No subject,potpourri topics,random thoughts..Post away!

[bsfins]

This thread isn't meant for one topic,just a place to post your random thoughts...Maybe not worth a whole new thread...So post away....


*My inevitable end to my Netflix subscription (I just get Blu-ray discs) -If the new post office rules take effect,closing sorting centers,post offices,and no Saturday mail....For me,everything will be sent to K.C. and back to mail something across town...So I'd have to send it on Mon.,Netflix gets it Weds,ships weds,I get it Fri...Not much of a service...
If the Post office raises rates to stay the way it is,then Netflix raises it rates...and it's not worth it any more....

*Dexter's last two (maybe thee) episodes this season (NO SPOILERS!) - Seemed like they were written to be a 90 minute episode,and at the last minute decided to have Homeland 90 minutes and split the finale of Dexter into 2- 60 minute episodes....The last few episodes were,not really all that good for a season finale IMO. It felt like a lot of rewrite filler stuff....

*Homeland (1 Spoiler type thing if you haven't seen the whole season) - I really liked this show,but I'm afraid it's gonna be a 1 season wonder for me...

(SPOLIER time!)
IMO Kerry being fired from the CIA,and mental break down,kind of kills the show.It's burn notice...

* Rudeness- Lately for me,it seems like I've noticed more beyond rude,just plain....Classless,uncivil,disobedience,I'm sorry I don't have a word...A few things recently
Twitter,in itself seems to be rampant sometimes....So I'll skip those....

 1.) I was standing in line at the grocery store,non speedy check out,the lady in front of us both had $200 worth of groceries.When I walked up she was half through,the guy bellows out,"People with full carts better not be writing a check..." Thankfully the cashier sniped back,and threatened to have him escorted out of the store...

2.) In Sears,an employee bumped a guy,when the guy realized he worked there,he let off a line of obscenities.....

What will normal society be,is this from social media being able to comment and bitch about everything?

*The Holidays- I really wasn't able to get my full Clark W. Griswald on this year,but I'm so Holidayed (sp?),wait maybe "Holiday" out already this year....Please just bring January,so normal might return...

- I am bugged that mobile devices: phones, tablets, etc -- sometimes have a specific mobile version of the site and it sucks.  It's worse when you CAN'T see the regular version.  It's even worse when a FREE site makes you buy an APP to view it on certain devices.

I wish I could sell everything in my house, and start all over.  Clothing especially.  If I had a modest sum of money to fill needs all at once, I'd have done it much differently than I have over the past 15 years.

^^ I kind of agree,not everything,but a lot of stuff....Start with the Futon,the former JVC DLP T.V. I had,my first Blu-ray player,Wii,etc,etc...Man Brian is right....

* Wondering aloud - Why does my gas hot water heater,and my gas circulator (heater) required to be vented outside,yet my gas free standing range/oven isn't....

Not feeling the fact that a lot of games are going the way of unlocks and leveling up. Gone are the days of having most items at your disposal. If I wanted to level up and get better shit the more I played, I'd play an RPG. I understand that it's the developer's way of keeping (the majority of) players coming back to play THEIR GAME, and this is what gaming (multiplayer) has turned into, but it just doesn't work for me. Damn this new generation of players/developers. I'm screwed.

I'm thinking about golf.  And my wife's tits.  Also the number 8.  We don't really need it so I'm getting rid of it and replacing it with double 4.

I'm going to start an affirmative action program for letters also.  There are too many S's and not enough z's  So I've taken words and names and changed them to reflect this.  Also there aren't enough SN sounds in words.  So Social studies just became Snocial Studies.

The tribe in my head has spoken.

The new google phone, Samsung something... just came out last week, has it built into its browser to request the desktop site so you aren't stuck on the mobile site.

^ That sounds great.

Nivea cool kick arctic freeze wash & shave gel - I saw this in an article about the best products for men,I already enjoy Nivea shaving products,and Thought it would be good in my travel a bag in a pinch.It's in a little squeeze tube,not a can,so smaller makes it easy to travel with.I tried it a couple of weeks ago and really liked it,haven't stopped...Bye Bye can,welcome the tube...I love the menthol stuff in feels good while shaving,even with my super sensitive skin.I admit it's different it doesn't foam up,which for me shaves better,because I see those spots I tend to miss or not get close enough with the foams...Down side it is it costs almost 3 times as much as the can,with my luck they'll discontinue it...

^^^^ Must be nice.  My beard goes through electric razors like shit through a goose.

Sometimes at work I would pee in the dumpster.  It isn't like a get even or I hate my job thing, but for some reason when it's really cold outside and then I go into a heated building, the first thing I have to do is pee.

*Lesson Learned - When it's important,NEVER Trust the post office...

Explanation...Tuesday night 12-20-2011 11PM-ish,the water diverter valve on my washing machine finally gave away beyond repair.Looked through my local parts supplier book,it says special order,so they aren't going to have it locally stocked.I scrounge around online find it online,the shipping price is around $8 for priority 2-3 days,UPS and fedex were double that for the same time period...They shipped promptly Weds. morning,day to expect was Friday 23rd.I figure with Christmas,it might be late it will be Sat. the 24th...No mail today observe Christmas day....My part arrived in Hazelwood Mo. Friday, processed through,and left,before it actually posted the arrival scan..Last night processed through Des Moines Iowa (ironically where I was born)......Sigh....Another night at the laundry mat...*See Above...

Since when was it standard practice to open up and unbox items in a store you MIGHT purchase? AND LEAVE IT OPENED!  :/

- I like this store in the mall called Express.  So, I signed up for their email list to receive coupons and stuff.  They email me EVERY SINGLE DAY.  It's irritating.  I wish they'd lay off just a little bit.  ...damn.  Email me once a month, if you must.  It's just too much.

I'm actually unsubscribing to a bunch of stores that I frequent that do the same thing. I love getting their discounts or sales info, but not everyday. It's just too much.
