Just brought some DVD's and a new shiny 3D Blue ray player and few other things. Hope you get your slice Neal. :up:

Thanks!!

Just ordered Peter Padfield: Maritime Power and Struggle For Freedom: Naval Campaigns that Shaped the Modern World 1788-1851 and
Maritime Dominion: Naval Campaigns that Shaped the Modern World, which covers 1852 to the present day. Total cost with shipping was about $20.

I also pre-ordered the reissued volume of R.A. Burt's British Battleships of World War One. It's not due for release until September 15, so I wouldn't expect it to show up until after that date.

I see the Burt, but not the Padfield. Thanks, Steve! :salute:

Well, I continue to party like there's no tomorrow by ordering a new Oxo Good Grips Dish Scrub AND a pack of scrubber refills. :woot:

Haha, yes, I saw that, I thought "well, now I've seen everything!!" :cool:

Just ordered:

1 box #10 security envelopes
1 pk 5x8 ruled sticky notes
4 white Cuddl Duds leggings
1 black Cuddl Duds leggings
4 white Hanes thermal crew tops
--(WINTER IS COMING!!)-- :O:
1 each HP 60XL black and tricolor ink cartidges
Yes, yes, yes!:/\\k:

Nope, I just like to have the next round of cartridges on hand and ready to go.

Just ordered: Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2 GB DDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100312-3L

My handy dandy measuring tape tells me it will fit, altho it may take a degree in Advanced Cable Management to make it happen. :P

Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 :up::up::up: Thanks, that was a major purchase.

Did it fit into your computer?

British Battleships: Warrior, 1860 to Vanguard, 1950. A History of Design, Construction and Armament, by Oscar Parkes. A very used copy, for $120. Better copies start at about twice that and new copies run upwards of a thousand dollars. I got the cheapest one I could. They say it's in good shape. We'll see. I only hope it has the kind of detail I need.

Total order $94.change (or thereabouts - don't have it open in front of me).

This should be the first of several orders over the next couple months, and it's a great way to support the cause. No way I can keep up with some of the senior officers around here, though...

A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's . . . Dodger.

Target verified, thank you!

The original. Only 6" x 6". I thought it would be too small two years ago, so I bought the big "family size" one. It doesn't have removable plates and it's too big to fit in the kitchen sink. This small one should be perfect for me.

Lol - what I get is brand new, sealed in the manufacturer's package - basically the exact same thing I would be getting if I went to a local retailer to buy it. Except I don't have to go to the store and search through racks and racks of different stuff to find the package with the right size, style, and color.

C'mon - it's sold by Amazon, fulfilled by Amazon, and shipped by Amazon. It's not like I'm buying it from Creepy Bob's Online Underwear Emporium.

TBH I'm far more creeped out at the idea of buying something like that from, say, Walmart, where what you buy might have been on public display in a freaking WALMART for weeks or months where anybody and everybody who walked by could pick it up, poke their fingers through the plastic, etc.

I just was on amazon reading User Reviews of Underwear.

You won't believe these people.... Go and see for yourself. :rotfl2:

Amazon is kinda known for having some hilarious reviews for certain products. But if you don't know where to look, you never find them.

Some of the more infamous ones:

Uranium Ore (http://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Inc-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM/ref=cm_lmf_tit_1)

"I purchased this product 4.47 Billion Years ago and when I opened it today, it was half empty."

"The quality of this Uranium is on par with the stuff I was bying from the Libyans over at the mall parking lot, but at half the price! I just hope the seller does not run out, because I have many projects on my list including a night vision sasquatch radar, an electromagnetic chupakabra cage, a high velocity, aerial, weighted Mothman net and super heated, instant grill cheese sandwhich maker."

Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz (http://www.amazon.com/Tuscan-Whole-Milk-Gallon-128/dp/B00032G1S0/ref=cm_lmf_tit_2)

"He always brought home milk on Friday.

"After a long hard week full of days he would burst through the door, his fatigue hidden behind a smile. There was an icy jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz in his right hand. With his left hand he would grip my waist - I was always cooking dinner - and press the cold frostiness of the jug against my arm as he kissed my cheek. I would jump, mostly to gratify him after a time, and smile lovingly at him. He was a good man, a wonderful husband who always brought the milk on Friday, Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz.

