While doing my ablutions this morning, I was thinking if I had to pick a Shakespeare's play to describe my hair, it'd be the Taming of the Shrew.

Re: Random Thoughts
My wife wanted a head rub this morning so I put the watch I was wearing with a bracelet on my right arm. Turns out my right wrist is larger than my left. Strange. I'm left handed too.
Re: Random Thoughts
I can say with certainty that I've never seen a completed wrist roll on Instagram. Plan to keep it that way.

Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Re: Random Thoughts
Back up often. Not random, really -- one of my drives is crashing on me. Happily I do have a pretty recent backup. One of my college math professors, when a student pleaded that she had lost her homework due to a crashed disk, suggested that Back Up Often should be the fundamental theorem of computer science. I still think that makes a pretty good math joke on CS ppl.
Re: Random Thoughts
That's been on my mind.... I am going to start backing up stuff on Box (or something similar). Thanks!!BostonCharlie wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 7:28 pm Back up often.

Re: Random Thoughts
Any thoughts on sports gambling?
I've never participated, past a few dollars at work. But I feel as if these sites are targeting younger people on emotions and they're going up against... well professionals.
At least the lottery is fair even if your odds are abysmal.
Anyhow, everything is bigger in Texas.

How does MoT and others continue to live in such a dangerous place. Lol, I had a Plymouth address back in 2008.... No street fights for me though

Why are Frederique Constant's women's watches nicer than the men's?

Re: Random Thoughts
Re FC, I suspect that one factor is that women's taste in watches is (perhaps) completely different than men's. I will now assume you are a man. I offer that these are discounted specifically because their designs appeal to you yet were marketed to women. If you spend much of your time looking at discounted watches in search of deals -- as I do -- you will find yourself in the midst of these misfits. QED

I always seem to be in the midst of misfits!
