what is your first world problem of the day?
You turn the toaster on and when it is red hot you put the end of your cigarette on the heating element and a little cherry is formed, then you have to puff at it really quick to get it going.
Same way as with a stove burner.
It's not very classy at all.
If you smoked regularly you would have figured it out on your own long ago while in an emergency with no flame source.
my friend when we were 16 or 17 tried to light a cigarette using a stove top.
she burned off her bangs and part of her eyebrows.
Because we can't let a little thing like a lack of fire power stop us from perusing our addictions that are killing us.
We still have that kind of stove where you get a flame, and not a heated slab of ceramic or glass (?). So I get the stove thing. Interesting, anyway.
Printer fix'd.
What did I do?
I'm sorry, Irina, if my comment was offensive or hurtful. I didn't intend it that way.
after I posted earlier today, I immediately found a lighter and matches, sitting in plain view and within arms reach from each other.
What did I do?
Nothin'. I was teasing you because you're the thread police and I committed like five felonies.
The movie comment? No worries. It's just that people here are idiots and apparently not one cinema is going to have it. Same happened with Never Let Me Go. And there are truly no words for how much I want to see this movie. I'll just wait a little more and have the dvdrip.
I just spent £5 on a salad (from a sandwich shop). It was good though.
I forgot to bring my stamp card to the Sushi Bar last Saturday when I went to pick up food, so now I missed out on stamps for a ridiculously expensive order. 6 stamps means 50% off for next order, so.. Major bummer.
Arsenal have changed their website and now everything's different and I can't find stuff. Waaah!
The vibrator on my phone stopped working. I dropped it ONCE in 2 years and first it started sounding like a cricket, and then yesterday it stopped working. Now my phone just rings.
I'm not sure this is a problem, though, I used the vibrating alert only with the ringing, whenever it was on silent mode I'd set it to just light up the screen, but still. It was that sound that I heard before it rang, and now I'm confused whenever it rings.
I just invested over 150 dollars in comics today.... 
Poor Irina, hope your phone is insured.
Jaz, what comics did you get? Any graphic novels?
It's still guaranteed, but I'm not going to get it fixed, probably. Maybe I'll try to reset it, but I really don't need the vibrator that much. Aside that, it works perfectly. It was dropped just ONCE, when some lady from my phone operator called to suggest improvements on my package. I was asleep, dropped the phone from its case when I answered, and my floor is hardwood, with no carpets.
Fist world problem we have been having for a while,
the volume quite working on our television in the livingroom so the surround sound must always be used. Even for the most inane shows, such as spongebob.

From working out - clothes never fit me right. I have to pay a fortune in tailoring every time I buy suits.
showing off like that should at least include pictures !
One day, Barbara... 
I'm not even that big - compared to most of the guys at the gym. I just like being proportioned well.
My regular fit jeans are tight as hell on my upper legs, loose in the calves, and super loose in the waist. Shirts are really baggy around the waist (even athletic fit) and super tight in the chest and shoulders.
And I can never just buy a suit off the rack with minimal tailoring.
No one ever should.
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
No one ever should.
I agree.
I was just complaining to complain.

As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy

Oh God, I can only imagine that Sponge Bob laugh in surround sound....
I'm finally upgrading to a smart phone but not too sure which to buy. I think I'm going to get a Galaxy S3 because with a Best Buy promotion I can get one for like $50.

That sounds like you're waiting to share your most important suit with us. I don't think any of us want that kind of commitment yet. And it better be for forever Pete or I don't know what we'll do if you take that suit away from us.
YES!!! Get a Samsung. I have the S2 and I loooooooove it. It is a bajillions times better than my Blackberry, and I loved my Blackberry, so that's saying a lot.
I don't know if it's a first world problem or not, but I still can't get myself to even be curious to buy a smartphone. Doesn't bother me that other people use them, I've just never needed a phone for anything other than a phone, maybe also a clock.
Anyways, I still use a flip phone. Every time someone sees me using it, I picture them thinking I just made a big drug deal and I'm going to break it in half and stomp on the pieces when I hang up like I'm on Breaking Bad or something.

Aww, dang. Missed first dibs. Well, I was going to beckon her for her stash. Noah was beckoning for other reasons, I suspect.
So yeah I ended up buying some duplicates of those comics. Kind of a buzzkill but I'm hoping that they'll let me exchange them for the ones I have on hold. If not I may just have to send one of you lovely culties the extras.
I just downloaded this 10 dollar app for free (thanks appgratis!) on how to get six pack abs in six weeks. I don't think I can do the workouts that require the left side to lift weights by itself.
I don't have any work to do right now. The office is seriously dull.
It varies a lot here right now. When things start to happen, it's everything at the same time. Phone rings, people come in, I receive emails. After that, it'll suddenly be quiet again.
Yep! Same here! 
I think I'll take lunch in five and read my book for an hour. Perhaps I will have a flurry of emails upon my return!
Ohh, is that something you're allowed to do? Sounds lovely.
One of the perks of working for a big firm is the right to an hour's paid lunchbreak.
Usually I just sit at my desk and eat and 'surf', but I think I might stray to one of the quiet areas of the building and hide out.
Do you get a good lunch break?
We're closed for an hour during lunch time, but we only get to take about half an hour's paid break. Students don't really care that we're closed either, so they tend to just barge in. I would tell them to come back later, but other times a co-worker might tell them to just come in, and then I have to help them.
I really miss working in an office sometimes. Conference calls and IM's just aren't the same as being around actual people.
Did you start working from home because of your children, Alecia? Do you think you'll go back to working at an office in the future?
I hope I don't sound like a jerk here...
Getting a six pack is more about "calories in / calories out" than doing crunches.
Now taking it to the next level - that's all cardio and crunches.
It don't matter if you take a Ford or a Chevy as long as we all get to the same barbecue.
No, my company was merged with another one a few years ago, and they decided to close the Birmingham operation. My position was brought into the Corporate level, and I was given the option of working from home or moving to Hailey, Idaho. Moving was definetly not something I wanted to do, so I chose to work out of my house.
I feel isolated sometimes for sure, but I do believe the benefit of being here is what's best for my family right now. I like that I'm here when my kids get home, and if they're sick, I can stay home without missing work.
That's like that Richard Pryor movie Moving!

Such a jerk! Telling me something I didn't know and wanted to know!
Thanks man, what do you mean calories out?
How many calories you eat - vs - How many calories you burn in a day
I'm very curious as to how you light a cigarette in/with (?) the toaster.
My printer keeps showing me a no-cartridge error and I have to print Poe's The Masque of the Red Death for class tomorrow. If I don't manage to reinstall it I'll put it on my Kindle and be the most snobbish snob in the class.
But I will reinstall it, I just need someone to help/assist.
