January 22, 201015 yr If you noticed me in a grumpy mood this week, it's because of this: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local/story/Viruses-Plague-Xaviers-Computer-System/0z0zWxPU0E6CE496AWE6ng.cspx
January 22, 201015 yr Mr. RNR had his first ever ride on the rapid today on his way to CCC metro for the project he's working on there. Thx for your help with bus lines. Does anyone know the campus or immediate surrounding area? Where could someone go for coffee? I can't find anything online.
January 22, 201015 yr I would have to imagine the best bet would be the CCC cafeteria/food court. It isn't exactly in a neighborhood of cafes and bistros. The other possibility would be that if he is getting something on the way in, he could stop at Caribou at Tower City when he transfers to the bus.

Isn't eating and drinking on buses and trains prohibited? On most transit systems, it is.
January 22, 201015 yr He brought coffee today, but is looking for a place to get a refill mid-day, so having to go back to TC would not work. Drinking/eating is prohibited but regularly practiced, I just moved because some pig was cramming in McDonald's last night. That being said, CARRYING food/drink on board is not prohibited, just consuming it. Where is the CCC cafeteria? We are both completely unfamiliar with the campus and it's not listed on the map.
January 22, 201015 yr I had to call my sister's douchebag boyfriend at work, yesterday. He works at Chuck-E-Cheese. When I called, some woman answered the phone and I asked for Evan. She said "He can't take phone calls right now; he's in Chucky". I said "Oh, well tell him -- wait, he's in Chucky?!" I said "What kind of family-oriented business are you all running here?!" :-o She said "No, he and the rest of the staff members have to take turns wearing the costume". He's never going to hear the end of that. :lol:
January 22, 201015 yr What's the difference between a supporting member and premium member? the secret handshake!
January 22, 201015 yr I'm in a story-telling mood. When I went to University of Cincinnati, we had a party at my house one time. It wasn't a big party; my room mates and I just told our friends to come. So we're all drinking, talking, having a good time, when I walk in the kitchen and see this guy standing in front of the kitchen counter with these huge lines of powder in front of him. I said "Dude you are NOT about to snort cocaine in my house"! He said "No, chill out; it's Vicodin". I said "People snort vicodin!? Wtf :? I go back into the living room and chat there for a while. Later that night, I went to the store to get more beer, along with my friend and the pill crusher guy. I get to the counter and pay for the beer and me and my friend stood there waiting for the other guy we were with to check out. He bought a pack of cigarettes, then reached into his pocket for cash. In his drunken state of carelessness, he found the dollar bill he used to snort his pill and pulled it out of his pocket. He unraveled it in front of the clerk, then snapped it straight from both ends. The white powder went POOF! all in the face of the woman working behind the counter! Funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. She kept blinking uncontrollably with this scowl on her face.
January 22, 201015 yr ^I crushed Vivarin and snorted it through the inside tube of my Bic pen in high school. I was tired (from being drunk before lunch). I got a detention.

January 22, 201015 yr I have yet to hear of a high school, public or private that didn't at least sometimes have someone drunk before noon and popping pills. Certainly not normative behavior but there's always someone.
January 23, 201015 yr Is there anything else to do in Mansfield besides get drunk and pop pills, because it seems to be a common trait among everybody that I know from there ( well that and they seem to smoke a lot of weed). Although the same can be said for a lot of the people from my home town...
January 23, 201015 yr Is there anything else to do in Mansfield besides get drunk and pop pills, because it seems to be a common trait among everybody that I know from there ( well that and they seem to smoke a lot of weed). No, there isn't, that's why kids get into so much trouble. When I was at the end of my junior/senior year, I helped spearhead a kids board of directors, with representation from different ages of teenagers from the (then) 2 high schools. We met every month with the mayor and the city's service & safety director to try to come up with different ideas and programs that the city could work with us to offer so that there would be more things to do. Some of the ideas we had were too pie in the sky/expensive to make work, such as bringing in sand to a park and having a "beach" party, or buying one of the big, Victorian homes on park avenue and turning it into a youth shelter where teenagers could go after school to do homework or play games in a safe and constructive environment. One that I am proud of that I shepherded through from start to finish was a state-wide talent show. It was held at the Renaissance and I did like ALL the work on it, from auditioning the acts to coming up with a performance schedule to talking to the press to actually running different elements of the show. It was a huge success. After my class graduated the board was disbanded due to lack of interest.
