Behodar:

I was just behind a couple of polite kids in line at the dairy. The dairy owner gave them a 25% discount because they didn't have enough money between them.

Well done - the customers of tomorrow. :-)

That silky smooth new mouse and new mouse pad feel.

That 5 days after our kittens are allowed outside, the litter tray inside hasn't been touched for 24+ hours!

Have you checked under the bed or behind the couch?

April fools jokes.

- We have a family competition on this day. First to call the other person and wish them happy birthday wins. It's mostly between grandkids and grandparents and usually involves using a phone with a number that isn't recognized by the receiving party.

- I bought a large Cadbury Favourites box last night. Going to empty the contents, fill it with celery sticks and put it in the lunchroom at work.

Self-isolating (well - group isolating, really) and needing stuff from Countdown: jumped online and they can deliver tomorrow morning!

I really expected it to be a several-day wait, which would have put this in the other thread...but instead, here I am smiling.

It's really changed from the lockdown days, where it was just a complete nightmare.

@freitasm hope you're all doing OK and continuing to test negative?

Yes, thanks. Last day SMS arrived for my wife, no symptoms for me - will do a RAT later today.

That sounds cool but that just means your cats are 💩 somewhere else, possibly in your neighbours' sections!

Full disclosure: I have two cats that I like to think go in my property but can't guarantee it! On the other hand, I'm sure the other cats in my neighbourhood feel equally ambivalent about location.

Doing buy/sell trades with fellow Geekzoners. It's so good to deal with grown-ups.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

The underdog winning. CALL OF DUTY LEAGUE SPOILER

I'm an avid fan of the Call of Duty League and the Los Angeles Guerrillas just completed one hell of a victory at the second major. One of their best players pulling out of the tournament due to sickness; coming through the losers bracket with a substitute; everyone thinking they were going to finish 10th-12th; outplaying Faze in the final. They just earned themselves 200k in prize money.
