Thank you!
I certainly hope you realize that the room you linked to is completely full.
And whatever happened to the "just enter the name/password you want" option?
It works!
Oh darn, I did not realize Xkeeper. I will extend by 30 min or so and open up 2 more rooms to deal with overflow. Thanks for the heads up.
I just got in, and Ben said he was going to open up more rooms.
AgentMunroe, yes.
Thanks guys!
Chatrooms closed. Email the tip line if you feel you missed out.
Oh no! Noobs! [newbies]
Welcome!
Hi,
Thank you for the invitation. I have enjoyed visiting this site for the past several months.
your login works on all Gawker Media sites..
Eh, I feel strangely smug and self-satisfied that I received my commenting privileges by submitting an appropriately witty comment... or at least, an appropriately obscene comment at a time the approver was napping.
Regardless, yay new people!
Wow. This was unexpected. Thanks!
Ya, I agree with OnoSideboard. Now I don't feel so special...
Free, huh? How much do these normally cost?
Yea, agreed. (w/ mike)
Charging for plastic bags, utensils, etc. is the law in Taiwan, and has been for several years.
Even if I didn't get charged for plastic bags or a discount for bringing my own, I still bring my own. A sturdy canvas grocery bag holds more weight, doesn't rip and is more comfortable to carry than a disposable plastic or paper bag.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a satisfactory solution for produce. I still have to use those small clear plastics bags to store and separate the tomatoes, peppers, etc. so the cashier can
weigh them.
Do our logins from other Gawker Media sites work here?
