  1. I need the data to run my business when I don't happen to be at my laptop.  I use my phone to accept substitute teaching jobs through my school systems app, I have a family chat with my mom and sisters that is our primary mode of communication.  I'm probably on Reddit or Discord too often, but I've used my phone to Google important numbers or find addresses, or used the GPS feature to get directions to shows.  It's a necessity for me.  

  2. Anyone who's a huge nerd (as opposed to most of the people here, who are techinically geeks), will enjoy Time Team!  It's on Amazon Prime, and also full episodes are on You-Tube.  It's an archeology show; the team is given three days to do rescue excavation somewhere in the UK, and it's amazing every time.  It's rare that they don't find ANYTHING, but most of the time it's pretty exciting.  

    I recommend starting with Turkdean I and II (a newly discovered Roman Villa, the only place they dug twice), The Massacre in the Cellar (English Civil War), and Codnor Castle (a high status stone castle that had been built in stages over the centuries).  They cover every time period, with all the latest (for the time) technology, and since the show was on for 15 years, you can watch the tech get better and better.

  3. If anyone is interested in some other Tennessee treats, I thoroughly recommend Mayfield Ice Cream.  They have 3 factories in and around the Knoxville/McMinn county area, and it is delicious.  I don't know if it's a national brand or not, but it's the "luxury" ice cream around here.  The only reason I didn't suggest sending it is because I didn't now if there was a way to ship it.

    Hello! I have tried two different snack cakes provided to me from two parts of the globe.

    Coming from Taiwan, Choco Pie! from @fcgamer

    From Tennessee, USA, Moon Pie! from @darkchylde28

    Choco pie: soft marshmallow, soft crumbly biscuit, kinda a light coffee flavor from the vanilla?

    Moon pie: soft mallow, thicker cakey biscuit, kinda a light banana flavor

    They're pretty much the same thing but still very different.

    You forgot to specify that Moon Pie's are better.

  5. Back in 2016 my grandmothers home town of Gatlinburg TN was nearly destroyed by fires caused by a windstorm.  The wind picked up branches and threw them into transformers, which exploded and dropped onto dry leaves from a summer long drought.  
     

    I was a 911 operator at a time and we all watched the whole thing unfold from afar.  We sent firefighters down, about two hours away.  It was scary and sad.  
     

    I hope you guys stay safe.  😞

  6. License to talk about soap? Don’t mind if I do!


     I’ve been making some Valentines soaps.  The brown is Cherry Almond with goats milk.  The brown is caused by the vanillan in the fragrance.

    This one is Rose, the top is covered in dried rose buds, camomile petals and lavender buds.  It’s a method called Hand Milled, it gives it texture and makes it look rustic.

    High speed pinball (by rare!!), Golgol 13, blades of steel (Canadian copy, heck ya) and this very interesting mafia not for individual sale (which is right up my alley, mm strange Xbox variants), some delicious moon pies (gonna compare versus Choco pie from fcgamer!!) In the little bag rhap sent Mandy some handmade soap and lip balm that she sells online and at the farmers market, super thoughtful!!!

    Thank you guys so much!! I immediately cracked open some nes cart protectors and cleaned the pins buhuh we are just about to start playing some NES now. I have kinda been trying to snag up all the games that rare ltd has made, never played high speed pinball so that's going in first.

    Merry Christmas / happy holidays everyone!!!

    Edit: golgol 13 is frickin awesome!!

    He found that paper while he was out, but I'm sure he wouldn't have bought it if he was married so someone *normal*.  LOL
