Blackout Wednesday went well and I'm now enjoying the tradition of eating donuts while being still so drunk/so hungover that standing makes me dizzy. I feel like today is going to be a really good day

But at closing he happily told us how good the wood burning stove was and that there was enough wood for 2 years. Someone came and cleaned up a bunch of fallen branches which we're thinking was a cover for taking the firewood.

spog posted:If you are going down the route of reasonable paranoia, you could consider anti-shatter glass film: I researched that stuff for my current place because the front entryway is completely hidden from the street and it has a 5 foot square window at ground level that enters in to my kitchen. The previous owner had literal jail bars installed that couldn't possibly have been to code because there was no way to escape through them and it made me paranoid. All the other windows are so out in the open that anyone breaking in would immediately get the cops called on them. I figure if I stay here longer than another couple years I'll replace the windows and put that stuff on them. Long term, I really want a secure place with thick metal door frames and some custom locking thing I invent for myself that can't be casually figured out.

This includes if we're all together watching a movie. I'll literally put the movie on pause, look at her and say "Mom, say what you need to say, and then let's watch the movie OK?" she'll get her nose out of joint, say FINE, we'll start watching the movie. 5 minutes later, starts again.  I cannot understand how someone has to talk about nothing all the time. No, I really don't care about hearing how your neighbors 4 doors down (that I literally don't even know) how their daughter in law is being a bitch to them.

My parents are super-tolerable. My in-laws are alright too, when my wife can finally convince them to stop trying to feed me. I mean, I love food, but I am also an adult and can decide when I don't want more on my plate. Except when the MIL makes thit kho. I can't stop eating that. Goddamn is it good.

I live in the land of Thanksgiving in October and for the past three Thanksgivings I've conveniently been on an island away from family. Meanwhile, in the past three days I've gone from "I miss Vancouver" to "I want to move back" to "My boss is glad I want to move back and excitedly reserved me an office" and now to "I may be about to lock down a place". Holy poo poo life moves fast sometimes.

We were watching the AKC dog show (or whatever it was after the parade). The winner was a whippet. "That's a greyhound. That looks like a greyhound. Are they sure that's not a greyhound? That's a greyhound!" All in one breath. Yes. The head of the AKC or whatever it is doesn't even know what sort of dog that is.

I heard back from my insurance company today. Adjuster spoke to the appraiser and it's been decided the Forte's repairable and that it'll take about three weeks. I hate the rental accord, it's literally mediocrity in car form.

Remember my friend's Fiesta that got stolen? It was found in some farm buildings, apparently next in line to be chopped for parts (good guess, Mr nm) amd the police got there in the nick of time. I made my friend promise to find out how it was taken as I am very curious.

A whole-house humidifier? Is that because it uses a very dry heating system or what? I've never heard of such a thing.

spog posted:A whole-house humidifier? Most natural gas furnaces will drop indoor humidity below 40% in regions that go below freezing in the winter. If you can keep the humidity around 40% you can typically set the thermostat back a couple of degrees, remain comfortable, and save energy. Above 50% and people tend to set the thermostat higher to dry the air out. Below 30% you risk damaging furniture, wood floors, etc. Some people (myself included) start experiencing dry eye, sore throats, and skin issues around 30%.

Mine drops it to 19% in the winter when the heat is running. Best way to boost it is to take a hot shower with the bathroom door open. Immediately up to 50%+. I find humidifiers just don't add enough water to the air.

I feel nasty above 30% Though my skin is drying out like crazy from, like, not having any testosterone, so I'm probably going to have to change my habits. Woke up one morning to the tips of both middle fingers dry and threatening to bleed. I've tried to keep my living areas at or below 30% for years and this is the first year where it's mattered. Drinking water and coconut oil lotion helps.
