    - and she's a grandma so i think it's awkward cute. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 14:13 5
      - to be clear, I don't think it's that awful, it's a combo of cringey (trying hard) and amusing (like my mom saying "snoopy dog dog"). - b. Jul 14, 14:18 4
        
        To be clear I was responding to RM. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 14:23 3

While taking a call, had to run and errand with my Mom. - ty97 Jul 14, 13:21 19

        I've had it happen a lot in level 6-7. sneaky lil suckers. -- nm - b. Jul 14, 13:54
  - Those were probably incense. That works similarly but only for you and not quite as good -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 13:49 4
    - I did have some of those but I thought I also had lures. But I'm not yet at level 8 so clearly something else was happening. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 14, 14:03 1

- The moving guy said the original was just minimum charge, not a quote. I don't see pros doing a whole move for $165, monthly storage fees is that -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:26 2

        I just don't think it's that many thousands, not who are rushing to imdb anyway. - b. Jul 14, 13:25 1
        
        Maybe, maybe not.. - Marlowe Jul 14, 13:35
