Ouch.

I'm dding the speed6 which is making more noises than it should whilst consuming premium fuel and spitting out 20mpg on a good day. But my work drive is only 25 minutes each way. Once we close on the house I'm going to dive into OT and get me a fuckin Prius or something.

No idea if we had any trick or treaters because we took the kids to a Halloween party instead. Lots of fun costumes, most of the adults too.

So, the Forester with Blizzaks is phenomenal in bad weather. Should I keep the DWSes on the Impreza for when we gave weird warm spikes, or put studs in the Altimaxes for when it's icy and miserable?

(Or should I sell the drat thing and save on insurance? gently caress, I would miss it.)

Your numbers are slightly off (LMP for ovulation window of mid-February would be late January, with subsequent due date around the sixth to ninth), but I applaud your attempt to gross out fellow posters.

Pick up a used gen 1 volt. They are dirt loving cheap with low miles. If you can get over the million buttons and tankiness (you really feel how heavy it is) it's a great car that's massively over engineered. Once the gen 2s dip down (hopefully they depreciate well, too :v:) then I may jump on one.

71 kids by the end of the night. One of the better turnouts in the 7 Halloween's at that house.
Some super-cute costumes to.

Now, the slow trudge to Christmas before I have anything more than a weekend off.

It was cold and rainy last night so there were very few kids out. I'd say less than 20 stopped by the house. :smith:

This Halloween I invested in a good pair of Dickies coveralls (dark blue) and a decent Michael Myers mask. Simple yet very effective, I walked (slowly and creepily) the neighborhood with my son and his friends and the attention I got was crazy. I would also stand at the end of the driveways and stare into each house, staying true to the character. Also noticed dogs did not like it at all lol.

We had loads of trick or treaters last night and all were nice and polite which was lovely.

Ended the night with 207 kids I believe. I texted my brother that lives in a small city in the middle of a neighborhood which is Halloween central and he had something like 500 or some drat thing. I think he tries to buy all his candy for the kids today so he has it for next year.

I am actually stoked because I got something for AI:SS this week too.

Halloween was a good one. We had tons of kids, my parents came to my house and my dad went around with me for a while with the kids while Mrs. Heroic and my mom hung out at house to pass out candy. My kids and a friend went around for two hours. They got a ton of candy, but not as much as you would think going around for that long. They were so slow, celebrating every single treasure after every single door.

Being a dad is good :3:

Discussing taking down the yard decorations on the way into work this morning... my wife wanted to take them down ASAP, I want to wait until Saturday because :effort: and daylight (or lack thereof). She followed it with a request to put Christmas lights up.

The very best ones say in store only. But I will most likely wait for SB season to buy a tv, the deals are just as good.

Jsut be warned that - from what I have learned here - the TVs in Target/Walmart may be special, lower-quality ones especially for them.

I've considered buying one a few times in the past year. They don't drive terrible and other than feeling like just another boring appliance they aren't bad. When the VW finally dies if I don't replace it with another cheap mk4 tdi it'll be a mk1 volt.


No kids for Halloween again but I sure as hell wouldn't let my kids walk on this road. I figure when we have a kid we'll go over to wherever the step-mother is living.

A friend used to work at Best Buy and that's exactly what's on black friday discount, the poo poo low quality stuff. That said, if you need a cheap tv, can't beat the price...
