You're luckier than most people around.

I once saw a couple arguing after he bought her flowers about "I want money, not flowers. What will I do with flowers, put them in a bin?"
I thank God every day for the girl he sent my way. Without her I would not be half the man I am today. She loves flowers to so lucky me!

My wife would never want money, but she does think flowers are a waste of money. They just die, and since we have cats they can't really be displayed.

I overheard two women chatting at the grocery store last night. One said to her friend "my husband bought me flowers and chocolates for Valentines day, I supposed I'll have to spend the weekend with my legs in the air" and her friend replied "why, don't you have a vase?".

We special ordered some end tables for the living room around six weeks ago and they were delivered today. They are from American Drew Furniture and are part of their Modern Synergy collection. They match beautifully with the other pieces we already have in the living room which are also from the same collection.

They look really nice on either side of the sofa. They are the perfect size and pair well with our sense of style.

So I spilled a half a bottle of gingerberry kombucha on my keyboard today. It was a Logitech G915 TKL low profile keyboard with cherry reds.

I had to get a new KB right away as I need it for work, so needed something in stock locally - and ended up getting the Logitech G Pro X TKL with brown tactile switches. This is not low profile.

Was hoping for the ASUS ROG Strix Scope II wireless but they only had it in white at Best Buy.

Anybody here tried both regular keyboards and low profile keyboards - mechanicals?

As expected, the change felt so weird at first but it's getting pretty normal real fast.

I like your window frames. Are those original?
Thanks! Yes it is original to the home. When we moved in 7 years ago it needed some renovations but we took great pains to preserve the original trim. In the places were we could not we were able to source the unfinished trim and match the correct color of stain.

The Jetta finally made it to the kid today. The transport driver was nice enough to maneuver close to his school, despite very narrow streets, so he didn't have to walk 30 minutes out to get it.

Of course, then the kid told me there will be snow coming on Wed and Thur.. so ordered him squeegee and ice scraper off Amazon.

ok fuck regular rise keyboards/keyboard caps. Especially after gaming I missed the low profile caps. And even for typing.

once you go low profile - you never go back.

Nekteck neck and back massager. Ok, I didn't actually buy it but got it for Christmas. Holy mackerel, this thing delivers. I was skeptical at first. It took awhile to finally try it but really surprised with this thing. It has four massage nodes on each side that rotate, and also heats up a bit if you choose. Only used it on my neck so far, and am looking forward to trying it on my lower back.

We have this exact same one. I love it and use it weekly. The wife isn't a fan, she says it hurts, but doesn't compute since it's you actually pulling it yourself to create the pressure you want.

I have an older version of that under a slightly different brand name. The first one went out after a year or so but it had an email address on a tag to ask for a replacement “ted at resteck.com”. I had no faith that it would work but sure enough “Ted” sent another. It’s been years and the replacement still works. I use it post workout while gaming or watching TV.
