The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Strumm]

I'm in the homestretch of high school, but I'm graduating a year early after being accepted into an early admit program at the local community college. I wonder if I would have a better shot at making friends with an extra year of school, and how much easier the transition to becoming an adult would be with an extra year (not that I won't survive this way)

I don't know why this came to mind. I don't think you're being cocky and a genuine, heartfelt GREAT JOB for you.

They want to make movie out of norwegian western book hero Morgan Kane.....about 40-50 yrs too late (author wanted Clint but they could never have afforded him anway unless Clint wouldve done it just for fun and not $$$)

I know I could and probably should ask this in a subforum here: but I'm gathering my Amazon Fire Cube is glitching because it's reaching it's capacity, Netflix is crashing, YouTube TV is having recording issues, HBO MAX and Discovery Plus take forever to load ... factory reset, or just buy a newer model ??? what to do, what to do??

Waiting for my 9:30-1:00, 2:00 and 4:00 Zoom training sessions to begin

I'm weening myself off of Facebook, I just very randomly (and rarely now) post things to 'gloat'

but NOW I waste A LOT of time on TikTok ... (damn it ~ I have no will power)

I dabbled on the Pro Tools artists program. It turns out the Pro tools program I downloaded does not allow you to simply plug in your guitar or other instruments via USB to use it. You have to have other stuff I think. Which I don't have. I ended up recording more on GarageBand. Not liking it, but oh well. What can you do?

Ditch them all and go to physical media only. It's what I do. Except for the occasional YouTube and the occasional 4K adult download. I haven't looked back.

I really need to ditch HBO Max, outside of the first run movies that were being released last year, nothing has been a must watch - started to watch 'The Gilded Age' but lost interest. All the other streaming services I DO use and watch, and I have to get my cable channels via YouTube TV since I don't have cable and OTT air TV is spotty and some channels don't come in (I like watching TV on my actual TV and not via my computer BTW).

I am taking a break from this morning's zoom training. Found out about a job fair next Thursday at the convention center that includes behavioral health jobs. Definitely going to that, might get lucky.

the amount of time, it's taking my Amazon Fire Cube to update, it hasn't been updated since last August, hence why it's acting weird, is ridiculous ... the woman from Amazon customer service has had to call me twice since this is taking a very very VERY long time ~ it's currently still trying to update as I'm typing this... (eye roll).

I always wanted to do a film that would make end of evangelion look like a Disney G rated film. I may never do that. But it's always a nice thought to have.

Why have I been so tired and sleepy all day? I got a full 8 hours but have barely been able to keep my eyes open all day. It's not even 9 pm yet but I'm just gonna have a huge tub of vanilla ice cream and go back to bed.

getting back to the zodiac... I keep wondering if somebody has already done that. I'm obsessed with thinking I might be the only one that wants that done. It's not like there is a tattoo database somewhere. maybe the government has one since they have one about soulmates. we all have microchips in us now.

I got permanently banned from facebook and twitter about tn years ago, give or take a few years, and I haven't gone back to any social media, don't need it. Before then, I had MySpace, which I admit I really liked. Too bad they made bad choices and lost out to FB.

I quit HBO Max because they stopped streaming theatrical releases on the same day as they premiered. I went to Paramount +, they have a decent catalog but I admit HBO Max has better movies to offer. I'll probably cut that off soon also, Right now I have Peacock premium and SHUDDER, which is my go-to streaming channel. I just wish they changed their line-up more often and included more choices. Still, very happy with that one.

It's hailing like a MOFO right now.

Wish I knew what was going on with my Love, she hasn't been feeling well all day. This morning I thought she was just hung over (she had one too many glasses of wine last night) but she seemed to be getting worse as the day went on. I went out to run some errands and when I got back she was laying on the bathroom floor covered in vomit. I cleaned her up and got her back in bed. If that happens again I'm taking her to the ER whether she likes it or not, it's really scaring me.

My Taurus is mine nobody lays a finger on her

I'm down to the last episode (of 10) for The Terror S1 and I don't want it to end so I'm not sure if I'll watch an episode tonight. I do have season 2 but maybe for tonight, I'll watch some I Love Lucy and save Terror for tomorrow. I didn't get right into it from the beginning but I'm sure into it now.

so I learn something new today if got prime and you have a lot on amazon gift card balance they will take that out of gift card instead visa card they took out 16.41 now I didn't like that I got that refund back amazon gift card 55.20 that was saying past few weeks yesterday and this morning<-had to call amazon because chat refuse to refund me back to gift card

so women updated never charge me gift card amazon prime credit card only<-come next month back to normal still got that prime

was extremely nervous when I check amazon balance was holding off used it next tues btw

this is 1st time happen to me I always pay prime visa card never with amazon gift card very upset but at least for now on I will only pay credit card not from a gift card if I still got a balance haven't used starting next month and got that refund that was taken off gift 16.41 back on gift card and still have that 55.20 remain balance again




have anybody had this issue before if you got a good decent balance amazon gift card and you don't used it and day you have to pay for amazon prime they will just take it out from gift card balance automatically without saying a word?
