Yesterday was my last evening of washing dishes at the burger place, and I got flowers and cake and appreciation.  :)

glad they showed you some appreciation :clap:
i bet they will miss you :roses:

I will miss them too. I will stop in for an occasional burger!  8)

Not really good, but kind of funny.

I "beat"  Muscles   (a young weight lifter I work with) in a handgrip contest. We had two people bet on "Gorilla Hands"  (that's me) and six people bet on Muscles (he is about twenty six, cute, ginger, solid, not smart).

I was about to call it quits (I am a bit too old for this shit, but only one guy knows how old I really am. He bet on my winning) or ask for a draw, when Muscles brought his other hand into the contest to "cheat."  At that point, I simply placed one finger of my other hand on a pressure point, practically paralyzing his hand, which allowed me to bend it backwards/sideways between his middle and ring fingers. I knew then, it was over, since he cheated, and I watched him grimace and try to be tough for a few seconds more. A tiny bit more pressure and he gave up, freaked out. He asked what the hell I had done to him. I just said, "You tried to cheat. I cheated back. You lose."

He said, "No, you made my hand die, WTF did you do to me? It still hurts."  I just reminded him that he had tried to cheat, by bringing in his other hand to win. I just touched a nerve and made his hand weak. I asked if he wanted to try again, without cheating. He said, "FUCK NO! You win."

 :laugh:

Never try to cheat on someone who knows more tricks than you do.

I threw out 2 black trash bags from the house.  The freezer is about 20% clean, in front of the stove is about 60% clean and we now have some clean dishes.  Also sorted one load of dried laundry and put another load in to wash, fed the family, and went to the grocery.   :2thumbsup:

I read in the newspaper that a little boy (now 7) went home from the New Orleans Children's Hospital.  He was hospitalized for over 460 days (from Nov 2009) because of complications from the H1N1 virus.  Unbelievable.

My composition teacher said that he likes my attitude toward technology.

And the topic that I made on the discussion board for one of my subjects has the most replies out of all the topics.

I am epic win.

Please describe the lunch. It must have been pretty good to merit being posted about!  :drool:

I won a division 6 in Oz Lotto. I don't know how much that is yet, probably $20 at most :)