"Then there was that Friday, the terrible Friday that would ruin every Friday for the rest of my life. The door opened, but there was no bouyant greeting - no cold jug against the back of my arm. There was no Tuscan Whole Milk in his right hand, nor his left. There came no kiss. I watched as he sat down in a kitchen chair to remove his shoes. He wore no fatigue, but also no smile. I didn't speak, but turned back to the beans I had been stirring. I stirred until most of their little shrivelled skins floated to the surface of the cloudy water. Something was wrong, but it was vague wrongness that no amount of hard thought could give shape to.

"Over dinner that night I casually inserted, 'What happened to the milk?'

"'Oh,' he smiled sheepishly, glancing aside, 'I guess I forgot today.'

"That was when I knew. He was tired of this life with me, tired of bringing home the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz. He was probably shoveling funds into a secret bank account, looking at apartments in town, casting furtive glances at cashiers and secretaries and waitresses. That's when I knew it was over. Some time later he moved in with a cashier from the Food Mart down the street. And me? Well, I've gone soy."

How To Avoid Huge Ships (http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Huge-Ships-John-Trimmer/dp/0870334336/ref=cm_lmf_tit_16)

"I bought How to Avoid Huge Ships as a companion to Captain Trimmer's other excellent titles: How to Avoid a Train, and How to Avoid the Empire State Building. These books are fast paced, well written and the hard won knowledge found in them is as inspirational as it is informational. After reading them I haven't been hit by anything bigger than a diesel bus. Thanks captain!"

And let us not forget...

The Mountain Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee (http://www.amazon.com/The-Mountain-Three-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A/ref=cm_lmf_tit_3)

"This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.

"I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.

"Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark."

Tossing and turning also impact the life time so you may need to adjust for that.

02-13-13, 06:47 PM

Well, here's what happened.

I sleep with an eye mask because it's the only way I can get to sleep and stay asleep all night. (Also earplugs, not that THEY do much good in the current environment. :stare:)

Over the past couple of years I've been trying out different masks trying to find one that did the job, was comfortable, and didn't start to wear out after a couple months.

I bought one a while back and have been using it for a while. It seemed to be meeting all the criteria. Then I woke up one morning this week and found dark stains all over my pillowcases, which had bled all the way through those and through the pillow protectors right down to the pillows themselves. It took some headscratching but I finally realized that they were coming from the mask somehow. Went back to Amazon, where I bought it, and saw that someone else had reported the exact same problem.

End result, I'm going back to the Bucky eye mask, since I'd rather buy a new eyemask 3-4 times a year than new bedding every week. :O:

Well, I needed new pillows anyway, and I'm pretty sure that most of what I have on the bed now is ruined due to the mask, so I decided to bite the bullet and replace everything as soon as the new mask arrives.

Madox58

02-13-13, 06:57 PM

I'm an ear-plug man myself. Total silence puts me in a deep sleep.
(and I hate to hear myself whimper when I'm sleeping)
I dropped the mask after the last divorce.
:haha:

and I'm pretty sure that most of what I have on the bed now is ruined due to the mask

I'm still in the "looking" stage. That kind of fell off over the winter, as it got too dark too early to drive around after work and look at anything, plus with the holidays and everything - bah. I am pre-approved for a loan (or pre-pre-approved, whatever) so I have the piece of paper from the bank to prove to people that I am indeed a Serious Potential Buyer.

And as it happens one of my former co-workers is coming back to work for us part-time, and during her time away from our practice she became a licensed real estate agent and did that from home while raising her kids. I just need to get with her and see what she needs once I get a list together of places I want to look at.

I've been using the same backpack for years. I got it for free at a VA meeting. It's very basic but it's almost square and it's perfect for runs to the grocery store, since I still don't have a car. It will hold four boxed pizzas, or one pizza and extra stuff, or a gallon of milk and a 2-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper. It will hold three boxes of cereal. It will also hold a very large reference book when I want to take the newest one to game night to show to my friends.

It developed a tear last year, and I still kept usng it until it finally got so bad stuff was in danger of falling out. I looked everywhere, and everybody wanted $30-45 for a decent pack. Finally I was at a Wal*Mart a couple of weeks ago and found one for $15. It's big enough to hold a pizza box but it has little compartments and can't hold nearly as much stuff as the old one.

I got so frustrated I finally went on Amazon, and found the very same one I'd had for all those years, for the price in the link. I jumped to Subsim and back to Amazon. Some things are just perfect for the job. Now I need to get a car. :sunny:

Oh gods I certainly hope so. It's gonna be a real PITA if I don't as I've already got about as much packed as I can manage until I've actually got some place else to move it to, there's no room left to stack any more boxes.

