Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

So……anybody get presents that ended up returning or gonna regift? Whatcha got it you did/are?

Got a huge drink rambler that has my name on it. I have no use for it as I have plenty of other things for water. Not sure what to do.

Apparently telling people gift cards or nothing are just fine means 'buy him stuff that needs to be put somewhere that he doesn't need or want'.

I texted my SIL a link to an article of clothing I wanted. It was pretty much "I would like this color, but <this color> or <other color> also work." I guess all three colors were unavailable because she got the one color I really didn't want. (Cream/off white. I'm too much of a klutz to keep it clean)

One of the earlier iterations of CF allowed you to see a ranked list of how many posts each user had. I know at least one of the most frequent posters on the list passed away, sadly I can't remember who it was any longer.

Also, just below the red CycloneFanatic banner at the top of your screen is a light grey menu. Click on "members". That's on a PC, not a phone. I don't know where it is on the phone.

Thank you ma'am!

When I scroll the list, I think these are people whose names I recognize as people who post as much as I do. Then I go and check my postings and I'm putting in less than 1/4 of the work as many of them.

Weirdly feeling better about the time I spend on here. No judgments about anyone else of course.

TBH, I was surprised I was so low on the list. According to Lew, I'm on here 24/7.

Damnit. One the high up people in my part of our conglomerate is jumping over to be the President of Raytheon. Great Cyclone.

Is Raytheon the company that produces/distributes/does something tv-y with Brooklyn 99 and the good place?

Never seen them but I want to say no. Aerospace and Defense is our business.

Jasper? I did LDP 2 (or maybe it was 3?) with him back in the day. Sharp guy.

Hey KC, asking me about things from four years ago is difficult to remember.

Yeah, I know. I didn't look at the date. I hate it when that happens!

Yup

They're ramping up for a news conference - was supposed to start 6 minutes ago. Police will be giving the info, so it won't be hearsay.

And that news conference was almost a non news conference.

Judt wait until the first TV time out on Saturday to confirm this.

ISU out to quick start: Should be a blow out!

ISU behind: What is WITH this team!

ISU wins: the conference championship is right there for the taking!

ISU loses: I sure miss when Johnny wouldn't lose games.

It's a road game he would lose it. Johnny's teams weren't really road warriors.

Posting to keep the RTT thread streak alive. Much easier these days when we can make it go on all year instead of the few thousand posts from the early days of it.

How was Switzerland? What country are you in now? Yes your life is way more interesting than mine.

Ha, that's kind of the point. Retrospect can be quite a thing for a few.

Understandable. With green screen can't wear electric green sneakers.

Oh yeah, Textile Taphaus in Atkins is all right for supper a flight of 5 and a flat bread pizza just under $30. So a little pricey but but the quality of both the pizza and beer were good. In a remodeled older building on the N(?) end of main street.

I will pass that along to my dad. He was recently asking about restaurants in smaller towns to explore.
