You'll change your mind real fast. I've yet to use a smart blu-ray player that had a pleasant interface. Very slow and clunky. I haven't used mine for a long time. Roku is much better.

I've been reading reviews & have pretty much come to the same conclusion based on all the net connectivity problems people seem to be having - even with major brand names. I'm thinking now that I'll just look for a dumb machine, it works out better anyway since I don't want to spend very much.

Do you know how hard it is to find gluten-free bacon?

 

[psionandy]

Isn't it in the grocery section next to the lactose free chicken?

 

[Dngrsone]

Of course! Here I was, looking over at the hormone-free, non-GMO salt...

Eat regular food. It might kill you but you are going to die anyway. There are much worse ways to die. And of course everything causes cancer.

Just had a huge Red Tailed hawk glide to the tree in my yard. He had something in his talons, I thought it was a Junco or Tufted Titmouse at first but then realized it was a mouse. Watched him gulp it down, he hung out for a bit then glided back off. They are just so gorgeous and nature is so cool.

I had one go for a pigeon near my feet. I must have scared the hawk because he maimed the pigeon but left it there. I had to kill it. Sometimes nature sucks.

I've got a picture like that of my Meez in Caturday. My kid captioned it:

Pizza with a side order of Meez butt.

We haven't had any Red Tailed hawks although they are all over town. We had a pair of Kestrels when the swing set was up, and I've had Cooper's hawks sitting on the feeder.

I had a Cooper's chasing a Chickadee on foot! He couldn't fly into the bush to get the Chickadee, so it looked like he was trying another method. They are NOT geared for walking.

That must have been a sight! I have Cooper's and Sharp-shinned that regularly 'visit' the feeders as well. Someone, I'm guessing a Sharpie, got a Tufted Titmouse last week. I can tell because the carnage is still on the porch roof. No miss there. I do feel bad for the little birds but certainly understand that I'm feeding ALL the birds.

I need more pens.

 

[PattiCakeUS]

I have that deja vu feeling, like I posted this long ago here...

 

[Dngrsone]

I need more peas.

FTFY...

...well, I fixed it once, realized it probably wasn't the most appropriate vowel, and changed it again.

I really missed using MIUI. It's seriously awesome! This Mi-4c is very nice.

Pens! Seriously, I don't have any good places to keep pens, I think I have maybe 2 at home... somewhere. I don't need to use them often, but when I need one I can't seem to ever find one.

 

[Dngrsone]

I have a bag I carry my laptop all over hell and creation with, and I have a few stashed in there. I also have one clipped in the inside pocket of my leather jacket.

... and of course a fancy pen and pencil in my work shirt... a spare pen or two in my toolbox... maybe one in that other toolbox...

I could mail you a couple.

 

[bjacks12]

I once managed to keep a pen I liked for 6 months. I was quite proud of myself.

 

[Dngrsone]

It took me a few decades, but I've finally gotten to the point where I get to refill my pens... and even replace them because I wore them out.
