  1. We have no Kroger in California, though I think Ralphs out here is a Kroger-owned store. Interesting TR, though. Eric
  2. Started a new job last week and I already have a three-day weekend. Eric
  3. ^ See, I aspire to be ACEer size someday. Um...wait...I'm already an ACEer and I was 210 lbs. once, back in 1999. And last year I got down to 117 when I was in the hospital. Eh, whatever. I'm on my way to a nice hot shower and hittin' the hay. Eric
  4. We had a TV from the '80s with fake woodgrain on it, so you never know... Eric
  5. ^ Part of the problem there is that some parents think their kids can do no wrong. There was a time when the teacher was the boss of the classroom, and it should still be that way today. Eric
  6. Contrary to what the tree huggers tell you, I believe that spanking is fine with a few guidelines: 1. Keep it to a minimum. 2. Keep it below the belt. 3. No "weapons" (belts, hairbrush, paddle, toaster, whatever). Your bare hand works just fine. When they get to where they can understand you (about age five in our case), then the spanking stops and more creative punishments kick in. Diana turned out to be the best kid a parent ever had. OK, so I'm bragging. But there was never a time when she didn't know why she was being punished, be it a swat or two or losing computer privileges, confined to her room, etc. Eric
  7. ^ Lives in Ventura County. < Lives in Ventura County. V Lives in an overturned trailer at the bottom of a canyon!
  8. I keep an Excel spreadsheet and simply list the credits in the order I get 'em. That works easiest for me. Eric
  9. I merely expressed a peeve disguised as a lesson. Or maybe it was a lesson disguised as a peeve. Y'know, maybe I should have been an English teacher. At least I'd get the summers off... Eric
  10. I had Cold Stone Sinless Sweet Cream with sugar free Oreos mixed in for dessert tonight, so my weight has finally cracked the 140 lb. mark. Eric
  11. ^ So is leaving out the apostrophe in "it's" when you mean "it is." Here's a quick grammar lesson for all of you: It's = "it is" or "it has" (a contraction, hence, an apostrophe) Its = possessive, hence, no apostrophe Eric
  12. Funny...Diana never got into this stuff. She was just more than happy to run out the front door buck naked. Sometimes it was tough to catch her. Eric
  13. ^ Relieved. < Hungry. V Stinky!
  14. Does anyone here use a 10-10-xxx number before making a phone call? Eric
  15. How ironic that a Freefall "free fell" to its death! I wonder how long SFMM's Freefall has left? Eric
  16. "What got me about it was that he had to drive past the coaster while coming into the park, furthermore from our vantage point he could obviously see that the ride's life hill was only about three quarters of the way finsihed." (AllenA07) I'd have told him it was a modern version of the Leap the Gap coaster. Then I would have told him, "If you want to ride, go wait up by the bridge at (one hour before park closing)." Eric
  17. ^ You might be in your 20s. That was...half my life ago! I guess it just never ceases to amaze me how many people just don't get it. Are the schools failing us? Parents? Both? I don't know what to think. Funny thing...we really clamped down over on Westcoaster, and for the most part, posts over there are much better written. Of course, it helps to have a Spelling and Grammar Nazi there. <--- Westcoaster's Spelling and Grammar Nazi, at your service! Eric
  18. Buffalo bacon cheeseburger at Eric's on the Pier in Avalon (Catalina Island). Eric
  19. Not crazy about "vitamin water," but remember that you can get some vitamins in Diet Coke with Diet Coke Plus. Eric
  20. I started a new job today, and just after my orientation, my boss told me that he has submitted his resignation. The general manager submitted his two weeks ago. Sort of like booking a cruise on a sinking ship. Eric
  21. Tonight I had a chili cheese dog at Carney's in Studio City. That is all. Eric
  22. Dang! I'm thinking about possibly doing the Japan trip, but I will be on Catalina Island all day tomorrow (for a wedding), so I'll have to miss the chat. Eric
  23. I think I've ridden Deja Vu about three or four times. I'm done. They may now remove it and build something better. Eric
  24. "The admission alone is only a little cheaper than Disneyland" (MagicMountainMan) You can buy tickets online for about half price. That cuts the cost of admission significantly. Eric
  25. ^^ I think that Canon S31S is the same model my wife just got. One time, I want to get a good digital SLR, but I have to save up first! Eric
