| _stink_ | just got power back an hour ago | 20:24 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink_ | we were out since sunday morning | 20:25 |
| greg-g | wow | 20:26 |
| rick_h_ | _stink_: ouch, glad you're back in action | 20:27 |
| rick_h_ | my inlaws lost for most of sunday but had it back that night | 20:27 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Ugh. That sucks | 20:27 |
| rick_h_ | I didn't know it was still going on | 20:27 |
| cmaloney | we had some flickering over here. | 20:27 |
| cmaloney | so you must be over by the south-end of Royal Oak then | 20:27 |
| * cmaloney is blanking on the actual location | 20:28 | |
| _stink_ | we're right by the high school... wrapped up in the outage that impacted much of clawson | 20:28 |
| cmaloney | Oh right | 20:28 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, that whole area was goofed up | 20:28 |
| cmaloney | Though when we got back from Meijer 34 we came down 14 mile. When we left it wasn't up. When we got back last night it was | 20:29 |
| cmaloney | (Yes, I remember Meijer store numbers.) | 20:29 |
| jrwren | How do you even know store numbers? | 20:29 |
| _stink_ | haha. | 20:30 |
| _stink_ | now.. what to do with the freezer stuff. | 20:30 |
| _stink_ | that's mostly rhetorical | 20:30 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Well, I worked at that Meijer in Royal Oak for many a summer | 20:31 |
| jrwren | oh man, the blackout of 2001 was so fun. I got to eat so much ice cream that first night of hte outage! :) | 20:31 |
| cmaloney | so.. um... | 20:31 |
| cmaloney | They print the store number on the receipt | 20:31 |
| _stink_ | hah, we chugged the milk at 5pm on sunday | 20:31 |
| cmaloney | the one in Madison Heights is 222 | 20:31 |
| * cmaloney dates himself by noting that he worked at Meijer when they had a bottle return staffed by people. | 20:32 | |
| cmaloney | and a party pantry | 20:32 |
| greg-g | what's a party pantry, grandad? | 20:32 |
| cmaloney | and pet and garden when they had hamsters and pets weren't over by grocery | 20:32 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: It's like a party store inside Meijer that had an outside door | 20:33 |
| cmaloney | so folks could get their 40oz before / after work | 20:33 |
| _stink_ | greg-g++ | 20:33 |
| cmaloney | I remember when Meijer had an electronics departmet at the front of the store | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | and an arcade | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | and an Oasis where you could leave your children | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | unsupervised | 20:34 |
| greg-g | good old fashioned abductions | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, none of these new-fangled social media luring | 20:35 |
| greg-g | :) | 20:35 |
| cmaloney | just make a selection in the middle of Meijer and off you go | 20:35 |
| cmaloney | One Stop Shopping at the M.T.A. | 20:35 |
| cmaloney | (Meijer Thrifty Acres) | 20:35 |
| cmaloney | wow, that turned dark quick. | 20:36 |
| cmaloney | Anywho... um... yeah, that's how I know the store numbers. | 20:37 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Glad you got power back. | 20:38 |
| _stink_ | nice try, changing the subject :P | 20:38 |
| cmaloney | Was it that obvious? :) | 20:38 |
| rick_h_ | hah | 20:38 |
| rick_h_ | "look everyone! puppies!" https://photos.app.goo.gl/kzhY5wPo1w548tyD3 | 20:39 |
| jrwren | I missed where it went dark. | 20:39 |
| jrwren | Abductions? | 20:39 |
| jrwren | I've never heard of an abduction from a child care center at a retail store. I don't think they happen. | 20:40 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Awwwww!!!! | 20:40 |
| rick_h_ | damn sometimes I realize how spoiled amz has made things. I'm like "didn't I order something..." and have to go look it up because if it was amz it'd be here but for other places it takes 3 days just to ship | 20:40 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: I'm sure the fear was worse than the threat ever was | 20:40 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: yeah, Amazon really does spoil you | 20:41 |
| rick_h_ | I got a shipped notice on a thing I ordered last week I forgot I ordered | 20:41 |
| rick_h_ | oh...well that's good I guess | 20:41 |
| rick_h_ | yea, puppies! going to be a fun summer with the new puppy in the house (in 2months) | 20:42 |
