So we've finally been watching Breaking Bad the past few weeks. Started earlier this spring but then evenings got busy with projects and now back into it. Though it often takes about 90 minutes to watch a 47 minute episode, lol.

I have an uncle with a sun allergy. I think it has gotten worse over the years since he was outside everyday as a farmer and didn’t has too many issues until recently.

Im 25 god damn years old and just learnes that a routing number is specific to the bank, not my account. Could have said a couple days and a little embareasment if I knew that. #ThanksMomAndDad

My 13yr old just learned that yesterday as she opened her first checking account. We got her all set up with a debit card, go to the teller and made her first deposit. The teller was writing down the cash and checks and finished the transaction. We were walking out and I told my daughter that didn’t seem right. She had totaled $305 in cash and $50 in checks. Daughter had two $100, a $50 and at least $100 in 20’s so something didn’t seem right. I go back to the teller and she had missed one of the $100 bills. Not a great first transaction for a new account holder if they are going to short you money every time.

Hubby and I started watching it together. One of those shows that you can only watch with no children over the age of two around, so very limited in our viewing time. Hubby ended up downloading seasons on his Surface and would watch one a night without me. So he has seen the entire show. I have seen the first season and enough random episodes (he will watch when there are marathons on TV) to know most of what is going on.

On a side note, Aaron Paul has the most adorable baby girl named Story.

Reviewing the prior evening mix-o-drinks explains the slight hangover this morning. Pants met a friend of mine who I'll just call HP for "heavy pour" who was living up to her moniker.

Think you are a little late, supposed to have started your student partying at 8:01 a.m. :rolleyes:

I don't remember anyone but ROTC guys being up that early on a Saturday when I was in school.

Is it campus wide, or just a frat/sorority thing?

My monitors collapsed last night. I have a triple monitor stand so they all look like they "float". After 3 years of it being attached to a ****** $20 ikea desk, the particle board gave way and broke apart. I can't believe I didn't wake up.

Setup kinda looks like this for the visual learners:

Looks like I am gonna need a new desk this weekend or next. Been looking at making a L-Shaped Butcher Block desk for a while and I guess this will be the catalyst for that. Might even rearrange my whole bedroom/office

Are you a professional gamer? Why the need for three monitors?

Whenever I am working from home, I am usually remotely connected into the customer environment, have a conference call going with potential screensharing, email going constantly, sometimes skype messages flowing, and I still need room for CF.

I am way less productive with only 1 monitor. I need two minimum. I don't always need 3 but when I do, it is worth it. But I do use all 3 when I power up the flight simulator :D.
