i used to work in a porn store.

Please go on... what is the typical work day at a porn store like? Do you no longer work there because the internet was cutting into their business? Did you use a lot of hand sanitizer?

quit working there because I broke my left leg and moved to a different city. working there was normally pretty tame, but every now and then it got odd.

while cleaning up the top ten list was

Top Ten

10. Condoms with various bodily fluids on them.
extremely common, as a matter of fact I think I found 4 or five tonight.

9. Various fruits and veggies.
cucumbers aren't just for the ladies you know.

8.Even numbered articles of clothing.
things like a pair of socks or stockings, that means someone left without their socks, this one baffles me

7. Porn and receipts from other stores.
what, ours isn't good enough for them?

6. Random sex toys and packaging.
I can understand wearing a new pair of shoes home, but a butt plug?

5. Odd numbered articles of clothing
only finding one sock baffles me even more.

4. Bibles.
I find the little tiny travel Gideon's bibles from time to time. a little light reading before sodomy? Or making sure you got all seven sins out of the way at once?

3. Home made sex toys.
people get inventive when they are horny, a few of my favorites were the condom full of expanding sealant foam or the soap carved into a butt plug or the mini wine bottle with a condom on it.

2. Kitchen utensils.
If I had only ever found just one spatula it wouldn't be so bad. (this has actually recently been explained to me, doesnt make any better)

1. Weird combinations of household items
when I found the last spatula I also found a rubber glove and an empty honey bear container.

The weirdest things I ever found were all in one booth; a women's razor, two pairs of underwear,one sock, several used and un-used condoms, salad dressing, and mardi-gras beads. Curiosity has the better of me, I really want to know what went down to leave that kinda mess. But on the same note I don't want to ask at all."

And I have a few more stories that are a lot more heinous than that, but this is a family board and would have to be private messaged to you.
 
First, that response was what I wanted and more. Its everything I imagined and more.

Second, I think saying "a little odd" is a bit modest, but I am a virgin to the sex shop world. I prefer to spend my time online and the savings are out of this world!!

I figured bodily fluids was a given, but homemade toys, didn’t see that one coming. Maybe they wanted to compare their knock off version against the real thing. See if their craftsmanship was up to par. Bibles! Ha, maybe someone was looking for loopholes in the word of god. You’re going to have to PM me about the spatula. …..Poor Honey Bear :(

Lastly I notice you didn’t answer the hands sanitizer question…..
 
I wish my pictures where still up online, I used to harass the new guy religiously

and i have a scar from a staph infection once. no matter ho much you wash your hands.
something will get you.
 
Omg, lmfao!!!

Pfunk and court, thanks. I needed the good laugh. I love you guys. :)
 
I like gardening a lot, chess ( any game that requires me to think), I like sports even though I cannot take part (why I do not know - oh I do know ha ha ) and cooking.
 
Thought i'd have a nosy at the thread since i've not been on for a while and nearly choked laughing! Thanks for that guys :p

As for what i've been upto, lately i'm mostly training/taming my new cockatiel. Well, ok i've had him a couple months now. He's coming on well! I came to sit next to him today and he automatically came to the side of his cage where i am, looking to see if i had treats for him today. The way to a his heart is apparently wotsits (cheesits?). He's getting tame enough that he'll come and sit next to me and even walk around the keyboard of my laptop while i'm typing on it. Of course, that makes it a little harder to type!

Very cute Lou! Don't teach him how to get onto the internet though -- before you know it, you'll have tons of birdseed showing up at your door and mysterious charges showing up on your credit card...
 
lol! He was playing Song Pop for me last night (a game on facebook) by hopping and walking all over the mouse pad.

