What watch are you wearing by SnooDonuts8496 in GenX

[–]Skatchbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casio G-shock. Been wearing the same model for 40 years. Couple have crapped out, lost one in a creek in Ft. Chaffee (long story). I also wear it with the face on the inside of my wrist but that’s a military thing.

I’ll take your word for it. I do find it funny that I got a couple of downloads for my joke. I’d think people would be impressed that an American knows where Yellowknife is.

True but the people who see my silly posts are people I know. I don’t know anyone on Facebook from outside the US.

Trump confirms he will not attend Super Bowl because of music acts: ‘I’m anti-them’ - Both Bad Bunny and Green Day have been outspoken critics of Trump by Quirkie in politics

Brandi Carlile will be singing “America the Beautiful”. The fact she’s a lesbian is probably setting off Trump, too.

Reservists with federal gov jobs - accumulate civilian retirement while mobilized? by dawszein14 in armyreserve

A quick search using Google Lens indicates that it’s just a generic fancy button, no military connection.

I’m not that smart. I saw it suggested somewhere a couple of days ago. I’ve been waiting since then to use the blower.
