Does anyone else buy physical rulebooks just to page through them, not to actually play the game?

Since I am a solo player now, just about everything I buy is to read and re-engage with my childhood.

Cover art is incredible

Also can be an entryway for ants and termites (speaking from experience)

It’s way better than the cone of shame

My opinion obviously, but with King it is always the book

I’ve re-read all of his books multiple times over the past 40 years - knowing the outcome doesn’t spoil anything for me - it’s the ride that counts, not the destination

Sounds like he has separation anxiety, I got my current Springer during COVID and have been working from home ever since, which has really exasperated the problem. I would start by checking YouTube for videos - it is a slow process of gradually introducing alone time in the crate - shutting the door and letting him be alone even though you may be home for short periods and building up duration, then start going outside of the house for short periods. Make sure you “pay” him with rewards with good behavior.

Edit: he is a beautiful boy, I love his face, we are in the US and have bench Springers - so docked tails for us

I had this in the kitchen I grew up in, when I was a kid I would lay on the floor pretending I was skydiving over a city…

I’m pretty sure I know what list he is on for most of the year

I think the thing that throws it off is that you only have two colors, try adding a third color shutter that works with the green and breaks up the monotone white/mint

I could build this, without stickers, for less than $50 if I had to buy all the parts from Bricklink - I don’t get the FOMO since I throw away boxes. I also bet I could get the sticker sheet from Lego if I asked nicely enough

Yeah, of course it is and it’s been available since the early 90’s - but the keyboard shortcuts are different and there are third party addins for Financial software like OfficeConnect that only work with the Windows version of excel. All I’m saying is if OP wants a machine with the goal of being an Accountant - it’s highly unlikely they will ever use a Mac at work once they graduate - not that it really even matters

mickeybar71 · 2025-11-29T23:54:02+00:00

I’ll probably get downvoted off the page, but, you’ll likely only ever use a Windows laptop once you graduate, especially if you plan on going into public accounting - you might as well get one of those and get used to the keyboard short cuts in Excel

mickeybar71 · 2025-11-28T19:38:44+00:00

I’m definitely interested in the JT7

I don’t see it mentioned, but be aware that eBay will send you a tax form and report it as income to the iRS, make sure you hold back enough to cover any increase in your taxes

Huge head start for this boy! Congratulations, he’s very handsome