Last round of documents from the bank set the closing date for next Thursday but I have not heard anything since providing the last bit of additional info they requested and that was two weeks ago. About 10 days ago I mailed back some hard copies of stuff they sent me, which were duplicates of stuff I'd already gotten via email and signed and faxed about a week prior to that.

I'm assuming that since they aren't contacting me constantly asking me to verify, explain, or update anything that things are proceeding smoothly. At least I will have plenty of time to get moved once I have the place, right now it's just a lot of hurry up and wait.

Moving's one thing, but who on earth needs eight fruit bowls?

They double as dessert bowls and match the 8 place settings I'm getting at 50% off from Macy's on account of I stumbled onto a sale I didn't know they were having until it was almost over so instead of waiting to buy new dishes I went ahead and ordered them while they were on sale. But Amazon still had better prices on the fruit bowls.

I know Fiesta ware is pretty durable but this isn't my nearly unbreakable 20 yr old Corelle ware, knowing how I am in the kitchen with any luck I'll still have 4 complete settings after a year or so. :O:

I can get the 4 pack of color but, the different colors do not run out at the same time. Right now I have 3 small black cartridges, 1 small blue one, and a large black one as spares. I do quite a bit of photo printing for family members, and that eats the ink up in a hurry.:yep:

Used to have that problem but now have an HP printer that only requires the cartridge that is exhausted to be replaced and reading your post again I suspect that is indeed what you have so after a few individual cartridge changes I'd suggest you buy singularly...should still achieve a saving in the long run.

A Canon eh?

Don't recall what model the 'ink guzzling' Canon was at work but I replaced it recently with an Epson model (can't remember the exact one) and already it is outperforming its predecessor in the ink stakes.

Mind you, Lexmark is even more outrageous...cheaper to buy a new printer than replace the inks :)

Sailor Steve

05-01-13, 05:28 PM

Mine is an HP 2050. It was cheap enough that it would be cheaper to buy a new one than replace the ink, if not for those cheap refilled ones. Every time I install one the printer asks if I'm aware I'm using an unofficial replacement cartridge. So far I haven't had a problem with any of them.

I've gone through three black cartridges so far this year, but I have yet to replace the color cartidge. There is only one color cartridge, which is one of the reasons I stick with HP despite their annoying attempts to get me to spend twice as much to be 'official'. :O:

HW3

05-01-13, 05:59 PM

On mine the red runs out first, followed by the yellow, then the blue, the large black tank, then the small black tank, which hardly ever runs out. I usually go through 2 or 3 reds per 1 small black one. That is why I have so many of those as spares, they come with the 4 color pack.

We definitely live in two different worlds. My "goblets for company" set consists of four glasses I bought at the local Dollar store. My personal all-round drinking glass is a 16-oz Santa mug my kids got me for Christmas 25 years ago.

Oh, I'm not gonna get rid of all the novelty glasses. My favorite juice glass is one from a series of Apollo space program commemorative glasses that was given away as a promotion years ago, probably by some gas station back when they still used to do those things. Apparently there was one glass for each mission. I found a bunch of them in an antiques mall and bought them. Not a whole set, I had duplicates of several of them, but I used them a lot just for myself. Oddly enough the only ones that have survived intact are a couple of the Apollo 13 ones. :haha:

So I'll still drink out of the goofy glasses when I'm by myself and just want a drink by the computer or near where I'm working on something. I just won't have to pass them out to guests.

Altho I've always thought it would be fun just to buy goofy mismatched novelty tableware and set the table with it for guests... but knowing me, finding the "perfect" goofy set of mismatched but still meaningful stuff would take longer than just buying a nice matching set that I really like. :O:

Edit: the last time I went to an antiques mall with my sister, someone had all these glasses for sale (probably another promotion from some gas station or restaurant) with Looney Tunes characters on them. If I could've found one each in the same size with, say, eight of my favorite characters, I totally would've bought them. But I couldn't put together a whole set in any size from what they had for sale. I was totally bummed.

So that's what it's called! When you showed the picture in your 'Home' thread I started trying to look up synonyms for "Drill chuck-to-bit converter attachment thingy". The only "Mandrel" I knew was a monster from an old Doctor Who episode.

See, now I know we live in two different worlds. When I hear "mandrel" in my head, all it does is remind me of Barbara and her sisters. :haha:

I got a B in Art Class. At church camp last year, I was known as the kid who got a B in Art by the Crafts Direcotor. I'm not an art person. I was the kid in preschool who didn't decorate his valentine's day box. (Frankly, Valentine's Day has been nothing but disappointment) I can be creative...but that's about it. I can't do much decorative or arts/crafts type of stuff. When I'm settled in on something that I can concentrate on, I get it done.

