The "What's on your mind?" thread

Just don't ask for "Mastered in 4K" or any such rerelease variant.

And I got a DVD...sigh.

Hey, it's Christmas. I was gracious and kept my mouth shut. If somebody givess you something for free, don't whine about it.

It's my fault. After 10 years, I should realize that nobody in my family knows the difference between BD and DVD.

Next year, I'm asking for socks .

Has this same aunt ever bought you Transmorphers, Snakes on a Train or Independents' Day?

Thinking what I should buy with my BB gift cards

Why do people follow fashion trends so religiously? Some guy on Bravo decides that bow ties, rainbow socks and tight-fitting highwater pants are cool, next thing you know everybody is following suit (no pun intended). I can't help but giggle and shake my head every time I see some doofus showing off his pink socks because his pants are too short. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Remember those pencil pouch-wearing dweebs everyone used to make fun of in High School? Apparently they're dictating fashion these days.

because most people can't think for themselves and must have someone dictate their lives and lifestyle for them.

instead of making their own way, they just follow everyone else.....like a sheep.

I mostly wear my work uniform or workout gear. Once I become a LMFT I'll just wear whatever my employer allows me to wear.

Thinking I should dump my copy of "Drive" on Blu-ray. Watched it last night and wasn't a fan.

My brother messaged me on FB last night and asked me what I wanted for Christmas. Bit late but he did order me a medal rack (supposedly) so now I eagerly await its arrival. One of those instances where I wish my hearing was good enough to find 2 X 4's in the wall.

I use a tool similar to this one:

Heh thanks something to look into when I have the $, in this instance I will have either my father or my brother-in-law help me hang it. Assuming it comes, of course. Okay that's enough goofing off for now, time to pretend like I work here.

When I used the one I have a few years ago, I had it in on the counter and told my wife "I think there's something wrong with this thing. Everytime I'm around it, it starts going off." She replied back "What is it?" I said "It's a stud finder, HAHAHA!" She laughed pretty hard.

Usually on a day when one of my teams play, I'll wear one of my jerseys of that team. Today though, Team Canada plays at 5:00 and The Oilers play at 6:00. So do I wear my Team Canada or one of my Edmonton Oiler jerseys?
Hmmmm....

Thinking I might save some money and just get the lone Steelbook rather than the One-click from Manta and still place an order with Nova during their Christmas sale.

Also thinking that I may go to Applebees for the AYCE riblets today...buuut there's also IHOP or Coco's. Hmm...

[Rlow3]

Went to watch All the Money in the World this morning, I usually go to movies in the morning because there’s no one there. Guess it’s different around the holidays, there were 2 older couples explaining the movie to themselves and guessing what would happen next also had a teenager who spent half the movie on their phone. Were a few days from 2018 and this is still happening in theaters? If you can’t be quite for more than 2 hours stay home... and why can’t people stay off their phones, like I highly doubt you’re that important

i'm thinking about my new mouse that should be delivered tomorrow (along with my new headphones).

the mouse i have was awesome when i first got it, but it keeps disconnecting and it'll lower the dpi setting randomly. and that is some annoying stuff when you're playing a game and trying to click on things and nothing happens.

How does a mouse change the dots per inch?
