| Topic | Games released pre-2010 that you still play? |
| robbobmur 07/19/20 9:20:56 AM #50 | Most of my games are pre 2010 , or just barely early 10s, since PS3 is my latest console. I still enjoy my PS2 Maddens , Xmen Legends 1 & 2. I just started playing the Bioshock series , enjoy 1 & 2 , Infinite bores me. Deadpool and Arkham Origins , along with Infinite , would be my newest games that I actually play. I bought MLB 15 and one of the Star Wars games, 4-5 years ago - didn't like them and deleted them from my PS3 . But I've got Namco Museum 1 & 3 still on there. One of the newest thing I bought would be the NES and SNES classics with the older games. |
| Topic | Why does everyone hate Rey? |
| robbobmur 07/11/20 12:51:48 PM #38 | EvilMegas posted... Kylo and Vader both ghosted their father figures like it was nothing and then had changes of heart about the main character because of bloodline reasons. It's the same thing. Vader didn't have a father , his father figure was Qui-gon more than its was Obi-wan . Kylo had a father , not that they ever show us any previous feelings Kylo had for Han ; be they love , hate , rejection , disappointment , or abandonment. When does Kylo learn of Rey's bloodline and where does that impact my point that he had no reason not to kill her that first encounter when he should clearly outclass her despite his injury? Haven't seen the 3rd movie , after the first two I didn't hate Rey , I just didn't care. If I've reached that point where if I'm no longer part of the target audience , I'll move on to other enjoyable ways I can spend my time . |
| Topic | Why does everyone hate Rey? |
| robbobmur 07/11/20 10:26:07 AM #34 | EvilMegas posted... Honestly, 2 years of training to become on par with the second most powerful force user is pretty bullshit too. Vader wasn't trying to kill Luke, he was trying to turn him, so he wouldn't be using his full power. Keylo had no reason to let Rey live during their first battle, and if he was so deep into the dark side that he could kill his father , he should have easily dispatched Rey despite his injury. |
| Topic | Favorite ice cream flavors |
| robbobmur 07/09/20 5:38:15 PM #28 | Red_Frog posted... Pistachio. We used to have pistachio pudding when I was a kid, I don't recall ever seeing it in an ice cream flavor. But , there are only a few flavors and brands I like , so I don't really scan the entire section when shopping. |
| Topic | Pepsi sucks |
| robbobmur 07/08/20 5:17:26 PM #16 | Greenfox111 posted... honestly i couldn't tell the difference unless i tried them both one right after another Is this because you don't regularly drink either? I find their taste distincly different. I like Dr.Pepper. I'll pick up some orange vanilla coke when my local store has it , but I need to put it in the freezer to get it a little icy , it takes the tartness out of the orange and lets a little more vanilla flavor out. I liked Pepsi more than Coke as a kid , but now I rarely drink Pepsi.( usually only a restaurants that only serve it.) |
| Topic | What's the most money you have ever paid for a watch? |
| robbobmur 06/13/20 6:26:42 PM #16 | Nothing that I remember, my last two watches were anniversary reward from work and a gift from my father for being his best man. All my watches as a kid were gifts also. I didn't wear watches much , and with the amount of clocks , phones , and other time keeping devices that have been everywhere the last 40 years , it seems wasteful to spend money on a watch. |

