What is Socialism?*

Yes, I enjoyed my fan glider so much once I built up my batteries. I also enjoyed my steer-able cars!

You could move on to TotK. Very similar and you start out weak again.

That’s what a club I used to go to did on 80s night. They used nugget ice (great for chewing on) and the drinks were cheap. So, it was a win-win. I could drink all night and not be totally wasted, and the drink was delicious. Only time I’d go to that club.

Favorite one and approximate price?

Mephitis mephitis!

“What’s mine is…n’t yours.”

One of my favorite bands was once called “post-modern.” I was like wtf does that mean? Is that supposed to mean futuristic? Their music doesn’t sound futuristic. They’re just dorks who like science and found a way to make a livelihood making music.

We used to buy fresh peaches roadside when on vacation and driving through Georgia. They were delicious. I don’t know if roadside stands still have the same quality these days, but they’ve gotta be chain grocery stores.

Is 20 enough? How tiny are your cats? I feel like 45 (a big weight lifting plate) might not be enough. Might need to screw the stand on a 36"*36" piece of plywood and put 20 on every corner. I guess it depends on the size and weight of your tree, though. 25 years ago we had a cat climb nearly to the top of a 10-12’ tree (seemed like 12, but maybe just seems like that now). Anyway, the cat didn’t just stay on the trunk and we had to make adjustments to prevent a tip. Think we switched stands to something more heavy duty.

Sure, and not having one would be inconvenient.

I know where mine usually go, but sometimes they go somewhere else. Why did it do that? Where did it go? Sometimes I run a search and still can’t find it. Wtf? So, I have re-downloaded when I was in a pinch.

We have young kids. So, we are printing things for them all the time. Doctor’s notes, coloring sheets, copies of forms for school (reading logs, etc.), on and on.

Plus, my wife is a musician and prints out music, we print our insurance cards, baby business cards, holiday card mailing labels, etc.

We don’t print every day, but enough that it’s worth it. It also scans and copies, which is helpful.

But it’ll feel like a decade.

U.S. sample size of 1 here. I don’t have any Christmas decorations up yet, but we have begun updating gift lists, purchasing some gifts (I monitor sales to find the actually decent ones for the 3-4 months prior, but don’t usually buy unless it’s really good), and we’ve watched a couple of Christmas-ish movies (Rise of the Guardians and Alien X-mas). We’ll put up our decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving. Oh, and I keep an eye out for Christmas decorations we like for a decent price. Haven’t found any yet. Did fine a decent projector for half off. I suspect it’s really more like $40 off, but that’s decent. Haven’t bought it yet, though.

I had a friend who was very mildly homophobic, but used homophobic slurs and insults regularly just as insults. My best friend (and roommate at the time) is gay. I wasn’t going to let my best friend feel less than for no good reason. So, I told the friend he needed to cut it out or our friendship was done. He didn’t have a lot of friends. So, I knew it was impactful to lose me, but lose me he did because he wouldn’t stop.

The reputation carried them for a while because they still sell older games, plus the occasional good new game.

I love you people. My family, my friends, and then you people. You’re like the third leg of my sanity stool.

Dedication. My life is interrupted so much that there is always an opportunity to use the bathroom.
