I'm almost afraid of what the "already watched" shelf looks like.
Actually I'm pretty sure I know. My dad made the most of his HBO subscription back in the 80s and 90s by recording ALMOST EVERY SINGLE MOVIE on VHS and putting them on shelves in the basement. One summer I spent helping him catalogue them, there were something like 1300 movies. He had to invent a filing/labelling system for them ("Oh, Dirty Harry? That's a police movie, so it will be under P3.").

Prog... lots of prog.
Sure I do. Unreliable rural Florida internet connection.

Hives!! I hate hives! Whoever invented them sucks.
Yesterday, in a departmental meeting, I noticed that one of our PMs is actually quite hot. She was dressed in what would probably be best described as a "pleasantly form-fitting outfit".
Today, surprisingly, she has not announced that she's leaving the company. She did, however, announce that she's getting married, and I know her boyfriend (well, fiance now) lives in Spain, so...

Have you considered just wrapping yourself in bubblewrap and sitting on the sofa for a couple of days/weeks/months?The finger I dislocated a few years ago almost came out again today

Wife's therapist told me she thinks I should see a therapist (a different one, of course) and that was seven months ago. Earlier this month I finally agreed to do so. Now I want to back out because I don't think it's necessary, but I also told my wife that and she said I should still go at least once. But she knows one sit-down isn't enough to do anything, like taking only one pill of an antibiotic doesn't do anything. So now I don't know what to say, and I'm also trying not to be resistant to it. This person isn't covered by our insurance, so it feels like throwing away $150. My wife essentially told me do what I want, which is a passive-aggressive way of saying to do what I'm supposed to do, so ... bleh.
My mother grew up in rural Thailand. It's now a solidly middle-income country, but back then it was firmly in the Third World. Thailand also took in hundreds of thousands of Indochinese refugees. That means she grew up knowing people who died from pneumonia, malaria, cholera, dengue, cyclones, house fires, motorcycle accidents, NVA troops, the Khmer Rouge, napalm, stepping on land mines, falling down waterfalls a la The Fugitive, being gored by water buffalo, tiger attack, and falling coconuts.
She's become overly anxious in everyday situations because the Thailand that she was raised in was infested with slave traders, con artists, rowdy GIs on leave, opium dealers, and street children. Combine that experience with her own medical problems. She's got severe respiratory allergies and is a hypochondriac to boot, so she sees EVERYTHING in the air as a threat. Even smelling someone's wood fire triggers a coughing fit. She puts on a surgical mask when walking outside so she looks like a National Geographic photo of a Shanghai resident on an average day.
You might wonder how this affects me. As soon as I visited home this holiday season, EVERY time I go outside she insists that I bring a coat and handkerchief. She even tried to force a mask on me before. Everything in the air might make her sick, so she thinks all of us have those same allergies. FYI, I'm only allergic to dust mites and cottonwood, and even then those are only light allergies. It's infuriating because she's been conditioned to be afraid of the world and wants us to be just as frightened. I just go out and do my thing. I feel sorry for her more than I'm annoyed.
And yes, I know this is a minor complaint. That's why I'm just whining here.
