Not dinner, but I do eat it.

That's the only place to put it with all the other stuff in there.

Nope. The oven is in my RV.

:grin2:

If that is an RV sink it's one of the fanciest RV sinks I've seen in a while.

Not looking forward to the cold weather this year. It never used to bother me but I have really lost my enthusiasm for bitter cold that even cuts through walls stuffed with insulation. When the wind blows here in the dead of winter you can literally feel the slightest bit of that ice cold air that gets through the tiniest cracks. You know it's cold out when you can hear the entire structure you're in creaking and groaning at sunset.

Remember one day last year it was so cold the front door was frozen shut. Looked outside and thought I saw a tumbleweed blow past. Cleaned the **** out of my eyes and realized it was a garbage can. Where the hell did that come from? I don't know but there it was. An actual large plastic garbage can carried by the ice cold wind just blowing by in the parking lot.

I like to think I would have been a doctor or medic if I had been more social. I have an intense curiousity for anything medical.

I think they call that "morbid curiosity".

When younger most guys listened to this -

I think I still have the cassette around somewhere.

I wore out at least two of them, I think. I probably even wore out at least one car stereo with a DL tape still in it. :lol

 

[WillYouStopDave]

Woah. :O

Makes one feel old when talk about cassette tapes.

Still have a stereo system in my car that was built around cassette tape technology. I still wonder if it plays tapes.

I finally let go of my last two cassette Walkmans a couple years ago when I found them in my garage in a plastic tote. One of them had Appetite For Destruction still in it and the other one had that Chicago greatest hits that has sold a zillion copies or something.

Neither of them worked. Well, the radio did in one but the tape section didn't work. The batteries were the old Duracells from the 90s and none of them had corroded (unlike the Duracells I bought at Costco a couple months ago which have corroded all over the place in every single thing I put them in).

I was kind of hoping one of them would work. I wanted to see how it sounded with real headphones instead of those junky things they came with in those days.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

Just my luck. I bought the little 1.7 cube mini fridge a few months back and I just saw the large 3.8 (or somewhere in the 3s) with the separate freezer at Costco on sale for $70 a few days ago. Same damn price I paid for the tiny one. I knew I shoulda waited for the Costco one to go on sale.

Some people have said this thread should be merged with the "Random Thought Of The Day" and "How Are You Feeling?" threads. Does anyone agree with this, or are they different enough to be separate threads?

I think they certainly are samey enough to be merged.

Hate the sappy music that is played in the background of some of the self-help videos I've been watching. That music is so awful that I end up shutting some of the videos off, even when the content is good. Too hard to tune out and concentrate on the info being spoken.

I usually end up not watching such videos because the stuff they tell you to do to help yourself is useless if you don't believe in it. Like if they tell you to wad your pain up like a piece of trash and throw it away. It's just laughable. It might be more helpful to religious people. I'm the complete opposite. Very reality/fact oriented. I can't even really watch most fiction because I can't suspend disbelief.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

:< Nice to see you, too. Yeah, I kind of started disappearing, too, when many others vanished.

You may or may not be happy to know you weren't forgotten. I was just wondering if you'd ever be back a couple days ago when I saw your avatar somewhere while looking through a list of users. Yeah, SAS has seen better days but some of us are still here.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

I tend to wear everything a bit baggy whether it's in or not because my weight is always in flux and I can't buy new clothes every time I lose or gain. I still have some jeans I was wearing in the 90s that finally fit again. They look horribly faded but whatever.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

So I was just now in the living room and my dad has been running the piss out of this space heater he has in there all morning and I noticed it strangely didn't feel any warmer in there than it did two hours ago and then I suddenly realized the AC was also running full blast. So he has probably been running them both full blast since 5 AM. WTF?

Now you have to understand that this condo is so small that you can't not hear the AC when it runs. It's loud enough that you pretty much have to turn up the TV so you can hear it over the fan. So there he is watching TV wearing a sweater with a big grin on his face

I just found this guy's Youtube channel the other day

I started watching (and liking) his videos for a couple hours and then just started looking at the comments and realized the guy died doing this. It's tragic but also, somehow you'd just expect that kind of an outcome for what he was doing. I'm always looking for oddball stuff on Youtube and surprised I never came across him before.

I don't suppose the man would want people to feel guilty for enjoying the videos he made before he met his unfortunate end. I reckon he'd have appreciated it. Odd. I don't know how to feel about it watching them.

I found a recipe for making 6 chocolate chip cookies. I don't need more than that since I have no one to share them with (cue violin). Anyway, the person who wrote the recipe must make giant cookies because I got 10 cookies out of it. :um

Put tomato sauce and pepperoni on them and have a cookie pizza.

I cannot find the unsweetened Silk soy milk anywhere. Like, how hard can it be? The store we usually get it at only has it for like 4 days out of every month. They get it in and it sells out fast and then they don't get anymore for ages. You can tell nobody wants the sweetened ones because they just sit there.

I wonder whether it's ethical to have only one cat and live alone, or if you have to have at least cats so that they can keep each other company.

Cats seem quite content to be lone pets, IMO. When I used to have a cat I usually found him sleeping when I got home. They're easily amused by just looking out a window or sleeping. They don't mind as long as you feed them and you actually are present sometimes. Dogs are MUCH more needy as pets.

Two mental health service employees asking "well why haven't you attempted suicide?" (implying its what I need to do to get any treatment now).

That's horrible. What a dickish thing to say to someone. It could actually come off like they cared if they said it another way but the way they said it sounds completely callous.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

God damn it. I hate it when I find mindless typos or missing words in my old posts. No one ever says anything.

You don't do that often. I do it frequently but I usually catch them because I know I don't read stuff before I post it and I usually go back and read my recent posts a couple of times to make sure.

What I really hate is when I type completely the wrong word without realizing it (and the sentence makes absolutely no cents) and see it like a week later and wonder how the hell I missed that.

 

[WillYouStopDave]

I got to work 3 minutes earlier from the very little running I did. Ugh, too many cars going by.

At least it isn't 15 below with 35 MPH wind. Or is it? :frown2:

 

[WillYouStopDave]

Lol No. I wouldn't walk in the wind. xD

I'm working 8 days in a row. Would be nice to get at least one day off. My schedule is very odd. I told them I wanted to work longer days with two days off then they work me 8 days in a row the week after I tell them that. I've never worked this many days in a row. Seems like telling them I want longer days with 2 days off was a bad idea.

That is how they do at those types of jobs. I tried for years to get a better schedule and they still worked me half to death and would then call me in on my days off because someone didn't show up.