He's not very good at it though ¬.¬

I've managed to teach him a couple of cool tricks but the weird thing is that he'll still try and peck the fingers off me if i go into his cage! Obviously a leeeeetle bit territorial :p
 
I had an ex girlfriend who was talking to me on ICQ while having a young kestrel sat on her shoulder that she was imprinting and of course the earlier versions of icq worked so that as you typed letter by letter it came up on screen at the other end but the kestrel didn't understand what was going off all he saw was this thing flashing across the screen so of course being a kestrel he wanted to kill it and kept jumping off her shoulder and going for the kill head first into the screen before being stunned by the impact and droppingonto the keyboard which from my end was looking rather strange as every few minutes I got an explosion of letters coming up on screen at my end making no sense to me what so ever untill she put the kestrel onto a perch where it could no longer see the screen so she could explain what was going off before she told me this I was just getting ready to uninstall icq before reinstalling it birds and pcs eh
 
Yeah but we love em lol. I may be more into exotic/pet birds rather than birds of prey but i think they both need endless patience lol.

When i first got the cockatiel it kept smashing into the single glazing windows. Had to stick bits of a4 paper all over the windows until he learnt the boundaries. Got a few odd looks whenever i had friends round for a brew :p

Also, when he's sitting on the laptop i have to keep turning him round so his tail feathers are down the back and not down the screen. Nothing like typing on CWE and then having to stop to clean poop off the screen ¬.¬

Cool pics Lou,
Sounds like the cockatiel is pretty entertaining.
Do you still have your other bird (Bob?)?

Is a wotsit similar to what we call a cheezel?
Cheezels are a popular Australian snack food that was introduced to the food market in 1971. Made from corn and rice, they are a crisp puffy ring with a strong Cheddar cheese flavour and aroma. Similar in texture to a cheese puff (or a puffy Cheeto in the U.S.).Cheezels are also available in a Mini variety, which come in both regular, 'Pizza Cheese' and 'Cheesy BBQ' flavours.

Yup that looks like pretty much the same thing :)

I still have Bob but she's a very old and poorly bird now. She did actually come out of her cage for a little bit today and managed to strip a whole spray of millet, so is doing a little better today. She is over ten years old though, which is pretty good for her breed.

Here she is! She's gone downhill a lot since this pic was taken though, and has even changed colour :O

Lou.. What cute pictures. How hard is it to train a cockatiel? My grandmother always had singing canaries. We have been talking about possibly getting a bird.

Thanks
Mary
 
As babies they're pretty easy with some patience and understanding. Smokey was already 7 years old when i got him though. A friend owned him. I think she meant well, but he was never tamed, never got out of his too small cage (he has a new one now) and was extremely agressive and screeching a lot.

He's still overly agressive and territorial in his cage but is coming on really well outside of it.

From babies you could probably have them tamed in a matter of weeks. Parakeets and cockatiels make really rewarding pets too and apart from the initial outlay (cage, toys, bird) are pretty cheap to keep. They just need some attention :D
 
my gf's gram has started raising chickens, so that means fresh eggs to cook with,

Fresh chicken eggs are the best :).

My parents have chickens & ducks which are free range - they wander around the yard during the day & just go into the hen house or duck pen at night lol.
I don't think my parents hens are laying much at the moment but the ducks are still laying so they are getting a few duck eggs. The duck eggs are really good for baking (especially cakes).
 
i used to buy hatching eggs off ebay to hatch various species of chickens but i often found that the more ornate species were harder to keep and hatch than the bog standard ones but having to wait 12 months for them to get to point of lay was a bit of a pain so i started going to a place nearby and buying them at point of lay so i could get eggs off them straight away and as you say fresh eggs are great but we had some cream crested legbars that lay pale blue eggs and my son wouldnt eat them as he thought something was wrong with them but i bough these legbars as a tray with 14 hatching eggs off a carboot sale (first time ive ever seen hatching eggs on a carboot sale and wasamazed when 3 of them actually hatched unfortunately one turned out to be a cockrel but with legbars you can tell sex as soon as they hatch so you dont spend months waiting to find out if one is gonna upset all the neighbours lol
