The neverending search for more money to pay for that purchase!

Finally popped open Confusion again, gotta read more often!

Much much more affordable than this

My left foot had a metatarsal fracture that has healed in the interval with angulated deformity. It happened a few years ago. In the last year it has become harder to walk and is very painful at times. I should have had surgery to fix it a long time ago. I keep putting it off. Healing takes 3 months at least and full recovery longer. Sigh. I already had a metatarsal break 15 to 20 years ago with a screw needed. Back then I walked everyday and it was a stress fracture. I'm a 100 lbs. heavier and can't walk with out pain to get the exercise. I have put it off for too long.

On another note pest control came to my apartment building yesterday. Downstairs the slobs are having roach issues. Me, I use Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade stuff spread liberally around certain areas. I haven't seen a roach in a long time and just put more down.

Heading into this 9-6 shift! Long wait for the cowboys game, forgot my ear buds on the charger so tonight's 18 mile dreadmill run attempt will be with hearing aids instead

Went to Walmart to grab Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 4K. Apparently the slip is disappearing fast so I wanted to get it before it was too late. It’s really nice with the embossing. Unfortunately they all had damage due to the crappy shelves at Walmart but at least I got one.

A League of Their Own is another release where the slip is becoming HTF even though it just came out.

Giants & Vikings today. isn’t that Wabo’s team? My cousin is also a huge Browns fan along with the rest of the family on that side as they’re mostly from Ohio, so the Cowboys game will be a good one!

[Batman1980]

I hope the cowboys clean their clocks! Vikings should win but dual threat quarterbacks give their defense trouble.

You just reminded me how Best Buy no longer carries physical media Thanks for that!

[Batman1980]

Nice images! Yeah still can't believe bb no longer stocks physical media.

[sfmarine]

.gif fail!

Yeah…freaking Best Buy. Good times back in the day when they had rows of movies. Going on Release day Tuesday while in college every week was a lot of fun.

Haven’t been inside one in months. They sell scooters and lawn mowers now.

[Batman1980]

More like worst buy! Pressed the call button here awhile ago to ask facility staff to hoyer lift my client into his bed, still no response. About to whip out the oled switch and fire up shin megami tensei 5 vengeance.

Tyreek Hill arrested before the game in Miami today.

Taco Bell or Burger King for lunch? Or Costco?

Also have to remember to do some online searching for a gift for my mom. My last full day in Georgia will be on her birthday and I want to see if I can find a nice experience, like a spa for example, over a physical gift.

Taco Bell gets my vote. The Costco $1.50 hot dog combo is hard to beat tho.

I was thinking about Costco but I’ll probably go tomorrow after my VA appointment. Actually, I may go to Chili’s afterward unless I’m working tomorrow night. I signed up for ray off OT but not sure if I’ll work.

For now, it’s that $5 your way meal from BK. The only reason I was even considering Taco Bell is because it’s almost happy hour and the medium soda would only cost a dollar lol
Did they ever bring back the empanada?

[BizCat]

So excited that I won my pool match tonight against a quality opponent. Such a good feeling.

I think they brought it back for a short time earlier in the year. I miss the quesarito.

Another shot from the recent Titanic expedition. Remarkable how the anchors still look- as if they were forged yesterday.

Thinking about tomorrow's 2-8 shift in anamosa, will bump tomorrow's upper body session to today and run 3 miles right after I get off at 12 then shower and head to the second shift.

Anyone watching the Apple Event?

[AuYeung]

I'm not a young buck by any means but in all my years, I've never heard anyone say this before:

"If she thinks she's going to be allowed to stay out past her curfew, she's got another think coming."

This came up in an online discussion recently and really threw me. Apparently this is a thing (you see what I did there?) in the UK because the word "think" is often used as a noun. (Like "Don't buy that car just yet. Have a good think first.")

I watch a fair bit of TV and movies from there but don't remember ever hearing anyone say "have another think coming."

Ironically Judas Priest is a British band but their song (on their official Youtube channel) is titled "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" which is the expression that I've ever heard all my life.

My guess is that non-Brits are familiar with "thing" as opposed to "think" when it comes to this expression. But I could be wrong. I guess this is as a good place as any to get people's thoughts about this.
