Last year we destroyed 300+ pieces in short order. This year not as many it seems. Being a school night things thinned out by 8:00 pretty sharply. Had a great time taking the kids out. My wife and I split between handing out candy and going around. It's nice to connect with the neighbors.

Too many fur babies are being lost in AI. bend I am sorry man. Today's story in government ineptitude: I finally got my Concealed Firearms Permit in the mail after waiting two months to be processed. I opened the envelope to see my brand new shiny card with my name and all relevant information. And some random guy is staring back at me where my face should be of course I get it on Friday night when the offices are closed. It's nice to think how my face greeted some random today as well. With stuff like my SSN and fingerprints that are on file with the FBI etc this is fine. I'm fine with the events that are unfolding currently.

Today the Utah Department of Public Safety/Bureau of Criminal Investigation emailed me back after I got my Concealed Firearms Permit on Friday to find the face and photo of someone else on my ID to say they already caught the error and that a new card was in process to get manufactured and sent out. Should take about a week which is great news!

I try my hardest to avoid political chat on the internet which is truly the cancer of online communities but this is pants on head slurred speech hitting on second cousin crazy.

dude's, last night did not go the way anyone expected. It is a little soon to decide that the world is coming to an end. I think that it is important to look that not everyone who voted Trump are bigot/racist/everything-ists. The people had to determine between two candidates that likely did not reflect their entire ideals. Turns out things like the 2nd amendment and abortion rank pretty high with a majority of people that are motivated enough to get out and mark their ballot. HRC failed to inspire her group to get out and vote, with a budget astronomically larger than her competitor. I am hopeful we can come together as communities and a country to show love and respect with one another. I have close friends and family that are LGTB, immigrants, people of other faiths etc. and I will be sure that they know I love and support them. I think after all the hot takes are had the real thing that should be on everyone's mind is that the liberal media is so far off base they don't even know what to do with themselves.

Kick alcoholism in the balls STR. So a few weeks ago I posted about not being sure if I believed the texts from my wife that she was pregnant. Well - she is! We are eight weeks right now, so still early. We have had our first appointment this week and everything looked good on the ultra sound. This will be our third and likely (99.9%) our last. Pregnancy is probably the worst thing about having kids. My wife gets super sick and can't do much of anything outside of the basics to survive. So for the next few months I will be going to work, then coming home and taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning etc. With the kids getting older this just gets more difficult to do. I am really not looking forward to it. My job is generally pretty chill as I can do it well but it requires that I am performing at a high level every day the entire day. There are upsides, like pregnant boobs which are awesome but can also at times be like museum pieces where it is all look, no touch.

I tried my hardest to get the NES but amazon broke for me too. It didn't update until probably 5 past the hour. I finally got the notification I could add it to my cart and tried to only for it to take me to my cart saying it was empty. I got the site to do that probably a half a dozen times. Then amazon straight locked up and stopped responding. When is the last time Amazon broke?

Had a somber beginning to the day. We went to the funeral of a friend of ours. He was only 30 years old. Stage four cancer. He fought for a few years. Had it licked too. He and his wife have three young children ranging from 5 to under two. They just got home from a trip together and on the ride home from the airport he started feeling really off. Went to the hospital to find out he was having a heart attack. He was placed in a medical induced coma so that they could get his kids and family there to say goodbye. This guy was clean living his whole life and so positive. The take away from words his wife shared was that he always said 'if you can't change it, you might as well enjoy it'. I truly hate cancer.

I am truly sorry to hear that because I am in no way ready should anything like that happen to me. I am the youngest of five kids and with my own little family growing I have had a lot of perspective happening about how we are at the point of life where we are replacing our parents and how our parents have truly replaced my grandparents. I completely see why there is such a thing as a mid-life crisis. My parents are getting older and it is difficult to see my mothers ailing health. Attending the funeral this weekend was tough because it forced me to think about the future more. I am envious that my kids aren't going to have the kinds of relationships with my parents as my older nieces and nephews. They are likely going to remember their grandma and grandpa that are older and have a hard time moving around and stuff. vvv EDIT: prayers, good wishes, etc your way vvv Somewhat Heroic fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Nov 15, 2016 |

The dishwasher that our builder installed (average GE stainless unit) that stopped drying. I checked to see that the heating element wasn't getting hot so I figured easy enough to replace and my new one arrived today. Took about thirty minutes but it's still not working. I'm getting a case of the effits and will find myself a Bosch dishwasher next week for Black Friday.

Seminal Flu posted:Plus, it used to have the entire countertop warm the next morning because the Sanitize dry (160* would be pretty impossible with 140* incoming water and no heater) would be so hot and it's pretty well insulated. Now, it's dead cold by morning. Exactly. My granite counter top would be warm in the morning and the dishes would be dry, I could open the washer and some steam would still come out. Now it is stone cold and everything is just wet. Some hunting around online by my retired dad has pulled up this piece here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/WD21X22276 which I can find online for less than $100, but that is already my tipping point for it being a "maybe" this is gonna work. My model of dishwasher is the GDT530PSD0SS. My dad bought a bitching BOSCH for their kitchen when they reno'd a while back and it is awesome. Crazy quiet, efficient, and does an awesome job so I will probably just go buy one of those. For something that is used every single day I think it is worth it to get a nice one. I was never in love with this Government Electric piece.

Black Friday is tricky. I don't really indulge and sure as hell don't go to any stores. How many TVs do people need? My place of business (primarily online retail) has customers that demand Black Friday sales and so we let them have it. We take Thanksgiving and Friday off (plus we don't work weekends) so it makes for a hectic week next week but it's good. People are genuinely happy about what we offer and appreciate the deals and nobody has to leave there house to do it. Additionally we start our thanksgiving sale the week of thanksgiving. It gives us a chance to get a good chunk out earlier to let everyone relax and be in with their families. The weirdness of the day would have been when a 3.3 magnitude earthquake shook my house this morning. I live in salt lake and that doesn't happen too often but we do live on a major fault and are repeatedly told that 'The Big One' is coming some time.

A pregnant wife that can eat/smell much without wanting to yak everywhere means that we're not cooking nearly that often. So I'm out getting some nuggets from Chik Fil A for the kids and grabbing a smash burger. I feel that the smash burger is a good value when compared with the fodder that the likes of other burger joints have to offer.

I have not had a fat burger or whataburger but I think smash burger is superior to both five guys and in n out. I should also add The Habit as a decent burger with offerings superior to McDonalds and others.

How do these stupid people get famous? I don't watch too much broadcast TV and so commercials that reach me via streaming are limited. Lately I've seen that fat douchey looking guy show up to find out his name is DJ Khaled (sp?). Can someone tell me what he contributes to society that is of any merit? Is he like social media famous or famous on social media for some other reason? I just don't understand the stupid.
