Hey, ReluctantCynic, are you around today? - Mop Oct 19, 13:34
That reminds me, I need to get my flu shot. - znufrii Oct 19, 13:27 3
- I gotta do that too. I know they are doing it at Target. -- nm - Flavorize Oct 19, 13:46
- Two days before Kaiser's flu clinic opened I was there for the podiatrist and they gave me a shot in her office. -- nm - Meg Oct 19, 13:41

Good job, Florida -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 19, 13:23 2
- wait, that was sincere. I just assume a statement like that is sarcastic. That's actually good! -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:39
- Awesome! - Epiphany Oct 19, 13:39
I am on a website that is promoting its Christmas Gift Guide and *twitch* -- nm - ty97 Oct 19, 13:20 7
- I did pre-order my traditional gift box from the British grocer for delivery to K.C. - Meg Oct 19, 13:30
- i have an important announcement to make. - Andie Oct 19, 13:26 5
  - I expected this to say " I won Christmas" like you won all of it. The whole thing. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 13:40
  - oh wait. - Andie Oct 19, 13:27 3
    - You are one ahead of me - ty97 Oct 19, 13:29 2
      - i usually aim to be done by Halloween, but, yeah. No. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:33

- Now, do X-Files! -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 13:21 1
  - ~eyyy macarena~ -- nm - con_carne Oct 19, 13:32
The thing I find really sad on the condolence call is that it is not something new to the office. There are tons of examples to study - crash davis Oct 19, 13:11 17

  - I’m honestly beginning to wonder if he’s on the autism spectrum. - spamlet Oct 19, 13:28 9

      - Nah because he’s always been like this. -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 13:30 7
        
        Not entirely. He was always narcissistic. The dementia adds to the outbursts and his inability to put together a meaningful sentence. -- nm - pmb Oct 19, 13:31 6
        
        and has been pointed out, he didn't always sound this incoherent. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:32 5
        
        this concerns me because I dearly want him to fully understand it when his great downfall occurs. -- nm - mud Oct 19, 13:34
        
        He’s also always been on tape. -- nm - spamlet Oct 19, 13:34 3

        still, if you watch old interviews, it's not scripted and he is speaking in full normal sentences. Sure, they can edit, but even with editing now - Andie Oct 19, 13:37
  - He likes soldiers that live. -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 13:18
- His own heart? L6! -- nm - Spawn Oct 19, 13:12
