Ours gets seizures. Only once a year for some reason, but we always wonder if it happens when we're gone. Worry about her sometimes for that.
Dr's claim there's nothing that can be done unless it starts to happen with a monthly frequency. Then there might be meds that can help, but even that is supposedly hit or miss.

Always good to have solid couple friends, but it's really tough to pull off finding another couple that you both like.

I don’t think I’d ever chill with this dude 1 on 1 and become friends outside of hanging as couples, but I’ll be fine to do double dates like that whenever Michelle/Brittney want to.

As a youth, the Atari 2600 was king, and I dearly loved mine. At the "arcade" I grew up in the heyday of stuff like Asteriods, Pac Man, Mario stuff, Galaga, etc.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 9:38 amHave you ever played a video game?Desertbreh wrote:Used extra time to improve at video games.

You talking about Amazon Wardrobe?Apex wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 9:18 amNo. But if you order 5 things and they all show up in 1 giant box, do you want to cart that back to the UPS store when it's a small item you are returning?Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 9:13 am
but is it really that hard to just put them back in the package they came in?
I've given up on Amazon. Cancelled my prime membership after 10 years in February. Recently Amex gave me 3 months free and been debating using Wardrobe

Why'd you give up on Amazon? I use it all the time.

Wife said that unless the dog has an episode in the clinic the only way to tell is for the ekg at home. So sounds like you got a good plan.SAWCE wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 10:57 amVet mentioned syncopal episode, but listened to his heart and said it sounds normal. Could be a sporadic thing though so they may have us hook him up to a 24-48 hour monitor at home and then see what it shows.
She also thinks it could be idiopathic epilepsy, so she’s gonna start him on epilepsy meds today just to cover that base while we try to schedule an appointment with a neurologist.

It's a huge time sink for sure - that's why I haven't played much of anything in the past 10+ years. I'd like to play stuff, but not enough to sacrifice other things to make the time.

The number of buttons don't bother me, but the complexity in game play does. Not that I don't like it, I just don't have the time. I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 5 months ago and have played it maybe 2 hours total. It's just so involved that I don't have the time to spend enjoying it, really. I think it's just an aspect of getting older.

I got counterfeit stuff more than once and just decided it wasn't worth it. I've posted about it before. A lot of their reviews are now fakes too. I used to be 100% confident in their reviews to the point I'd just tell my wife to search whatever had the best reviews on the product we were looking for and buy it. That was a big deal for me because I obsessively research before I buy shit to an almost unhealthy degree. Amazon was great about the returns but it just kinda soured me on the whole thing. I was a true believer 2 years ago.
We still buy stuff on Amazon and just choose free standard shipping and make sure it's not a high dollar purchase or something that's the target of counterfeiting.
The video aspect seemed to be mostly duplicates if what we get on Netflix so no loss there.
