We have a 2 story building and no elevator. Badge to get in doors but once you're in, you're in.

They had vinylmation for awhile but it's gone. Lots of cute kids clothes. I'm waiting for the 55th stuff to start trickling in... but with the 50th ears just showing up I think I'll just go buy it at the park rather than waiting 5 years.

I tend to take the stairs any time I can. At my hubby's work, I use the elevator so that the receptionist can use her badge to punch the button for his floor. If I took the stairs I'd have to have my own badge, and of course I don't work there.

Sounds correct to me. I guess people aren't used to proper English. What kind of tea? And yes, steep is the correct word and spelling.

See, people like to say I can't cook or anything. My sis in law brought me some tea and I asked her 'How long should I let it steep?' Brought out a bout of laughter from the peanut gang. While I flipped them off I felt I was right in asking as I wanted it to be the taste she wanted me to have.

That's quite correct. If you want to avoid the derision of the peanut gang, you could ask "How strong would you like it?" or you could always ask if your SIL is "A Jiggler Or A Dangler"* There is also This classic Jiggler Dangler ad. There is also the slightly racist feeling 1982 version.

*Jigglers like to repeatedly dip their teabags in and out of the water in an effort to achieve a strionger cup of tea in a shorter time. Danglers are the ones that just let the tea quietly steep on it's own without human intervention. A weaker cup results, but at least you don't 'bruise the leaves'. If you haven't checked out both the links yet, please do so, as they are fine 80's kitsch examples of Aussie Advertising.

Hey, have those die-cast ride vehicles from the 50th shown up at the warehouse? I have a complete set I'm going to get rid of some day soon. I'm hoping they haven't been available for a while.

[BarTopDancer]

I haven't seen them. It's mostly kids clothes and bags.

Today I learned that there exists a cheat that would allow one to continue a game of Super Pitfall on NES after losing all of one's lives.

Consider my world rocked.

I work on the 3rd floor and prefer to take the stairs. The biggest issue is that the stairwells have become the preferred location for people to conduct private cell phone conversations. So I get a little exercise while feeling like I'm intruding in someone's private life. Most conversations are in Farsi, Vietnamese, Armenian, or something else I don't understand so my discomfort isn't really necessary.

The Long Beach aquarium had a members' party tonight with a Polynesian theme. We went, we ate, and we got up to dance and made fools of ourselves. It was great fun! We should do this more often.
