closed caption/subtitles are getting too common

Disagree. I wish they had theater showings with them. If you go at 3:30pm, it has subtitles and if you go at 4pm, no subtitles, for example.

Mattress commercials. Like, I get it that logically they need to not put sheets on the mattress during the commercial but seeing some lady meditating on her un-sheeted mattress is just ridiculous. I dunno about you guys, but where I come from, doing anything on a bare mattress was the best way to get a whippin' from your mama

There was a period of my life where I rawdogged the mattress (laying on the floor) for probably over a year.

You should come over to my house. You'd love it. My kids are always leaving the cc on the tv. It's enraging. But you'd like it.

I’ve done that too and honestly I’m not sure if there is any impact on performance. I suppose maybe the mattress is a bit better ventilated when on a frame but I’m not sure it makes an appreciable difference

My initial reaction to new Kansas license plates is they are Angkor Wat. I know it's not but I always think it and it peeves me

I wonder if subtitles aren't partly to blame for all of the easter eggs in tv shows these days. I feel like I'm missing stuff without them. Maybe they were always there and I missed them before by not using subtitles.

Body sweat and dead skin are the reasons to use sheets. Keeps the stank from the mattress. Wash your sheets, heathens.

I've been to your house, dum-dum. And I DID love it, even without watching TV to confirm your fam uses subtitles!

Hot tub edge sitters.

If you're hot, GTFO of the hot tub completely and let others enjoy it.

Picturing IPA sitting on a bench somewhere on a boat glaring at people not sitting in the hot tub and posting here made me LOL.

When they switched the KS Turnpike/I-70 toll from pay in person to online my account got messed up somehow. I have two vehicles and they only have one vehicle on that account. When I log in to pay my bill it says I don't have any charges so I have to wait until I get the mailed statement and pay an extra $1.50 or something and I can't set up autopay because my account doesn't actually get charged. 

I've tried to add my other vehicle to my account but it says that the license plate is associated with another account but there is no way to request that account info/password reset etc. Both vehicles are registered to me at the same address and I just don't want to spend 30 minutes on the phone with the KS Turnpike to get it all figured out.

 :shakesfist:

Finally got around to calling them and getting it sorted out. 10 minutes on hold but once I got someone on the line they got it fixed in like 5 minutes.

Look at you. :Wha:

Have we discussed people who don't understand the most basic manners for school music concerts?
Sit still.
Be quiet.
Make the kids who are with you sit still and be quiet.
Do not get up and move around during a song unless you believe that you are having a medical emergency that would cause you to die in the next ten minutes.
Happened again at my kid's choir concert last night. The students were performing this acapella version of "Stand By Me" and this kid was just howling away thru the quiet part of the song. If your child can't stay quiet, they need to stay home or stay outside the auditorium with you until they can be quiet.

Not sure if this is the correct thread but can we relax with the salt distribution? Even after the snow melts the entire city is covered in an inch of salt. It gets on everything. Shoes, cars, you name it.

We are overusing salt for winter storms.
