The "What's on your mind?" thread - Page 755 - Blu-ray Forum

Mind.. not a lot actually. Debating which zoo I want to go to next weekend. I’m thinking Pittsburgh, but maybe Columbus. Toledo is the best but a tad too far for a day trip at my kids ages.

Was browsing the movie section of Target. There was a customer who couldn't find what he was looking for, so he asked an employee if they had the 4K Blu-ray of Doctor Strange in stock. Now I immediately knew that such an item doesn't exist, but would they have wanted a total stranger telling them that? So I just let the employee spend five minutes trying to look it up.

It was a good day. I finally saw Infinity War and my Black Panther 4K UHD Steelbook arrived today too.

I think my phone is not liking the heat. It has slowed considerably.

Thanks for asking. Long story short, belt and alternator are fine on the Jaguar and the alternator isn't an culprit with my wife's Accord's dash light issues. With the Jag it was the fuel filter and not the battery, which took a hit when the neighbor left the passenger side light on. When I used the Accord to jump it the next day the only light that came on was the check engine light. Which has been a constant issue for ages despite having it regularly serviced. Since we're selling it soon, we're not going to put anymore money in it if we don't have to. This is my wife's last week. Both are driveable. So I'm going to be putting both cars on Craig's List soon.

Fast forward to today, this random guy asked me the same question about his girlfriend.

The next time this happens to you and you know it is going to say these words verbatim and with conviction. "Why, do you think I've got a shot?"

i would've said something after the employee walked away to look. it's not being weird or strange, it's being helpful. imo, that doesn't happen enough.

and i'm not saying you're not helpful, by any means. it's just in situations like this, just saying something to let them know it doesn't exist is helpful. maybe they went to a few other places looking for it. with some information, it could save them some time and effort.

I think it's flattering when I notice a dude checking out my wife or any of my previous girlfriends. It used to make me a bit angry, but I grew outta that.
I couldn't imagine asking anyone if they were or not, It should be obvious.
Like sk33tr said, it must be validation, which seems immature.

Is that from Bestbuy?
Mine hasn't shipped from Zavvi yet. It'll take forever to get over here too.

So usually I take about 40-45 minutes in the shower, but today it took a while for the hot water to kick in and it took me a little over an hour. Despite the claim you can swim with it, I always take my Apple Watch off before showering, alas I now have an empty spot.

I went to bed a little after midnight, that’s why it shows a single marker at the 12am spot.

Wait, you're a dude and you take 40-45 minute showers? I won't even ask what you do in there...

Even tho it arrived early, I probably won't be able to watch it until next week anyway.

The World's Largest Pizza slice!

Two slices in under 30-minutes, I think I can do it.

An installer rose for all the mom's out there. After all, you're all out of this world to us.

Taken by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Bright young stars fill this rosebud shaped
cloud of gas & dust, known as a nebula. A recent census of the cluster reveals
the presence of 130 young stars. The stars formed from a massive cloud of gas and
dust that contains enough raw materials to create a thousand Sun-like stars.
In a process that astronomers still poorly understand, fragments of this molecular
cloud became so cold and dense that they collapsed into stars. Most stars in our
Milky Way galaxy are thought to form in such clusters.

I'm not feeling up to going to my daughter's Mom's for bbq. Hopefully that changes soon. I've already bought the meat, but that could be picked up.
A long shower and a walk may help.

I have long hair. It takes a while to wash it. I also scrub my toenails and use a pomes stone on my heels. Also I use three types of liquid soap to exfoliate and clean my skin, rather than nasty old bar soap.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness!
