I pull that one on my kid who tries to out-geek me.

That sounds infinitely better than the problem I would have.

Copy and paste a large chunk of data and it would appear Excel would freeze, but it was still working I. The background. I could navigate with the keyboard and key in data, but the screen wouldn't change so I wouldn't know what I was doing. The only solution I found was to completely close Excel (inconvenient when you're working with multiple files and have to close ALL of them) and reopen to continue where you left off.

There might have been a plugin facilitating this bug, but all that is governed by corporate policy. I only stumbled across this when I opened Excel in safe mode and repeating the copy/paste didn't cause the bug.

I'll say this much about rote memorization: I can multiply by hand like a madman. Is it useful? Maybe. I don't have to whip out my phone to do simpler problems.

I can still count change in my head so I know how to get back fewer coins than I hand in. Which would be fine if I still used cash. I use a card for 99% of my in-person transactions.

I was daily driving a keyboard with no legends on most of the keycaps as a way to just mess with people (and flex my touch typing skills). The hard part was finding the caps in the first place.

GLP-1 drugs have been great for me. Lost 50 pounds, taking less insulin, eating less.

I still eat fast food, but I usually just get a sandwich and drink. I can't eat all the fries, so I stopped getting them. The side effect is cheaper meals compared to what I used to get.

That's how I would have described my hair as well. It's also mostly white now (where it still grows).

I have red hair in my lineage (mom and sister). I feel this is why narcotics don't last as long on me as they are prescribed.

I've only been put under a handful of times with no issues, however. I never disclosed the hair color thing to any doctors.

Blocking the payment doesn't necessarily cancel your obligation to pay. They might come after you for the amount owed you had originally agreed to pay plus other fees because your payment method stopped working.

As always, this is going to vary by vendor.

It took me 45 minutes on the phone to cancel my Vonage account.

I wasn't using it so there was no reason to keep paying for it. It took that long for them to finally give in and cancel.

Thing is, I was a satisfied customer. I might have gone back to them if the need returned (it hasn't). Given how hard it was to cancel, I don't know if I'd ever start it up again.

I fully embraced the Substitute Teacher pronunciation of my name. I lead with it.

It's great when I place an order at a fast-food counter and I get a smile when I give them my name.

I was in middle school and had dinner over at a friend's house. They were devout Mormons.

In my home, we were tacitly Christian, but we didn't have any rituals for regular meals (compared to the big holiday meals where a "saying of grace" would usually occur). My friend's family had an elaborate pre-meal ritual. I recall at least two different prayers with those in attendance having to be in a different position for each one (to clarify, each prayer had its own position,not each person). I'm following along to be polite, but it was happening so fast I could barely keep up.

Thankfully, no one commented on my technique.

Of all the potentially traumatic Reddit lore out there, this one feels quite heartwarming.

Have you met any teenagers?

I encounter tham all too frequently through my job. I don't think these parents were completely off their rockers.

$250 sign-up fee sounds like an MLM or a required license. Did they say which?

I work for a school bus company. Any time I've done interviews, I've been clear it was the DMV who wants all that money to get your CDL.

I don't remember a massage!

You don't sign a W-2. You might sign a W-4 if an employee or a W-9 if a contractor.

Don't bring grammar to this math discussion!

I feel like I've grown up here.

My summer wardrobe is up to nine linen shirts. Winter is at 14 flannel. T-shirt rotation is maybe 50. Underwear is 49 for every day rotation and even more "special occasion" sets. I think I only have 15 pairs of socks in regular rotation.

Pants, only four, and I generally wear the same pair for a week before changing. I work an office job so I'm not getting them all grimy and sweaty.

Most of my wardrobe is from Costco. They've had some nice flannel with new patterns every year. Same with the linen. Underwear is from MeUndies and I may have a problem since I've become addicted to adding new patterns.

20 years ago was closer to what you describe. I do have many hanging in my closet I'll probably never wear and need to discard.

It has to be. My guess is one of the shorts.

Until you realize you messed up the algorithm half-way through and you have to unscramble the mess and try again.

Is no one eating Raoul any more?

But does he still drink tranya?

Back in my early 20s, the girlfriend I had at the time went out of town for a little over two weeks.

I managed to not masturbate the entire time she was gone. My reward was to give her a facial when she got back. While I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "one man bukakke," it was pretty close.

It's the only facial I've ever given and it was epic.

I just told my doctor I wanted to be evaluated for ADHD and was referred to an appropriate specialist. It shouldn't be any different for you.

Good luck!

When I used to regularly ride a bicycle, my typical cruising speed was in the 10-12mph range. I remember going downhill and hitting 20mph once. It was a bit freaky. I don't think I'd intentionally go that fast again.
