Way to derail my post, but I have to admit the derailment is more entertaining than my OP.
Update-- She and I have messaged more since, and I think I bypassed the stage of gauging her interest with that awkward and schmaltzy message in the OP.
I'm learning the nuances of Google Translate. Small...
I have a little knowledge of simplified Chinese, but the other person does the hard stuff. Thanks for trying!
That Google Translation is very wordy and too literal. "It was almost magical, like in the movies" works in English, but how would a native Chinese speaker express that sentiment?
For...
Hoping to find someone to translate this into colloquail Mandarin:
I recall fondly that morning we had together. It was almost magical, like in the movies. I chuckle when I think of our stumbling attempts to communicate, and you were very gracious. I will be travelling to your city next month...
OMG FREE TV
Bought a TV online from major national retailer and picked it up at the store. After a few days, got an email saying order was canceled due to nonpickup and they refunded credit card! Called their customer service and they said our mistake, you can keep TV and mooney! It was a...

The Girl With All The Gifts 2016 UK
It's free on Amazon Prime. Good post-apocalyptic "zombie" movie with strong female lead characters - Not the sexualized types that some people find offensive. Similar in some ways to 28-Days Later.
I'd miss the Dollar store. I buy crap that I don't even need, e.g. an L-square the other day. Metal square for a buck - How can I lose?
Ace can't compete with Lowes and Home Depot in my neighborhood. Couple of Aces opened and closed within a couple of years. I'm curious if there are...
Edit: Sorry, I remembered wrongly. It's not the ABS. It's the "service stability system" warning and one of the possible causes is faulty ABS sensor.
The service stability problem issue is tricky because there are apparently several possible causes/sensors for the fault, ranging from cheap...
I'm thinking of selling a 15-yr old near-lux sedan. I hate to call it a beater because the paint and interior are near pristine - It lives in the garage because my real beater is out on the driveway. 150,000 miles. Unfortunately the car has all kinds of niggling mechanical and electronic...
There's a shortage of commercial mahi, apparently. What's the going price for it? I used to buy it regularly at Trader Joe, but they stopped carrying it.
Update 8/23/17: Dead - Price back up to $1099. I did receive the extra 4% back on Chase! I figured it's not really possible for them to check whether a discount code was used or not.
This laptop usually goes on sale for around $1,000 in this configuration. It's $852 today, and there are 5%...

Be careful - National Car Rental has a mileage limit on specialty luxury vehicles. Or at least they did when I considered renting a fancy car from them last year. Read the fine print.
Hot deal:
GreenWorks Pro ST80L210 80V 16-Inch Cordless String Trimmer, 2Ah Battery and Charger Included, $148
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CA4PRRO/
The battery alone costs well in excess of $100. The only drawback is that this trimmer doesn't take attachments, but the battery is...
I googled "Calvin Klein Liquid Cotton Shrink" and found this thread! Whatever happened to Size S girlfriend?
(Wondering whether to return a CK shirt. Worried it will shrink.)
edit: 6700+ views! Not bad for a 14-reply thread.

The replies to that tweet are gold!
I see what you did thar.
Adding to dull's post: We don't spend much on gasoline, so when I tried to buy gift cards from a gas station during the previous quarter's promotion, the gas station required payment by cash. I didn't look further into it because not worth the hassle.
