Anyone buy anything for Prime Day?

by **joey con carne** 10/14/2020, 7:05 pm

I didn't buy anything. I bought two compression shirts last week and they were cheaper then than they are on Prime Day. What a rip.

I also got two Echo Dots before Prime Day for $20 each. Then they sell for $18.99 each on Prime Day. Sad

Is there anyone who can tell me who this is?

She appears in the first five seconds of this video:

I saw this and remember she was pretty prominent back in the day. I forget her name. I'd love to see what she is like now or where her career went. I remember nothing about her but I remember that face now after seeing it.

Yeah Joey, of course I recognized her right away, that's 90's babe Nikki Cox.

You might remember Nikki from 90's sitcom Unhappily Ever After where she was a redheaded Kelly Bundy or NBC's Las Vegas or from her unbelievable marriage to Bobcat Goldthwait of the Police Academy movies.

Unfortunately in the years since, Nikki turned to plastic surgery and ruined her once stunning looks. She had major duck lips and her face looked savaged by butcher doctors. You can look up those pics but I'd prefer not to post em here when I can show her in her glory days instead.

Thank you! I had to google her new look and I will say it’s a mixed bag. Some pics have her looking pretty jacked up and some others are not too terrible. She was such a babe back in the day. And she is only a few years older than us.

Her IMDb shows she has not had any acting roles since 2011. I wonder what she’s been doing since then.

Where is the first picture from? Looks like she is wearing a leopard print bikini. Very nice.

I believe the bikini pics from the top and bottom were from episodes of Las Vegas but it's been forever since I saw the show and I don't believe it's ever been on streaming, despite the fact that it was a big hit for NBC and it starred James Caan.

You're absolutely right Joey. That's stupid! I'm not a shoe guy at all. Jordans or Adidas, it's all the same to me. Also, I don't like how the article refers to twitter for reactions on this. Could be a bunch of kids complaining and I don't think they deserve attention.

by Tyger 10/16/2020, 4:52 pm

I get the outrage, but I’m a tiny bit of a sneaker head. The Jordan 1 is an iconic shoe and the breds that Miles wears in ITSV are now synonymous with the character. I don’t think there would’ve been any backlash if they have him generic video game shoes, but if you’re gonna have real life shoes, it’s odd to change them.

Mitch was my favorite heroin addict/comedian of the early 2000's. He taught me about simple observation humor like when escalators become stairs or life lessons like how I should just throw a baked potato into the oven even when I'm not hungry because by the time it's done, I might be.

And I'll also never forget how as Frank on That 70's Show, he did not lose a leg in Vietnam just so he could serve hot dogs to teenagers.

So far, I haven’t gone on any auditions yet. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with the coronar. I might take a look at a few scripts but so far I think I’ll just enjoy the downtime.

by **joey con carne** 10/20/2020, 10:31 am

Alright, my mortgage refinance has been final approved. Now I gotta wait for the loan discourse outlining the costs as well as the lawyers from the bank to schedule a closing date. Going from an interest rate of 3.625% @ 30 years to 2.375% @ 15 years. Hell yea

Will try to be as aggressive as I can and pay off this loan as fast as I can. Interest rates in banks is pretty low now and I haven't got many investments anyway. Will focus on that once I'm not longer chased by the monthly mortgage payment anymore. If I only have $1,000 a month for property tax to worry about, my life will be much more stress-free.

Yea. My property taxes are about $12,000 a year. That’s because my school district is good. Gotta have good school districts for da kidz, bro! Future-proofing myself.

There are some towns with even higher taxes. One of my friends pays $23,000 a year in property tax because her school district is really good.

My mom’s CPA used to livenin Great Neck. His property taxes was about $37,000 a year.

Texas' population will soon hit California's level of non-sustainability. Everyone coming from a blue state that has been fucked over by Dems is heading to Texas. Only problem is, once they get there, they try and change it. Austin is essentially California-South.

Californians are bailing out and heading there. They've ignored and fucked up their own State for decades, and are now jumping ship.

