which system?

Nintendo Switch. Traded in my sister's old Wii U for it.

Look into buying a Homedics Sound Spa. A small clock radio with various relaxation sound settings. Ocean waves, rain shower, river, thunderstorm, white noise, fan, etc. I bought one for my Dad a few years back. He loves his, and it helps him to sleep at night.

But, but, but, I like going to bed at 3:00. I don't generally get up until 10:30/11:00. Win. Win.

Is your sister aware of this?

Is your sister aware of this?

Lol, yes. She gave it to me to do it.

So how is it? My son was saying he wants it - but he wants EVERYTHING - so I'm curious if it's worth it.

The Switch or Wii U? You may be out of luck on the Switch as all pre-orders seem to be filled.

The Switch. I'll wait for it - just curious how it is. The only info I got is from an 11 year old which maybe less than reliable. "It's awesome mom. It's just - awesome. We NEED to get it."

Here's what you need to know.

It's also $300 and if you're going to need accessories they can be a bit expensive. There will also be a subscription to play online but the price of that is unknown at this point.

So can you play all the Wii U games on it or are they reissuing all the games for Switch? Looks kind of like a Wii U/3DS hybrid (obviously more than that though)?

It cannot play Wii U or 3DS games as it is a complete change in hardware from those two systems. You are correct though that it's a hybrid of home console and handheld. Only one game is confirmed to be reissued from the Wii U and that's Mario Kart 8. Zelda is coming to both Wii U and Switch simultaneously on the same day. Everything else is new.

I thought I spied Splatoon in the promo.

It's definitely worth looking into (in a few months).

So, I'm off for the holiday today, and what do I do? I go shopping!

Been wanting a long down coat from LL Bean, but the price was high, so I held off. Today, they had 25% off, plus I had a $50 gift card from Christmas, from one of my brothers. Guess who just knocked $100 off the price of a $239 coat, down to $129?! WOO HOO!!

What does this awesome coat look like? Is it pink and puffy like @JenniferS 's coat?

 

[Goofyernmost]

Most people would probably be more excited to meet D-ick Van D-yke but Happiest Millionaire is my all time favorite movie. I was truly in awe meeting Lesley Ann Warren, and I can't believe how good she looks for her age.

I have a picture of myself with Cindy Williams (Shirley, from Laverne & Shirley) at an AARP convention in Las Vegas back in 2004 or so. I'll see if I can find it and post it. It's around here someplace.

Two separate things.
