Some of my pins have error messages and credit dots that I have not dealt with because I am lazy.
Some of my pins have issues that I have diagnosed and purchased parts to repair, but have not repaired yet because I am lazy.

Too sick and doped up to work yesterday, and my first thought was "Woo hoo, pinball all day!"
Found out that heavy painkillers do not alter my ability my play.
Have a nasty sinus/tooth infection that makes eating nearly impossible and my face really hurts.
Antibiotics seem to be making good progress and the heavy duty painkillers are helping to make life livable.
But my pinball play is no better or worse on painkillers than without.
I'm sort of disappointed that there is no difference. I was really looking for an improvement.

Quoted from bicyclenut:I like to listen to Huey Lewis and the News from time to time.
In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:I confess. Do you remember y2k and everyone was stocking up on supplies?
The only thing I bought was 40 cases of beer.
And it all was consumed. Some of my friends ended up throwing away a lot of stuff they had stocked up on, but not me.
My sister in law worked in software for a large insurance company at the time. The company insisted that ALL the software folks had to be at work, on site at the company headquarters over New Year's Eve. They brought in standby generators, port-a-johns, and gave the employees flashlights. Sis in law said if things were so bad that she was going to the port-a-john by flaslight, she was leaving anyway. And then nothing happened all night, and they sent everyone home. Happy New Year!

Quoted from Murphdom:I’m going to get a ton of crap for this but I confess I hate the scoring on new games. “I scored 14 million on (insert game name here)” Why did game manufacturers go away from scoring 1,10,50,100,500 points? Maybe it’s a bit of an ego stoke so that it will drive more money into the machines. It feels better to score 14 million than to score 1400
Dr. Evil : Shit. Oh hell, let's just do what we always do. Hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage. Yeah? Good! Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan. We get the warhead and we hold the world ransom for... ONE MILLION POINTS!
Number Two : Don't you think we should ask for *more* than a million points? A million points isn't exactly a high score these days. Virtucon alone scores over 9 billion points a year!
Dr. Evil : Really? That's a lot of points.

Quoted from JohnnyPinball007:My background is heavy equipment, like you see on the tv show Gold Rush, but at the same time more like working 25 feet underground also. (installing or repairing pipelines...water, sewer, storm drain, etc.)
Sometimes I am on the machine, sometimes I am way underground.
I prefer to do the underground work, and not be on the machine.
It used to be the other way around, but anything can happen at anytime, and (20 years ago?) laws were written that a operator could go to jail for a ditch cave in.
I have always enjoyed this work and the pay is ok also, but if something out of my hands is going to put me in jail for manslaughter, HELL NO!
I design a lot of that stuff and am on heavy construction sites frequently. Please stay safe, use a trench box, steel sheets, taper the walls back, whatever you need to do. Too many accidents caused by crews being in a hurry. And keep the Nattys for when the day is over.

Quoted from phil-lee:The Corporation I worked for purchased a million dollars worth of Satellite phones to be ready.
My friend the IT Manager slept in his office that New Years eve as his cohorts all over the World did the same.
He said he walked out the next morning and called the Main Headquarters.
"Everything OK?"
"Yeah, everything good"
He put the phone in his desk where it set for 14 years, when he gave it to me for scrap.
My sister in law was working as an IT manager for a large insurance company during Y2K. The whole department had to be on site and ready to deal with problems instantly overnight on New Years. The company had installed large generators to run the whole building in case the power grid went down, had Port-A-Johns in the parking lot in case the municipal water went down, and provided the employees with flashlights in case the power and generators went down.
Her comment was that if it got to the point where she was going to the Port-A-John by flashlight, she was going home because she wouldn't be able to do any IT work anyway.
Then nothing happened, and they all wasted their New Years just being there.

Criticizing your choice of colors is not "bullying". It's expressing an opinion. You have yours, other people have theirs.

We like the solid feel of the domestic vehicles.
I have only owned Chevy, Dodge, and Ford.
But I have no idea what's foreign anymore.
Lots of Toyotas are USA built and Dodge is owned by Fiat.
So who knows.

