Could not wait till my lunch break it's too far away and I'm getting hungry. Ordered a butter chicken poutine, never tried it, it's a limited time thing. Looking forward to trying this. :D

Think I'm gonna go check out a property after tomorrow. Kinda looking forward to it, even though I'm not really THAT serious about buying anything yet, especially not at that price. (50k) but I could try putting an offer for 40k. I think the bank will actually give me the money. Google street view shows a for sale sign, so seems to me it's been there for a while unless it sold after that and now it's for sale again. They might just go for my offer if they've been trying to sell for long. Or they're not in a hurry and are firm on the price.

Lake front, highway access, unorganized township. I don't know if I can do better than that. 2 hours from here though... But I'll get a feel for it from the drive. It's all highway with only small towns to go through, so it's a fast 2 hours.

Working on physically backing up my pics/vids from my cell phone to a drive on my computer. I need to delete on device data. Android says the device is full (128GB of storage). Don't want to remove the data from Google Photos.

Well, that was a success. Tried to get Plex Media Player to start with Windows in the living room HTPC. There is nothing in the settings to select that. I believe that Plex Server has that option. I also believe I need to use Plex Sever to allow the Yatse app to control Plex via my phone. @sdifox do you have any experience with that?

Player? Thought it was deprecated already. You just use the browser and connect to plex. I run plex server in a vm but I don't run it as a service. So I log into the vm whenever I restart it.

Need to stay clear of the Lightning Deals on Amazon.
Buying duplicates of what I already have - hey redundancy is good, eh?
Fair price though

7 grand of take out? lol that's nuts. Though I'd be scared to tally how much I spend myself on that... probably at least a couple hundred per month. Need to really reduce that.
You are feeding one. I am feeding five. And it's not 7k of take out. 2.1 is on the van, another 400 for the QX50

Had the most messed up dream. Dreamed I had a friend over at my house, I still lived at my parents in the dream. We were playing video games, like Nintendo or something but it was in the computer room.

My friend had to go to the bathroom so he went. I went later on after him and saw that he had completely destroyed the toilet. I was shaking my head thinking "gross, at least clean it up that's disrespectful". So I started cleaning it with wet tissues and stuff and found some of my mom's cleaners and just went at it. But the more I tried to clean it, the worst it got. Next thing you know I was dealing with a toilet that's flooding and there was poop just backing up everywhere all over the floor.

I was happy to wake up from that so I didn't have to clean that shit up. :p

That still seems crazy to me. My sister and her husband have 3 kids, two are teenagers. They don't even MAKE close to that amount of money let alone spend it only on food. I guess they don't eat takeout as much either.

do they live in GTA? My GO train fair for the month assuming 40 rides is 282 dollars. wife is probably around that as well.
