I was thinking about the convenience of getting my prescriptions at the pharmacy where I do my grocery shopping, rather than the one across the street, where I have been going for years.

I transferred my stuff over there and immediately, my cholesterol medication quadrupled in price. $21 and change for a ninety day supply, where I was paying $4.69

I immediately switched back.

I let my subscription lapse for a couple of weeks due to reasons, but I renewed it on Tuesday.

Today I found a message telling me to use my subscription within the next three days, or it will be cancelled for me.

I've been doing this for a couple of days. Loki has been doing the Houdini thing and will escape his enclosure to wander around the house.

He'll come out and ask to step up, and I will put him on his stand where he has toys and stuff.

He seems perfectly happy to be out there. My dogs don't bother him. I have a puppy who is learning, but he's not aggressive towards Loki. Loki is a Harlequin Macaw, so the pup will learn a lesson if he gets too excited.

This idea just popped into my head for a character.

I'm thinking they could each have a separate class, depending on which one was the one with their head sticking out of the trenchcoat, but they'd share mana and health bar.

That could be fun 🤣

As many of us are looking ahead, watching the videos, etc. and preparing for our own Crawls, is anyone going to parallel the world from the books, or do a variant?

Are Carl and Donut part of your world?

I've read that many are planning on creating and running themselves as crawlers.

Are you creating idealized, or straight copy versions? I know if I were playing myself, I'd likely die on Floor 1🤣

I received a used laptop from my sister.

It's an HP model number 15-dw2025cl

It's nothing great, but it does what I need it to do.

I did a factory reset when I got it, but a couple of times when I booted up, it didn't load my desktop, but a completely different setup, lower resolution, different taskbar stuff.

I shut down and restarted a couple of times, and got the same thing but then I received pop-ups advising me to backup my stuff to the Windows OneDrive and Microsoft 365.

I use Google Drive and a physical backup.

It even switched my mouse settings (I'm left-handed)

Anyway, I finally dismissed everything and restarted again.

Finally I got my own desktop back and my own settings.

Can someone please explain what is going on? Is this a heavy handed advertisement for Microsoft products?

I'm eating some MikeandIke and I said to myself, "Self, do you know what would be a great flavor for these?"

Myself replied, "No HP, what would be a great flavor?"

I said, "Soda pop flavors! Like the popular brands. Coca Cola, A&W, Fanta... Cheerwine, and you can't tell me that a Baja Blast Mountain Dew wouldn't be awesome."

Myself said, "Y'know, I think you're right!"

What do y'all think?
