    Friday OT - So Bougie, Bougie

    Several smart home items have become requirements for us: wifi-enabled garage door opener, temp sensors for smart thermostat, motion sensor for separate toilet closet in bathroom. We also require a car with memory seats and dual zone temp controls. Hubby has a work truck so we have one car...

    Concert talk: Are you middle aged and missed the Warped Tour?

    Just got 4 tickets to this festival! Came to CF while waiting in the virtual queue and happened to see this thread. TBD if we actually make it to Vegas but figured it couldn't hurt to do the down payment option and see what the feedback is like from this year's event.

    Concert talk: Are you middle aged and missed the Warped Tour?

    Definitely a shame you haven't seen them live! I think my count is at 7 shows. One was free at ISU for the 10,000 hours volunteer thing.

    Friday OT #2 - Animal House

    Oh boy have I got a good one. I was living in a house-turned-apartments on Hunt St and came home from class one day and heard scratching coming from the kitchen. There was a beer pong table top leaned up against the backside of a row of cabinets and the sound was coming from the floor by the...

    Friday OT #1 - Cookie Doughn't You Want Me Baby

    Two things that I have learned are best left to their simplest form are mac and cheese and smores. I've tried so many fad things like mac and cheese on pizza, burgers, deep fried bites, etc but they are never as good as just plain old mac and cheese. Same with smores flavored things. What I...

    Random Thoughts 16: “Somebody had to do it” edition

    Figured I would pop in and say hi since I'm back at work and back to killing time on CF! We had a baby girl in November and I was very fortunate to spend 4 months at home with her. She is such a happy baby and has been sleeping through the night for us the last couple weeks. I love seeing her...

    If you have a Samsung, you can try Good Lock in the Galaxy Store. It integrates several other apps so once you download that you would want to enable the LockStar app within it. I agree, that is quite obnoxious.

    Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

    I work with a guy who has 2 last names that were so long they just shortened it to the first letter of each name, KK. So in all the official emails and user information, you never see his last names, just KK.

    Any guesses for the new ISU Bookstore “Exclusive Merch Drop”?

    To me, the weirdest part about this is that they are using a bunch of different versions of that logo. If you look closely at all the images on the main page there are ones of Cy holding Cyclones, Iowa State, and ISU as well as ones without words where he has one punching fist and another where...

    We've had this happen a couple of times where instead of getting 1 jalapeno pepper, we get 1 lb of peppers. Hubs tried to make a salsa/hot sauce with them once but it didn't turn out so great.

    Friday OT #2 - Soy Un Perdedor

    Being 7 months pregnant is starting to cramp my style! Although to be honest, we probably wouldn't have gone even if I wasn't. We went to Hawaii earlier this summer so that was our big PTO and $$ spend for a while. Hubs has been to Vegas before and is not a fan of big cities and lots of...

    Obnoxious neighbor dog

    We had this same problem with a German Shepherd next door for the last 2 years and luckily they moved a couple months ago. The new neighbor likes to do outdoor projects and mow his lawn at 9:45pm on weeknights. You can't win.

    Friday OT #2 - What's With ALLLL Those Cereal Brands?

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch will always be the GOAT but it's been quite a while since I've allowed myself to buy any. Crispix is my favorite "adult" cereal. I eat it dry by the handful more than I do with milk. It also makes the best puppy chow!

    Williams & Blum: The week before the week before

    I've started getting it stuck in my head anytime I hear someone say "take a step back," which is surprisingly frequently. And I always hear it in Chris' voice with his overly country twang emphasis.

    These comments give me hope that our little one might inherit hub's blue eyes! Although everyone in my immediate family has brown eyes so I assume I have two copies of brown. But maybe...

    Friday OT #1 - Rubbing Pennies

    Not super crazy but something I'm fortunate I don't have to consider doing now as an adult is sitting through timeshare presentations for the free buffet breakfast and tickets to a nearby attraction. My grandparents owned a timeshare and my family was invited to join most years. Seemed like...