I've passed through and I'm okay with it. For $400k you can get a legit four or five bedroom house and property taxes are only like $8,000. In NY, that would be like a million and 20k in property tax. I'm thinking either Plano or Frisco. Both are about 20 minutes away from downtown Dallas. I can dig that.

I've got a few friends who want to go there as well so I wouldn't be alone LOL. We all hate New York and can't wait to GTFO. This state is going to shit. We currently have a $30 billion dollar deficit due to shitty management and I can just feel my taxes are going to go up now. A lot of the rich are leaving NYC (or already left during the pandemic and are not coming back because they realize they can pay less in taxes everywhere else). There is so much inventory in Manhattan now and no one wants to come back. So who's shoulder will this fall on? The middle to upper middle class. Me. I'm going to get fucked soon and I don't like it.

Jeff Bridges Announces Lymphoma Diagnosis

METOO - Random Thoughts - Page 10 Jeff-b10

Actor Jeff Bridges announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma.

He started his post off with a reference to “The Big Lebowski,” writing: “As the Dude would say… New sh– has come to light.”

“I have been diagnosed with lymphoma. Although it is a serious disease, I feel fortunate that I have a great team of doctors and the prognosis is good,” Bridges continued. “I’m starting treatment and will keep you posted on my recovery.”

In a second tweet to the same thread, Bridges thanked his supporters and encouraged them to vote in the upcoming presidential election, linking to the website Vote.org.

“I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes,” Bridges tweeted. “And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together.”

I’m profoundly grateful for the love and support from my family and friends.

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. And, while I have you, please remember to go vote. Because we are all in this together. https://t.co/6sAU4MYixl

Love, Jeff

— Jeff Bridges (@TheJeffBridges) October 20, 2020

“Our thoughts go out to Jeff and his family during this challenging time and they have our love and support. We wish him a safe and full recovery,” FX, Touchstone Television, Hulu and FXP said in a statement. “And, as Jeff always says, ‘We are all in this together.’ Jeff, we are all in this together with you.”

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is the body’s network that fights off diseases. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Though Bridges did not specify which kind of lymphoma he had been diagnosed with, there are two main types: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Lymphoma treatment usually involves chemotherapy, various medications, radiation therapy and, in rare cases, can require a stem cell transplant.

Bridges most recently appeared in “Bad Times at the El Royale” in 2018 and is currently in production for the TV miniseries “The Old Man.” Bridges has been nominated for a total of seven Academy Awards throughout his illustrious career, winning one for “Crazy Heart” in 2010.

To be fair, whilst Cali gets some hate, most of it is usually directed at LA. Most other counties seem to be favourable. Although San Diego's traffic is widely loathed Very Happy

So last night at 10PM right as I was about to open the door and get in the house, right under me was the thing I hate the most in this planet......A FUCKING SNAKE! It's the same looking snake that I showed you guys from last year too. I was right on top of it unlocking the door when my brother tells me to move slowly while he's 10ft behind me, without looking at it first I slowly move away and then I see it. I could have just as easily stepped on it. It's head was so small though so it's most likely non venomous. My uncle has a long metal pipe and we just smashed it's head decapitating it. Body still was moving after that. These snakes have been spotted once a year for the past 3 years now and I hope it's just the one snake making it's annual cameo. lol Guess I'll find out next year. Anyway, that's the story of me almost dying last night.....by a non venomous snake. Embarassed

by **joey con carne** 10/22/2020, 5:53 pm

Why did you kill it? They are harmless. In fact, they help by catching and eating mice and other pests. Just get a stick next time and shoo it away. They will go fast. They fear us more than we fear them.

Well, I was going to pick it up and throw it to the grass but my uncle already went and grabbed the metal pipe to take care of it. lol And my mom would never be comfortable that it was still roaming around the house anyway. And who is to say it's not venomous, I'm no expert.

So your family sees a snake and your first instincts are all "kill it before it multiplies!!"?
