Pepermuntkussentjes are white, or have smaller red stripes where I come from.

A while ago I had something with bigger red stripes, like in the picture you posted, and that red was fruit flavoured.

Polkagrisar usually just taste of peppermint. The red is just a colour, not a flavourant.

Like in the regular pepermuntkussentjes.

Raspberry mint?

Yeah!

That makes as much sense as his stupid smiley.

I have to assume that it was not directed toward me, even though he placed it directly after my own post. He offered no context for his inane bullshit smiley.

Who gives a shit, anyway?

I bought Breaking Bad, season 2, on DVD. Awesome. :headbang2:

I only recently got interested in Breaking Bad (bromine  ...   barium ... wtf is that about!!)  and devoured it like a plate of nachos. 

I like it!

It is interesting to see the drama played out well regarding how one or two or three questionable choices can lead you down a path from which there is no retreat.

Great show!

:agreed:

It's a recent one for me, too. I've just started watching the second season. It's fabulous.

We moved from a Galaxy tab to an iPad. I have to say the iPad is great at what it does.

My only problem with it is that it is a little too sensitive on the "touch"  part. I use one almost constantly at work and my system inflects the screen from several millimeters away. It is annoying to me.

The Galaxy sensitivity can be turned down, so to speak, as can the Surface..

I am told that the iPad can too, but I have not figured it out yet (honestly, at work, I just do not have time to fiddle with settings) and no one I have ever met has had the same problem.


OH and I have tried ten or twelve "pens" as well. The damn thing still thinks it knows what I am trying to do.

:plus:

Oh, that's what the sensitivity is about. It is the one annoying thing about it.

In the class of my youngest all iPads have a kind of heavy duty casing, including a sheet over the screen. With that the screen is not over-sensitive any more. But, the extra layer does cause Newton's rings. Not much, but, it is there.

We had way more inventory for our "Black Friday"  ads this year.

When I got to work this morning at five thirty AM, expected to be working by six AM, we still had a decent HP laptop in stock for a great deal. Three hundred ninety nine bucks, plus tax, I bought an i5 processor/ eight GB RAM/ 1TB HDD Win8 laptop for my daughter.  Basically almost half price from normal or at least an i5 for an i3 price.

I just need to find something for my son, now.
He is the difficult one to buy for.  He is always satisfied with what ever he has. Never wants for anything. (he is a lot like me)  Will not even hint as to what more he would enjoy. He is always content.
