Used to be able to get jeans from 2 different stores that actually fit.
Somehow they both stopped selling jeans around the same time.

At least a year I've been trying to find any jeans that will fit.

Today I'm walking one of those stores and see they are selling jeans again.
Bought one but I have not tried them on yet, I guess I should do that.

This isn't a matter of being fat, I'm a Sasquatch and I also have serious issues with shoes.

I think it would be difficult to get fat by eating from a dumpster.
 
First day of work at new job has gone well.

And oh lawd... their wifi actually works! It's amazing. I was thinking of just giving my previous place the $20 router I've been using since college (15 years) since it seems to work fine for me at my apartment. God that was just useless there.

We just had a new employee start. I wonder if you're him... 😱
 
Found the complete series of Magnum PI on blu-ray from Amazon UK.
(thank god for AnyDVD HD,and also region free hardware blu-ray players.)

The price was £108 shipped.

(Versus 236.32 shipped from Amazon US ..direct from Amazon.com).

Sure,it'll take longer to arrive than if I'd bought it from Amazon.com...but getting the complete series on blu-ray for $90 less than Amazon US?
I'd call that a win.

Uh, it's £ .

Getting snow squalls right now, but I'm off tomorrow (just normal scheduling), so I don't have to deal with digging out the car in the morning to make it to work. Yay! They don't shut stuff down here over snow, but it's still inconvenient to deal with when you have to be to work. 😛
 
It's a good thing they'll be removing all ports from the next iPhone...

I know and I’m not excited about it but there likely will be some sort of magnetic port.
Still torn on Apple vs Android.
Apple at least doesn’t share data in such a creepy way as android devices do, however the Apple tax is pretty insulting.
 
Set up my first real mineral show display.

The show opens tomorrow. On Friday, 3,000 school kids will visit the show. Every last one of them will pass through my booth. @BoomerD will a level A suit be sufficient?

Your info card looks really good there. Is it anything special, or just a "reverse" print?