I've been told that I "walk with a purpose..." Not sure if compliment or not though. :hmmm:

I get right to the point (That's been biting me in the butt lately) and I don't like to waste tim- Actually, I waste time sometimes. :arrgh!: But, I don't see the purpose of pillows for show or chairs that aren't meant to be sat in.

I've never understood why some men are so opinionated where women are concerned, especially "men" who haven't had time to experience the world, and most of their opinions they got from someone else.

It's a funny thing. I have a couple of huge "coffee-table" books with giant pictures from outer space. I don't have a coffee table to put them on, and I doubt I would if I did have one. I build model airplanes for the love of building them. The ones that aren't in a gaming box are sold or given away. I really don't have anything decorative displayed anywhere. I have a couple of diecast cars that stay in their boxes in a drawer, mainly to save me from the temptation to take them apart and refinish them "properly". I don't even have my guitars on display. The ones that I don't play every day are in their cases in my bedroom.

That's not defending men, because many of us do have our decorative side. It's just my observation on my own sorry self.

Given some men's preferences regarding the opposite sex, I suspect that if we removed from the world everything that was merely "decorative" and served no other useful purpose they would soon find themselves regretting their insistence on strict utilitarianism. :O:

That was the one downside of that desk - no holes for wire mgmt. But all the ones that had them, I didn't like at all and they wouldn't have suited my preferred setup nearly as well. This one does save me having to buy or construct something to sit the computer on and gives me sufficient space on that lower shelf for everything else that needs to go somewhere out of the way but still be easily accessible.

Fortunately the hole saw is "multi-construction" which means it will work on just about anything, judging by the description. I'll just have to find a lot of things to drill 2" holes in so I can recoup my investment. :O:

Now I need to find a case to store all the tools I have that I'll never need again. :haha:

Well, I do have a toolbox, but since it's been my only storage for everything tool/hardware related that was small enough to fit in there, it's filled with all the extra nails, screws, nuts, bolts, and other tiny bits of hardware I've accumulated over the years. So I guess once I figure out where in the garage to store those, I can put more actual tools in the toolbox.

05-09-13, 10:05 PM

They make special boxes just to store that kind of stuff, with little drawers and everything. This frees up the toolbox to store just tools. Then once everything is properly stored in its place you can spend all day searching and saying "I was sure I had one of those!" That way you can finally give up and go buy another one, just so you can look for the perfect place to store it, right next to the other one that was already there!

I have much exerience with this sort of thing. :sunny:

Yeah, the top of my tool box actually has a bunch of those little compartments with separate lids that snap down over top of them. It's come in real handy over the years, the lids are clear so I can see what I've got. Still have boxes of nails and anchors and whatnot in the bottom of the box, though. Those I'll need to get storage for in the garage if possible.

I'm a hardware hoarder, I've never taken anything apart and thrown it away without saving any and all hardware on it that looked like it might be useful at some time in the future. Usually if I need some little something for a project I find I've already got something suitable.

Exactly. When my daughter, who is married and has two of her own is still my "baby", how do I look at someone who is half her age?

On the other hand, I remember well being your age, and looking back from a great distance I'm amazed at how little I actually understood at that age. My response was to the fact that the comment I responded to did indeed seem to me to be a little childish. Don't let that put you off, though, I've done the same myself many times. I don't tease people I don't respect. I either get really serious or I just ignore them.

It doesn't interest me at all what Jim and Privateer tell the missus and what they don't tell her.
Then why post at all, especially when you've never purchased anything from Amazon through the Subsim link? When you got involved, and it was funny, and they responded in kind.

I'm reminded of an experience from years ago (brace yourselves for an old fart story!). My late friend Dick the Crazy Ranger was a very tough hombre. One day we were joking about tough things and I told him to watch out or I'd sic my mom on him. Dick straightened his back, stuck his chin out and said "I'm not afraid of any woman!" I said my mom was pretty tough herself, and Dick got even more hostile about it. The fact is my mom was 5'2" tall and weighed 98 pounds, but he just didn't get the joke.

That seems to be the case here. The fact is that you are accepted, so don't worry about it. Jeff gave you permission to use his real name, which means a lot. Take it in stride, or stay out of it. You can't have it both ways.
