I've been looking for the Death and Life of Superman novel for a while now, because I read it as a kid and I really liked it. But all the ones on Amazon are either exorbitantly priced, or they don't ship overseas.
Also, before anyone tries it, please don't get it for me, I'll make me feel guilty, and you wouldn't like me when I'm guilty.
I just hauled an exercise bike up the stairs from the basement for my father-in-law to use.
It was a good workout, but there's gotta be some easier way to get exercise than wrestling a stationary bike up and down the stairs every day.

It's a stationary bike. Shouldn't you be wrestling it in one place?

I spent yesterday doing this thing I do. I figured, well, my tv is like 14 years old. I got it early on in the flat screen craze, and it still works. It's 1080P, so it's pretty capable. The only things that really bug me are that it doesn't support ARC or CEC. But those are minor. Big thing is, picture quality is so much better these days. This was the premiere model when it came out. I spent nearly 2 grand on it, and it really still looks unique. Then again, the Samsung I picked up for $100 3 years ago looks far superior.
So anyway, I decided to get a 4K with HDR, but the quality and the prices are all over the place. I researched, searched, tested, and then (this is the thing) decided, never mind. It's all too much. I'm fine with the one we have until it dies.

We must have pictures of this.
I've been "buying a new computer" for almost a full year now.
@MindDetective, I didn't even know I had a thing to do.
Poor stationary bike. We hardly knew thee.
I mean, you do, but it tends to involve more weasels and fewer... stationary bikes.
That's the Dad Joke button. make a dad joke, get the button!
But putting down weasels wouldn't be anywhere near funny.
Maybe you should use better put downs:
Yo, weasel, if laughter is the best medicine your face must be curing the world.
I tried a Yo Momma joke, but afterwards @Emrys wouldn't talk to me for a week, and all my left socks went missing.
Be happy it was just your left socks.
Since the quake, my parents in law are living with us, occuping our living room. I know I must be solidary and I know it's selfish but hate every second of this. But what I miss the most is sitting in the living room with my wife and watch tv with her. Did you know that our tv never showed a telenovela before? I can almost feel its pain.
I used to get those a lot, like, so painful it jolts me out of deep sleep and yelling pain. I finally figured out mine came from being dehyrdated (usually), so I got in the habit of keeping a water bottle with me all day. A banana might help, too.
If I feel one coming on when I'm trying to sleep, I've found standing up quickly will help blood flow and usually stops the cramp.
I'm not entirely sure Mr Z would be welcome in @blotsfan's bed.
I used to get those all the time, years ago. Tried upping my magnesium/potassium intakes, haven't had a cramp since. YMMV.
Or me, all the time. I always get it wrong!
Found a conversation I had with a gal on OKCupid many months ago (May/June). Lots of things in common, great conversationalist, etc. And because I was in a bad place in the time, I opened up all about my depression, being out of work, living with my parents. And she STILL wanted to talk and even meet. And like an idiot, I told her I was probably going to close down my account (or at least put it on hold for awhile, which looks like I deleted it) because I was in such a bad place. And yet, she still sounded like she was interested.
She's closed her account since then.
I'm a bonehead.
