no worries, bidding on a newer version of the same item. Currently 10% of new cost. Item I lost got up to 54% of cost of new item. We shall see. If it keeps me awake during tech, it's worth the money, even if I don't win. It's not like I **NEED** the gizmo.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Usually I wait until the last minute and place a big much larger than the previous high-bid. Then if a newbie tries to snipe me, he still is usually under what my max bid is.Of course, if I played the game the way it should, which is really enter your max bid, then it wouldn't really be this game, would it? But nooooo. I gotta low ball it, and pretend I'm in an auction house or something.

what is it, a game?Elgato Turbo.264
A gizmo that helps convert video files faster, so your CPU isn't slammed. Should convert files recorded in EyeTV on my computer faster so I can watch them on my Xbox on the big screen. I don't *need* it, and can't justify the $100 to buy it new. So ebay!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I've heard that before, and also that serious stress can be a trigger. Which makes sense, because Hubby's diabetes didn't manifest until he nearly died from kidney stone treatment, and mine appeared right after. And we both were seeing doctors regularly.
Yes, me, too. My doctors figure that the condition tat led to my tokhes (tuchus? tuckas?) surgery in 1993 or thereabouts triggered mine. Too bad it took ten years for me to get diagnosed.
Ironically had I not been keeping low carb all that time, it would have taken me down sooner.

Dinner yesterday was hippie paella. Which is neither a paella nor really a hippie style dish.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just made my hotel reservation for a conference I'm going to in Kentucky. I had to ask the guy to repeat half the things he was saying because of his accent. Each time, he'd sigh and repeat it more slowly and enunciated. I'm not used to having this much trouble with accents, but this guy's accent wasn't quite like anyone else I've ever heard.
