Nope. Don't blame her for nuttin!

OK, I might have to start a new thread for this, but this person cannot possibly be this stupid. They have to be trolling, correct? My wife thinks she is NOT trolling.

either way its not my cup of tea.

Flying thing is complete and total BS.

First, why would thay pressurize the cabin any more than normal!
When they call it a pressurized cabin it means the pressure is higher in the cabin than outside the cabin.
Not that the pressure is higher than it was when they closed the door to take off, ie normal.
So no, it does not compress your body.
Might as well say going over 100mph compresses your body against the seatback.

Yes they let air in the cabin because it has more oxygen than the stale air inside the cabin.
No they do not take the air from the engine exhaust, that is typically behind the plane.
And it is just Air, it is not processed to add nitrogen. Why would they, it is not a space ship or a diving bell (they use helium).
Air is already 79% nitrogen you are breathing right now!!! Ahhhhh.
You should be more concerned that they actually do open the fresh air vents!
If they do not the oxygen level drops enough to make everyone sleepy. Zzzzzzzz
Sleepy is about it though.

[Porsche-poor]

now there is a collection of random thoughts.

[flipper35]

They allow nitrogen in the plane, up to 50%! Can you believe it? Has to be a troll. If not, I hope procreation is not happening at that house. Whatever she eats, I want the opposite so I don't end up like that.

If not trolling, I wonder if she uses a pillow or if her head floats naturally?

[RKDinOKC]

Is 50% nitrogen like when you go to the dentist?

Good hump day morning all.

Pick it up guys, the thread was on page two! Gasp.

I made the long 12 step commute to work successfully once again. I kiss the wife goodby and make the long trek down the hall.

I heard back from my CPA who has heard from the IRS audit lady. She found some small errors but does not think it even warrants opening up the files to make adjustments. If her supervisor agrees then it is over. The CPA made a nice bonanza, I used up a small pine tree worth of paper and most of a toner cartridge. It cost me a week of detailed paper pushing. My fingers were sore at one point from sorting through paper. The skin on the tip of my fingers were raw and I almost wore off my fingerprints. In the end we had receipts for everything she wanted to see and proof of everything. I did learn to keep better records. I hope to never get the lucky draw of an audit again.

I guess my extraterrestrial friends managed to use the force on the IRS and convinced them I was not the droid they were looking for. The force was with me.

Good Morning for someone, just not here.

Have new pants got for looking better going into work since the skin graft issue.
Have laundered and ironed them here at the hacienda twice.
Didn't want to mess with ironing a pair so dropped a pair off at the local cleaners to be warshed and pressed. The cleaners SHRUNK my pants!. Tailored to fit trousers and now they look like I am trying to look like Irkle or ford some flood waters somewhere! AND one of the suspenders buttons is now gone! What the heck! $%#ing cleaners

[GH85Carrera]

As you know I am can't care less about the clothes I wear. My wife has sent me back to the closet more than once because some shirt does not match the pants. My brother is the same way. His wife lays out the "little flat man" on the bed if they are going out so he will wear something wife approved. I would hate the corporate structure of Dockers and and a long sleeved shirt with buttons or even worse, a suit! BTDT, did not like it.

[Porsche-poor]

morning all. Its Dockers and a polo for me.

[RKDinOKC]

Glad I only have to pay attention to dress code when I go on-campus for the weekly department meeting. Most meetings I attend with telepresence and only have to look the part from the waist up.

Was doing the typical dress casual with dockers and button down shirt, even though some do the golf polo shirt thing. After the disciplinary event decided to go all out and do the minimal executive look instead of "Office Casual". ie suit without the tie and jacket. Even though my nephew/CEO does the Steve Jobs t-shirt/sports coat or jacket and jeans thing. Making an executive statement.

When don't go on-campus for the department meetings addend by speaker phone or do telepresence using laptops. If telepresence just dress to on-site look from the waist up.

Still bummed that the cleaners ruined a new pair of dress trousers. They weren't cheap.

[RKDinOKC]

Holy Cow, this is the first time since message 300 that this thread has gone to the second page!

[flipper35]

Dockers and polo here but sometimes I get a wild hair and wear a long sleeved shirt.

Yesterday at new employee orientation I asked everyone for their full name, date of birth and either their SS# or credit card with the CV code. When they all resisted I asked them why they would have no problem giving that info to someone simply because it came in an email.

We have our bi-weekly directors meeting today in 20 minutes. Oh joy.

By the way, lets save money by replacing all our chalk boards with TVs so everyone can get the same information there that they get in their rooms and in the commons area TVs.

Everyone else having a good day. Chutes done?

Jim. Nevermind.

[Jim Richards]

Greetings from Dubrovnik! We arrived as the sun was going down over the Adriatic Sea. The view from our hotel room's patio...

[GH85Carrera]

Jim, don't jump in the pool! That pool cover looks suspicious.

[flipper35]

Looks like it could be used as a trampoline to me!

[Jim Richards]

Actually, that's not the pool. The pool is around the corner from our room. We can also use the Adriatic Sea as a pool. We're one level above the beach, and the grass you see is the roof over one area where you step out of the hotel and onto the beach. From what I can tell, that cover is just a shade they can open up to increase light to the level below, if they want to. Kind of strange.

[RKDinOKC]

Cleaners told me I needed to contact the place I bought the trousers. Told them they are the ones that washed and shrunk them trousers NOT the place I bought them. They fit just fine until THEY washed them. Said they would never see me in their crappy cleaners again.

They need to have a window somehow break out so they are out at least the cost of a pair of nice tailored slacks.

Especially since the young girl acted like she couldn't speak engrish. I call BS. She is young enough I bet she speaks perfect engrish when she wants to. The guys at the gas station next door said she speaks engrish just fine. #!@ch Trying to get rid of me speaking at me with a bunch of that ching chow crap.

[flipper35]

Richard, can we set up an employee exchange program?

[Porsche-poor]

Exchange? Two for one?
