  1. It took me 2 hours to get to work today...normally a 30 minute commute, 40 tops.
  2. What the hell did they need CGI in a movie like that for? Did Godzilla make an appearance?
  3. Had my first one last year. Nothing about it was bad at all IMO. Not that I want to party with laxatives and gallons of gatorade, but it was not bad at all.
  4. This one hits a little for me. 2 brothers basically retired who I barely see anymore, also 2 special needs boys at home. My father just passed last month and the amount of argument over minute details about the funeral sucked the life out of me.
  5. Have you read all 19 books? I am on 5 right now on chapter 30 and think I got it figured out just based on his past books, but could be way off.
  6. I was 18 I think and paid by the minute on the contract. Had to unhook the battery, attach it to a charger that plugged directly into the wall. I thought I was sooo cool.
  7. Yeah feels like it happens much more than would be considered just a coincidence.
  8. Same, I very rarely use it to talk to someone....the only time I use it as a phone is when it is connected to my car and I use it that way with speaker phone, but never really just up to my ear.
  9. Yeah like I just grab my phone to check the time or something and the phone rings with a random number, so I am looking at the phone...my phone case is a fold over and always facing up...so the back camera always just sees my desk or whatever and the the front camera sees nothing because the case is covering the camera...I unfold the case to look at the screen and a call comes in at that moment. Not before...like a second after looking at the phone.
  10. The number of times I will pick up my phone during the day and immediately have some random number call me is pretty disturbing. Beyond coincidence IMO. I feel like all this kind of thing is basically just accepted as a part of modern living in the 2020's..."You did nothing wrong...what are you scared of?" I guarantee every single generation goes through a similar thing, but it is sad IMO.
  11. I am on the plan and mine have stayed the same for the most part even through the reassessing process.
  12. Enjoying the 4th book more than the last...has more of a whodunit type feel. Thanks again for the recommendation @Tiger337
  13. Really enjoy the writing and the weird dream type sequences in Goliath. Another one we just got back into...we started season 4, but then something came up and now are back at it, only a couple episodes left. I love how Billys character just negotiates billion dollar deals in seconds with pretty much no prep work. This last season is a nice reminder of how things are in RL, but people just prefer not to accept it.
  14. Not a big sports betting guy...too many variables IMO. I have placed a random wager here and there over the last couple years, but nothing more than a few bucks. I will sometimes pull a one armed bandit, but for the most part my bag is poker...it is more about the opponent with some skill laid in. I am not great at it...some may even call me bad because sometimes I drink too much when I play which is a downward spiral, but I still enjoy the heck out of it for the most part. Heading to Vegas for a work conference in a few months and plan to spend a good amount of time in Bellagios poker room and maybe even a couple random ones. It is not as enjoyable for me now as it was 20 years ago, but still a fun thing to do.
  15. Wife just got her first guvment job doing physicals for new recruits, talked to a bunch of the people there...they all love it...super cush/easy job. Lots of them came out of retirement to do it because it is so easy and the pay is great. Just a once a week type job for her now, but she may expand that depending.
