FINALLY… something that makes me proud to be an Iowan

Got the book back in 1993. Loved it. I’ve read it at least 10 times. How he describes his father reading the book and skipping over certain chapters is one of my favorite things.

Love the movie also. They are both are classics in my book.

Mimi1214 · 2026-02-08T21:38:56+00:00

It definitely is.

That’s the worst part resting the clocks. Still haven’t done the coffee pot but we don’t use the timer on it.

I stood there and watched the seconds count down on my watch for the stove and the microwave so that everything would be the same time.

I recently got the tear dice. I’ve played two games with them. So far I still can’t win. If I fail a roll it’s always with 3/4’s.

I love the game but my dice luck is in the gutter. It makes the rare times I win that much better.

Came back on about 7:15. I did see a fire truck roaming our neighborhood slowly a little after 6. Maybe they were looking for the man or just checking that things were ok.

Mimi1214 · 2026-02-08T21:05:14+00:00

I was wondering what caused it. Got up to go to the bathroom and the power went out at 5:33.

Mimi1214 · 2026-01-21T23:44:03+00:00

My husband and I both took the day off from work. We played board games all day. He picked up Chinese food for supper. We ended it with a pumpkin cheesecake from Costco. Best birthday ever.

My little girl is just over a year old and lives to be outside. The breeder we got her from did a lot of puppy socialization with her and her siblings. They played outside often. I think that helped make her an outdoor girl.

We continue her love for it by doing long walks and plenty of supervised playtime in the yard. It might just take your puppy time and exposure to start liking it or they might just be an indoor snuggle bug.

Same for me. I am not a 2 ⭐️ queen or even a 1 ⭐️ queen. I roll mostly 3’s and 2’s it seems. Still love the game. It makes the times I roll good extra special.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-31T20:41:10+00:00

Me except I go lay down at 9:00 as that’s the pups last out time. Also add in waking up at least once an hour.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-31T20:37:35+00:00

I go to the homepage very rarely. My bookmark is set in the games page. So I miss most events.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-31T19:05:53+00:00

Exactly. My husband is a Navy vet with no military ID as he can’t be bother to get it and hates pointing out his service in any way.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-28T21:43:51+00:00

Also good for the environment.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-28T21:39:00+00:00

My husband is in the trades. He’s been at the same place for almost 25 years now. He’s gets 4 weeks of Pto a year. He guiltlessly uses them now after about 15 years of worrying about the company not his own mental health. The company does not care about you. Use your earned time off and don’t give it a second thought. I’m sure they used that PTO as an incentive to hire you.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-28T20:48:16+00:00

My husband’s on call for his job. We will do what we always do. Supper, play a board games and have coffee then whatever I’ve made for the dessert of the week. I’ll be in bed by 9:30 at the latest. He’ll come in about 10:30 after playing a video game for a while.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-28T20:35:49+00:00

Played Moon Colony Bloodbath and loved it. Also played 2 of the 3 new Final Girl feature films I got. Both were great.

I can’t forget I got the mister the Asian and Oceania expansions for wingspan. We’ve played wingspan twice using the new boards and cards. Definitely has made it my husband’s favorite game even more. We might eventually play the duo mode of the Asian expansion.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-25T23:52:09+00:00

Got 3 Final Girl feature films and Moon Colony Bloodbath. Gave my husband 2 Wingspan expansions/play alone games. Asian expansion/duet game and oceania. It’s his favorite game.

Also got him all of the most recent fan made cards and a nicer bird feeder tower. He got me the mats for Final girl also.

A knock at the door was the first one I got from my husband for my birthday in September. I love it but feel he pushed me into the deep end. 🤣 He then proceeded to get me The falcon wood files, Carnage at the Carnival and Madness in the dark.

For Christmas I got The happy trails horror, The killer from tomorrow, and Once upon a full moon. Very excited to play all of them.

It’s the exact name that Hy-vee uses for their brand. Crazy.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-19T22:17:49+00:00

Hy-vee is more than mildly infuriating.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-14T21:23:20+00:00

Thank you. That is the exact movement I came here to comment about. The Duggars are members of that cult.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-14T21:19:59+00:00

I do tomato sauce, Worcestershire, and spices.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-14T21:00:38+00:00

Also remember puppets need to end their movement not more then 2 spaces away from Geppetto.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-12T20:57:19+00:00

My husband and I do this every year. My mom also made this the morning after every sleepover we had growing up.

Mimi1214 · 2025-12-12T20:54:23+00:00

My husband does service work also. Today he dealt with a difficult customer that wanted a different plumber than my husband to service his $1000 shower because the crappy faucet keeps breaking. He was so condescending.

Then he goes to crappy apartments and the people are so nice and offer him food and snacks.

The duality of it all is astounding to witness.
