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

[Velocity]

My husband trotted off to the grocery store without me today against my better judgment. He indulged his love of a bargain (and a huge sweet tooth and love of junk food) and came home with 2 packages of cupcakes and 2 pkgs of store-made chocolate chip cookies, and several packages of potato chips. I usually head this off when I'm with him. He went there supposedly for only eggs and ground beef, which he DID get, but crap! He will try to hide it all from my sight (I am diabetic) but I know it's there, sigh.

The item I left in my Amazon cart is still going down in price because a third party seller and Amazon are trying to undercut each other. I wonder how low it will go.

Sorry to jump in here so late but didn't know that can happen. I've never left stuff in the cart. Interesting.

I don't know if it's because I left it in my cart or because Amazon does this sort of thing all the time. When you leave something in your cart, it tells you if the price went up or down since last time. And in this case, it's only going down, and now two third-party sellers are trying to undercut Amazon.

That's still interesting. Will you eventually jump on the item or just keep watching to see how far it goes?

It's not a need, so maybe I'll just keep watching.

It's already dropped like $6, so even if it goes up 25-50 cents next time, it'll still be a big savings if I decide I want it.

I too do it all the time, though for some stuff, the price tends to go the opposite way

Also does that on the wishlist (though I use that more for ebooks etc)

New episodes of MacGyver are set AFTER Covid.

After.

Some optimistic view from CBS that this pandemic is going to blow over quickly after minimal effort from no one important.

Isn't that a little slimy?

I guess you could call it that or a very, very optimistic overlook. I don't think it will blow over quickly in our reality but then this is TV so I'd cut them slack for that a bit.

The medical dramas have embraced Covid and they are painting it as the end of the world.

I pointed out Greg Gremann from Ally McBeal on a rerun of Ellen the sitcom, to my wife this morning, and said "That fucker is dying of Covid on Grey's Anatomy right now."

I take the part back about this maybe happening because I left it in my cart. That's not how it works, because like I said, the price can go up too. I've had things in my cart that jumped up $5 the next day. In this instance, I just happened to leave something in my cart that is having a price war between Amazon and third-party sellers.

And currently it's about $8 less than when I added it to my cart.

New episodes of MacGyver are set AFTER Covid.

Apparently the same applies to Blue Bloods...

I mean, we're three episodes into the new season of that show and not a single mask in sight. I think they might have made a passing reference to the pandemic, but just from watching these eps, you'd never know there'd ever been one.

New MacGyver is in a shared universe with New Magnum PI, but not classic Magnum PI.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Does the new MacGyver take place in a timeline where Covid has actually been cured, or do they just pretend it never existed?

I don't think this is what physicists are talking about when they say "multiverses." Just sayin' script writers.