| Topic | Does your employer pay you for unused vacation days after you leave? |
| robbobmur 06/08/20 4:04:53 PM #16 | We get paid for any unused personal and vacation time yearly at our hire date anniversary. If you give notice , you get your vacation but not your personal hours. |
| Topic | How many people here have actually played....Superman 64? |
| robbobmur 06/07/20 10:40:19 PM #5 | Going through those rings was so D boring. And the rest of the game wasn't much better. I think I finished it. I'd have to check whether I have it or played it as a rental. |
| Topic | Do you care about stories in video games? |
| robbobmur 06/04/20 12:16:28 PM #8 | A good story enhances a game with fun / good gameplay, but it is meaningless if the game play is lacking . |
| Topic | Do any of you use q tips to get ear wax out of your ears? |
| robbobmur 06/03/20 3:58:35 AM #25 | I use the soft earplugs at work that keep my ears cleaned out. The first day back to work after a vacation or our twice yearly shutdown week always yields some rather gooey wax build-up on the tips when I remove them. |
| Topic | Ohio Girl is accused of INCEST because she has 12 TOES and WEBBED FEET!!! |
| robbobmur 05/30/20 9:26:25 AM #13 | Webbed toes , usually just the 3rd & 4th toes on one foot , run on the females in my mother's family. I've got one middle toe that is a little misshapped and sits on top of the fourth toe while on the other foot is normally formed and aligned. |
| Topic | I hate Flo |
| robbobmur 05/29/20 5:08:00 PM #25 | FourthDimension posted... I dont necessarily hate the character, but those commercials arent funny or entertaining in any way. They were cute and funny at first , but there comes a time where they need a new gimmick , and that was a few years ago. The lite beer commercials from the 70s & early 80s had a couple clunkers after a lot of good ads and knew it was time to let it end. |
| Topic | Did you like married with children more or seinfeld? |
| robbobmur 05/28/20 10:04:36 AM #54 | Black_Crusher posted... Al: "SHOT ME A SQUIRREL, FOR LOOKIN' AT MY GOLD!!" Don't forget "4 touchdowns in one game." They tried an All in the Family remake with a black family during the 90s , I don't think it lasted half a season. |
| Topic | Did you like married with children more or seinfeld? |
| robbobmur 05/26/20 11:34:36 PM #38 | captpackrat posted... I was never a big fan of Married With Children, though the episode with the ashes in the grill just about killed me. They didn't clean the grill , Peggy knocked it over spilling the old ashes. The kids see her puffing away on cigarettes , trying to replace them. Peggy then sends the kids looking through the neighbors stuff for replacement ashes. Peggy has other duties to take care of , whilst the kids are looking. |
| Topic | Did you like married with children more or seinfeld? |
| robbobmur 05/26/20 12:59:26 PM #30 | CaptainObvius posted... Never really cared for Seinfeld. Married with children on the other hand always made me laugh. JLD and Jason are the only two on Seinfeld I found tolerable. MWC , Night Court , That 70s Show , and WKRP are my favorite comedies . |
| Topic | Yay or Nay: McDonald's Breakfast |
| robbobmur 05/25/20 3:18:27 PM #18 | Lokarin posted... I really like their pancakes, 10/10 pancakes. Yeah, but you really have to do something wrong to screw up pancakes. Like I did the other day , put a little too much oil in the pan. Hash browns are good too. Rarely will I eat eggs or cheese. |
| Topic | should every child experience a disney theme park at least once? |
| robbobmur 05/14/20 4:49:59 PM #9 | My mother took me to Disneyworld when I was 13. My memory may be failing me , but I remember the tickets being limited to one ride per attraction. I much preferred going to Kings Island or Cedar Point to ride my favorites as many times as I could get on. |
| Topic | Your employer treats you to lunch... |
| robbobmur 05/09/20 8:38:25 AM #29 | Treat others like you want to be treated. If you don't want to be taken advantage of , don't do it to others when the situation arises . As far as employer situation , always assume you'll be judged on your actions . Act like every situation is a promotion interview . |

| robbobmur 04/07/20 5:10:25 PM #21 | Got Wendys drive thru after grocery shopping last week , my little town only has a Pizza King in it .And a Subway(yuck) at the gas station. Otherwise , I'm cooking since I'm off and the wife is working. |
| Topic | How do you consider money left in cart slots? |
| robbobmur 04/05/20 12:52:20 PM #22 | dancer62 posted... Your wallet, purse, house, and vehicle are not abandoned in the middle of the parking lot because you're too lazy to return them to the corral and reclaim your quarter. The cart is the property of the business , not the customer. TC's statement is his OP , was that since noone was using it , it was okay to take it. I am questioning the OP , since neither the quarter or the cart is TC's , would TC feel the same way about his belongings ? If TC loses his wallet in a public place , would he prefer that it was returned to him intact or would he just shrug it off if as finders keepers if any cash or cards were gone once somebody returned the wallett? |
| Topic | How do you consider money left in cart slots? |
| robbobmur 04/05/20 10:23:01 AM #15 | DiduXD posted... Title. I consider it free to take as long as no one's using the cart. Are the contents of your wallet , purse , house , or vehicle free for the taking when you're not using them or are physically present? |
| Topic | Something to keep in mind if the worst should happen... |
| robbobmur 04/04/20 10:26:30 PM #15 | GanonsSpirit posted... You could also donate your body to science. That's what they did with my aunt, but there has to be a facility that wants the remains. If it's not prearranged you may not find a place that will accept the remains. If noone will take the remains , you have to find other means of disposal. |
| Topic | Most of my colleagues dont use their full vacation, they sell it back to work |
| robbobmur 04/01/20 3:05:51 PM #5 | I work in a manufacturing facility , and we get paid for any unused personal time at the end of our personal calendar year. Also we get a perfect attendance bonus quarterly for not using personal time. Our vacation time increases with certain anniversary milestones (2 weeks after 3 yrs, 3 after 9 , 4 after 15). While most use all their vacation time except for a day or two for an unexpected emergency, it usually at the extremes for how people use their personal hours. Either they take everything or they try not to use any to get the additional bonus money. And a fair number of those that use all personal time frequently time out and get fired. It did help a little when management increased the time new hires were allotted due to the high turnover during an employee's first year. |