January 23, 201015 yr Is there anything else to do in Mansfield besides get drunk and pop pills, because it seems to be a common trait among everybody that I know from there ( well that and they seem to smoke a lot of weed). No, there isn't, that's why kids get into so much trouble. I agree that even in other areas there isn't much for teenagers to do, especially if you are not athletic in any way. I grew up in Green Township, and I remember being bored, especially when school was not in session. Also, it seems acceptable for teenagers to be bored. That is really cool that you started an activity like that in high school. It's a bummer that the group disbanded so quickly.
January 23, 201015 yr I think the lack of things to do, especially when you're in a smallish town, is what can lead to a lot of kids getting into trouble (if, like you say, they aren't into sports). When I first started high school I was in sports but we couldn't afford to keep up with it, running shoes for $60 and the cost of uniforms were just not in our budget, we were on food stamps, so I gave that up. Without anything structured to do or any place to go (in a small town, you're REALLY lacking in stuff to do), you just get into trouble. I became part of a group of pretty decent shoplifters, and lived part time with a band. There was just NOTHING to do. The mall required someone with a car to take you there as it was so far away, and there were only 2 movie theaters in town, also requiring a car. There was nothing to do but go to the mall and walk around or drive up and down park avenue and hang out at fast food restaurants until they kicked you out. Weekends were spent going to places to get into fights with kids from other schools, or partying, or getting into other trouble like vandalism or theft. It's not like every kid I went to school with was like that, but unless you were a goody-goody and stayed home with your parents all the time and did everything they told you to do, or were in structured activities like sports, there was just nothing going on. I remember being incredibly mad at being so bored all the time, and increasingly angry because I didn't have the money to participate in things other kids did, from simple things like sports to more "fun" things like trips to cedar point or to go canoeing or whatever. When my HS band was invited to perform at Cedar Point, we had to pay admission to get in but got a discounted rate of $12, and my Mom didn't have it, and my Dad said he would only pay half, I had to get the other half from my mother. It was awful. I was only in the flag corps because after I got selected to be on the squad, one of the families whose daughter was graduating not only gave me her uniform, but paid to have it altered so it would fit me. My latin teacher bought my prom dress because my Mom couldn't afford to buy me one. I mean, it was just tough, and I was angry most of the time, and when you have a bored, angry teenager, that spells trouble.
January 23, 201015 yr ^ You were probably hanging out at Doc Hollidays! LOL! I do remember when that first opened, and I actually went there quite a bit as a kid during the day (usually with an adult, older brother, or a group of friends while our moms were bowling). When I was in high school, I believe the place had gone down hill. I don't think many of my friends were even allowed to go there. One of my friends in particular had a parent that was an ER nurse at St. Francis/St. George Hospital. There were too many stories of teens ending in the ER after a visit to Doc Hollidays.
January 23, 201015 yr ^I crushed Vivarin and snorted it through the inside tube of my Bic pen in high school. I was tired (from being drunk before lunch). I got a detention. What's Vivarin? Is there anything else to do in Mansfield besides get drunk and pop pills, because it seems to be a common trait among everybody that I know from there ( well that and they seem to smoke a lot of weed). Although the same can be said for a lot of the people from my home town... What's funny is people move to the country to get their kids away from bad influences. My 2 brothers grew up in the country and their friends did heroin, cocaine, extacy, marijuana and everything else. I lived in the inner city most of my life and went to some really bad public schools but none of my friends did drugs. I guess it was easier for me to choose friends more like myself. I was never tempted to try any drugs until college. I only drank like once in high school.
