Great to see you back with us again :)

They do, but my greatest joy this time of year is the giving, and this year it's totally gone. Really disappointing.

I'm so unprepared, I feel terrible. I normally do so well for everyone, but I'm so financially strained I couldn't do anything for anyone. I feel awful.

Hope everyone's doing well :)

Loooong day here, how about yourself?

Very nice :)

That's good! Definitely good to be relaxing, especially this time of year when everything's hectic anyway!

Ah, understandable! Hopefully you get to rest up tonight!

Pretty good, how about yourself?

Morning :)

It's a very valid point, certainly makes sense!

I'm doing as little as possible...as usual, lol

Two great communities, great to see them under one owner :)

I need to move there, then, lol Morning!

I'm stuck in a rut financially, can't get out of it, so those things I can never afford will remain unaffordable for quite some time.

That's me most years!

Nah, just stealing them!

lol, I'm certainly not hard to find :D

Oh nothing much, just a quiet day, try and look after my mother and then poke around on a few forums :)

Absolutely, as much prep as possible, always helps.

Very nice! Community events are fun!

That's true!!

Quite some time!

Very nice!

Ah, rank titles, love it, lol :D

Very nice! Love that Jcink keeps that old school Invision look going, so nice!

Nice! I'm just dealing with a very minor medical issue and then probably doing more or less the same, dabbling with forums :)

Always good :)

Morning, how are you doing?

Light bulbs. For some reason they go out FAR too often.

I'm very quick to apologize when I'm wrong. I don't like to be at odds with people, it doesn't sit well with me.

Yeah, might gain too much weight.

Neat cover version of Bullet with the Butterfly Wings

GIF it to me, baby!

There's a gif for every occasion!

I'm nerdier, I celebrate with Pudgy gifs!

Always great when the Vegas Showgirls lose :D

Bahstin, eh? Interesting. Just watch Dallas beat the Blues earlier, it was quite nice :)

Mmm, snacks.

Nice and chill :)

Very nice, hopefully a nice simple evening!

Yay!! I bet they were delicious!

How's everyone's night going?

...Reese's Sugar Cookie Big Cup tastes...strange...not sure if I'm a fan or not.

I'd chat if people wanted to, sure.

Hey now! Only we redheads can have ginger cookies! We earned that! :p

Cookies are amazing!

Very festive :)

Hope everyone is having a great Friday :)

I umm...kind of won it... 😊

I can't. I can barely afford food right now, I can't even dream about something like that. Even if I could, there are more important things that money could go towards.

That's a good perspective to have!

It's a ridiculously useless item that no one really has a use for...but I want...lol

...I can't, it's too embarrassing...

...I'm window shopping something right now that is something I wanted as a kid but never got...it's too expensive, I can't afford it, but...I want it, lol.

I'm in a long distance relationship, it's early days, we love each other, but we haven't given it the REAL test just yet. That time will come, I'm looking forward to that, because I do really feel like she's my one.

London. Awful.

The one thing I learned from my father is DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS, they do not pay off.

Yep, the tree's up.

My dad was driving my 93 Suburban because I was under the weather and had to get to an appointment, so I asked him to drive. He got distracted yelling at someone who wasn't paying attention when, while not paying attention, he rear-ended the car in front. Ruined the front end of my car, the...

Best of luck to all who enter! :)

I'm mountains in debt and shouldn't be wasting my time with wants, especially ones I couldn't afford even if I wasn't in debt. $300+ trinkets? No, dumbass, you can't afford those. Pretty much the same!

I'm spending my evening looking at things I can't afford, because I'm an idiot. How's everyone else doing?

So far so good, how about yourself?

Very nice! It looks high quality, so I can see why it's sought after, I certainly hope it's one you enjoy :) Morning! How's your day shaping up?

Hope everyone had a wonderful day, sorry, long day here!

Morning :)

Whoo! Bonus time!

So so, how you doing?

How's your day going?

Feliz Navidad has become quite played out, but then so have so many of them, lol.

That's a very nice chess set!

Most of them are awful after hearing them non-stop in stores and in commercials, lol

Yep, pretty much has to be, lol

Yeah, absolutely understandable! Hopefully you get plenty of time to rest through the night now!

Nice! Always the hard part! :)

How's your day going?

