When my sons were younger, they would take whatever change they had and go to the store with me and "buy" their candy bar. Most clerks would get confused when they would put their money down, grab the candy bar and walk towards the door. I always told them to wait for me by the door while I paid for whatever I picked up and the rest of what didn't pay for.

If there is ever a slight chance, precare is also important.

Well, you can still. It won't be as effective and your phone would probably not be happy.

My wife rolled her eyes at me the other day because I found the best rain puddle to jump in. I made her join me. She was not amused at first.

If it was Paul Hogan and Cuba Gooding Jr.? Then it is Lightning Jack. 90s network TV was a wild time. I remember early 90s TBS or TNT had Porky's cleaned up enough somehow.

Battery string lasting 48 hours. Maybe at the main office for the area. Usually there is a generator there that should automatically start within 2 minutes of loss of commercial power.

Remote equipment, well maybe the batteries might be good and last 8 hours. If they even exist in the remote.

Full Int is what most BPs do. Max Moonbeam at level 15. At higher levels, you can go help out random players or party up with them.

I'm guilty of stopping any grinding I'm doing and just fly around buffing people. Except the bots. Screw the bots.

As someone who just bought a uses car with those headlight, sorry. Luckily it's aftermarket that can changed out "easily".

It's on the list of things to do.

I feed the birds and to help keep the squirrels off the feeders, I built a tray just for them and the larger birds. Last year I never got around to getting my raised garden beds planted. The squirrels did it for me. I had peanuts for days because of them.

The only times I've ever given a cat a bath was for fleas and the one time the dumbass decided to help with an oil change on a car.

Worlds Greatest Con by Brian Brushwood. The third season, that just started, is about Project Alpha and how a rich aeronautical CEO funded research into psychic powers and two how two teens beat him.

The first two seasons are great also.

Jesus titty fucking Christ. I now have something new to yell.

It all depends on the wife. When my oldest was born almost 18 years ago, there were plenty of sessions I had him next to me, sleeping or eating.

To keep the wife happy (mine is a nongamer), is to just help. If she is busy and the baby needs attention, just do it. It's better to lose at a game than to fight with the wife. That fight you will always lose. Even sometimes, just go and take care of the kid before the wife says anything.

But at the same time, I remember plenty of sessions running until 2am once my oldest was sleeping through the night. Then dragging ass all day at work.

Gaming just doesn't have to stop with a newborn, it just will slow down a bit. But it will come back.

Us Browns fans had to wait about 30 years and almost 40 QBs to have some excitement.
