My salads are always surprisingly taciturn. I have no idea why.

My older brothers house got broken into and robbed last night while he was at work at the fire department. I'm thankful he wasn't there and more importantly that his 4 children weren't there.

Thank goodness for that much. Such a broken world...

P.S. Loving the new avatar, Pipp!

My salad told me some really lame jokes so I tossed it! :p
Better than tossing your cookies I guess...

Three points to Olerica for use of "taciturn" in a sentence. Glad I'm not the only one with such vocabulary.

Should I sing while I sit here at the laundromat as I watch my clothes taciturn? (Dont wanna cause the other patrons stomachs to taciturn!)

You are right, as usual. I find if I watch too much tv it keeps me up at night; all I do is taciturn and taciturn...

$300?? Good grief! No virus removal or even reinstalling Windows procedure should cost that.

PM me if you would like some advice. I can even remote into the computer to help you get rid of whatever is there, if you're willing to cast your trust that far (totally won't take offense if you say no to that offer).
Wild thing, I'll vouch for Siberian's trustworthiness... I've never let him into my computer, lol, but he's a good guy.

(Duh, PopClick, Spider-Man is always the good guy. :rolleyes:)

They charge WHAT?!! For a wipe and replaced I would charge maybe 8 bucks. And that's only for the experience required to know what buttons to press to trigger a wipe and replace. It wouldn't even take an appreciable amount of my time, I would be doing other stuff while it was running.

You just made my day. :D (But I'm still not doing that thing you asked me to do. :p)

So I just read about NY being set to pay fast food workers $15 an hour.

Now, I'm all for the advancement of people's quality of life (and as a teen, I worked at McD's myself), but I wonder if people who push for this realize that wages and prices are always a circular equation. If you raise people's pay to $15 an hour, you are going to have to raise prices and find another way to cut labor in order to stay in business.

The last time I bought a "Value Meal" it was around $8. What's going to happen if that same meal jumps up to, let's say, $10 or more?

I wonder how many fast food franchises this is going to put out of business. As it is, many lose money during the slow seasons and rely on the busy seasons to turn enough profit to carry them all throughout the rest of the year.

Or, maybe it's just me (after all, I did get a "B" in microeconomics)... but I'll be curious to see.

Low wages suck. I understand that. But what happens if low wages jumping to decent wages means a lot of people will be out of jobs instead? I wonder why no one seems to realize that $15 an hour doesn't help much when they cut you down to 6 hours a week. (Kind of like Obamacare... employers simply cut hours enough so that barely anyone had enough hours to qualify... at least in the places I've seen.)
