Coredump posted:Holy poo poo is that a 390 Duke? How is it? Ever have any time on a DRZ to compare to? It's quite... boring. Build quality feels fine and it's light and nimble. You won't be pullin sikh wheelies bruh or anything. It's very much an around town bike. Note: I ride the SD1290 behind it and owned an RC8R so my sense of excitement is broken.

Chest freezer for the new home. Getting delivered next weekend. Now I can stock up on all the meat deals, make freezer meals in advance, freeze vegetables from my garden, etc... Aww, who am I kidding, it'll be full of DiGionrno and Icee Pops.

Captain Lavender posted:I've only slept on it once, but... it's kind of amazing. It usually takes me forever to fall asleep, but I fell asleep on this in no time. When we bought our king sized icomfort, they said it would take a few weeks of getting used to it. I crawled in to that bed and was out cold the entire night. I sleep pretty well in that bed, the exceptions being when I'm really depressed or in a lot of pain. A good bed is well worth the money. For actual content, I dropped 1400 on a private MRI yesterday. The results are already in and my doctor already called me, so I don't think it's good news.

I bought a ton of kidney beans, bell peppers, fresh banana peppers, onions, etc., and made a huge pot of chicken chili. It's amazing. I'm trying to cut back on red meat as sad as it sounds, but chicken goes well with anything you can do with beef, really.

When I was at the market day in the local town I saw a guy walk by with a bunch of posters, the wind blew and I caught a glimpse of a baby in uniform. 100 Kenyan shillings (about a US dollar) later, it was mine. I didn't even barter. It now lives on the tent wall behind my charging area. I don't even know where it comes from. But I loving love it.

Everyone should spend whatever it takes to find a good fitting mattress! You spend a third of your life on the drat thing, so you'd be crazy not to. It was my first big purchase as an adult and I never regretted a second of it.

You spend a third of your life on the drat thing, so you'd be crazy not to. It was my first big purchase as an adult and I never regretted a second of it. Yeah, I bought a new bed like 6 months ago (Comforpedic memory foam, pretty sure I posted it in this thread) and it has made a huge difference. I have a bad back (degenerative disc disease, 3 herniated discs, I had surgery on it 2 years ago) and I used to wake up like 5 times a night, and it would take me forever to fall asleep. But with my new bed I fall asleep within half an hour, and usually sleep through the night (occasionally I will wake up once), and it has also helped a lot with the back pain. It is absolutely worth the investment to get a nice bed.

Ms Boods posted:Lost in Space buddy. I was about 8 or 9 in 1974, and it ran in syndication on the local indie just about when I ran in the door from school; the mad, later John Williams opening score (with the countdown) + afterschool sugar had me bouncing off the walls like a hummingbird on speed. My nephew's not much younger than I am, so we spent a hell of a lot of time playing on my swingset pretending it was the Jupter II -- he always always played the Robot. I am only 26, but I grew up watching Lost in Space on the Sci Fi Channel every morning when my mom dropped me off at my grandma's house before school. I was the weird kid whose favorite tv show was a black and white science fiction show that none of my friends knew about. I might have to pick up this set.

I bought soap! "Pink Sugar is such a sweet and wonderful scent, a fruity blend of cotton candy, lemon drops, caramel and raspberry jam on a dry down of musks. Cast in a light pink bar and dusted with shimmering white mica." and "Fresh citrus highlights sparkle around the floral heart of lavender and ylang in this sensuous blend. An earthy signature of patchouli and spiced wood leads to a base of warm animal tones. Leather and musk balance with balsamic undertones as hints of powdery vanilla complete the blend. Cast in a dark grey soap and dusted with a silver shimmer on top". I'm gonna smell pretty! (I also bought a heart-shaped padlock and, eventually once the shopowner contacts me back, a custom braided leather collar.)

I had to play the 'girl roles' when me and my nephew acted LIS out, but we'd fight over who got to be Will -- the kid also did a knockout Dr Smith. I will admit that I had two pairs of zip up faux leather boots at that age, one black pair and a white, and I'd switch them out over and over as I went back and forth from being Penny to being Judy. As a brunette, I preferred to be Penny, and I also thought Judy was kind of a drip, though. Meanwhile: I'm not a made-for-TV Goth, and have no interest in skulls and bats and stuff, but I am a sucker for Latin text and tiny, tiny clocks! [two new stamping plates from Moyou London]

Realised at work yesterday that my favourite pants had just about worn completely through, and that my t-shirts (which didn't really cut it in the first place) were threadbare af. Turns out there was a big sample sale going on today, so I spent a little under a week's rent and bought the below, plus two pairs of trousers and another two tops which aren't online. One is drapey cream silk, one is plaid cotton. I hate doing the fast fashion thing, but man, designer prices are killing me. I wish I could still get away with head-to-toe thrifted stuff Also bought this one from my favourite designer, Kowtow, a few weeks ago. They have great sales twice per year.