Quoted from pinzrfun:I confess i cringe when friends/family suggest "Let's go out to dinner!"
I hate eating out (unless there's an associated activity - watching a game at a bar w friends, etc). I eat fast - I'm always the first one done, and usually have my dishes and the kitchen cleaned up before anyone else is even done eating. The thought of driving to a restaurant, staring at a menu for 10 minutes, having small talk for another half hour until the food arrives, eating (how long does it take to eat a plate of food, 10, 15min tops?), then sitting there while everyone else finishes their meals is absolute torture to me. And God forbid I'm with people (my sis and her hubby come to mind) who like to order coffee and sit and chat after they eat, maybe order a piece of pie after a little while. Please - shoot me.
I have better things to do with 3 hours of my life than pay $13.50 for a burger at Red Robin.

Coming home from work today a dumbass kid hit the side of my truck.
I was making a right turn, and he tried to pass me on the right. He said he saw my right turn signal, but somehow thought I was turning left.
Even if I was turning left, it's a two lane street, with no passing or turn lane on the right. He was trying to squeeze past. He also had to be going at least 15 over the 25 limit.
Cop told me that the report will say the kid was at fault. Not sure if he got a ticket, but he sure deserved one. At least he told the truth.
Bystander lady told me there was no cause for swearing. I told her that if that wasn't a cause for swearing, I have no idea what would be.

Yeah, you're right. Truck is now at the body shop.
Not sure about the grill. My biggest concern is that the alignment was way off and truck had to be moved on a flatbed. Front tires clearly pointed different directions. Hoping it's just tie rods and minor stuff, but worried that if more is affected, it won't be quite right when done.

Growing up, our small town was 20 miles or so from a large air force base that had a large B-52 complement.
The base was rumored be be the third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the U.S.
Common thought was to not waste any effort on worry, as we would never know if it happened. We would just be gone.

Quoted from RyanStl:Good place to put your large trash?
I had an apartment in downtown Kirkwood a long time ago that was by the fire house. You would think sirens were an issue. They weren't. The turbos spooling on the ambulance from my second floor apartment was loud as fuck.
Nope. They have cameras all over the school. Besides, we have fairly huge roll out cans that hold pretty big trash. The City will also do large pick up for free if you call. My taxes are WAY too high, but I gotta admit that the City services are really good.

Quoted from LTG:I always wondered how long you had to be at sea many years ago to start thinking any of these were mermaids ?

Quoted from punkin:I sometimes fantasize about being so rich i can afford to put a new blade pack in my Mach 3 every time i shave.
Switched from those to cheap blades years ago. Great decision. Even cheap blades are pretty good, and repeatedly overpaying for razor blades was grating.
I have been annoyed that Amazon bought out two different cheap blade companies I was buying from and shut them down.
Tried Amazon basics blades and they are OK. Pretty sure they are made by one of the companies they bought and shut down.

That was helpful. I'll pass on the UE boom though. I prefer my beach quiet.

Quoted from pinzrfun:13 year olds aren't still playing with dolls.
No, they wait until they're over 40 then glue the dolls into pinball machines.

Quoted from Ballderdash:Confess I never gave up on the GB Packers today. Watched 3 quarters of brutal goose egg scoring to see an 18 unanswered point victory!
OK, but how about from 1973 to 1991.
I got used to seeing the Pack as "the other team" in every highlight film.

I spent over half an hour this morning trying to figure out what was wrong with a ceiling mounted light fixture.
Bulbs, power, connections, etc.
Then I realized it's on the other wall switch and works just fine. 
The switch I was working with controls an unused switched outlet.
I've only lived in this house about 15 years. How am I supposed to know which switch contols what?

Quoted from LTG:He looked my place over and said I'd get 3 1/2 to 7 hundred for each pinball machine in here.
Ask to buy any and all games from places he liquidates.

Quoted from poppapin:Confess, I thought when I saw an ABBA hype thread it was a joke. Is there really that much demand for ABBA?
I would not have thought so, but I still think disco sucks. All these years later.
Other people have different opinios, and maybe it will be a great game.
Quoted from Gunnut40:All have to now is see twister!
The pinball? Not that great.
The movie? Not that great either, but better than the pinball.
