The "What's on your mind?" thread

If I remember correctly, I was approached by one of the super mod's after I was posting over 100 posts a day (maybe more) for like a year or so, I would estimate. I used to contribute a lot more "technical advice or expertise" and answer questions in the home theater threads. Those threads were extremely busy at the time and I was helping as many members as I could.

Well…I haven’t seen the dog in over a month. I wonder if it got hit.

Yeah, your neighbor is not interested by what you're writing on Blu-ray forum; he doesn't give a dog about you.

You're like Batman, ...almost. ... "They come mostly @ night".

I never knew you were a mod until you quoted Driver78's post. sfmarine better not share anything with you because you being a mod will be the first to dime him out

LOL! I would be very sad if I hit a dog. I’ve taken out a helluva lot of deer tho.

That does seem like overkill. Are they finding things during these cleanings? ‘Cause if they’re not…I’d say you should be good.

My insurance only covers two cleanings per year.

Cleanings= a dental practice’s main revenue stream. It could be a slow day for the dentist, but the hygienist is likely loaded up with cleanings.

I miss my old dentist who retired during Covid.

I had neglected my teeth for many years but fell back into the routine after a long absence. They're almost perfect now.

I only have "privileges" in the HT forums...and what I mostly do in those forums these days is deleting spam that new users post.

Wow, Carrie ... very clear picture of that particular scene.
It's . . . huh, ... apocalyptically eerie; between fiction and reality.

We're far to be out of the woods. This is a long-term crisis.
Human casualties are going to be very very tough to assess; because they are completely melted, I'm afraid so of this reality.

This week, this year is not like any others.
We the human race are so much in need of transformation for the good of our future to all ...

Anyone miss out on the Ghostbusters Dolby Vision release? It came out a few years ago in a cool trap box but sold out quickly.

Well you can now get the discs from France. Just the movies, not the special features discs.

Headed to BK and then Costco but I got to talking to this nice guy in the bus. He recently moved up from SoCal and we were taking about food and now I’m craving Taco Bell but the one in this area doesn’t open for another 46 minutes. BK is open now. Hmmm

I did Taco Bell on Thursday and went with their $7 luxe box.

So, I have this spot on the back of neck that looks cancerous. Can you take a look at it?

That is so funny you posted that. I wrote an idea for a story last Saturday dealing with that. The idea was sort of a take on The Matrix where machines eventually take over. But unlike in the Matrix, AI started in those real sex dolls that can communicate. You could plug them in a computer to upload more information, updates, and such. Soon after they started to become sentient and took over. I do believe AI starts in these sex dolls. Look at the future, folks.

I go about every three months or so to my dentist. But my teeth need it. I do fairly well by my teeth, but I could do much better. I really need to do better. Hopefully, this year will be the year.

You make a run for the border then you make a run for the bathroom.

Sex wasn't on my mind; companionship was.

It was worth it, very.
You might give it a go too; it helps (sort of) during these apocalyptic times (LA) ...
