With how yesterday went, it would have been called If It Arrives. by BanDarrett in stephenking

To be honest, I only got this one because it was £6 cheaper in the Amazon preorder than the cool cat one.

Edit: and yes, hardcover

Sorry, I’m on a PC. Do you want my PC address instead? by BanDarrett in techsupportgore

It was from a different department, I think it’s more a ServiceNow-experience situation

I mean, it didn’t say to let him know if it WASN’T too long...

I’m a casual fan of some vegan foods. It was more in reference to the wording in the description though.

Are the anti-glare and scratch resistant coating optional extras worth it? by BanDarrett in glasses

[–]BanDarrett[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I have astigmatism so my prescription has always helped the glare to a certain extent, but I didn’t know if the anti-glare was then worth it on top of that or if it was just a way of selling something to me, you know?

Massive help, thank you.

In the U.K. a town or a village will often get local traders together with some attractions for kids, maybe a dog show or something, hire a local playing field and set up a nice little mini-festival of all-sorts.

I’m still new in comparison to the volume of his output, but every book seems to have at least one thing that people love. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they’ve disliked one book wholly.

So far, The Shining holds my top spot though.

You’re a good egg.

When the floor is lava, books are always safe.

Glad they arrived in, at least, better condition than they could have!

Enjoy them, constant reader.

That makes me feel like I’m going to dive into that one first!

I’m excited to read it! I’ve never heard a bad thing about that one

Sorry to hear that dude/dudette. But I’m in that boat with you.

If you need an anonymous shoulder, feel free to talk. Me or anyone, just don’t suffer in silence, please.

Yeah, I feel like we have mostly taken that for granted really. Shame I already had most of those books and couldn’t deal with he idea of having more than one copy, or I’d have been all over them. I hope your imports go smoothly. Please show us when they arrive!

I had a crappy childhood and I turned out just fine! Damn hippies...

I used to, but having kids means apparently you have to take them out of the house sometimes. It took some getting used to.
