12/18 - Wubba Wednesday!

Do you use a VPN or any other sort of IP that a lot of other people might use?

This seems to happen to me every time I forget to disable my VPN before attempting to log into MTurk. I'll try repeatedly and it will just keep saying my login info is incorrect, or it will mention a "One-Time Password" that I never receive. It was really scary when it happened the first time.

I don't use a VPN, but our network at work is set up kind of weird so it might have something to do with that since I usually Turk at home.

dang, 3 pages already this morning!

National Twin Day - are there any MTC'ers who have less famous twins?

Answer the Phone Like Buddy The Elf Day - sorry, haven't seen ELF yet so I won't be participating.

National Suckling Pig Day @mboone73

ok, who other than me is going to carbon date ourselves for remembering this as part of a famous gum ad?

Saw this a lot during nightly Prime Time runs of The A-Team, Fall Guy, Knight Rider and MacGyver. Not the reruns or the remakes.

I had a panda running for the $15 Kevin LaBar hit (from yesterday I think?) and caught it this morning so it appears to still be floating around FYI.

Kinda crazy to think Donkey Kong Country hadn't even came out when they installed this thing.

Kinda crazy to think Donkey Kong Country had even came out when they installed this thing.

They say they last only 15 years, mine is going on 23 right now. I live in hard Water Country, I even bought a special attachment for my shop vac to suck all the calcium deposits out of that little hole in the water heater and it's still holding up, with a few repairs over the years.

I just replaced 2 in October!! I feel your pain. They are insanely expensive!

Had mine for 12 and never cleaned them...I will clean the news ones for sure!

I have no choice in the matter, that little hole is for the heating element and I have to change mine every two years and dig out about a gallon of calcium deposits at the same time. A heating element almost completely disintegrates during that time.
