It could just mean they don't have an ETA for when it will be restocked.

Thanks. I ordered it from Home Depot instead. Best Buy's loss

Today is my parents 49th anniversary. They went to McDonalds and each got a fish fillet sandwich. They lead such exciting lives.

I do and I’m no metro lol.

Maybe for the big one - their 50th - they'll splurge and get a Combo meal

fighthefutureofhd · 06-03-2022, 04:12 PM

Maybe for their 60th, they'll really go hog wild and get a happy meal. The toys inside can be their gifts to each other.

Good reasons to do so.

Interesting. Generally speaking, a good portion of men that do shave are either metro or gay. Or at least it seems that way Of course, some of that has changed over the years. It used to be almost exclusive to dudes who prefer dudes. People had no idea why one would do that too. A lot's happened in 25 years.

Not gay either.

I just like how it feels. Recently got circumcised and everything just feels more hygienic when I shave also.

I see the 4K of Dune is at a nice price and am wondering wether I should get it or not.
I didn't like the book when I tried to read it eons ago nor did I like the movie from way back either.
It's supposed to be stellar for a/v and would like it for that. But if I hate the movie, will I finish it? Will I be wasting my hard earned cash?
Hmmm...

fighthefutureofhd · 06-04-2022, 04:36 PM

I wish I had your quandary.

There are so many great movies on 4K UHD that are on sale right now and I don't have the extra money for any of them. I'm nearing payday and I've got to make what I have stretch a few more days. Plus, I've got a lot of medicines to get and need my money for that. Not to mention I am going out of town in less than 5 days. Oh well. First world problems, right.

LordoftheRings · 06-04-2022, 10:50 PM

The price of 4K Blu-rays in Kanada is a huge rip-off.
Particularly since the beginning of the year...Amazon, BestBuy, Walmart, ...
And add the price of gas and food and houses and cars and smartphones and movie tickets and everything else in life. I don't see the light @ the end of the tunnel anytime soon; to the contrary, I think it's gong to get worse before else. Strap yourself for the ride that's coming up ... you can't stop the inevitable.

* Time for my peanut butter/jelly sandwich.

When she first entered the United States of America she was arrested, detained, handcuffed, thoroughly searched, interrogated, dehumanized, terrorized, ... for absolutely nothing! I'm a follower of hers so I know her traveling style; peaceful and lovely.

This coronavirus I've been having since Thursday is annoying but I am willing to bet my symptoms are cake compared to a lot of people's.

Scarriere · 06-05-2022, 04:47 PM

My wife is taking a test right now. She's been sick and has been around a couple of people who've gotten it.
Her brother gave her a kit that has two tests. I'll only do one if she tests positive.

y2jman · 06-05-2022, 05:33 PM

stvn1974 · 06-05-2022, 07:12 PM

Sigh, I can't believe we are so close to the 4th of July. This year has gone by fast so far. Time really does fly when you are old.

Yup my weekend job asked me to get a clinical test to verify and the results are positive. My mother asked me why I exposed the people at Wal-Green's to coronavirus. Based on my knowledge of coronavirus safety protocols, I did not. I was in my car, the tech was inside, he handled my swabs with gloves and he was never directly exposed to my droplets unless he made a mistake.
