COFFEE, DRAGONS AND MUSIC - AN UPDATE ON ME

Alright, tomorrow I go for coffee with the regular group. We do so enjoy our outings. I'm going to have something small to eat. Nothing big as the place is expensive as hell. But I may have a slice of pie or something with my coffee.

After getting the things I need and after a good friend sent some money, I have $65.80 to spend on myself the rest of the month and I'll be happy. I don't need fancy, I just need out of here now and then.

I am swearing not to have a big meal out for the rest of the month, but I will get some treats in now and then (not often). I was up this week, more so than I would like - so I am going to try hard to be good.

I'm almost finished with Game of Thrones. I'm on Season 7 (the current one) and have 4 episodes left to watch. Might watch 1 or 2 more today and the others tomorrow after coffee.

I am amazed actually that when I saw an episode years ago that I did not like it and passed it off. But I'm glad I decided to give it a go from the start and got very deep into the story.

In any event, I have pulled my back but it's not a bad one this time - the Robax works on it well enough to do things. Well that's about it for this day in Dave Land. You have a good one.

P.S. I saved $20 in my PayPal for my subscriptions next month. I would LOVE to have the Google Play Music in that pile of subscriptions but there is too much talk it will be taken over by some dang YouTube music player for more money - I do NOT want that, I just want a simple music streaming service - not a video service.

    i like google play music too. Robaxacet works well for back pains i think. glad you're going out with some friends for coffee talk, i'd love to do that with you too Dave, always love your stories. I haven't been watching GOT, I'll have to start, cause it looks awesome and I love their amazing VFX. I have an idea for a short for my channel that is GOT related...hoping to team up with an amazing VFX artist to have his work in it and film it soon with my friend Chris. Have a great weekend Dave!

      I'm loving the show - the VFX are actually amazing. I mean the shadow of the dragon on the rocks conforming to the shape of the rock put me in AWE of it. It all looks so realistic and seamless.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
