@ThanosReXXX Happy birthday mate, I hope that you have a great day! It may not be as easy because of the current situation, but you still can and I'm sure you will
Hey people, wanna have some fun on this boring Saturday? Go here, before it's gone...
@NEStalgia So, how's about joining the chit-chat gang again some time? I've hardly seen you around here lately, and in between all the lock-down rules and the E3 and any and all game-related shows now being cancelled, I'm getting so bored, that I'd actually be willing to talk about real trains instead of hype trains...
It's unnaturally warm in my neck of the woods for this time of year today (high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit), but that'll change with some storms blowing through this evening. I'm hoping to get out and catch a bit of sun (and play Pokemon Go) before that happens.
@Eel I made it to section 4 of the Special Research yesterday, between my short evening walk and getting out during my lunch. Thankfully they aren't too difficult, but I'm bleeped if there will be any trading involved. I still can't believe they haven't added remote trading to the game yet....
@Heavyarms55 I definitely noticed when I cut soda in high school; I was drinking 1-2 a day and lost about five pounds without doing much else. I technically don't prohibit myself from drinking it anymore, but I've found I don't crave it anymore either. That's not to say I won't indulge in a good Dr. Pepper or Root Beer float when the time comes, however....
My main problem is that I just don't move around enough. I try to exercise about 2 1/2-3 hours a week at least. I'm also not gifted with the best metabolism.
@WoomyNNYes I stick with three meals a day and make sure to eat breakfast; otherwise, I'm starving and eventually contract a headache. I also have a late morning snack, in part due to the fact that I'm in the habit of taking lunch pretty late. XD It's a leftover habit from college due to a weird schedule at one point. It's also more convenient to take lunch later vs. the usual 12-1. I don't have as many problems running errands and also feel like I do my best work late morning/early afternoon.
@ThanosReXXX My family uses the "Over The Hill" brand for some light joking. XD I like your sister's card! I've seen similar things but definitely appreciate such humor.
And, of course, I love the comic. Though Spidey and Dr. Banner aren't looking so hot in that second panel.

@Tyranexx I wasn't really offended. Just trying to act like your regular 50-year old.
Glad you liked the comic. Mission accomplished...
My sister did more than send a card, though: she also sent me this surprise box with a pop-out balloon.
So, instead of a house full of people, that's now keeping me company, while I'm sipping my Bacardi & Coke, and enjoying my snack plate...

What is up with all the stupid posts lately especially duplicate posts and such? I think NL needs a system where new accounts have to read the rules before being granted an account. I am sure that will cut down on alot of work for the more.

Phew. My brother and I organized, and got our mother a yellow switch lite with animal crossing for mother's day. Can't want to see if she likes it. It's gonna be the first time she gets a brand new console all for herself.
@Tyranexx no trading required this week. Who knows for the next three!
@Ninfan Ha! That's a BIG question. But in general, I just hope I'm able to continue to enjoy them for a LONG time to come, and that they'll continue to impress and entertain me, regardless of what platform they're on.
In that regard, even though I completely understand it, I'm also pretty sad that there isn't going to be any major game show this year. We'll still have IGN's online-only effort in June, but that's just not the same as a full-blown E3, so yeah, still a bit sad...

Actually had some spring weather for a change, after most of April was cold. Took my Switch out to enjoy it, albeit I was pretty much outside my home because of the current situation. Still was nice to get out for a bit.
@ThanosReXXX Sounds like my kind of evening TBH. And as long as you don't start calling that balloon "Wilson"....
@Eel Phew, that's a relief! There are a couple of lucky trades I need to pull off, but I don't see that happening for some time under the current circumstances. XD
Looking forward to reading the aftermath of your mom's Switch surprise!

@Tyranexx Nah, I'm a quiet drunk. I don't make a lot of noise, ever. Unless I'm mad, but that always takes a LONG time to build up. Does make the reversal/cool down a "bit" hard, though...