Spent money on a raffle for something I wanted as a child but never got...and then lost the raffle...of course.

Yay, may the successes keep going for Off Topix :)

I was taught a long time ago, but I fail consistently, lol. Step into, firm grip, don't crush the fingers, all the fun stuff, but I always end up doing something wrong and making it an awkward handshake :D

As much as I don't like Apple, I do agree something like this would be a good "entry level" approach for someone who isn't sure on hearing aids. It could let them experience a level of hearing that they would otherwise not know without them, and then as you said, make that determination that...

Oh absolutely, nothing but essential travel for right now.

Yep, at least we all try!

Eh, life is what it is. We all struggle. Somehow I'll manage.

Very much so!

Yep, I'm hoping I can sell a few things and make the cash I need to get it sorted. Gotta' do what you've gotta' do, after all.

Not for a while, sadly, struggling financially, so going to have to figure that out another way.

Had to put a donut on my car because I had a nail in the sidewall of one of my tires...yay!

Morning all, how's your weekend going so far?

Aww, so sweet! :)

I don't know what I'd do, something dependable, but nothing flashy. I don't need a $100,000 vehicle.

Likewise, hope you're doing well up there in the frozen north!

How's your day been?

Hope everyone's having a wonderful day :)

Oh it sure did! The corporate overlords have long since abandoned it, but there are loyal posters, including Howard still there.

Barely, lol, but it's still clinging on. I'm not exactly active there, but it's nice to stop by and read through it.

Forum Promotion, Off Topix, TAZ, my own forum, a few smaller ones, and a couple of projects :)

Oh yeah, quite a few other forums :)

Definitely :)

Ah, that sounds like fun!! Hopefully you both have a good time :)

Nope, nothing specific, just going to try and relax a bit. See if I can catch up on some rest, maybe watch some movies or a tv show. Something I just plain don't get to do anymore.

Fairly typical for me, lots of stress, not enough time to really relax, lol. Hopefully more relaxing coming this weekend, but we'll see!

Fingers crossed!!

Very much so! As someone who suffers from recurrent leg infections, I know precisely how ineffective they can become over time. But hopefully these ones will be effective and get you back in gear :)

You gif and it gets going!

Good! Those antibiotics definitely do help most of the time, so here's hoping!

Cold would be nice!

Well hopefully the next couple of days will be refreshing!

Eek, yeah, definitely hope the cool off helps with that!

That's good! Take advantage of the cool off!

Oh no! Well, best to know for sure, hopefully you've got something to treat it with now and you'll be able to get past it quickly!

Afternoon, how's your day been?

Welcome, we're happy to have you here :)

I haven't seen a band live in AGES, far too long! Hope everyone's doing well! Oh my, that sounds absolutely horrible! I hope you get better soon! ❤️

I hear you, back out in the grind again. We'll keep you sane ;)

Going alright here, how about yourself?

Hopefully it turned out to be!

Very nice, sounds like the makings of a nice evening!

Afternoon, how's your day going?

Yeah, I understand, but the beautiful thing about forums is this content will always be here, anytime you're able to post and respond :)

Oh absolutely, life takes priority, but we'll do what we can to keep things moving along here so when you do stop by there's plenty to respond to :)

Well hopefully we can keep activity flowing moving forward :)

Yep, nice to see some life here again, isn't it? :)

Yep!

Good time for one of those!

Same temps here, sadly.

Non-existent here, lol. Got no money, but going to try and pull something together for my family, I like to give.

Modest, but fun. I enjoyed watching everyone opening their presents, even as a kid I was never that interested in GETTING, more in others having fun.

Excellent to see you here @Krissycakes09 :)

There are platter based harddrives that spin, most use those for storage only, they're mechanical and have moving parts so they're slower to read and write to, making them slower overall as storage options. Then there are SATA SSDs, which are not mechanical, they're completely solid state and...

We've got nvme storage on this server, much faster read/write access, so much faster loading :)

That's a decent garage sized TV. Good for movies!

lol, hopefully with a little more success than the gif ;)

We've been having a little chat already, lol, but since I missed this earlier, welcome back! :)

Makes it nice to post on forums, too, having a bit of entertainment on while you do it.

Good choice! Scary movies are fun :)
