    +1 And then the next week you win while scoring 80 points.

    We have a league at work and the first 3 years we didn't play for any money and I won all 3 years. Last 4 years we've all put $20 in and I've not even come close to winning.

        I always have to have my volume set on an even number.

          We wouldn't get along with the TV. Outside of "0" my volume always has to be on an odd number.

          Thankfully my sound bar in the living room takes care of that OCD quirk of mine, but our TV in the bedroom is normally on 11. We'll bump it down to 7 or 9 if we're going to sleep and not watching.

            Static in the winter!

            One of the reasons I hate being at home in winter...there seems to be much more static all over the place and you get shocked so often! I really can't even leave a room without getting shocked on something. It's especially worse in carpeted areas. This only happens in the winter time though, summer time it's all fine.

            lol, one time I was getting changed and I was wearing a white shirt. After I took it off, you could see the static running through the shirt and it was like a flashlight was on inside my shirt for a split second. It lit up the whole room too!

                    Apologies to anyone I'm offending job wise, but I'm always wary of the door to door people we get locally. AT&T, DISH, and even Pizza Hut people coming door to door at all hours. Had a Pizza Hut guy a year or so ago pull the same thing, after dark.

                      Pizza Hut guy? Like he came to the wrong door or was trying to sell something? That's weird

                        Trying to sell something. I'm not sure if they opened up a new franchise, or had some neighborhood sales campaign going on...

                          lol, maybe it was a scam or something then? I remember someone from some big name company came to my door one day and was selling something but I just made something up as to why I couldn't listen to them right now(and later found out in the news they were a scammer,not like I would've bought anything,but at least I didn't even talk to them for more than 10 seconds).

                          If the pizza person comes back, tell them you'd consider their offer if you at least got to have a free sample lol.

                              Right a lot of the time the knock on the door is to see who they can steal from later. Be alert.

                                That's crazy. I've never heard of that happening at 7:00 on a Sunday night.
