Since we have a pretty popular "Complaint Thread", I thought it might be a good idea to start an "I Love It! Thread".

 

I'd like to begin with:

 

I love it when I make a big $500 or more purchase because of a sale or great deal and shortly afterward make enough back in sales to cover the costs and then some.

 

It helps with the buyer's guilt.

Isn't today just a glorious day? I Love It!

Been waiting 4 years I ❤️ PA

Can we stop any and all vague references to politics? First the tan-color comments, then the jabs at blood-drinking candidates, now other references. Let's just keep this totally politics free - no US Election, no Brexit, no Polish womens-rights marches, just LEGO (and related topics).

THANKS.

I'm going to watch "The Mandalorian", so you guys keep it clean.

I'm enjoying my day. I will continue to enjoy my day.

exciter1 has spoken!

The LEGO deals this morning (and from last night) made me forget my morning plans and now I have to play catch up for the rest of the day....

Almost feel like a normal November day again...

except that it is summer weather outside..

I can't decide if this post belongs here or on the complaint thread

This is my one respite from politics. Even my podcasts (none of which are political in nature) have seen it seep in.

Today I’m cleaning up this thread. And I’ll be zero tolerance on it. This is a joyful place. Not a place to talk politics or poke jabs.

Almond Croissants.  Who would have known that a nut that isn't sweet would have such delicious tasting croissants!!! It is mind blowing. SOO YUMMY!

 

Also, the color of the leaves in the Midwest in Fall.

My must-listens are Revisionist History and Planet Money.

If you like those two, you should try Cautionary Tales.  Also a Pushkin podcast.

 

CBS Fantasy Football Podcast (and baseball too!) My must-listens...  Also for you wrestling fans, Post Wrestling Podcast is a good one!!

My tastes run a bit nerdy, so be warned...

Doctor Who: Radio Free Skaro - weekly pod with current episode reviews, news, episode reviews from the past, interviews. All things Who. https://pca.st/podcast/8e5389c0-2883-012e-072b-00163e1b201c

Doctor Who: The Missing Episodes Podcast - did you know that there are 97 episodes of Doctor Who from the 1960s that are missing? Official archives wiped the episodes in the 70s. This show goes episode by episode, and not just looks at the episode itself, but the historical context of what happened. - why and when it was wiped - as well as discusses leads and speculation on whether the episodes still exist somewhere (yes, other episodes thought gone have been recovered over the years). Fascinating look into the history of television. https://pca.st/podcast/5e87ae50-6813-0138-a0e1-0acc26574db2

Darknet Dairies - Explore true stores of the dark side of the Internet. Hacking, data breaches, cyber crime, penetration testing. Fascinating stuff. Extremely accessible, and the host is a fantastic storyteller. Great production value. I’d recommend the recent episode on the hacking of the 2018 Winter Olympics, or the 2 parter on XBox hacking. Fun fun stuff!

Fire and Water Network - a bunch of different podcasts, mostly centered on DC Comics.

The Well - co-hosted by Anson Mount, who was recently on TV as Captain Pike on Star Trek: Discovery. This is not a Star Trek podcast. This is a podcast about life, along with some really interesting stories about Hollywood. Very conversational. https://pca.st/podcast/da478e40-76fe-0135-9036-63f4b61a9224

Aldi Choceur Peanut Butter Cups. So effin good.

KMart in-store Christmas music loop from 1974 https://archive.org/details/KmartDecember1974ReelToReel

The in store announcements are the best part.

Anson Mount is the second coolest name for an actor, right below Powers Boothe (RIP)

Dude seems like a genuine good guy too. His stories and insights are pretty fascinating. And I’m not a celebrity follower. But I do enjoy good story telling and the ability to be a normal human being.

In the last day or two - It appears that Christmas shopping has begun.

Hell on Wheels was a darn good show. I have like 5 episodes left in the series.

The joy of getting to watch Mandalorian season 1 for the first time. Watched first four then first four again because that's my style. So far they got something good going 😎 Obviously has been received well by the masses.

After 3 hours of F5 battles (won 2, lost 1), I can go back to my normally scheduled Saturday morning
