The "What's on your mind?" thread

[travisbickle]

Amazing the amount of people on Ebay who list video games as in "like new condition" and they actually include pics of the backside of the disc and it's clearly full of scratches, finger print smudges, food stains...

Are these people on drugs or are they really that oblivious?

Summer's coming up with a bang ...

Kinds of Kindness Trailer #1 (2024) - YouTube

This should hit real hard @ the box office; even harder than Furiosa ... I predict. ...Kinds of Kindness.
Hey, double Oscar actress winner Emma Stone!

And that, was on my mind briefly for the short trailer during time. It still resonates in the back of my brain.

Good movies matter, very

The world was a better place before computers, iPhones and TV news. Men had to climb mountains and fight cougars and mammoths to find a matching female partner.

How I can get money and how I can get relief from

[Show spoiler]BB

without usual obvious means. And, OF COURSE, how I can get back on the track that I am usually on.


Sweet dreams playing in my head
tired of these played out games
want to get back to you instead
follow my dreams, follow my love
stop leaving myself so cold and dead

But what am I to do
if I don't, I don't have you
walk the earth, travel the moon
in there is there a clue.....

I have a feeling the same will be true for Djokovic.

Also, I want a motorcycle

Same here as a Federer fan. Never cheered against Nadal but typically pulled for his opponents since i knew he would give federer a hard time. He will be missed when he's gone.

This reminds me of kobe Bryant. I respected him but always cheered for lebron. The year after kobe retired I immediately felt his presence missing from the game.

I am 99% sure I accidentally left my copy of Cryptonomicon at the Telshor Planet Fitness location. I should probably call them soon and ask so I can go get it back or start figuring out how to continue reading it in a different copy of the book.

Hoping that super volcano in Italy Naples stays down for another 50 years it went off in 3 mega eruptions in the the last 40.000 years and things are happening there now so it could be big trouble for Europe and the world years of clouds the food supply etc who knows. Let's hope we will be lucky again this time at least for another few decades Also lots of people are living there right on that spot but if it goes off they probably have no chance to escape anyway.So far they have that earthquake house damage going on



it seems we don't really have to worry

Where did you leave it?

Well the last place I remember having it is reading it while my 9-3 M-W individual was getting in a quick afternoon gym session so I'm guessing that's where it is. Maybe I'll call them later today and ask if there's any books there so I can go get it. If not I'll just try to start reading it again around page 700 in a different copy since I'm 99% certain I was past page 700 and even if length of pages is different that should be safe.

Right but did you leave it on a treadmill or bike or in the locker room? Someone probably took it if you left it in the gym. Typically if a book is left in a common area it could be interpreted as the person finished it and is now passing it on.





Hopefully it turns up.

[Batman1980]

Yeah I left it in the area by the entrance, I doubt most gym rats read (since most people don't read, period). Guessing either a customer who sat down there or an employee picked it up. If not, I have a general idea where I was so flipping through to around page 700 should get me going again and then I can finish it.

Some of my best friends . . . are book readers.

Expecting a package from Amazon today. Went to track it and it has a weird letter beginning with TBA. Apparently that is the Amazon shipping identifier. Only problem is we don’t get the trucks out in the woods. Only USPS…I don’t think I’ll be getting it today.

I dont know why but your post reminded me of the episode where George tries to return a book..

[sfmarine]

Batman better disinfect that thing if he is able to find it.

I had a case where my package never made it to me, and it had the long-awaited sneakers I was looking forward to. Then I had to argue with the site's customer support for a long time about it. I hope you have better luck!!!
