Having worked food service for a lot of years, I was on tenterhooks the entire time...

Cameriere al top!!

Think of an activity you love to do. Get the image firmly set in your mind. There will come a day when you do that activity for the very last time. Odds are you will not realize it is for the last time. How would you view it differently if you knew?

I still have mine. I fire it up about once a year. Still works!

I don't remember the name, but it was something on the ARPANET.

But where did the delivery person leave this note???

I'm still in school. 7th grade this year. But that's fine, because I'm not a student, I'm the teacher. This is my 32nd year of teaching science. I love my job!

it’s crazy how i don’t know what any of you do for school/uni/work? who are you guys outside of tumblr? what do you work as?? 

When I was in high school, back in the late 1970's, my friends and I would take the bus home each day. We were the typical D&D nerds, with all that and the late 70's implies. We would mess around on the bus, having fun and causing irritation to the rich kids who couldn't drive to school because they were either too young or had their license revoked (There were a surprising number of the latter. )

After we messed around enough, the richies would chide us for acting oddly. They would call us names. So we ran with it. A sample:

My friends and I up to our usual nonsense. Rich kid points at me accusingly: "You're strange!"

Me, pointing to my friend: "No, I'm Weird. He's Strange!"

My friend pointing to his brother: "Yes! I'm Strange, and this is my brother Maladjusted!"

There were up to a dozen of us, all sporting odd monikers, just to further annoy the straights. We'd all introduce ourselves, and bring the level of irritation to a crescendo. It was great fun.

They really hate being called 'weird,' huh?

I've been a teacher for over 30 years. One of my greatest points of pride is the fact that one of my former students is now an engineer for JPL. She helped design and build parts of the Curiosity rover, and was management on Perseverance. Every time I hear about Mars rovers, I kvell just a bit.

Awfully vague. As pets, primarily dogs and cats. As food, many fish and some birds. For humor, amphibians on top.

What if it turns out that you CAN take it with you? Those Egyptian pharaohs are still going to be living like kings, and the rest of us will be like "Well, shit!"
