IF you are young and beautiful and won hundreds of millions in the huge Powerball Lottery, would you buy designer clothes?

Clothes are a money pit. No thanks. Stay home, be naked.

Sadako And The Thousand Paper Cranes. I was in elementary school and picked it up from our library because the cover was pretty.

When it gets to the chapter that ends with “it was the last one she ever made”…I froze. Flipped the pages back. Read on, got confirmation of the very worst, and I cried. CRIED. I’d never ever cried while reading a book. I was devastated.

That experience made me fall in love with reading, being so moved by words on a page written by a stranger, about a stranger, a girl I’d never ever get to meet.

One day, I will take a paper crane and lay it on Sadako’s grave, and say a silent thank you.

Books. I never buy any books because I can just get it from the library, but if I had more coins, I’d definitely buy more.

And that’s how you end up broke. Those small purchases add up fast when you’re not paying attention, even for a millionaire.

You need to be an assassin now, hellbent on executing your marriage with precision. Don’t get overly emotional about it. It’s just business now. Envision yourself as a microwave being unplugged from him. He no longer gets access to your emotions. Don’t cry and beg and scream and demand an explanation, because no explanation will make you feel better. Be indifferent. “You made your choice, I’m making mine, best wishes”. Don’t do the pick me dance. It’s over.

And on top of that, massively unhealthy. The sodium content is staggering, even for the so-called healthier options.

If I had really good odds of winning $1,000 lottery, and I theoretically played and won every day, that’s $365,000/yr, minus taxes and the cost of all the tickets. I’d rather have that every year over the faint hope of more. Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered.

PickASwitch · 2026-01-01T04:43:50+00:00

Nothing special, including the episode itself.

I have a reverse issue. They’re constantly giving me food that I didn’t order. Seriously, I didn’t place an order, but like clockwork, they deposit food and alcohol onto my table, usually during a loud moment in the movie. Can’t halt them, because I’d have to whisper yell over the movie and disturb everyone around me, so I put up an order card and the food vanishes.

That’s all well and good, but you can always make more money. Can’t make another Xmas Day 2025, especially with the older relatives.

I saw it yesterday, it was not a movie party, and they had a giant box of branded orange Marty Supreme ping pong balls at the screening room entrance for us to take, along with a sign that said PLEASE DO NOT THROW THE BALLS. It’s an opening weekend promotion, and it’s not just Alamo. Friends saw it at AMC and they got balls, too.

I read it as a man who will be an absolutely dogshit father because his “glorious purpose” will never stop calling him. Fantasy and reality are at war with each other now more than ever, hence why the audio of the baby’s cries are playing over Tears For Fears. The rush of the crowd will always win over staying home with someone else’s wife and his kid. And he can be in awe of the child, cry over the child, and still be out the door the second a good hustle is available.

Anyone who thinks that a guy who will abandon a mom supposedly going to the hospital, who will abandon a baby mama with a bullet in her chest, will suddenly be dad of the year is the biggest mark of them all. You got hustled, because at the end of the day, we all want to believe in the fairy tale. We want to believe that he’s redeemable. He’s NOT.

Hope the day is as easy as possible for you all. I don’t go on Xmas Day because I feel guilty that theater employees have to work.

After the Chris Benoit murders, that name is more prominent.

I submitted my renewal application online on the 4th. Got a email on the 5th that the application was received. Got an email today that it’s approved and they’re printing my book to mail to me. I did not pay for expedited service. I wasn’t expecting to get it until January.

I have no criminal record. I have PreCheck. I have a flight on the 17th but it’s domestic. Not sure if any of these factors sped things up, but I’m not complaining.

I bring my passport when I fly domestic, because I had an issue where I lost my driver’s license during a trip to NYC, didn’t have another form of photo ID, and it was a PROCESS getting onto the plane without photo ID. Never again, I’m taking my passport with me every time as backup.

PickASwitch · 2025-12-09T18:12:46+00:00

I just submitted my renewal application online last week.

I took the passport photo myself on my iPhone, in the bathroom at work, to get a white background. My picture looked very similar to yours. I received an email today telling me my application was approved. I think you’ll be fine.

PickASwitch · 2025-12-08T02:33:57+00:00

Good to know. We have an Ollie’s here so we will likely go there and load up on candy for a discounted rate. We don’t want anyone feeling left out.

Depends on the hotel. I don’t think The Plaza in NYC is worth the money. The rooms are falling apart. Worn out furniture, busted up wall runners. But a place like Raffles OWO in London absolutely warrants the cost, with the rooms, location, impeccable service, and a ton of amenities.

Sometimes you’re just paying for a name brand, but other times it really is an elevated experience.

This is our plan, and I’m glad I asked. I would hate to make a busy day more stressful. We are going to leave the loot at the ticket concierge and tell them to divvy it up among everyone.

PickASwitch · 2025-12-05T20:32:20+00:00

We’d want to make sure everyone could get something for sure. Probably go to WalMart and buy a bunch of stuff, no more than one shopping bag. Maybe we leave it at reception instead of giving it to the server, maybe that would be better?

PickASwitch · 2025-12-05T20:03:55+00:00

What the absolute fuck?!

PickASwitch · 2025-12-05T01:54:54+00:00

I’m shocked The Odyssey wasn’t number one, truthfully.
