So, I clicked on Amazon for some Cyber Monday shopping, selected a couple Blu Ray discs, went to buy, and lo and behold, free Prime shipping didn't work.  Curious.  Anyway, I can wait for the discs.  I may try tomorrow or later in the week.

Good luck!

Thanks!  It was for an office assistant job at a local college's registrars office.  Haven't heard back from them, and they closed the job.  It could very well be that they just stopped accepting applications, but I'm not overly optimistic.  Although, I can't get a job without applying.

Probably gonna delete my account tomorrow because it's the only thing left I can think of preventing me from wasting time posting about stupid stuff on here. Not upset with anyone, just tried multiple times over the last year to remove my bookmark to this site only to google it and end up posting again.  ::) I barely ever listen to classical music any more, so kinda pointless staying here.

Well, you're not the guy starting up ten new frivolous threads  ;)

Any reason you aren't listening to classical music any more?

Reflecting on what I am doing and what's happening to me these days.

Feels like a seperate myself from others or something, like I go through something and arrive somewhere else. Scared a bit that I'm living a lie leaving my past behind, since I feel no solid ground under my feet. Must have to do with entering a new life phase. As Cornelis stated that on your 36-40 you get into your philosophical phase.

No specific reason. Just that since several years ago I seem to have discovered most of the classical music I like. And listening to mainly metal/prog ever since. I'll likely get tired of that eventually and move onto some other music, probably. I don't intentionally not listen to classical any more, I just rarely have the urge to listen to anything specific.

Ah, that's all right then.

You'll come back to classical  ;)

Can't find my cd The Game by Queen. So frustrating.

I am prepared to give my two weeks notice at Sam's Club.  This could either be a mistake, or a good thing.  *sigh*

I got a new deadlift PR yesterday -- 515 lbs. I am doing my first powerlifting competition in April. Should be fun even though I'm sure I'll place last.

Congratulations on the PR.
Don't think negatively about where you'll place in your competition, because if you consistently train, eat, and sleep like an adult then you're equipped to do all you can. You've already got gravity working against you, so don't add to it. Enjoy the day. And maybe post the result?
