It's a room that those people in Tornado zones have, I think. I've been in a house that had one.

Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

I've heard of such things but was certain they were just a myth until I was in my teens and visited a relative up north (north being a relative term). They simply don't exist in this area of the country.Quoth Seshat View PostIt's a room that those people in Tornado zones have, I think.

When I was in CA, basements were rare. One good quake and your house would fall in. But here everyone has one. Well, not me; I live in a apartment.
Mathnerd, your story had me literally
and snorting. I probably would've reacted the same way.

It's pretty likely the cashier has seen weirder things than a jogger buying cigarettes. My favorite is selling packs to medical professionals while they are wearing their scrubs.Comment

Congrats on the weight loss! My goal is to lose 100 lbs in a year's time from the date I started. I lost 6 pounds the first week, and my weekly loss has slowed down gradually since then. I think some of the slow down is muscle building, since my clothes are getting bigger on me than my weight loss would suggest.Quoth celticgrl View Post
Cai, I'm sure they see weird things all the time. I've mentioned in other posts that I spend a lot of time in hospitals because of my boys' medical need. The number of pulmonary ICU staff I find out in the smokers' corners is astonishing. You'd think they, of all people, would be the militant anti-smokers!
Food Lady, I'm glad I could give you a smile for the day!

She should see some of the navy chiefs I've met. Back before the USN cracked down on smoking during PT... some of them use to love smoking WHILE running... And, to add insult to injury, some of the younger men couldn't keep up!. I think the juxtaposition of a jogger asking for a pack of smokes made her brain explode.
