Oooo so nice and clean. I do manage to keep an inbox zero on all my emails. Work, personal, and newsletter inbox.

I hang onto old emails in case I want to see when a company runs big sales, so I know when to hold off on a purchase for when they typically have a sale.

In 2010, for an employee-year recognition gift, I selected a DVD player with surround sound speakers. Even though today it's a DVD player—and not Blu-ray—I continue to use it when I want really cool sound with a movie.

It was so cold last night when I set out the bags, that the yard waste stickers didn't intitially stick to the bags. They fell right to the ground! I had to really rub and pinch the stickers for them to adhere to the bag.

Where in Glen Ellyn is this Little Library? I would love to visit it.

I just looked up the original list price for the MFC-795CW. $649.89. I bet it was hard to put that much down for a scanner at the time. But now, after 15 years, you probably feel it's worth every penny.

My ScanSnap cost a bit less, but over ten years... well worth it.

Yub Nub. Of course! My Ewok alter-ego on Bluesky should have known that. @ewoklumat.bsky.social

The day after Christmas is technically within the 12 days of Christmas.

You could get a t-shirt that says:
"Are you a Star Wars fan?"

Better yet:
"If you are an obsessive Star Wars fan, give me a high-five."

I'd give you a high-five. Actually, what would the Star Wars equivalent of a high-five be?

I love how this maniacal robot is inside a Quarter Pounder. McDonald's is saying this is the essence of McDonald's.

Adding this to my wish list!

This is actually about the time when I wake them up during school days. Maybe I'll barge into their room saying the phrase.
