It's effective in the office too.

I just bought 3 carpenter bee traps. The old dude who made them and sold them to me said that the trick is to swat a bee out of the air and put it in the jar as a starter. As it dies and decomposes into whatever bees decompose into, they release a scent that attracts other bees. Then when you empty the full jar, just leave one dead one in there. So there you go: save the decks and porches!

$110+ left my wallet a few minutes ago, for mundane stuff, like yogurt, canned goods, ant poison, and a basket full of stuff the lady thought we "just have to have"

I always like novelty cigarette lighters.

Saved $10 vs purchasing direct from Samsung & used the Samsung Pay promo to pay for $30 of the total purchase price:

I went to a fire dept dance Saturday night, they had a silent auction & I won the bid on a brand new Roku 4 for only $35.

My last purchase was the Camera for the PS4, a new case for my note 4 and some OEM Samsung headphones.

I am a bit of a timepiece diva.

im not going to call myself a diva, but there are two watches i would like to have:

1. Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Lune Retrograde abit too pricey. difficult to justify it :/

2. Longines Master collection Moonphase

i quess my next move is to get 2. one =} i have always like Longines Moonphase - it is classy, stylish and "old fashioned style".

of course i could wear Panerai, Ulysse or Patek if someone is willing to buy one for me, lol...

 

[lunatic59]

difficult to justify it

But not impossible.

The Maurice Lacroix is something I wouldn't mind having myself, but I am not too impressed with the Longines.

I stopped wearing watches when cell phones came out

My last purchase ...

The movie ticket. And by extension the Hot Wheels Batmobile and Mini Dark Knight - My buddy that got the tickets for us got these for me too. I paid him back for the tickets but he would not take money for the toys. So I bought him popcorn. I am sure he spent less than me!

Creation Crate Arduino project for my son. Mood lamp he had to wire up and I helped him program.

Decided to get an SSD,

Got it for $59.99

Well I broke down and bought one for my desktop.

I've had a Samsung SSD in my desktop for a few years now, plus my laptop came with one. Never going back to the spinny ones.

My first exposure to it was in the movie "Notting Hill," which I found to be a terrific movie.




...and speaking of movies, isn't that Scaramanga's "gun?"

Yeh it was, Man With The Golden Gun. Made by Colibri of London, who does make lighters and pens, amongst other things.

Nice one! I have an Arduino and went through a phase of playing with it. But I could never think of a suitably earth-shatteringly important project to use it for, beyond the standard flashing LEDs and traffic light simulator.

I also have a Raspberry Pi, which is currently living below my TV, working as a very nice media centre.

FINALLY got a shipping notification for our new TV!

Couldn't resist getting a few of these Ikea Vinyl LP frames - i like getting some cover artworks on display instead of sitting buried in a box (frames are strong enough for double albums too, hope the wall is!) Edit: by the way they are called GLADSAX (yep, really )

 

[lunatic59]

I think you put it in upside down.

Did you steal my high school record collection and hang it on your wall?

Ah, someone else with excellent taste What scares me is that it doesn't seem like it was 25-30 years ago . Also have a framed mash-up of (mostly Donnington) concert tickets that amazingly survived - unfortunately they seem to provide irrefutable evidence that it was indeed a wee while ago.

Time definitely flies. It's crazy. You just need some Slayer on that wall and you'll be set.

Not something I purchased, but it was a purchase made on my behalf:

A little doohickey so that I can use my brake lights as turn signals, eliminating the horrible fried-egg look of an amber bulb behind a clear lens. I can then put white LEDs where the turn signals are supposed to be and get a bit more illumination when backing up. I'm excited!
