Read 4th book, it's a cash in on the name to pay the bills POS. First 3 are really good, that last one is just bad. Hmm I just replied and talked shit about my own thread...may be time for therapy LOL

We were watching something and I told my wife it reminded me of 12 angry men. She had no idea (grew up in england so I guess it wasn't required reading) so we watched it. New for both of us as I'd only seen the b&w movie and didn't realize it was remade in color. Still a great movie and well...

watched 1/2 of ep1 last night. Decent so far. Origin of (assumed) main char was as fucked up as any 'Boys' story.

Looks like this is out now. Just saw ad for it during the NFL game.

Had no idea what star wars was when we went to see it. Only knew every time we went by that movie theater there was a line outside that wrapped around the building. Figured if it was that popular it had to be good.

I remember watching a cartoon on PBS and a deer mom got killed that fucked me up as a kid , I was 5 or so. Bawled my eyes out asking why etc. Looking back I'm sure my mom/dad wanted to shoot me as if they needed that shit in their day. 2 movies scared me period, the original 'alien' watched it...

Correct, if you still have Netflix check 'toys that made us' or something like that. It has a bit about the Lucas / Mattel toy line that wasn't anywhere near ready for the success of the movie and having to release 'IOU' boxes that christmas. None of us knew what to expect. Lucas did make some...

Age 7, 1977 OG movie - dumb ass kid no idea why but there was always a line around the theater for this film. Dad took us like 3-4 different days trying to get in before the theater sold out (only 2 screens in the whole place and they both showed same movie) Instantly hooked , begged / nagged /...

that's what I ended up telling the person that billed me. If this needs to get to collections where I can deal with a professional that's fine but I'm not paying for anything that doesn't make sense. That same person wound up calling me an hour later and admitting that it was never sent to...

It will be my 3rd playthough. 1st I did at release , 2nd a bit later but before the blowout rtx release. Use mods/cheats to 'see' everything as I already knew the story. This time I'll play clean and hope my 3080ti doesn't melt.

Asshole Chemo Oncologist has routine visit scheduled for this past Monday. I have radiation set at same time (keep in mind this is the SAME COMPANY in 2 different Las Vegas locations). The radiation people tell me to just show up early and they will shift around to work me in. Done. They moved...

ok I'll get this next. I am in act 3 of BG3. 139 hours in, I see the gate that says 'Baldurs Gate' but haven't gone to it yet. Still trying to find Minsc. Enjoying the hell out of this game but real life health stuff makes me too tired to play.

worth the full price or wait for it to go on sale? I still have to finish BG3 , then there is Starfield / Armored Core 6 as well.

Never heard of the author but I'm always up for a good read! Thanks for the share.

yeah i gave up mid book 2

btw I don't recall that being a particularly BAD movie , but I did have a hard time accepting Wallace from the wire as bad ass John Clark.

Assuming you are in a country and can find them (or the high seas!) , this really and it's a murder mystery series set in a retirement home. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/richard-osman-the-thursday-murder-club.14660/

Been a few years but mine was 'sum of all fears'. I'm going to reread it after I finish the new Elon book (ok so far). This is the book version, with jihadis not the butchered to fuck movie with nazis. That's really all I remember. I also recall thinking Rainbow 6 book was a fantastic way to...

To be clear, I meant if it was a viable option, try the shots. They suck , a needle is stuck in your spine and it feels worse than it sounds but it's not as bad (and as non-reversible) as surgery. Also I've had them and it didn't help at all and/or made it worse. If I had it to do all over...

BTW most of what you described is true of everyone you see that's over 25 to some degree or another. In my case, the central canal was too narrow genetically (thanks Obama dad!) so it was a matter of time. There are OTC and script medications that can help , life style changes, yoga, etc. I...

Stomach started giving me problems last Thursday , spent Friday in constant agony , could not move without going into painful cramps. Saturday I was going to suffer through it some more to see if things would get better and remembered this post and went to the ER. Long story short I spent 3 days...

Don't know how it works in Houston but my brother has been an electrician since I hired him green in 1996. Never missed a day of work due to layoffs. I did fire his ass a few times until he learned we were not relatives at work but that was for less than a day each time. I list him instead of me...

Yeah the resistant to roundup thing is why I use a company that has a year no-grow back warranty. It becomes their problem. Also my wife said today she saw something green in the yard this morning and was calling them if it gets worse. I do so love that woman.

oh yeah it's pure kindling

that's sort of a generic term for the type of plants not a specific plant. At least according to wikipedia. I just know they are a PITA. I have 3-4 on my fence line now. I had the yard sprayed to kill vegetation so I don't have to worry about them taking root.

@lurkingdirk so imagine before they all died and blew on top of each other, those were a lush green but thorny. I do not know what they are called but that is exactly the bush I was trying (poorly) to describe.

My 1st full year here I had zero experience and everything was 2 years dead anyway so I did nothing yard wise. We were also trying to get the house renovated as I bought this place from Freddie Mack as-is. Anyhow we started getting all these weird bugs outside and I found out they thrived in...

how to say you don't have experience with tumbleweeds without saying it. Now I'm going to have to find a lot and take pictures.....

My next door neighbor just had theirs removed or I would take a pic. I don't know what it's called but it's a bush that gets GIGANTIC and thick with needles like rose bushes, and live 2-3 years then die and become tumbleweeds. Also in the spring we typically get some rain and everything...

no biggie. Whomever I originally replied to said AZ. Ironically the place had lush grass in the back, a whole garden , bushes, multiple bushes, and a lot of trees. Then it sat empty for 2 years and everything died. I spent as much getting that dead shit out and I did putting the stone in.

No maintenance and my worsening back. I had 2 lawnmowers and 2 weed wackers when we left the south and moved to NV. I gave them all away to our moving guys as I was done with fucking with a yard. Also here in the middle of the mojave desert, it's harder to GROW that leave native. I only spray to...

no HOA no subdivision, I am on an acre and a half of decorative stone. Once a year I pay a company to spray weed killer on the entire property with a year bond if anything grows back and it's worth every cent.

I read 'the stand' while I had a mild flu case and it fucked with me. We didn't know any better at the time but my mother had a 1st edition of that book. Of course it's gone now but still 'it' scared the ever living fuck out of me to the point where I was scared to open doors afraid of a red...

Finished 'Holly' last night. Reading it through I thought it was a rehash but it's King and they all roll together & it's at least easy reading. Then at the end King has author notes basically stating that it's a rehash of a story 'if it bleeds' redone to reflect COVID. There are pages and...

Well another D+ show that makes zero sense , guess it's hate watch time again. Wasn't this episode supposed to be so 'important' that they wanted to show it on big screens? So wtf did I just watch? Me and the wife discussed if we want to renew D+ and both were a firm no.

I have one of their wireless keyboards. Solid build, aluminum slab full keyboard. Like it but charging was PITA. Sometimes it would say it was fully charged then drop to 60% the instant you unplugged it, or if you swapped cables enough it would stay charged for an hour and drop. Got tired of...

Way better game than I thought it would be. Hell of a lot better game than last night's stinkfest

yeah now that you mention it , sure did. Perhaps that is it.

And I've lived in multiple 2 story house/apartments/condos in the US South (Humidity is not your friend) that only had 1 AC unit. In fact, I've never had 2 units that one of them wasn't sticking out a window

I recommend you don't , it's pretty sad and dysfunctional/blamey. I'll probably take another run at it one day. It just didn't 'click' for whatever reason. Hell it took me 3-4 tries to get into Breaking Bad , so that should give you some idea of how stupid I am! LOL
