Definitely a ghost. That or those things have god awful security systems and people hack into them all of the time. There’s even websites dedicated to ones people have hacked into.


that's more typically the baby monitors - which we got a non wi-fi one for that reason. This has bluetooth but no internet connection thingy that I'm aware of. I'll google and see if anyone else mentions it

For most of my life, I couldn’t parallel park. Once I moved to Hawaii, I didn’t have a choice. If you can’t parallel park, you’re going to be walking 5 miles from your car to your house if you don’t have designated parking. And in Minnesota it continued as I had street parking. So I’ve become such a pro at it that I can just whip right into spots without even thinking about it.

Tonight, it’s like I totally forgot how to do it. I kept pulling in and out of the spot trying to park probably two dozen times. It got to the point that I actually had to put my car in park and try to reset my mind. So freaking weird.

Things I learned on my trip to Wi.

It is still fun to drive Wi back roads you still have to pay attention they turn every 200 yds (OK that might be a slight stretch). Was finishing some work stuff and didn't want to drive thru Madison during rush hour.

Ellsworth Coop cheese curds are pretty good not quite as good as Hook's but pretty good.

Ladies from the Netherlands have the cutest darn accent. I could listen to them talk all day.

Pretty sure that DH is now #2 in CG's world she seems quite fond of little man;). It was good seeing you and the new one CG. Well this ends NDubs latest work travel update.

Hope you made it home at a decent time! When I started college, one of the things that surprised me was the straightened of IACounty/rural roads. My part of IL is the same as WI, lots of curvy roads! I think maybe ne ia is similar because they are similarly hilly

One bad result of the vixen's job change: we have to go on new insurance. She had very good health insurance at her old job, so good that we switched over from my company's (who pays the vast majority of the premium). My company even picked up what we had to pay, since it was much cheaper than covering both of us in full. (I told you I work for a great bunch of people!)

But now we are looking at higher premiums, higher deductibles, higher out-of-pocket, etc. I'm just hoping I can make it to Medicare before this whole thing implodes. (Of course, Medicare will probably be defunct by then.) o_O

On one hand, it’s 100% something my dad would do.

On the other hand, ghosts don’t exist.

Pants, you're starting to sound bipolar.....or something.

It'll all be socialized medicine by then.

Not exactly sure.
Twins canned molitor, how long has he been there? Two or three years? Seemed his rope was way shorter than gardy.

I'm going to claim I'm a dog then. The vet visits are like thirty bucks and meds are dirt cheap.
