If it is truly just a bunch of little dents you could explore a paintless fix. They use dry ice, I believe to make the dents (as long as they aren't creased) pop out. A lot cheaper than a big fix and new paint job.

I'm not super familiar with the severity of hail dents, but they had seemed small to me. I mean, we didn't notice them that first day when I got home, but probably cause the car was still all wet.

My food I refuse to eat is liver. Can't do it. Also can't eat pig's feet, gizzards, or any other weird animal organs.

My parents would make liver 5-6 times a year. I'd eat it because if I didn't eat it warm, I sat there until it was gone. As much as I didn't like it warm, I certainly didn't like it cold.

We also ate heart, gizzards, cow tongue, jowl, head cheese and treipen. If any of those are decently prepared, they are all ok to eat. I actually enjoy the head cheese and treipen prepared at my hometown's Oktoberfest.

I actually thought of you yesterday when I was at the grocery store and saw a jackfruit sitting right in the middle of the produce section. It was either that or a dragon egg. Coulda been a dragon egg

Took the kids camping last weekend. My son sat up just as Mrs. Velo was leaning down to kiss him good night in the tent. She ended up with an instant goose egg on her eyebrow. By yesterday she had the prettiest little black eye you have ever seen. It looks like she put a thick line of dark blue, red and purple eye shadow right along the lash line on her eye lid. I've never seen a black eye quite like that before. I accused her of stealing Left Eye Lopes' schtick. Good thing she didn't point out that it is actually her right eye.

Hey, I am still alive! I didn't even cry.

Crying Summary:
  • 7-year old stubs toe. Not a compound fracture, only sounded like it.
  • 7-year old gets arm stuck in my mail slot.
  • 7-year old gets hit in the mouth by safety kill lever on my mower after I told him to stop messing with it and he kept messing with it. :rolleyes: Karma
  • 5-year old and 7-year old. Toy fights and brotherly love. Multiple.
  • 8-month old after getting pinched in lip by car seat snap. She cried for like 30 seconds max, she's a little rock star.
Interesting moment when Seven asked how the "big CD player" thing worked. That would be my old turntable. So, had to spin some vinyl.

The local KFC will post on its sign "Livers and gizzards" often. I ALWAYS want to read it "Lizards and Gizzards".

My father-in-law will cook walleye cheek...still tastes like walleye

MrsWx and I want to get back to DC. We went a few years ago with my parents and it was cool but not a lot of down time and our time on the mall was get off Metro near the Washington Monument in Alexandria, start at Washington walk all the way to the capitol go through one museum, tour capitol, meet Grassley (before he went off his rocker), see the declaration of Independence and walk to a metro station. That's a lot of walking on a hot June day on the mall. Somehow we didn't even stop at either Air and Space Museum. Really enjoyed Mt Vernon though. I am one to try different things and it bit me at Mt Vernon when I tried peanut soup. That was essientially warmed up chunky peanut butter. Disgusting.

Wx, I know your kids are going to be really little for a while, but I would suggest waiting till they were in their late single digits or early teens and take them then. I never got to go to DC until I was in my late 20's and hope to go back again and see more of it.

don't know if I mentioned that the day we left, I stopped to grab granola bars and Dramamine after work and out of nowhere it like, super hailed. Like, I was afraid to run to my car and get it under cover cause it was so big. Called Dh saying make damn sure your car is inside before this gets further east and was sure my car would be dented to hell. Got it home and quickly looked before driving off and didn't think we saw anything. Forgot about it til today. Going to work today and DH followed me out of the house and then stopped to look at the car hood. Yep, bunch of little dents. Then he thought maybe it happened while the car sat in Chicago but I was like I bet it was that Monday we left.

Get to work and coworker is like were you around for the hailstorm? Hmmmm what day was that???? Turns out people at work had windshields broken and $4-$6k in damage. Everyone still in the parking lot had damage of some kind. Texted DH saying yeah, I think it was that day we left! He doesn't want to bother taking it in but I wasn't sure if we should.



also, hope no one noticed that I posted this in the Cave for a couple minutes.

Might as well turn it in you'll either get $ or fixed by taking it to one of those pull out the dent places.

There's a coffee shop/hipster bar across the street from my office. I go there pretty regularly to have a drink while at work (all local beers). They're all natural and vegan, and all of their meals are made with jackfruit. Their tacos made with jackfruit are awesome.

I'm assuming you had the top up also. Glad to see you survived.

I did not, which was a mistake. Stopped the little vandals before they broke the side windows, which were up, by trying to lift themselves up by the glass edge Had several full @GTO JFC moments.

Got to hear the story (from their mom) of how they had jumped onto the roof of their dad's car. :eek: The parental units are pretty frustrated with trying to deal with them.

In contrast their little baby sis is a really really sweet happy little baby.

LittleWx has learned how to open the gate. Not sure how long it will take him to figure out the carabiner that we out on to "lock" it. He has also started to attempt climbing the fence and is in full on "I do it" mode.

We're sooooooo eager for them to take their first steps. From then on out, though, we will spend the next 15 or so years trying to keep up with them!

My nephew went the longest time without speaking. He would just point and make sounds. Then one day he finally started speaking and never would stop. My sister said "I was so worried he was never going to talk, now I worry that he's never going to shut up"
