Randomness Dos

[tifosi77]

My Twitter feeds had ads every five posts or so all weekend. I kept reporting them, and they are gone this morning. Very odd.

I've noticed in the last 6-8 weeks that the number of 'sponsored' posts I see on Facebook have gone through the roof. And they're often for things for which I have zero - or even negative - interest.

Mrs Tif told me about a workout device called Mirror, which is basically a fancy TV you mount portrait style on your wall and do fitness things with. I did a Google search for it and looked at their website, and then went on to Facebook and the very first post on my news feed was an ad for Mirror, the first such I had ever seen on Facebook. I do not like this.

TL;DR: Life is what you make of it; and I've made mine hard for a stretch here. I don't have the requisite joy in my demeanor to hang out here and be playfully angry about things, so I'm basically abstaining through necessity.

Have a good holiday season and hug the ones you love. I'll try to check in when I can and worst case I'll be back for the run to the playoffs.

Good to hear from you, boss, despite the particulars. We're all here for you, in our capacity.

Yeah, buddy. Bro-hug

A) Good to hear from you

B) Damn man, hang in there, you and your wife will get it all figured out in short order surely. I agree with the overtones of it, whenever I have a lot on my plate, I want to develop momentum by checking things off...so papers graded, promotion announcements, all that stuff that's just needing a result, I'd really want that stuff back to feel accomplished and have less on things on my "pending" plate...

Most importantly, best of luck to your wife. Really hoping it's nothing serious and then you get that off your mind and probably clear a lot of headspace, as I imagine that that is most taxing...

Good lookin' out, dodint. That amount of life substance would be enough to keep anyone from checking up on the minutia. Best of luck to you and the missus.

[dodint]

Thanks.

Other than the **** Cancer bit all of this is brought on by my own doing, so no need to feel compelled to offer consolation. I'm not holding myself out as some kind of charity case or anything. There are people out there with real problems that are due to no fault of there own that deserve recognition and sympathy.

Tony reached out to me on Facebook and mentioned there was some inquiry to my whereabouts so I thought I'd expound on it a little bit. I respect the discourse around here and acknowledge the members that make this place fun deserve better than radio silence.

Best of luck to you and the missus.

Welp, I was hoping it was just school stuff. Very sad to hear about the growth. Hopefully, it's good news Thursday.

@dodint, nice to hear from you man. Genuinely hope you pull through this tough time and get through, and that your wife is healthy. I look at this board as a big dysfunctional family that ultimately all wants the best for each other. You and your wife will be in my thoughts and I will say a prayer for her.

Is it too much to ask to have my Twitter feed be in chronological order and only show tweets of those that I follow? I don't want to see tweets of people that I follow follow, but I don't. If I wanted to seem them, I'd follow them

Open your twitter app - in the top right is a couple diamonds, similar to the steelers logo. Click it, and select display in chronological order

I take back half the bad things I've said about you

<3

Best of luck to you and the missus.

Fourthed, dodint. I’ll let you decide which word I typed out there.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

also, just remember that there is a mere 13 days until the winter solstice.

[willeyeam]

roughly 69 days until pitchers and catchers report

Hope all is well @dodint

As someone who suffers from panic attacks and pretty severe anxiety, I feel what you're going through. I sincerely hope that everything works out for you.

[Freddy Rumsen]

Good vibes Dodint.

Opinion: If you run to the news every time your Ring doorbell camera shows a delivery driver slighted you, you're a terrible person.

Also: FedEx, dude, everyone has ring doorbell cameras.

Who are these mooks on the price is right. First person $901! Second person $800! Third person $825! Final person $1100!

Hey dummy last person you either go $1 over the highest bid or below the lowest bid. If everyone overbid say 1$. Not this goofy horseshit
