Isn't the container that collects rain water in the UK also called a "butt"?

Well, my old computer started dying. Fortunately I was able to back everything up onto a new one.

Honestly aside from work, I think like 98% of my time I like is mobile.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

My hands can shake a lot. I'm a bit of a fumbler. So I prefer keyboard.

My fella and I had been talking about rewatching Buffy and Angel for a while.

After finding the complete B files, found out the sound files were jacked up. Hunted for A files with zero success. Looked at BestBuy and the complete A serires was half off AND I hunted down a coupon code. So I ordered it for my guy for Valentines Day.

When the delivery came from FedEx, another box was also delivered. GMTA come to find out, as he ordered the complete B series for me for the same holiday!

Dust off ye olde dvd player and here we go!! :poke: :angel1: :happydevil: :laughroll:
