Envious yes! Having a beer by the water on a nice day sounds perfect to me.
Hateful, no.  I'm glad you're enjoying your time-off.

One day I'd like to revisit Texas, I've only been to Austin which I know is not really like regular Texas, but I had a blast there.

Nah... Austin is just like the rest of Texas, albeit a bit weirder...

Have to agree with Neph there.  Someone usually tries to sell me drugs, clones my credit card, or attempts the white van speaker scam every time I visit.  Other than that, mostly the same.

38 here and I didn't even read the rest of the meme.  I wish I knew you were from WV Howard.  I just spent a full year there in '15 for work and was bored out of my mind daily looking for something to do.  Oh well.

I wouldn't have been much fun then anyway.  I was at the height of my medical issues that year.  Not fun at all.

I talked about them several times man.  Thyroid and kidney problems coupled with migraines.  I'm fairly ok now in that regard.

Eh everybody our age seems to have problems so I try to keep that into perspective.  At one time I was seeing 4 specialists and now I'm down to one for the migraines, so I call that a win. 


Our friend eds1275 is having a real bad time.  :(

My dad swears by pomegranate juice as causing a huge reduction in the frequency and severity of migraines.  I knew some scientists studying it 10 years ago and turned him on to it.

You can buy the concentrate and dump a tablespoon in iced tea once a day and it's actually quite good.   Might be worth a shot for $15.

Yeah! It's the antioxidants, pomegranates are loaded with 'em. It's another one of those power-foods (like Honey, Avocados, Ginger, Turmeric).

Not only are antioxidants good for your skin, and can reduce the risk of cancer, but studies have shown that it helps reduce the severity and frequency of migraines for those who are susceptible to them.

Definitely try upping your antioxidant intake for a month or two. It's one of those home remedies from the holistic folks. I personally try to get my antioxidant intake from red wine as much as I can...   ;)

Memories of my grandmother making buttermilk crepes makes me super chuffed.  She was an awesome baker and made mouth watering fried chicken in an electric skillet.

Grandmas and those electric skillets are no joke.  Probably a big contributor to my obesity.

You ought to try frying your own chicken.  I bust out the oil whenever my wife leaves town and I've gotten pretty good at it.

Cooking and I don't get along.  I'm horrible.  That is why I married my wife.  I'm good at baking.  We make a good team.  I bake and she cooks.

Funny story.  My father in law told my mother in law that my wifes fried chicken was way better than hers one night.  Needless to say the rest of the night was quite awkward.

Had a horrible day.  Took a few minutes for myself to check out a new thrift store that opened up.  Got two NIB ps2 gamepads for 5 bucks  pop.  The lady that works there says they get stuff in daily, so I can look forward to buying more stuff I don't need.  :)

Pi Zero Ws are $5 at Microcenter again. I was there buying paper and did the "I've never met this strange woman before in my life" routine and left with two. Plan is to upgrade one of my Pi Carts, and stick the non wifi one inside a cabinet.

I just leave one of those carts on 24/7 and keep a  wireless controller on my nightstand. It's totally tits.

So, I read that you can put your fitbit on your ankle while at the grocery store. I don't recommend doing it while wearing shorts. But it does keep parents  and their kids far, far away.

Chuffed! because I've been invited to check out a private collector’s pinball and pop culture collection.  If he lets me, I'll take some pics.  I have no contacts for pinball machines here in Aussie land but this guy has many.  Maybe I can get myself some old broken down thing and fix it up.  Surely that wouldn’t be that expensive a project?

Owning just one pinball machine would be a whole new world for me.  But I'm wary of buying shiny things that just end up on ebay. I'll have you guys to advise me when I'm ready to part with the cash.

Pinball is so damn pricey, especially great pinball. I am slowly saving for my second Pinball machine because one is not enough.

Don't confuse great pinball with popular pinball. TAF ain't that great.

Thanks! I just updated my thread on the monitor's color problem. Half of the color range is stuck full-on. As is frequently the case, half-working is proving harder to diagnose than not-working-at-all.
