Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

[Gary Mitchell]

Is life without love worth living?

I've often wondered the same thing.

 

[Oddish]

Depends on how you mean "love".

Romantic/sexual love.

Romantic/sexual love.

Does it matter?

I've been on my own for quite some time and don't miss any of that, I'd like it but don't miss it or want it.

My dear husband of nearly 50 years passed away suddenly last year and I still consider my life worth living. I have some sad days but I have a pretty full life and consider it worth living.

Grocery day is usually every other Friday and this year it falls on Black Friday. Are the grocery stores pretty empty with everyone shopping and watching football? I know it would be stupid to go on Wednesday with all the last-minute Thanksgiving shoppers.

What makes a product an "Amazon's Choice" listing? Because a lot of them are from dubious overseas sellers.

How much the retailer is willing to pay Amazon for that label I think.

Yeah tons of dodgy products on there now which is a shame

I don't know how correct it is, but here's what OneSpace says:

Amazon’s Choice Criteria

Amazon’s Choice is not considered an ad space, and brands can neither apply nor pay to receive the distinction.

To be eligible for Amazon’s Choice, a product must first be Prime-eligible, in stock, and available to ship immediately. It must also have a low return rate compared to similar products, be highly rated, and be a popular item or category best-seller.

That really doesn't jive with what some people see sold on there.

I'm perplexed by all the Elon worship on some places like gaming forums, as if he's some champion of free speech.

EXCITEMENT........ I would watch the hell out of that.

And it could cover how they left Earth and such.

Decided to go to a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner and the place is packed. They’re running behind and if you don’t have a reservation, it’s a 2-3 hour wait. We might be waiting 45 minutes after our reservation. Surprisingly, I’ve only seen one group pull a Karen with the hostess.

I hope all the US posters had a nice Thanksgiving!

 

[Aragorn]

Make that two Karens now.

I think part of the delay are people who bail on their reservations and don’t tell the hostess, so they have to wait a few extra minutes before removing them.

Wow, that shocks me, I didn't think that many people would be going out to eat tonight.

Up to three Karens now. Lady upset they haven’t gotten their salads yet is screaming at someone who isn’t even the server. She gets up to go cause a scene elsewhere and while she’s away the server brings the salads. Then the lady pats herself on the back thinking she made it happen.