January 23, 201015 yr Vivarin is an OTC stimulant (caffeine), known for college kids taking it to cram for exams, or over the road truck drivers on long hauls. My family never moved anywhere to get away from or flee to anywhere. They were poor and the generations before them had lived there, so we did as well. The original settlers were immigrants who came over for manufacturing jobs.
January 23, 201015 yr Vivarin is an OTC stimulant (caffeine), known for college kids taking it to cram for exams, or over the road truck drivers on long hauls ... In my student days it was NoDoz (same 200mg/tablet). I lived on it for a while, and then it quit working for me and I slept like the dead for the better part of 24 hours. I don't know that anyone then ever thought of crushing it and snorting it, though.
January 23, 201015 yr Snorting ground oral tablets into your lungs can ultimately do more damage than snorting cocaine! Most of those ingredients are insoluble and will just stay in your lungs causing future breathing problems because scar tissue can form around these particles. That's why coke is typically cut with lactose which at least is soluble. Of course, I doubt there is any quality control around the coke trade! If you know of anyone doing this and they think its just a quick way to get caffeine into their system, let them know its a mistake.
January 23, 201015 yr Yeah, I smoked a pack and a half a day in high school, I wasn't all that concerned about my lungs. I only did it that one time anyway.

I don't know that anyone then ever thought of crushing it and snorting it, though. nodoz was pre 80's. Viverin was more my generation -80's. Poor david never even heard of them. all these kids today with their redbull and vodka. I think Stewie was upset about this too.
January 24, 201015 yr One of the perks of being in pharmacy school is we all worked in pharmacies and had access to much better study aides than No Doz or Viverin! Many hard crashes at the fraternity house after finals!! I did get an empty cocaine bottle at the store and filled it with Ivory flakes for display. Many years later when I looked at it on the shelf, I thought it might be a bad idea and hard to explain!
January 25, 201015 yr nodoz was pre 80's. Viverin was more my generation -80's. Poor david never even heard of them. all these kids today with their redbull and vodka. I think Stewie was upset about this too. Redbull and Vodka? Maybe for after-hours lol My generation takes adderall/dextroamphetamine tablets and Ritalin! It makes no-doz look like Gensing.
January 27, 201015 yr Damn would i love to be stuck in that traffic jam Looks good in the poster, until you realize that the premise of the movie is that she had 5 breakfast burritos and a XL coffee for breakfast.
January 27, 201015 yr Damn would i love to be stuck in that traffic jam Looking at the scale of the other objects in the poster, she's more like a few hundred feet tall. She'd squish you like a bug. If she weren't so angry, she could get a job washing windows on high-rise buildings.
January 27, 201015 yr Definately random, I remember my mom made me watch that as a kid. It was one of her favorite movies growing up. She is 5'2" so I wonder if she was just wishful. I guess we all can have dreams.....
January 27, 201015 yr Damn would i love to be stuck in that traffic jam Looks good in the poster, until you realize that the premise of the movie is that she had 5 breakfast burritos and a XL coffee for breakfast. After drinking draft PBR (or Fat Tire) the night before!
January 29, 201015 yr Maybe it's just a small town thing, or maybe the cop was just tired, but I just heard the funniest thing on the scanner: Williamsport cop sounding tired: "*badge number* Traffic stop, 700 block of Park Ave. *reads off license plate* It's a grey Honda something or other." Dispatch sounding official: "Copy, *badge number* Traffic stop, 700 block of Park Ave. *reads off license plate* Grey Honda something or other, over." It was the funniest sh!t hearing that dispatcher say "grey honda something or other" the way he did.
January 29, 201015 yr At the top of the thread on the right hand side there is a bar that starts with "reply" and the next one over is "notifications." It's also at the bottom on the right hand side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\/
January 29, 201015 yr Truly, I didn't know about this either. I thought "notify" meant to notify the moderators. Perhaps that should be changed to "follow?"