| rick_h_ | like having a kid again...waking up the middle of the night, can't go places, etc. | 20:42 |
| _stink_ | you sell it so well | 20:43 |
| rick_h_ | I'm trying to prepare my wife | 20:43 |
| rick_h_ | she's forgotten how much work it was | 20:43 |
| rick_h_ | "OMG it's going to be amazing!" | 20:43 |
| rick_h_ | ummm yea...after I spent 8months training it :P | 20:44 |
| rick_h_ | until then guard your shoes! | 20:44 |
| _stink_ | hah | 20:44 |
| jrwren | ugh. | 20:49 |
| jrwren | that is why I don't have a dog. | 20:50 |
| jrwren | but then I see dogs and I really really want one. :) | 20:50 |
| rick_h_ | I've wanted this dog since I was about 10...only taken 30 years to finally get there | 20:51 |
| rick_h_ | so I'll take the work to get there. | 20:51 |
| cmaloney | Get a cat. They're like a dog that doesn't give a shit about you. :) | 20:51 |
| rick_h_ | don't, they freaking live forever, puke on the floor, and get hair on everything. biggest regret is getting our cats | 20:52 |
| * cmaloney <3s dogs but unfortunately my allergies prevent us from getting a dog. :) | 20:52 | |
| cmaloney | Aw c'mon. They're love-buckets. | 20:52 |
| cmaloney | Pixel managed to get into the turkey during thanksgiving and horked up on the kitchen floor when we had company over | 20:53 |
| * rick_h_ can't wait to be a cat-less house one day | 20:54 | |
| rick_h_ | but to each their own :P | 20:54 |
| cmaloney | heh | 20:54 |
| jrwren | can't do cats because of alergies. | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | You do realize they'll live to be 10 | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | 100 | 20:55 |
| jrwren | might not be able to do dogs either, but I might be willing to suffer. | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | yeah, cat allergies are common. | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | they're 12 now.... | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | and show no signs of dying | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | #@%$@%$#@'ers | 20:55 |
| jrwren | lol | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | My parents' cat lived to 20+ | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | oh stfu | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | I don't need to hear that | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | 12 is middle-age for a cat. :) | 20:55 |
| rick_h_ | I'm holding out hope that 2020 is a magical year of no cats :P | 20:55 |
| cmaloney | hahahahaha | 20:56 |
| cmaloney | not unless you have a pillow-case and a bucket of water | 20:56 |
| rick_h_ | see, the internet is full of crap. You ask it how long cats live and they say "Lifespan: 4 – 5 years" and then you notice... (In the wild) | 20:56 |
| jrwren | you could let your cats roam the neighborhood freely, killing birds and possibly getting picked up by coyotes. | 20:57 |
| rick_h_ | this is where I went wrong "Cats who spend significant unsupervised time outdoors tend to survive to be about 7 years old, while indoor-only cats can be expected to live to around 14 years of age." | 20:57 |
| rick_h_ | indoor cats, they should be illegal | 20:57 |
| rick_h_ | you end up in commitments you can't ever get out of | 20:57 |
| jrwren | lol | 20:57 |
| cmaloney | indoor cats are awesome | 20:58 |
| rick_h_ | someone send help to cmaloney, he's been hit on the head. Maybe fallen on some ice. | 20:58 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 20:58 |
| cmaloney | Nah, I've grown up with cats | 21:00 |
| _stink_ | our littermate cats are 14 | 21:01 |
| _stink_ | they... appear to be in perfect health | 21:01 |
| cmaloney | Honestly you need to have a sense of humor to be a cat person | 21:01 |
| _stink_ | enough to drag their anuses all over the floor and have hairballs on my bed. | 21:01 |
| cmaloney | because they will drive you mad | 21:02 |
| cmaloney | they're hyper-intelligent little assholes | 21:02 |
| _stink_ | our female punches my wife inthe face at 5am | 21:02 |
| cmaloney | Pixel has her routines | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | when she wants to be fed in the morning she becomes a little beast | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | there have been more than a few times that I've seen her sleeping on the chair and I want to get out some crash cymbals | 21:06 |
| cmaloney | payback is a bitch you sweet little piece of ... | 21:07 |
