Another sign of the pending apocalypse, CyRocks shopping at Goodwill. Cubs win. Trump elected. If Iowa beats us tomorrow it's a lock, the end is nigh.
 
Random.

Jaguar spends almost $3000 per auto sold on advertising. The lowest is Porsche, Honda and Toyota at around $250 per vehicle.


Chrysler and ford were 300 bucks when I worked in the dealership back in the mid 90s. Thinking 750 gets charged to the dealers now.
 
It was when my mom was up. We were going to Ikea and she made me stop at every Goodwill she saw. She ******* loves that place.

I love it for the drive through drop off. You don't even have to get out of the car. Pop the trunk and tell the dudes "Here's some stuff for ya". Last week I got rid of my old golf travel bag. Maybe used it twice. Haven't dragged clubs on vacation since maybe 2000 in Texas.

Late full and all and with the nice weather I forgot to let everyone know it's seasonally okay to wear corduroy again. No athletic shoes with them pants though, dads.

Bonus: tax deductible.

Oldest daughter had a couple friends over yesterday. One of them moved here from Iceland last school year. She was calling her parents to see if she could stay later and will talk in a 90% Icelandic hybrid on the phone. They also eat quite differently than Americans, so I was almost ashamed of what was in our cupboards. In my defense, we have very unusual cereal eating habits. The girls counted 13 different kind of cereals in the pantry. They had a cereal taste test for her. She did not like anything with a "peanut butter" taste; she did like Trix and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. She also mentioned when they first moved to the US she could not eat just cheese on its own, but now her system can handle it.

The other friend that was here is a legit model. She usually only goes on shoots on school breaks, but she has representation on both coasts. She is one who you would not look at and automatically think, "wow, she should model" but when you see her professional pics they are stunning. (And don't get too excited, guys--she is 13)
 
what do you make for Christmas treats? DH and I both have work things next week so I think this weekend will include Christmas cookies. I need another type of cookie to make. I've done peanut butter blossoms but we usually end up with too many left for my taste. Maybe the reese's cup ones instead.

I'll do cream cheese frosting sugar cookies and almond bark pretzels for sure. Thinking some andie's mint brownies and a peanut butter cake ball type thing with nutter butters and cream cheese, coated in chocolate.

Maybe I should just do something easy like chocolate chip cookies with red and green m&ms
 
So one of the threads in the cave is talking about a professor at WVU who is apparently very outspoken about his views and has a link to his ratemyprofessor page. I was skimming the reviews and one of them said something like "his tests are really hard, studying for 2-3 hours will really only get you a B." I'd have probably complained about that in undergrad too, but at this point, I would kill someone if I only needed to study for 2-3 hours to get a B.
 
Rulzzz gameday thread is bringing up some old memories for me.

1. I was one of the people responsible for one of the former Hawkeye players mentioned in that thread's first beer.

2. A girl I was dating called me during the Lafester Rhodes game. I'm pretty sure she broke up with me because I wasn't paying enough attention to her on the phone during that game. My priorities were correct.

Don't think anyone in that thread will get my Pembrook Burrows III reference without googling and maybe not even then.
