Not A website, but in the early modem days there used to be these things called web rings. When you were done going through one site (usually just a few short pages or a short story kind of deal back then), you clicked the 'next' button and it brought you to another random, related (usually) website. My favorite web ring was the Star Wars ring. Learned a lot of expanded universe stuff, and random fan fiction. There was one site it brought me to that told me how to use the force...still trying to make my beer come to my hand :-)

My dad paid off his mortgage and owned his vehicles outright. He had been that way for about 10 or 12 years when he tried to buy a small cabin. Even though his finances said he could buy it outright, he tried to get a small mortgage....the banks REFUSED to give him a mortgage. They said he basically didn't have a credit history. Its all made up bull excrement that screws with peoples lives for the fun of it.

The size of the meal you get a restaurant and how cheap it is. I knew it was big and cheap, just forgot to what degree.

I used Xmind for years and absolutely loved it. Its been a few years since I used it, so not sure what its like anymore. The paid version is significantly better than the free version.

Over the last few years I did some stretches of a lot of 90's and early 2000's sitcoms.

In regards to the ones I now cant stand: Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens tops my list. I adored those shows growing up, now I wouldnt watch bored flicking through the channels.

Was very surprised how much I ended up loving some I hated growing up. Seinfield, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Frasier, just to name a few.

I spent hours on the Star Wars webring. Practiced jedi meditation, was convinced I could move stuff with my mind, and learned all about Kashyyyk.

Frost River. They can be a bit heavy, but are lifers. They typically make portaging packs, but their daily bags are made just as durable.

I checked out the Castle book so much the librarian practically had it ready for me as I walked throttle door.
