      Really dreading taking my son to his friend's bday party tomorrow. I'll be surrounded by a bunch of other parents I don't know for 3 hours. I know, I know, this should be about my son having fun at his friend's party but i'm an old curmudgeon and these types of social gatherings are really uncomfortable for me.

          Yep. A full charge on your phone and you're good.  I, too, have much experience with this.

            There was a portly, gnome-like, backwards trilby wearing hippie next to us at Paul Simon the other night creating his own light show by constantly shaking his phone in video mode right in front of his face. It was a new form of smartphone ADD for me.

            Think it, be it.

              Looking forward to awkward silence.

              My phone can't hold a charge worth a damn. It'll be dead within an hour

                I've got experience at this too but I take the opposite approach, I mingle.  Better than sitting there staring at the phone cause dammit that's what's wrong with society today, now get off my lawn.  Plus there's usually single mom's there…never know....might meet the next mrs gaseous.

                  Yeah yer right. I just dislike the fake pleasantries that go along with this sorta thing. I hear what you're saying though. I know a millenial that spends a lot of time texting on her phone, whereas, i'm glad to have time away from mine. @manufc10:

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                          The bday party is supposed to be 3 hrs. I told my boy 1 hr and we're leaving. He's not technically friends with the bday boy but with his brother. Makes it easier for me to leave and not give 2 shits

                            Freakin' ParcelForce…..

                            -I ordered something from Japan. EMS forwarded the package to ParcelForce for the UK leg of the delivery.
                            -On the ParcelForce website, I'm able to track the package with the original EMS tracking number. The tracking updates says that they've attempted delivery twice, and today will be the third time, but I have not received a delivery slip or anything stating that they will redeliver since I wasn't home.
                            -I tried to schedule a delivery time, or pick-up from the depot, but I can't because I didn't get a delivery card with a ParcelForce tracking number.
                            -I called the helpline, and they can't help me either, because I don't have a ParcelForce tracking number, even though they can see the package in the system by it's EMS tracking number.

                            How does this make sense?!

                                    Before I moved to Singapore I found an episode of his show that talked about the food culture there.
                                    It ignited an interest in the country I didn't have before and a thirst to learn more about food and culture particularly in East Asia.
                                    This one really hits close to home.

                                      I really enjoyed his shows and hope that he finds peace.

                                        Saw the news about Anthony Bourdain earlier.

                                        My other half used to have the Food Network on TV all the time, and I saw quite a few episodes of his shows. I really liked his style.

                                            he's got such amazing personality on all his episodes. i remember seeing a couple of the ones where he was in vietnam alone and with obama and eating at jiro-san's sushi place. what a legend. RIP
