So that's why it said "animals" when you called me last. 
|

Probably a wrong number, since it's very unlikely that I'll ever directly call you without having you go through 2 levels of my personal secretaries coming into play.

HEY! That's my IP address.

This has been happening here in the UK for a couple of years (at least). Caller claims to be from Microsoft support and says they have identified a virus or some other error. According to press reports they get you to download a "virus cleaner" and then charge for it, but they never get that far when they call here. I did string one guy along for a few minutes and then challenged him on the facts - he hung up.

I just picked up a pair of these training gloves[^]. I'm probably going to get to use the the first time tonight.
I also got new fight shorts, mma gloves, a new shock doctor mouth guard, and ordered my ringside gear (ice bucket, ice bag, enswell, etc.). The coach brought ringside stuff at my last gym, but we don't have a coach that attends fights at this one.
1 week out now.

The gloves seem to be missing the spikes that I usually see in gladiator movies. Am I missing something here?
|
|
|
|

Yeah, even the 4oz fight gloves don't have the spikes.

You remind me of my horse
Daddy told me we were made for each other
All the guys come around for her jugs
The library didn't have the right book to steady my table
Drivin' the back roads lookin' for dinner
God made trees (so why use the brake)
Fishin' from the couch out back
The bigger the woman the better the cookin'

Her boyfriend. Even he got tired of her.

They're not my kids. They'd only be half-ugly.

That's the way it should be. If she tries to give me the ring, I'll give her the finger.

Yeah, nobody can survive being runover by a Greyhound.

Been circulating on FB the last few days guys are awesome, looks like they're from my neck of the woods.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Must be a Friday. First I make coffee without a cup and now I read the title as 'Thunderchicken' which would be an awesome name for a Gwar-esq metal band with a fowl twist.

Have you stopped using the penny altogether? On a recent trip, I noticed that prices were always rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents when paying in cash.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I discovered this a month ago. Sums tend to be rounded one way or another, but you feel a bit of a fool standing there with your hand out when it's rounded in the shop's favour.
|

Pennies are no longer being produced; whatever is in circulation is all there is.
For cash purchases, prices are to be rounded to nearesst nickel.
For electronic purchases, pennies are essentially still in effect.
So... if you purchase something for, say, $23.02, pay with cash.
If it is $23.03, use your card and save 2 cents.
The reason for getting rid of the pennies are:
1. cost - about 1 1/2 to 2 cents to produce
2. people hoard them and only cash them in on occasion; I remember my parents doing that and cashing in $50 or more at a time - all pennies.
|

Interesting. I wish they'd do that here as well. Pennies just add weight, are not accepted by most coin machines, and people just accumulate them in their car's cup holders.

I generally inflict them about 2 dozen at a time on a waiter who annoys me in lieu of a quarter as part of a cash tip.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yep, for cash transactions only.
$1.01, $1.02 -> $1.00
$1.03, $1.04 -> $1.05
I'd rather be phishing!

The quarter is the new penny...don't usually get anything lower than that, inflation sux. I do the bulk of my purchasing online these days, so I don't notice that much.
I still have jars of pennies...should melt them down and sell them as a copper ingot on eBay

They aren't copper anymore; I think they are a combination of metals.
After 1997 to 2003... copper plated zinc
1999 to 2003... steel, copper, nickel
2003 on.. multi-ply plated steel

Ah, thanks for the info...I guess I'll have to say 'genuine imitation copper ingot' in the description then

Noticed that on my last trip to Toronto last spring.
I like it and wish the US would do the same. Heck, we could stop using the nickel as well...
I also liked the Canadian mylar bills.
