tip or something. Hell, I didn't realize they still made 'em. I gave him three back since we had some lying around collecting dust. Maybe he collects them."

Having worked in fast food and concessions it gets worse. On any modern POS (point of sale) system or at the least the ones I have seen when being paid in cash you select cash and then in big block key pad it gives you the option of how much they are paying with and then tells you what the change should be.

He says one is longer than the other, but he's not saying which one.

Isn't it obvious?
You gave him an extra penny. That made it $2.97. Subtract that from $5 and you get back $2.03. Right?

Math is hard. What I don't understand: Why do some folks use 'math' and others use 'maths'? I used to think it was just a European/US thing.
