i don't go anywhere near parking meters (the nearest one is maybe 20-25 miles from me)
and i don't use the atm

Yes, that is odd

If you're a poor speller, I don't think you should question your intelligence. That is what I tell myself, anyhow. It could be that you never learned to pronounce certain words correctly. I grew up in east Texas and our accent has us all over the map with pronunciation. Here's an example: Tomorrow. When I say this word is sounds like tomarrow, so that's how I used to spell it, but when a silly foreigner says it, they sound it out like it's spelled. That's only 1 example, I'm sure you can think of many more.

What about digitally?

[Show spoiler]It's better, or so I hear, haha

I've been thinking about the 49ers/Seahawks game the last several days and am happy that it's finally on tonight. I can't handle the stress.
With the Oilers doing their usual December flameout and the Canadian World Junior beatdown yesterday, a 49er win sure would help my disposition.
I don't know why or how I get so emotionally involved. They're just sports teams.
But man, it's gonna be exciting! I'm guessing that the neighbours in the houses next door will know wether my team is winning or losing.

More of a fashion statement then anything these days imo. Still a nice watch is a handy item to have as phones have become so oversized these days.

I’ve worn a watch every day of my life since I was a child, the only thing that’s changed is the type of watch.

The first watch I ever owned was the The Legend of Zelda Watch Game watch. I wish I still had it.

I just got a new watch last week for Christmas. It is my fourth Bulova. It is my first watch with a NATO strap and I love it. My others have metal or leather straps, which I like, but they get cumbersome after a while. I am usually ready to take it off by the time I get home.

I will admit that I wear watches mostly for fashion. I am conditioned to grab my phone if I am looking for the time.

I bought National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on digital recently, this is the 4th time I bought the movie. It’s a really good movie!

I'm playing the movie-actor game in the movies forum and the last movie mentioned is Inside Man and now I'm trying to think of an actor who I thought was in it and I couldn't remember his name. It just came to me though. I think his first name is Titus. I just checked and Titus Welliver was not in Inside Man. He was in The Town so maybe that's where I got confused.

The squirrel scene almost killed me.

For a week or two I've had my eye on a hoodie that is $70 dollars. Problem is that it is an online order and I can't see it in person. I want to feel what the quality is like because at $70 dollars it had better be damn good. I'm fine with dropping that kind of cash if the quality is there. I'm torn because I love the overall design but if it's the same material that I can buy at Walmart for under $10 then I'll be disappointed. I also want to see the difference in sizes because I tend to go for a size up, rather than my actual size. I don't want it being too baggy.

Sitting here wondering what I’m doing to ring in the new year? Part of me wants to come back to this bar later tonight. Because I don’t like the idea of being on my own. I ran into this on Christmas Day last week. I’ll probably go grab some beer and whatever I can to tied me over until payday. However, payday isn’t until Friday and I need to watch my money too.

Please give us the whole story, because this sounds delicious.

Holy crap! Look at all of those forum members that have b-days on Jan. 1st.

wondering why people would talk about something, online, that should remain very private.

if i was planning on doing something that was meant to protect something/someone else, and meant to be hidden, i wouldn't talk about it online with ANYONE. hell, i wouldn't tall anyone in real life except for the person i live with as i trust them with my life.

this person didn't disclose any details and the only information about where he lives is hit state. but that's a start to someone who might be well-determined to find out exactly where he lives. and he DID say what he might be trying to hide. and what he's trying to hide is quite valuable.

this reminds of Last Gamer in Australia that has a huge video game collection conversely John Hancock is more private but does make some good video game videos.

Edit: I joined in 2009. i'd never expected to be on here still. I love the place

The better question is why do you use AT&T in the first place?
