"It's not easy to juggle a pregnant wife and a troubled child, but somehow I managed to fit in eight hours of TV a day."

Just got hit with a $1,512 back tax bill for my PayPal Sales in 2019.  Going to try to dispute it with the "Yard Sale" clause.  About done with Ebay going to try to stay off the radar going forward.

"I was just casually browsing page 158 of the Buy, Sell, & Trade forum (like everyone does!) and just HAPPENED to scroll past 17 posts from 2008 and was wondering if you still had this for sale?"

Re organizing my loose cart homebrews and hacks and figured I'd take some pics. 

If video games have taught me anything it is this - if I were at war and had a machine gun and someone aimed a pea shooter at me I would be the one to die.

Looks like I'm not getting that famous cash everybody has been talking about.

Anyone who wonders what PacMan is doing when not gobbling through mazes? 
He goes shopping!

I just realized that for 9 months, I have blocked myself from seeing my own avatar. (but I'm still seeing everyone else's)

I requested an invoice for a purchase I made on eBay. I got a message saying I needed to do the invoice. I thought it was the seller that did the invoice. What's going on here? Help!

The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 35 years ago today. I was one of the kids watching it live on TV. I was nine years old.

iCloud is a nuisance and a scam.  It is constantly pestering my wife to pay for more storage when i have deleted all content and un-synced it from her photos on iphone multiple times.  Apple drives me nuts. 

I really wish that the American public would figure out that it's not a tax refund, it's an interest-free loan to the government being returned.

finished my taxes, absolutely tiny refunds from both state and fed, mission accomplished, I minimized the excess income withheld in taxes.

Packing things up to prepare to move back to Korea after 2.5 years of living in SoCal. I'm leaving unpacked the bare minimum I need to finish my projects(my Apple //e, PET, VIC-20, and C128). Quite shocking how much crap I managed to amass in 2 years, in a somewhat bad way.

I tried to get rid of a lot of stuff I had like my non working TRS-80 Model 100, Commodore 1902a monitor, and Compaq LTE 5250, but sadly no one's taking it so I'm throwing out the 1902a and keeping the laptops for future use since they're small.

Meanwhile, although it's quite big and heavy, I'm keeping my parts 1541 drive for a sleeper PC build, or an RPi project. It's got an unpopulated motherboard and a broken drive mechanism so it's useless but it's in pretty great shape and looks like it might fit a Nano ATX motherboard and power supply inside of it.

Anyways, farewell, United States of America.

What Atari VCS/2600 game do you never get sick of playing?  I could play Dig Dug daily for the rest of my life and never tire of it. 

We had to call 911 yesterday afternoon for my stepfather (found out fluid was collecting around his lungs). The hospital called my sister some time after 4 A.M. today. They said that his heart stopped and she should go to the hospital. I'm assuming that means he died. We'll probably have to move soon since there's no way we can afford to rent the house we're living in without the money he's been receiving every month.

You bet 10 million on 6? That's a big number!

Opened the cooler this morning to grab a cherry Coke. When I opened the bottle, I realized something was wrong. Looked at the label; it's a cinnamon Coke. 

My wife has been just discharged from hospital with a terminally ill prognosis for her lung cancer. 😪 Feeling bad.

How is it that I keep getting older and uglier, and my Wife keeps getting older and prettier?

I suppose there's worse problems to have, but still, pisses me right off.

Apparently this is what AA used to look like in 2004, at least, according to the Wayback Machine.
