So I get the package concept. What was fiasco, just someone not sending it along, or some interesting things in the box

Just failure to adhere for one reason or another.
You ask me, unless you had the necessary funds to ship it back out, or a kind of group fund was established and completed to get it in or out of your area...no dice...it would, sadly, need to be one of those "can you afford this?" questions, and well...nobody wants to have to ask that.

So it would be a box of horror film related stuff that HDC members would mail to each other, take something and add something. That is a nifty idea.

I gather that was the idea yeah, though not even exclusively horror related stuff.
Liked the idea.
Damn, the amount of random shit I have in my place...would love to have contributed, but it never came this way. (I guess if ever it starts up again...)

I think...when you leave things with humans and it's not obligatory...they let things slide. Of course, I guess whoever "just kept it" in the end was who really let the team down.

I guess the only thing we could do is establish an HDC buy/trade page.
That's on you guys if you wanna - I don't set things up.
"I'll allow it".



So on the gilette commercial thing, I don't find the ad in poor taste at all...though really the one I saw was bloody waaaay too long - is this one they show at the cinema before a film or something?
I get what they're trying to do, and look, it's a message all "men" shouldn't really need public reminders of...yknow...act like people.
I think the main issue some people may take is that it's kind of "jumping on board the bandwagon" (a little late) but it's kind of coming across as a bit of a transparent marketing move?
Good that they're reflecting a positive attitude and, if it's still ok to say, being a gentleman though...but yeah...this is what I see as the issue some people are taking with it.
Me? Don't give a shit personally.

Cool, you doing the morning or 'after work' program? From experience, if you can really notch it into a schedule you don't give yourself an option, then it works well.

Not working right now, just enjoying the kids last year of no school - I manage financially ;)
Though I do prefer to go in the morning.
While I was working, I went prior to work at about 6:30am.
Now?
I wake up sometime between 8-9, have some tea and food, shake myself awake some and head to the gym shortly after that.
I think for me? Psychologically, I don't like "waiting", I don't like "looking forward to it" like literally the lazy part of me gets stronger sway throughout the day...so if I want to adhere? Yes. It's one of the first things I do in the day.
You tend to feel better and more awake too for the rest of the day - this was always a problem when I went at night, because I'd be so wired I wouldn't be able to sleep for hours.
