(CS LOUNGE):Happy Halloween

My sister had a rough day today....

She's a teller at the local bank, and it was robbed at gunpoint around noon. She and another person was the only ones there. She's a bit shaken up, but okay. The police are all over the place right now.

Right now it is a balmy, windy 53 degrees. A lot of people are putting up their Christmas lights because it will be in the 30's for the next week. We put ours up early but don't turn them on until the day after Thanksgiving. Or the forgotten holiday to us retail employees. >.< I haven't had a nice relaxing family Thanksgiving in ten years now.


I cook for a living in a nursing home of 130 people plus staff. I don't even work Thursdays but neither have I.

My wife's philosophy? You are the cook. You can do it better. Haha.

But I get the TV and computer all day as they are right by the kitchen so there is that.

Very glad to hear she was not hurt.
Bank robbery is scary. Those people are crazy. Obviously. Best turkey marinade I ever found is from Kikkoman. My fam loves the flavor. I'm doing the brined one and a deep fried one. Got an electric turkey fryer on clearance. Was surprised at how good it was. Stuffing, mixed veggies, marshmallow salad, gravy. Cheeseball for the football game, olive tray. I buy it all, I cook it all. Then I rush off to work.

The Alliance Hall of Fame is now full. Starting tomorrow in the Americas, and following with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, Mythic Uldir will be opened to cross-realm raiding, and the Hall of Fame achievement will no longer be available to Alliance guilds.

Eek! Glad to hear everyone is fine. Can't imagine how scary that must have been for them.

My family got introduced to deep fried turkey via a kit my dad stumbled on. Propane burner, pre-made Cajun flavored marinade for injection.
Dip that birdie in peanut oil and Oh Holy Moonkin is it good.
I have tickets to go see Spamalot tonight. It is a Tony award winning play based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

This is going to be fun
Okay, if you live here in the states, get out and Vote! Use it or lose it.

Gerry's Salamander looks compact next to my district, but I always vote anyhow.

And we don’t even get sausages over here ☹
Speaking as someone who's actually played the mobile game, and works with mobile games, this is a brilliant move by Blizzard. I liked the mobile game, too.
More of the same. Same reason why I didn't pick up the Switch version of D3.

I mailed mine in more than a week ago. Spent a whole afternoon going through each proposition, each measure, each local politician with a fine-tooth comb.
I was #14 in line at 7am. Had to vote before work. Trans Siberian Orchestra puts on a really good show. We've gone every year for quite awhile. If you like Christmas music that is.

I live in New York.

Unless you can justify an absentee ballot there’s no early voting in New York state, your vote can only be cast at your designated polling place between 6AM and 9PM on election day.

The one exception is victims of domestic violence who can get a special ballot and be excused from going to their polling place to vote.

Each of the fifty states has its own voting laws.

# 147 at 10AM, most people in my district vote after work as voting at 6AM, at a poling place with very limited parking, makes them late for work.

My boys Nana is getting them a switch for Christmas. There are 4 games I am hoping to finagle for them between now and then. Money is extremely tight at the moment, my wife has not gone back to work yet from the torn ligaments in her ankle.

But the games are

Super Smash Brothers
Splatoon 2
Those are for the eldest, and to teach his brother to play
Mario Party
The series is just ridiculous fun
And Diablo 3
This is in hopes of getting my son into Blizzard games. And I liked it on PS3, and might even finish it sometime on PC haha

As to the mobile game, I will give it a check out if the game is free to start. I will then judge it on the micro transactions and how it limits my progress for not paying.
And we are here. Spamalot incoming. Row H of the orchestra.

Man if I have a black knight, knights that say ni and perhaps the land speed velocity of an unladen swallow I will be an insane happy dude

I just downloaded Diablo 3 on my new Switch! I haven't had a chance to play it, still playing catch up after Blizzcon. Though I bought the Switch for Pikachu, Go! which comes out pretty soon. :D

I am massively jealous, Mastadon. I hope you enjoy the show, it's supposed to be great!
