Seems a simple enough solution to me.

The e-mail said "as long as we can keep the kids and our staff safe.

I'd make a call and ask what they are doing to ensure the safety of the kids and staff.

If folks agree with it, let their kids go. If not, keep them home.

Did that, their response?

We deep cleaned and the facility will be open to everyone.

Hence me stating they are clearly retarted.

My kid collects video game system.

Very expensive hobby.

But, we have Collico and Intellivision.

Super breakout is still the shit.

lol

A friend of mine had Intellivision back in the day. We used to play the football game all the time.

He beat me pretty good the first couple of times. Then I figured out a play he couldn't stop.

He wouldn't play me anymore after a while.

So, just to be an asshole, I showed his younger brother the play.

We're still friends to this day and he's still mad at me for that.

lol

My son has an X-Box and a Playstation 4 (I think) and an SNES. I think he might even still have my old Sega Genesis.

If I get bored enough, I might have to ask him if he still has my Sega or I might try the SNES.

We have been having these Game of Life battle royals.

Hasbro Family Game Night is the shit.

Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four are my lifelines.....lol

Someone paid mine.

Dunno who, APS won't say.

Just shows a $231.00 credit.

Thank you, Electric bill Fairy.

Weird that they won't say.

I haven't looked at mine yet. But I got a letter from SCE talking about some credit that I'm supposed to be getting for either March or April.

I assume everyone else got one too.

I know they had sent an e-mail or something back in March saying that they wouldn't be shutting off anyone's power for non-payment during this and everyone got that one.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Was there a game called Carnival on Colecovision? another I liked (other than baseball) started with a Z or X..any idea?

I dunno.....Zaxxon or Zenji?

Only games I play are Qbert, Donkey Kong and Frogger.I

Maaaaaaaaaybe a little centipede.

Yes, Carnival is on there.

 

[trojanfan12]

Pretty sure that came shortly before Colecovision, right?

Hell, I'm old enough to remember Pong.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.

Pong was pretty cool when it was the only thing you had. lol

I got a rebate from my Car Insurance yesterday.

FULL months payment.

Didn't even know that was a thing.

Thought someone was trying to scam me...lol

Schumer was just being a hack but the others are even more liable

Agree.

Outside of South Korea, no one has handled this thing particularly well. There is plenty of blame to go around and everyone deserves their portion.

But that can wait until this thing is well behind us.

Hopefully, when it is behind us, people won't really care who's to blame anymore...but I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.

Dunno if I've said this before...

But, I like it when you post here.

You are the bridge between the two extremes.

Yeah, I wouldn't send my kid either if they think that's enough.

You know I'm pretty middle of the road and even lean more towards lessening the restrictions sooner than later...but I also advocate being smart about it and that don't qualify.

Yeah, you know I revel in manufactured outrage.

In this case, Trump did some of the work for his critics.

It's just not important right now....well, for me.

How's about we shift some of that energy towards finding a solution?

We can tar and feather the politicians later.

Zaxxon was it. I used to play that, Donkey Kong, Carnival, baseball and I'm sure a few others. Can you still do the trick on the lowest ladder in DK? There was a move you could make where it got you right to the top. I think you go up one rung, come down then go back and jump forward maybe?

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was.

yep...we didn't know any better.

Don't know who your carrier is, but I remember seeing a commercial lately where at least 1 insurance company was doing that. Can't remember who it was though.

state Farm said we'll get 25-30% off March through May so close to a full payment I guess.

Yep.

I agree with what @msgkings322 said last night.

It's time to start loosening the reigns a bit.

But, like you stated, be smart about it.

Let's not undue the progress we made.

Seems like all the biggies are doing something. Don't need to do anything to get it. Just comes off the bill.

I have driven my car twice in the last 3 weeks.

I have a couple of 200cc scooters and have been using one of them to do my runs if I need to go to the store.

I'm lucky I can work from home and we decided as a company we will continue to do so I would think until at least June, no matter what Governor implements here.

Thanks Mecca

I still lean left but that gets harder every day

My dislike for both parties is just about equal now lol
