I got an email on Sunday from Sony that I was selected to maybe purchase a PS5 on Monday. So yesterday I spent ~4 hours waiting and waiting and waiting in a queue that was worse than Ticketmaster to NOT get a PS5. whomp whomp
The most annoying part was even though I never made it to the top of the queue, I could see from having another tab open that consoles were coming in and out stock. I was even able to add one to my cart, but I couldn't complete the purchase because it wasn't my turn. What a waste of half a day.
This is completely nuts to me that they are still so hard to get! Somehow my H got lucky and scored one back in December 2020. The idea that people are still waiting 13 months later is just shocking!
I'm sorry you missed out, I hope you get one soon!
wildrice , how is your new job going? Anyone else who's started a new job in the last couple of months too. Maybe @captaincapnip? Did I dream that lol
ETA: And I agree about PS5. I didn't know they were still so hard to get. My BIL got one for Christmas, and most of the games are the ones we have on PS4. Is it like the car chip shortage, or they just think they'll sell more if they make less?

My daughter sits with the "bus monitor" on the school bus, which is essentially an older girl that the bus driver has known for a few years. Because our neighbor's daughter is apparently upset with her own assigned seat, she's now mad at my daughter by association and is causing a lot of neighborhood "don't be friends with her!" drama. Elementary school mean girls is exhausting.
I get the damp reference, but I'm not sure why the title of today's randoms has damp in it.
It was suggested that it should be on every random in January, (I think the conversation was on/around the 7th?), and the streak had been kept up until this last weekend and Monday. I was happy to see it started up again.
My H and I went to college with a guy who put a stick of butter in his coffee every day.
A character on Hawaii Five 0 put butter in his coffee - not a whole stick but I remember thinking it was odd when they did it. Apparently I'm full of dumb random TV tidbits today around the issue of butter LOL
NOT get a PS5. whomp whomp This is completely nuts to me that they are still so hard to get! Somehow my H got lucky and scored one back in December 2020. The idea that people are still waiting 13 months later is just shocking!

It's definitely the chip shortage. The Xbox consoles are having the same problem.
Sony and Microsoft don't want to limit how many console they can sell, because the real money is their service platform (Xbox Live and Playstation Network). People won't sign up for those services if they don't have consoles.
I only signed up because my H wants one, and I sort of half-assed tried to get him one for Christmas. It was kind of a surprise when I got the email on Sunday. He's kind of like, "eh, we'll get one eventually."
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”

Follow the PS Stock Alerts on Twitter. I got one through Walmart and his updates in December!
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus

When we were kids we'd often drive by a particular house that my mom said was Miss Hannigan. She'd threaten to send us there if we were bad lol. Team Carol.
When will I ever learn when it comes to my ADHD? Guess who just returned from the store with ANOTHER cute little planner that I think may just be the one that will make me into this organized person.
Oh please, I could open up a damn notebook/ planner/ journal store with my stock.
