Do you by any chance know what pearlescent means?

Do you know what an opal looks like?

Deductive reasoning, son!

haha, we talked about that. I would have thought opals were black.

$10,000 seems either way too high or way too low of an amount to put on a rare medication.

I can't imagine developing a rare medication (or really any real medication) would cost 10k. It's gotta be much more.

I also can't think of too many drugs with a 10k price tag.

Edit...there's a list for that. Some unfortunate soul is out there is spending 65k a month on Myalept. Presumably to stay alive.

10k/dose is a high but relatively normalish price point in the infusion therapy center

Go down stairs to the basement fridge to grab yourself a beer to get ready to settle in and watch one of your favorite movies.

You get to the couch, put the plate on the coffee table, adjust the pillows put your beer on a coaster and you are ready to rock and roll. You turn to The Karate Kid, you pick up the sandwich take a nice juicy bite and then you hit Enter on the remote and just as you are tasting this delicious lunch you made, you see MOTHER****ING Jaden Smith on your screen and not Ralph Macchio! ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this, basically every time you see The Longest Yard or Bad News Bears.

Here's a rare bowling pet peeve. Why is it that some people throw their shot and immediately turn around and walk off the approach without bothering to watch the ball hitting the pins? Seems to me that part of the fun of bowling is to watch the pin action and to see whether you've accomplished your goal of knocking them down. If you're not going to do that, you might as well be bowling on an empty lane. That's right.

Maybe this should piss me of but I'm not sure.

When a cashier asks you, "Debit or Credit"?.

You answer.

Then the card reader asks you the same damn question immediately after you answer the cashier.

I've tried to get around answering but for some reason every cashier must know the answer before the transaction can proceed.

I'm pretty sure this should piss me off but whatever I already typed it.

I'm pissed off that some places ask and some don't.

I just went to a diner that only took cash and didn't know where the nearest ATM was. One of those southern swamp states.

Are you certain that they didn't know? I "don't know" my phone number if certain people ask for it.

Very possible. I snapped my fingers and said, "Hey dipshit, make me something to eat" while waving my credit card in his face and he seemed to have an attitude.

I had some limited release Red Bull something summery/beachy themed, that my daughter (20s) left at my house. It tasted like suntan oil (mmm, artificial coconut! My favorite!)

And this pisses me off. Might mix well with Malibu rum, though.

On the plus side, though, it didn't taste like Red Bull. That's a win!

I don't think I've ever not been asked "debit or credit?" in my entire life. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Yeah I rarely get asked. I stick my cc in the machine and a couple seconds later it says approved and I pull it out.

Yeah, no one would know it because I never said it but I was talking about gas stations.

Every single Wawa experience I've had they ask me. Which is pretty much daily.
