Bought a $800 treadmill. Didn't work or feel any better than the $100 ones you get off craigslist. Wife complained of knee pain from impact. Take treadmill back. Order a Gazelle off amazon. $160. Realize it is on hardwood and order a 1/4 rubber/foam mat $79. She complains litter box in same room when you sweat the cat shit odor sticks to you. Order a piece of furniture to put litter box in sealing odors with a flap/hinged top $150. Complaints no music/tv in room. Order wireless receiver box from Direct TV $99 and a TV $200 and a mount $40. Gazelle has a crappy heart rate monitor so order a fitness tracker with chest strap $80.
Now have a $800 gazelle and no treadmill.

Just moved into a new townhome a few weeks ago, and since I'm on the end I get the "bonus" of having these two shitty little 24" x 48" fixed windows (that's the size I'd need to completely cover them by just a little bit on all sides.). They are ancient, single-pane, and filled with opaque gold-colored glass (I did say ancient). Aside from the heat loss through them, someone standing outside can see if I'm inside moving around and such, even if they can't actually clearly see if I'm jerking off or something. Obviously I could just put curtains or blinds over them, but I was hoping for something a little more decorative, along the lines of the displates linked a couple years ago in this thread from Displate | Make Your Home Awesome

Unfortunately, those are all a specific size and too small. I've browsed through artwork but nothing really struck my fancy yet, and apparently 24" x 48" isn't a very common size. Anyone know of anything cool that won't cost an arm and a leg? I'm not talking a Farrah Fawcett poster either, as enticing as that sounds.

Got any picture frame or scrapbook friends. Make a frame for the Displate in a good solid color to fill the hole properly.

That's actually a great idea. I didn't even think of it because I sort of just saw the Displate as a complete unit, but no reason it couldn't be mounted on something else. Thanks!

Jailbreak is an IOS term for Rooting I'm pretty sure, you don't even need to root your firestick. I bought one myself recently, its pretty good. Considering getting one for my parents since the interface is simple.

I have had a pebble steel - I have found the function I want from a smart watch is - is it a call or text? who is it from? a few lines to review if I need to get my phone out - same with emails. beyond that the extras are fluff - this looks like a nice compromise... while having a "real" watch that does not look overly like a "smartwatch"

I could do with a smaller crown on the thing, but the other styles and versions where 150-250$ more (other tommy ver, boss or coach...the movado one is 700$ and while I want that... not really wanting to drop 700$ on it)

SO - this time of year, G always went on a fishing trip with his three best friends. They started this activity many years ago and for a long time; the ongoing joke about where they were staying centered around whether or not the cabins had towels furnished or not - we called this the "towel situation".
For the last several years, G was in charge of the trip. Two years ago, he made the plans but couldn't go because he was so ill...the guys came here instead.
Last year, the guys went to the place where G had planned for them to go in 2015. They texted me throughout that trip; with pictures and stories.
Today, they are on their way to their destination. 2 of the guys are from KC and they stopped to see me on their way to KY (the other guy lives in Indiana). I had them stop to see me because I wanted to do something special for them (they are SO incredibly important to me), so I "solved" their towel situation.
I also made sure each of them could enjoy a St. Louis beer (and they could pour one out for G).
**edit.. each got a full set...extra lg. fluffy bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth. They loved them ♡♡♡