| robbobmur 03/29/20 10:15:33 PM #12 | captpackrat posted... Ever notice that the only person in Mayberry who is married is Otis, the town drunk? The mayor was married, the couple who fought in S1 , the couple who Andy delivered their baby , Ken Berry's character was married, the spoiled kid with the bike had parents , Jack Dobson's character got married- just some off the top of my head. Thelma Lou got married and then married Barney after being widowed , Andy and Helen married. |

| Topic | Drive in movie theaters |
| robbobmur 03/22/20 3:57:28 PM #19 | Most of the drive-ins that I grew up with closed one by one through the 80s , 90s , & 00s. They were great for triple feature night at reasonable prices , and when they went from those crappy speakers to radio broadcast for audio, that made it a more pleasurable experience. But , once they started opening the multi-plexes with 6 or mores theaters, the drive-ins couldn't compete vs. the time when there were only 2 or 3 theaters in the surrounding area. In areas with consistently good weather , there is probably a place for drive-ins, but the market for them is very limited. |
| Topic | Has your employer shut down |

Update: We've shut down for next week ( currently scheduled to resume operation on the 30th) due to our customers delaying orders due to their shutdown. We're being paid 60% of our base , and management will make decisions on a weekly basis. |
| Topic | I made 50 cents today by taking two Aldi carts back to the corral. |
| robbobmur 03/21/20 6:41:05 PM #19 | adjl posted... It's less that people who leave a quarter behind are lazy and more that people who can't be bothered to walk ten feet to put their goddamn cart away are lazy. The quarter is largely incidental. Yeah, I've have seen far too many people leave their carts anywhere at Walmart, but at our Aldis people usually take the carts back and many wave off the quarter when the next person offers as they take a cart from the returnee. But I'm amazed when people at work aren't curtious enough to wipe out the microwave, counter, or table where they eat and leave the mess for someone else. And I won't even mention some of the things I walked into the restroom and seen. Usually I write critical posts , then delete them without posting. I apologize TC , I should have done so in this instance. |
| Topic | What's your employer, City, Town. State doing |
| robbobmur 03/16/20 10:26:36 PM #11 | Employer has cancelled most trips to customers and suppliers, and our customers have cancelled their visits to us. We usually shutdown the first week of July, would not be surprised if that was moved up and extended and then we'd work during July. |

| robbobmur 03/16/20 10:16:03 PM #20 | It took me years to be able to swallow a big one, after always chewing even the small ones until I was an adult. But, I could swallow a large mouthful of food without any trouble. |

| Topic | I made 50 cents today by taking two Aldi carts back to the corral. |
| robbobmur 03/15/20 5:59:36 PM #12 | argonautweakend posted... The system is based on people putting in a quarter only to get it back later. The quarter isn't really Aldi property. Somebody didnt push the cart ten feet to get theirs back, for whatever reason. I did. If anything, the argument should be that I stole somebody elses quarter, but they seemed to have willingly given it up. But , you felt the need to create a topic about 50 cents and call the people who leave a quarter lazy. Yeah, I'm being a bit of an ass , but you created the topic. |

| robbobmur 03/15/20 5:51:16 PM #11 | DukeRaouI posted... He did a good deed by returning the carts and got a couple of quarters as a reward. Most people would do the same. Just because your mom and dad support you, dont hate on someone else for doing something nice and getting a monetary reward for it. I support myself and my parents taught me that you do nice things for people to be nice and not to expect any reward for doing the right thing . |

| Topic | I made 50 cents today by taking two Aldi carts back to the corral. |
| robbobmur 03/15/20 5:32:13 PM #6 | argonautweakend posted... Either people are lazy or they leave them out for people who forgot a quarter. People usually hand off the quarter to the shoppers coming out as they go in , others just leave the quarter as a gesture of kindness. If you're that desperate for free money , just dress like a bum and holdup a sign detailing some poor situation you find yourself in , and you can take advantage of other good natured people who are probably no better off than you. |

| Topic | Grocery stores are slashing hours... |
| robbobmur 03/15/20 9:46:22 AM #20 | Once our Wal-mart was the only major grocer in the area, they went from 24hr to a 6AM to midnite store. That was late 2018 or early 2019 . The Meijer in the neighboring county we frequent was slighty more busy than the usual Sat.morning traffic. My wife did call first to make sure they got their usual 6AM truck before we made the trip. Went to IHOP before Meijer and they had removed all the condiments from the tables and brought out any thing you needed in those little plastic single serve cups. The wait staff also were wearing plastic gloves. |
