I wonder if that saying "stupid Americans will buy anything" is true, especially after reading this:

SF Standard - We Tried the $23 Pumpkin Spice Latte That Everyone in San Francisco Is Talking About

(a pumpkin spice latte in a pumpkin)

((but then again, I bought a Scooby Doo donut with a candy piece with Scooby Doo's picture from Krispy Kreme))

^ That actually looks pretty awesome. And speaking of pumpkins, I think I'll be having my first...I don't know yet that I'd call it a date but we'll say my first hang-out with this girl I met a couple months back. I actually just gave her a ride and then we kept in touch on FB. She's from Mexico and has only been here a couple months. I think I'll pick her up after work tomorrow and then take her to Half Moon Bay and see what's going on. Apparently Half Moon Bay is the pumpkin capital of the world so I think that will be a good start to the day. We were actually going to hang out back at the beginning of October but I postponed so hopefully tomorrow will be a go.

Also on my mind, I have to start work an hour early at 2am tomorrow so I'm disappointed that I won't be watching a movie tonight. It's only 5:04pm but that's just about bed time for me. Soooooo...boo

Oh yeah, my dad and I did go to a Red Sox game when we visited Boston back in '99. Pedro was pitching that night.

Is English people saying English things a movie genre because if it was, I think that would be my favorite genre

That’s cool you were able to experience Fenway with your dad and got to see Pedro who’s your daddy Martinez.

They were able to get it under control with no surgery. Then my stoma came loose from skin few months later. Passing giant bloodclots size of frisbies. They sealed it with nitrate stuff whatever it's called. Thst your burn and melt the skin. Lowered blood thinner to 2 5mg bc I was losing lots of blood. I was perfectly fine with the 2.5mg. No Pain. Last month I see a new Dr he puts me back on 5mg bc I smtold him I had the bloodclot in intestine. Now I have been hurting. Blockage is back. Acting up again. All signs if acute intestrial ishemia. Earlier tgis week laid in bed all day. Too much pain. And I ate some pizza. Then it got really severe after eating pizza. Like never before. Almost went to emergency room. It went away around 2 or 3am. Plus all the bloating and rumbling. Now it only hurts when I laugh cough or get up out if bed or chair. Minor hurts laying down. And lots and lots of gas and bloating. I really do not want surgery. So hopefully they can get it under control by other means.

Hang in there buddy and never pass up the opportunity when it comes to a second opinion. I had a weird mass on my abdomen but they said it was a benign lipoma. It does not hurt unless I press on it. The surgeon did not recommend I have it removed.

My copy of Halloween 4 is scratched. It played through without issue but it still pisses me off. Debating if I should ask Shout to send a replacement. Just because it plays fine in one player does not guarantee it will in the second or third. So frustrating!

OceanBlue · 10-30-2023, 11:11 PM

Had a pumpkin spice latte at a cafe I go to today. Making the most of them before they gradually disappear for nearly another year (they're an acquired taste at first, but once you get used to that mix of sweet and spicy, they're very nice).

Apart from a sharp, heavy downpour of rain later on this afternoon, today hasn't been too bad, despite the noticeable change with the hours of daylight following UK clocks going back an hour in the early hours of yesterday morning (currently, the UK is four hours ahead of the US Eastern timezone).

The weather just can't make up it's mind what it wants to do with the temperatures. There has been talk of snow on the way. The possible drop in temperatures around the start of next weekend suggests this could happen. Shall have to wait and see.

Another observation: the fireworks have been going off early again (5th November isn't until next Sunday).

lol that's great

Wondering what movie I'm going to watch tonight as I wait for my water (for ramen cup) to boil. I try not to rewatch films too soon after my last viewing. Most of my current unwatched films are foreign and Criterion and sometimes I just want something more relatable. Sooooo, what to watch?

y2jman · 10-30-2023, 11:58 PM

so went to urology basically in a nutshell balanitis<-i do see 1 of symptoms pee hurts a bit going try steroid cream clotrimazole and betamnetasone dipropionate cream<-i think its just ointment not cream it saids 2 weeks night and in mornings

civiclx · 10-31-2023, 04:02 PM

Will be off work in just a few minutes, a little past 9am, and I’m wondering what to do. I’m off tomorrow so I don’t have to be home too early. The plan was to take a bike ride but now I’m not sure.

plissken99 · 10-31-2023, 06:05 PM

Just tried to install an eero Wi-Fi system to simplify my system. Long story short it immediately killed my modem. I’m waiting on a new one from CenturyLink that gets here Friday, deciding whether I should return the eros system to Best Buy or try again on the next modem, but I’m afraid it’ll kill the next one too.

Gotta love all these modern devices…. so streamlined that there are no settings to see what happened when this shit goes down.

sfmarine · 10-31-2023, 06:41 PM

Just fired off a lovely email to Shout Factory requesting 3 disc be replaced due to scratches. They’re gonna give me a hard time about it. Place is a shitshow.

Been noticing on here over the last few months, the increase in posts where members have posted large to very large images without using spoiler tags. Then to make matters worse, another member quoting a post with the same size images and not using spoiler tags.

Some may not know there is a spoiler tag button, but what about those who know there is one?
