A watch update that I can't decipher. I just want to know, is replacing the battery and glass a $100 bill or $600?

Man now it says cancelled and being shipped back? You mean to tell me they can't even change the battery in it?

That better be a typo or I'm coming unglued

Still no status change. Gay

Going to calc and file my taxes for last year. How many tractors should I claim I bought??

Didn't you buy the tractor this year?

For this year since I'm unemployed and will probably have very little income, it would make more sense to claim it for last year where my income, and potential tax break, would be greater.
And besides, it was a small farm supply business, the receipt is just scribbled notes anyway.

Just now getting around to the tax stuff. Spent most of the evening watching gore videos

Lets see how bad their estimate is this year around

Wife running some errands so took the time to clear out my secret pill cabinet of empty bottles. She doesn't like my habits so instead of discussion I just hide it

Ok, UPS dropped the watch off. And yes, they just mailed it back with an invoice of $0 saying no parts Although there was a 20% off coupon for a new purchase. But can't be combined with other discounts and the watches on their website are typical already "on sale" for 20% off

Please post more pictures of you working with your tractor instead, in order to show that you are still a man.

Going to spray the fence line, is that bad enough for you?

Bla, gave up on messing with my old watch. Just going to by a new model. Want one that is radio controlled like my wall clocks. Seems once you go radio control, having to ever manually set a watch is an extreme annoyance

That's a perfect watch to feed the autism. Who the hell makes watches like that, in a day with heaps of technology.

That's a perfect watch to feed the autism. Who the hell makes watches like that, in a day with heaps of technology.

There's quite a bit of "tech" in their watches. Their first radio model in 1993 wasn't so hot:

But their antennas improved over time:

The other interesting thing, in a normal clock/watch, all of the hands, minute, hour, second, etc and geared together. For a radio controlled clock, this would not work. Obviously since it can set it self, a motor is involved. Special stepper motors that can be commanded to an exact position. And for speed's sake, there are normally two. Looks like there is a separate motor on the hour hand and one for a combined minute and second had. How they fit those in a watch, I have no idea. Kind of want to take it apart and look

You should take your wife on a date and talk about these things with her.

I'd rather get her on the bed and see what makes her tick.

My daughter finished the Harry Potter bookset a couple of months ago and has been whining about needing more stuff to read. Not sure what to get. I found the "Alice" series which weights in at over 4000 pages. But reviews warned of the sexual nature in many of the books. Curious, and not wanting to waste my money, I grabbed some bootleg copies.

In one chapter

Even Elizabeth laughed. We gathered at the front of the room and gaped at the drawings. Every boy had a penis, of course, and no two penises were exactly alike. Some were long and thin, some were short and thick. Small and thick, long and thick, circumcised, uncircumcised, big testicles, small testicles … Some of the boys had no hair on their bodies at all, and some had hair all over their backs and abdomens. Some of the boys, in fact, had puffy breasts that almost looked like a girl’s. Skinny legs, thick legs, bowlegs, short legs … I don’t think any of us realized that boys were so different under their jeans.

“Now,” said the nurse. Smiling mysteriously, she went over to the door and pulled down the shade. “Are you ready?”

We looked at her uneasily. She went to the front of the room and unfastened the long poster of the naked boys, and this time we began to squirm and shriek, because there, underneath, was a long poster of naked girls, front and back. Not just naked, either. Some were bending over, some were sitting with their legs apart, some were standing.

Elizabeth, her face red with embarrassment, half rose from her seat as though to leave the room, but the nurse, laughing, stopped her.

“Right now,” she said, “I think all of us are squirming a bit. In a way, we’d all like to leave this room, because these are parts of female bodies you just don’t see without making a special effort. From the time they are babies, boys can examine themselves and look at each other and see immediately what they’ve got. But did you know, girls, that some women get married, have babies, and become grandmothers, even, and they never know what they really look like down there?”

and the next chapter:

Just as Dad had said, there was an oval mirror with a blue handle beneath his pajamas in the bottom drawer. I carefully lifted it out and studied the white flowers painted on the back. I smiled to myself, wondering if Mom had ever used the mirror for self-inspection.

I went back in my bedroom and locked the door. I couldn’t help laughing, though, because it still seemed a little embarrassing, even though I was the only one there. I peeled off my jeans and underpants, then lay back on the bed with the mirror propped between my knees, and a couple of pillows under my head.

It took a little adjusting and probing to see anything, but sure enough, there was my labia majora and, peeking out from between the lips, the labia minora. I pulled the lips apart and found the little pea-sized clitoris, so sensitive I could hardly touch it. I found my vagina all right, and maybe the hymen, and of course I recognized my anus, though I’m sure I never saw it before. What a weird feeling to think you were being introduced to parts of yourself you’d had for fourteen years and never yet laid eyes on. The urethra was the most difficult of all to find, but I think I even got that straight. The big surprise, though, was a light brown irregular shaped birthmark on my skin just to the left of my vulva.

Well, I said to my privates, Nice to meet you. I laughed again and thought how the nurse would have smiled, too, if she were here. I’ll bet Pamela had already studied herself, inside and out. Elizabeth? I don’t think so, but sometimes she’ll surprise you.

I dressed, put the mirror back in Dad’s drawer, and went downstairs. Dad and Lester had decided to make pesto sauce, and Les was heating the water to boil pasta. Neither of them looked at me when I came in and sat on the edge of the table, and I could swear I saw them blush.

“I just discovered the most amazing thing,” I said.

“You’re a hermaphrodite?” said Lester.

“What?”

“Half male, half female?”

“There are such people?” I asked, astonished.

“Sometimes nature makes a mistake, Al, but surgery can do wonderful things now,” Dad told me. “So what did you discover about yourself?”

“I just discovered a birthmark I didn’t know I had.”

He was blushing a little. I had actually made my father blush. “Uh-huh,” he said, and went on stirring.

“It’s right beside my vulva on the left,” I announced.

“Will you stop?” said Lester.

But Dad said, “Sort of a butterfly shape?”

Now I was blushing. “How did you know?”

In another book, she accompanies her friend to the doctor due to a "wet smelly itch" down there.

And in another, she is trying to covertly ask her dad how sex happens, like how far the penis goes in, how long does it need to stay in there, etc.

That does seem a bit much for the pre-teen section

Back to the drawing board
