not all of them. i have dual monitors and neither of them have built-in speakers. i have small desktop speakers i use when i play a pc game, watch movies/videos (when i don't want to use my ht), or listen to music. i'd like to get some better speakers with a small sub, but...priorities.

so after watching she wolves about English queens presented by the book's author which I might have to try to find. For some reason Elizabeth I will always be my favorite though the one's before her are great too.

I suppose it is modern thinking but I would enjoy being the subject of a Queen more than having a King. Hell if all governments were lead by women I'd be happy with it even if they would be chaste.

I wonder why I do dumb stuff sometimes lordy


only an idiot walks out of fitting room at belk with 3 shorts a shirt 1 shorts hanger in right hand and other left hand instead of in his pockets left hand somehow manage to drop phone face down on floor he thought ok looks at light see a stright scratch line left going to right top screen protector for a normal person they would say oh well if you know me something bad happens i gotta do something about there was no way i could had haindle going to disney world sat-weds sunlight beaming down i look at phone see that no sir went over battery plus bulbs was thinking about getting another mahngo tempored glass screen protector 27 bucks not like had it 2 times in past i decided to go over cellular accesories i see a product for an example saying 9x 3x just like it just name different tekya its 10 bucks some change hey its time for a change let the guy put it on at least don't have to see that dog hair in middle no more old screen

part 2 long story

i kindof got up early yesterday not sure right arm was somewhat sore must been 1 of the shoulders machines did too much monday afternoon pulled a muscle perhaps went easiest weight went out lunch instead go back home went to belk and we all know how that story came about stupid floors you know your in little pain when couldn't slide right arm into sleeve stay long time walk outside with a ragdoll arm dangling by my side come on that night 3 am in morning took 2 tylenol couldn't sleep pain so i thought instead of laying in bed whine and cry saying i think need to go to doctor or get stronger medicine i decided big man go take a taxi take classes get that right shoulder loosen up so we thought got their early missed 1st 2 classes due to my phone issue got their little late legs shoulders i see trainer at desk well no class treadmill then leg machines going to try 5 lb dumbbells 2,3 times maybe that might help then i do easy row/delete machine nada you know when you get on bed hydo massage then get out using that sore right arm its rough i did take 2 equals got home its so bad jerk that arm or have to scrub head shampoo well i hope i can sleep good tonight and surely dangling sore arm/shoulder goes away soon perhaps need stronger medicine like iburofen or something like that because it sure lights you up like a roman candle meh


to summarize everything up for ya good fine people drop phone belk last night on floor fitting room with screen protector phone face down

I get it look at light see long scatch would ignore but got a screen protector cheap 10 bucks basically same thing as what I currently had on didn't have to pay 27 bucks

plus had right arm/shoulders pain issues yesterday and today due to shoulder machines mon thought ease pain up today by going back try dumbbells and row delete machine can't do much right arm without that sharp pain might need stronger medicine to take hope sleep less pain tonight

[Head bugs]

wondering what makes a school think it's a good idea to require tickets to attend a family member's graduation. also, wondering why they thought it was a good idea to have it somewhere other than the school.

when i was in school, it was always held at the football stadium. there was always plenty of parking, plenty of seats, etc. and you didn't need a ticket to attend. you could have as many people there supporting you as you wanted.

now, they have limited seating, limited parking, and you're required to have a ticket to attend. and every student gets a set amount of tickets available for family members.

the hell kind of shit is that?! just.....stupid

I don't understand why mine was at another high school in the county instead of on our football field. The gym was really small. It didn't even rain.

That's a big decision! You have a lot of unique/limited edition titles that would be hard to rebuy if you changed your mind later. Maybe keep those, just in case! :-)

I just need to go and write them all up so i can post it for sale.

Are you going to try to sell them as one big lot on ebay or will you let people piece pick? How much are you thinking about asking for (for your whole collection)?

I always wonder if people selling huge collections on ebay get what they are asking for and how it compares to what they initially spent on their collection. I feel like I'd never get close to what I spent, which is probably why I haven't sold much yet... although I have thought about it! It might be freeing to not have a huge collection to haul around every time I move.

Whatever you decide, good luck!! A move can be really exciting!

I left a few years ago. Lol.
I do, but no, everything is going to be sold.


No, not for a job.
Not sure how much I'm selling it for.


Feel free to pm for in-depth discussion.

I use a prescription cream that has 10% diclofenac. It’s like Voltaren, but stronger.
To me it’s a miracle drug and is the only thing that helps.

I don’t think you should be taking that pain killer. It’s likely addicting and that’s not a good thing.

thinking of my younger niece and how proud i am of her. she graduated tonight...

and she wore my dad's dog tags around her neck since he couldn't be there in person (passed away in 2010).

I love the sentiment of that to you niece!

It’s been a bit cool since I got here, even snowed once, and I’m hoping that the rain I see on my window means winter is over.

I haven’t seen civikx around for awhile. Has he fallen in love and run off?

Not sure. We typically chat daily and he has not been on at all, without a warning.

I packed up 132 27 gallon totes with my collectibles when we moved cross country. So unless you’re downsizing, why give up something you enjoy

Hoping our son isn’t a total dink today. Because I really don’t want to go anywhere like my wife suggested; but I also don’t want to be outside all day. At 9 I feel it’s too young for puberty

i have quite a few totes full of stuff that i can't put out because i simply don't have the room, at this time.

my first ever concert was foreigner - the agent provocateur tour. they actually shot a video for one of their songs from that album at that concert.

Yeah, right now my collection is in the attic, which will eventually be my inner sanctum 2.0. But I want to get the foundation and some other minor things fixed around here before I get that done. Because I have to find someone who can do an actual remodel so I can utilize the entire attic and insure that I don’t disturb anyone when I’m up there. Fingers crossed I can get that done soonish. I hate that I don’t have anywhere to be on my own.

It's Memorial Day (weekend) so naturally thanks to all the reminders on TV/radio, I've been thinking a lot about my old buddy, we were best friends all through middle and high school, I slacked off in high school and graduated a year after he did. He wanted to do something with his life so he enlisted in the US Army, while in AIT he met the love of his life and they had a kid...~3 months prior to her birth he volunteered for a 2nd deployment to Iraq(still not sure why he did this)...6 months later he returned home in a casket. Every now and then I think about him and how I wish I took school serious, graduated on time and enlisted with him - maybe things would have ended differently and we'd still be together.

RIP SPC Mike Goode
See ya later, buddy!
