You might want to see if you can write them an ask to cancel it.

Apparently, if you haven't enjoyed any of the benefits of Amazon Prime yet, you can request to get a full refund.
After a bit of searching on the website, I found the page with more explanation. You can even chat with someone to request it! It took less than a minute to fix the refund, I'm so happy.
Thanks for the hint, Dusty.

That's great news!

We're about to get hit with another snow storm. I'm getting really sick of winter at this point.

It's weird to see how extreme it can get over there, but also here. The weather is so different but it's equal in abnormalness and length.

I'm in San Francisco today. I currently have a full beard and was told I need to go and take a picture of myself outside of this place: http://muginohointl.com/

[rodrigo]

will you?

[xsecx]

will you?

No, I got some to try but felt weird taking a picture. plus it was getting dark by the time I was able to get out to it.

getting a house ready to move is a pain in the ass. I didn't realize how much shit I've accumulated over the years.

How's the weather in the States, warming up?

it's trying to. At least around here it's going to be cool and raining all next week.

[Lifestyle_X]

Better than cold and snowing, I guess! We had some sunny and warm days in the last weeks, but it looks like it also gets normal again here.

Anyone heard that Nicki Minaj song "Anaconda" lately? I just can't believe how far the music industry has gone that we have to listen to this crap. It's not even music anymore, just irritating sounds and stupid lyrics.

Have you seen the video? It's even worse. It is literally Nicki Minaj and some dancers shaking their asses. At one point Minaj is wearing nothing but an apron and spraying herself with whipped cream.

I've seen it, unfortunately.

I googled some stuff about her and I came across an internet board where someone said she's a good role model, because how far she got in the industry and she has money and fame now.

a lot of people think that. she's been very good at the business side and the control she's had over herself and her career.

[Lifestyle_X]

Too bad the music sucks. Guess that one is less important than the money and fame?

How is the weather over there? After a rainy month of August, we again get sunshine and temperatures of 20°C but autumn starts to kick in. That real after summer feeling is here.

I work in a movie theatre now, yay for me! I really like it and I can see all the movies I want for free.

[rodrigo]

that's awesome! what about the popcorn?

[Lifestyle_X]

Have to pay for everything else. But if I can get a 10 dollar ticket for free, I don't mind to pay 3 dollars for popcorn.

That is awesome! I worked at a movie theatre for a couple of years and I loved it. I saw almost every movie that came out just because I could see it for free. I used to get laughed at because I would go to the movies alone. My logic was that it's free, and it isn't like I would talk to somebody during the movie anyways!

[Lifestyle_X]

I always go to the movies alone, it's equally enjoyable.. a moment of zen. I saw Cub and Fury for free. Next weekn Interstellar is up.

I went to see The Drop on Saturday, good one and no Hollywood. It's the last movie with James Gandolfini.

Any of you guys went to see "The Loft" ?

The last three weeks we had a lot of floods again in Belgium. This time not from the rivers, but from the fields that can't take the amount of rain that falls. Today it rained again, just for two hours, but the fields are saturated and the same story repeats itself.

man. i hope it stops raining there soon. We've had a lot of rain too with flooding.

[Lifestyle_X]

Are there more floods in the last decade in your area (TX or DC) ?

we were in drought for years, because of a weather pattern called el nino it's been really really rainy.

[Lifestyle_X]

Tomorrow will be extremely rainy again with thunder and hailstorms. 99% chance the streets will be flooded again.

was there bad flooding? What's the general consensus over there about Brexit?

[Lifestyle_X]

Well, there was no rain whatsoever, weird! I'm not following the Brexit news and I don't hear a lot of people talking about it here. But that's Belgium, even with the bombings in Brussels and the national airport, people weren't taking over the streets etc... My mom says this will get more worse than the financial crisis of 2008 tho.

Is this forum dead yet?

That's what's on my mind.

I know xsecx moved to Texas (I think ?). He clearly still pays his hosting bills.

Wondering how Mr. Ed is doing as well.

What's new everyone?

Seems like this age of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram destroyed good ol' days of the Internet forums where people actually attempted to have meaningful conversations (and many other types of conversations not exactly falling under that category).

[Lifestyle_X]

It's kinda like a few years ago, not too much going on in here but a place to catch up, I guess.

I watch a lot of movies at the movie theatre nowadays and just finished my third season of bicycle racing.

[CarlaRant]

Yeah, I got too busy with my life to be online. When I came back to the site, there's just a few folks still hanging around. Fortunately, the ones I like. :)

Hey Dusty, how is everything going in Texas?

weather keeps going from freezing to hot. Everyone is freaking out about the future. So kinda a mixed bag. How about you?

[Lifestyle_X]

I'm okay. Figuring out what I want in life.

[Lifestyle_X]

My three month internship finished last week. The project revolved around implementing Microsoft ConfigMgr on the computer network of my old high school. I only have to do a presentation on Wednesday and then that chapter is finished. It was interesting but I don't think it's something I'd want to do for the rest of my life. I am perfectly happy with my job at the movie theater. I'm just a cog in the wheel and I enjoy the work.

[Lifestyle_X]

I had to retake two exams during the summertime, it was my very last shot but I passed them. Now I only have to right a 'small' thesis and this shit is finished. I started college in '09, can't believe it is eight years later and I still don't have a degree. Actually, I almost can't believe I am still going for it, but the end is finally in sight.

way to go! closing on stuff can be a really good push for starting new and exciting stuffs!

[Lifestyle_X]

Yep. Don't know yet what the new stuffs will be though.. a long trip, that's for sure but besides that? I don't want to grow up!

After working four years at the local movie theatre, I have to find another job. As I no longer am a student, they can not offer me a new contract. It hurts 'cause I really loved the job.

bummer, are you eyeing something yet?

[Lifestyle_X]

Nope. Probably working a little bit in the supermarket for a while. Nothing can come close to the job at the movie theater.

I booked my flight. I will leave on August 14 to San Fransisco and go back to Belgium on October 28 (but from Washington D.C.). I see that there is an Amtrak long distance train from L.A. to Austin (or is it Houston, where you guys live?), is that any good? I still have to plan everything though, I do not know if a trip to Texas is achievable but it would be great to see you guys again.

we live in austin. it's super far so most people fly that far, so i'm not sure how good the train is, to be honest. That's a good long trip though, so hopefully you'll have a lot of fun.

[Lifestyle_X]

I kinda forgot about this but the trip was pretty great, too bad I did not plan it through more. I did visit a lot of states but Texas was not one of them, unfortunately. It has to go on my list for next US trip. Hope all of you are doing well in these weird times!

How are you guys doing? Cool to see this is still online.
