My off days are spent in sneakers and Adidas sweats (track pants) far too often for a guy my age

at the drunk comment.

But for real, at those parties, people can get kicked out just for discussing alcohol and/or cannabis too much, never mind getting drunk and/or stoned. They’re that strict.

But for real, if you’re legally and medically diagnosed with any number of disabilities, you can join. But you have to be within one mile of driving distance to join Town Of Oyster Bay Recreation. YAI is not restricted in terms of your place of residence, as long as you’re not an illegal immigrant.

Outside of Halloween, they’ve never had costume parties before. But those costumes could win you prizes at the Halloween parties.

And you're the one with the good taste in cars right? I took these pics a couple weeks ago but I did happen to see the same car today

That's a heck of a nice car

And the food on that video is first class. I enjoyed watching it.
* Not much wood actually, more like desertic landscapes (Sierra Nevada). But there are some big trees up the mountains too.
Anyway the cook was fabulous.

My PC isn't recognizing "lol" and it's still underlining it red. I know it's not a read word but it's such a common phrase now that it should be recognized. Lol.

This is the first Thanksgiving that my parents and me and the brother haven't spent together. My brother checked into rehab for alcohol two weeks ago and isn't getting released until next Tuesday. We are going to have the big dinner then. He seems to be doing great from when I talk to him on the phone.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving.

Nobody wanting to wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy anymore.

Especially P. Diddy.

Can't understand why trolls need to put others down (they haven't had a good day and want to take it out on others? They can get away with things on here which they can't get away with away from here?). You try and rationalise what they do in your mind and come up with no answers.

They likely forget about it but it lingers in your mind. I eventualy forget about it. But on the positive side of things, there are far more good people on here than the bad ones.

If the stores were open, I’d be shopping @ Target & Walmart. Unfortunately, they are distant memories for me to treasure.

Don't be sad, Christmas is coming soon; Santa will be there for you, all of you, free.

This is a rather meh Black Friday. All the deals already dropped earlier in the week it seems. I haven't seen any Lightning deals for movies. I still got some good stuff, but I expected a bit better.

Anyone following that crash at the Canada/US border? First it was a terrorist attack, then it was a stolen vehicle with the occupant fleeing--Never believe the first report(s), but now they're saying it was a 300k Bentley that either had a mechanical issue or the driver suffered a medical event. Really sad situation as it's been revealed it was a wealthy couple from upstate NY on their way to a KISS concert.

I have gotten up three times with the intention of getting a soda out of the fridge and three times have I returned empty handed.

Waiting for my Harry Potter 4K Steelbook set to arrive. I love when you’re not expecting something in the mail, they come before noon. When you are expecting/anticipating a package they take all freaking day! Going on 2 now. Prolly overloaded given there was no mail yesterday.

Black Friday probably has delivery services breaking their necks to get things out

It arrived.. a few dents though.

[Batman1980]

It'll look great next to your other HP 4k box set.

[Batman1980]

Yeah I try not to do things like that and if I need a reminder, I'm moving soon and my *probably* $3000-5000 BD/4k collection is about to force me to make some tough decisions. I would try selling them but I doubt most people would pay for BDs these days, I'd even be willing to do (in-person) for about $.50 each. The 4ks I'm keeping (mostly), it's the 2ks that are an issue. I really want to take them to IA and try to sell them there but I imagine it won't happen lol.

[sfmarine]

I’ve got the standard editions and not a second box set, so the joke is on you. For me, you can never have too much HP!

What’s nice about the standard/individual 4K releases was that they came with The Creating the World of Harry Potter documentary. What sucked is they stacked the discs so the steels will protect my discs better.

If you put on Craigslist or even Facebook marketplace that you were selling movies for .50 a pop..I bet you’d get some takers.

[Batman1980]

I dunno, I see bulk listings of BDs on FB marketplace all the time with pictures of them going for $.50-$1 each and the pictures never seem to change. Probably why retailers are flat out refusing to buy them, most people probably just don't want physical media anymore.

Actually I see a couple that would indicate movies are being sold. Perhaps if I take nice clean pictures that show what I have and list them for $1 each OBO I could get some interest. I am almost positive I'm not working tomorrow so that'd probably be a good thing to do and a decent use of the camera on my severely overpriced smartphone.

Just got home and the front yard smells like a skunk exploded.
