RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Sally could be "Sally the Grammarian".

I approve, too!


message 59: by Lori (new)

Lori Sally, not to worry, I no longer bathe every day either. I used to back in the day, but if I don't stink, why dry my skin out? Also, I think that people wash their hair far too often. I'm lucky that I have dry hair, so can get away with it without washing often, but I do stretch it out because frankly I HATE washing my hair. That means I have to shower, whereas I do love my baths.


message 60: by Lori (new)

Lori Who should I be????


message 61: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Lori the Authoritarian.


message 62: by Lori (new)

Lori YIKES!

Is that really how I appear? I HATE THAT!

Well, I am a Leo, and therefore quite bossy. And my son does call me the general. Not in a kind way...

I agree, baths are divine, but I use them for relaxation and reading, not for "cleaning" myself. That is a nice side-effect.


message 64: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) No that just popped in my head. Maybe it's the picture. But if the shoe fits ....


message 65: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Lori the Agrarian?


message 66: by Lori (new)

Lori Lori the Meek and Mild?

Ha!


message 67: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments is Seattlarian a word?


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Lori the Leo.


message 69: by Lori (new)

Lori Ha! Purrrrrfect.

Lori the Sequesterian



message 71: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments so my word wasn't a word?


message 72: by Lori (new)

Lori I use Seattlite. Not that I'm sure it's a word.

Um. How do I change my name in this group?

I know there's a way to change my name only in this group and not my others...


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Only if you're a moderator, Lori. Otherwise, you change your name in your profile.


message 74: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i dunno. i think i globally changed mine. but then again i am only in this group


message 75: by Lori (new)

Lori Thanks Jackie, I was just beginning to suspect that might be the answer.


message 76: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I was going to suggest Larry become "Larry the Rastafarian" but he would have to commit to a rather different life/hairstyle.


message 77: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments ya mon


message 78: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) You'll have to give me some time to work into that role. No really ... I can do it.

I subscribe to this school of bathing as well. It works perfectly for me.


message 80: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Unitarian? No, that won't work ....

Yay! Logan and Lori are in my camp.


message 84: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) laboratorian!


message 85: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments wow RA, you truly can find anything on the internet. [now searching for words that rhyme with purple or orange:]

You definitely could, Random. When I was working I was like you - had to have that morning shower to wake up. Now I do it naturally.

Even with self checkout, they still need one employee to stand there and make sure everything is working smoothly. The past few times I've done self checkout something went wrong and the employee had to reboot the system.

In the future I see every American job as being in either financial services, healthcare, or fast food.

Susan | 6406 comments The checkout officiate also is called to assist if you have coupons or need to show ID for your purchase.

Bathing or showering is one of my favorite things to do daily.

The CVS scanner scans coupons itself. But several times apparently it didn't "feel" the coupon being dropped in the hole so an employee had to assist.


message 90: by Susan (new)

Susan | 6406 comments I get so mad when the bag (the sensor under the bag) does not feel the item being placed inside of it. I end up slam dunking my purchases to insure success.


message 91: by janine (new)

janine | 7709 comments Poor purchases.
