Demand would be higher than they could produce.

Except you don't need to be an engineer, or even have a degree, to assemble items on an assembly line.

But you still need to know how to solder small wires and stuff.

These Fieldcrest bath mats at Target feel heavenly but $19.99 is more than I want to spend. Wonder what they were during the CW bed and bath sale they had recently.

Oh ok, even worse when you're reminded that the rug was in the wrong spot and they're actually $29.99 for the 38"x24"

Keep forgetting I haven't put up a new ava, so there is a slight heartbeat skip when I see one of my posts, at first. I think I've been suspended for some reason.

How many people, other than me, watch The Star Wars Holiday Special every year on Christmas?

I used to, but i only did so for 5 years.
I got the tape at a Con but lost it in a move.

I finally found the name of a song that I first heard a few years ago. It was a hip hop song and I only could remember something about MJ and domestic violence. I finally googled what I thought was the hook, something about lights, and it turns out it's Kanye's All Of The Lights.

I should know by now NOT to put Blu-ray Discs on my Christmas list.

An aunt asked me for an Xmas list two weeks ago so I put half a dozen BDs on the list. I put the words "BLU-RAY DISCS" in bold face capital letters so that there would be no confusion.

And I got a DVD...sigh.

Hey, it's Christmas. I was gracious and kept my mouth shut. If somebody givess you something for free, don't whine about it.

It's my fault. After 10 years, I should realize that nobody in my family knows the difference between BD and DVD.

Next year, I'm asking for socks .

I just checked flights on Expedia from SJ to London in May and the cheapest is $593 It's 15 hours and 15 minutes and gets to London-Heathrow at 11:05am. That is awesome. The next cheapest flight is a United flight at a little over $604. I was expecting the cheapest flight to be around $1,100.

Well I'm not going anywhere but I always like to check these things lol The one layover is 3+ hours in Vancouver, British Columbia which would be cool with me. I wouldn't leave the airport but I'm sure flying into it would be just as spectacular as flying into Seattle was on my way to Germany.

You only check those if you're making a get away of sorts.

Although that’s never happened to me, before BD was a thing and I’d ask for movie on DVD, I’d be very specific I wanted the widescreen version and often got the fullscreen instead. Thank goodness BD stopped that nonsense of selling the same movie in two different aspect ratios.
