I have not yet found where to turn off this annoying HP nagware. Anyone know where it lives? You’ll note that the two options are Bug me to death later. Activate the trial that you don’t want. Seriously HP and Norton, can’t you just get the hint? I am fine with losing all my data.… Read more HP Nagware (DO NOT WANT)
No matter what risk to passengers, Unions Must Be STOPPED!

I’ve now completed Borderlands 5 times. Twice with the Hunter character and twice with the Siren. And I completed the Isle of Dr. Ned too. I have resisted the urge to get MW2 for one simple reason: I’m not thrilled about the story line. The first MW was gritty and depressing but it played well.… Read more Life after Borderlands
Sometime you do find fun things on Reddit. Yesterday was fun as the family did the Christmas day trip to my brother’s house. We had a great time but I’m coming down with a serious nose cold. I think I only got two hours of sleep last night. Good thing I’m off all next week,… Read more 1:10 scale Saturn V liftoff

I put the tree up last week but only today did the family put on the bulbs and tinsel. This year we could not find the glass spire for the star so we used one that we had that lights up. It looks good and I’m very satisfied with it.
It’s nice when you get confirmation of a decision. My old PC refused to boot up when I turned it on this morning. Which is a shame since I downloaded and was almost finished playing the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. Like other DLC it’s a quick play and I am almost finished. Except for… Read more Who’s Ned?
