Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

Looking for old posts, you find the most interesting posts.

I used to be the nicest person on earth. Everyone said my only fault was that I was too nice.

Now I am a mean, old, crotchety, set in my ways, harpie. I prefer the dark and would be happy living in a cave.

I enjoy gourmet cooking, gardening, astronomy and ancient history. I am owned by a cat that runs an illegal possum smuggling ring and a canine fruitbat.

Evo and I, are apparently twins, separated at birth...

Sorry Evo, this means we can't get married.

Unless of course... <inappropriate banjo reference music deleted>

Trying to get back into running after stopping a month ago; the high afterwards is addicting. Some quality new shoes I recently bought make it seem more inviting. And chronic burnout make it seem necessary; other cardio workouts seem too mild in terms of results. I see some friends who seem to get by exercise-wise by just walking, even if they do it for 40 minutes or so, at a good rate, I can't see how walking would work for someone young.

I just found out PMoscow was not the capital of Prussia. Michelle Pfeiffer said so.

... there are the aches, pains, syndromes and indignities that come with age. Our prostates act up. Our once ironclad stomachs get delicate. We have more trouble sleeping. For a full list of all of the maladies that beset men as they age, just watch the pharmaceutical commercials during the evening news: Acid reflux. Joint pain. Erectile dysfunction. Frequent urination. (No wonder we get so easily pissed off.)

The reasons behind Grumpy Old Man syndrome

I'm not sure I agree with these reasons, but for what ever reasons, I wear my grumpiness like a badge. I figure after all these years, I've earned it. Just sayin'

It's raining almost everyday over here. I love it. :!)

Hey, you crackpots, get off my Physics Forums!

Polish nationalists sung anti-gay slogans to The Village People's "Go West" tune. Go figure.

My family thinks its cute to call me "doctor" now. I just entered the Phd program (with only a bachelors) I think it's a bit of an insult to people that have worked their *sses off to get through grad school. I have to convey this thoughtfully.

Lucky you, I doubt I can even manage to enter one after my masters with the grades I'm getting right now...

Bah, grades shmades. Are you working your *** off? Do your professors know this? Then you can get into a grad program SOMEWHERE.

When you lose you teeth you are said to be visited by a tooth fairy. Does it mean you are visited by a hair fairy when you get bold?

I would have nothing against $1 for every hair I lost.

The fairy business (actually a non profit organization) should also account for inflation, these are hard times after all :(

Back in the old days, you could stop at a gas station and put air in your tire for free. Then, it cost $0.25. Then it cost $1.00, and I just saw one for $2.00. Sigh. Inflation².

Yous have it easy we have to pay 5€ if we want to go to the booth where they have pumps, gauges etc. Nobody cares if you even do anything, maybe just gauge the pressure in your tires - 5€

Love the graphs :D

I believe the phrase is "I see what you did there."

If you look carefully there's still places where you can get it for free.

Super lucky here - our apartment is right next to the maintenance building. This has many benefits, including unlimited use of an air compressor, 10 feet from where our car is parked.

And even when you have lost 90% of your hair, you still have to comb the remaining 10% every day, not once every 10 days.

 

[Borek]

I cut them so close to the skin, there is no need to comb.

 

[DennisN]

Glad people enjoyed the graphs. I liked them too .

Totally unrelated, making a small note to myself:
The next time I hear someone say we only use 10% of our brain, I must remember to ask that person which 90% he/she would like to have removed.

his riches probably come from Windows Millenium Edition a.k.a Windows More Errors.

I did my good deed for the day. I just stopped a young boy from trying to climb into a curb sewer with a 10 foot drop inside. He wanted to recover a superball that went in.

Wow! You probably saved that kid's life!

It is still frustrating to try to precycle , i.e., to avoid using bags, paper, etc. when it seems unnecessary. Every time I return a bag, paper, etc. to the people at the store, say a large bag that contains something I can carry in my pocket, they just take it and throw it in the trash. So I often end up with my backpack full of napkins, plastic bags, etc. which I throw out (just kidding) recycle at home.
