The Ginger C(h)at LC Thread for Sundry Chatchitting

Man, I don’t even want to know how many mp3 players I purchased over time. Pretty sure I had several different versions of that SanDisk mp3 player, as well as these random artifacts:

THE CASE OF VERMA’s MISSING CELL PHONE — The Trump administration’s CMS chief lost her agency-issued cell phone two days before President Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to recently filed court documents, resulting in the elimination of all of its stored records. Verma then failed to complete the standard form explaining how she lost her phone, the court records state, POLITICO’s Dan Goldberg reports.

Warning, plentiful C words.

What Color Is Your Parachute? 1997 Edition. That was for my new bride. The first thing I bought only for myself seems to be a digital photography book in 2001.

I ordered Black Hawk Down in 2001, and then apparently nothing until 2005, when I decided to invest in my poker career:

I learned so much from Erick Lindgren.

See, I bought my first poker book in 2005 (HPFAP) and I’m positive I got it through Amazon. Even though I have no proof, my purchases have to go back that far.

I think I had two different accounts going for a while. I combined them eventually but I’m not sure all the old orders showed up.

It only goes back to 2009 on my account - I assume that’s the first year I bought anything. It was a stupid PUA book (which actually ended up helping me a lot, but not with women - it basically taught you how to not be self conscious and to be confident, because everyone else is too self absorbed to notice your tiny imperfections).

Then nothing til 2013 where I bought “Java: an Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming (6th edition)”.

Ah, to be 17 again…

I bought this for Mrs. Cooler a lifetime ago when she signed up to coach JV Girl’s HS ball. She’d never played basketball, let alone organized ball, ever. She read that earnestly to learn though.
