I got free shoes from Amazon. I ordered them, they were delivered... but a "glitch in the system" reflects that they haven't even been shipped! So I have to wait for the shoes to be delivered, so I can return them for a refund - but that leaves me with a pair of shoes for which I didn't pay. In...

They multiply and they vote, too :oops:

Time to prime & paint our concrete porch... hopefully people will get the hint from the sign that I really don't want them walking on it...

A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his. Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted...

I have no idea what happened at that company, but it was BAD. I feel awful for the families... and we need to be ready for eternity because we never know what moment in this life will be our last.

I was wondering about those lights with all the globes... I call them "dust-catchers". The fewer horizontal surfaces, the better!

BTW after thoroughly cleaning them, I played some of the old 78 RPM records I've acquired... some dating back over 100 years. It's almost haunting to listen to singers, and musicians, who likely died before I was born: it's a glimpse into the past and an era long gone.

I guess with over a billion people in the country, you have to be creative with naming your babies... but if I were the seller, I think I'd have to smack my parents around for giving me a name that wears out the keyboard just typing it...

The best thing we did was host our own data with a Synology NAS. Plus we have an external backup drive with two 8TB drives mirrored to each other for redundancy.

October 10th at 11 AM - the release of the U.S. Mint's 2025 Silver Eagle with laser-engraved Navy privy mark in observance of the Navy's 250th birthday. I was surprised to find myself in a virtual waiting room due to high traffic! I was going to buy two of them, but was limited to one. Purchase...

I'm in the middle of replacing two ceiling fans, both over 20 years old (original house installs), with new ones that (hopefully) won't squeal on the low fan setting. Some people can't hear that persistent high-pitch tone: as a career electronics guy, it drives me crazy! Anyway, I'm in the...

All I know is that whoever is in charge of the predictive text for Gboard is a total perv. I will be writing the most innocent message, but the predicted next word will often make it read like a p0rn novel! I really don't write crap like that, G00gle!

VFW District meeting this evening. I downed an energy shot to stay awake for it: but it ended pretty quickly, so I had a couple of glasses of Merlot to ease back down before bedtime. No wonder my blood pressure doesn't know what to do some days! :p

I don't care if you are an individual; a family; a business or a transnational corporate conglomerate: BACK UP YOUR DATA! At least weekly! Have a backup AND have a current copy of the backup for redundancy! I double-doggy promise you: you will never, ever regret having too many backups as much...

Bifocals? You young pup... I have progressive trifocals! I'd probably get friggin' quadfocals if the lenses were big enough... :p
