Umm. Smokers. When they pass by you and drag a cloud of smelly hell behind them. They don't realize they smell. Their clothes smell. Their hair smells. They all smell. To them, it's all frickin' dandy.

I came to the realization today that a fast moving LGP thread is just 20 guys standing around the lip of a well and shouting down into the blackness as loud as they can.

that's the worst, especially when I join the call late and am trying to act like I've been in the call the whole time

I used to be on a weekly ESRB anti-piracy conference call. The call normally lasted about an hour, and one week someone actually called in at the 50 minute mark. Why?

Nope, no one had left the call. (You get a tone when someone leaves the call just like when someone enters)

While this is annoying (as are all conference calls in general) it can be helpful in case you were going to talk smack about someone that you assumed would not be in the meeting

My wife started using lavender oil to help her sleep. It probably doesn't work and it makes my eyes itchy as I'm allergic to it. Happy wife happy life right? Right.

Has she tried melatonin? Probably far more effective.

It could be worse. My wife uses peppermint oil for her migraines (it def works), but if I get close it's like someone is spraying Vicks in my eyes.
