Godiva. nuff said.I guess that’s a gray area - a Belgian chocolatier that set up manufacturing in the US to their European specifications. It would still be an ironic thing to send to Woran, but at least would be less costly since it wasn’t actually imported to begin with.
Godiva isn't a shadow of what it once was. At this point it's been so Americanized I won't eat it any more. There's no 'chocolate' in their chocolate.
EDIT: Woo hoo! Appropriate nekkid post!

I've been on call since Monday last week. It was largely uneventful until a bunch of new hires got their equipment late last week. I've been getting calls all day every day since about 4:30 Friday afternoon.
We advertise this line as the "Emergency Line" and all of our documentation states it's meant for situations like "entire departments or offices are down".
These calls I'm getting do not qualify.
My rotation lasts until the Monday of Thanksgiving week.
If I go silent for a few days, check your local police reports, particularly for those in the Alabama and Georgia areas.

DST is silly. If people want more daylight at the end of the day, they should work earlier. Stop messing with the clocks already.
Yes, yes, YES!!!!!!
We are at the point that we are actually killing people for an antiquated system that made little sense even when it was first implemented, and now the only people I know who strongly advocate for it are sport parents: "We need our little darlings to be able to engage in their extracurricular Sportsball activities in the daylight, because dark is scary!"
If daylight matters so much to a business or school, let THEM change THEIR hours; don't force the world to align to their issues.
(The video store I worked in was open 10:00 am - 10:00 pm in summer, and 11:00 am - 9:00 pm in winter due to reduced business. And people didn't get confused about it. And this was in retail.)

Early voting has disrupted my usual Election Day traditions. Polls in New York State are always open until 9:00pm (which makes the state an outlier in terms of being open so late), so every year since I was 18 I would go to the polls around 7:30 or 8:00 pm. The polling places are remarkably quiet that late, so it’s usually a very friendly experience.
I’m kind of missing that this year, since I already voted.

So... grognard minds think alike.
My retired co-worker contacted me for the first time in months yesterday, and the first complaint out his mouth was, "I wish I had someone to vote for who wasn't older than me!"
And he's 71.

Text yesterday from Freehold: "So Vany lost an arm...and a part of his torso...then his chest...but he's okay we can rebuild him"
Way too close to real life, Freehold.

If you get convicted, try and get me on your jury. MrT as well. We will rule in your favor as its clearly something that cant be helped.

Also, my phone keeps autocorrecting Woran to Wotan. She may or may not actually be the patriarch of the Norse pantheon.I refrain from commenting.
Why there is a gleam in only one of your eyes when you are saying that?

What should I play?
Crying suns?
Lovercraft's Untold Tales?
Forager?
Too many choices...
Well, at least now there is little point in getting to play any game that has high gfx requirement until the new computer is here.
205.9 after today's bike and shower. Not quite where I wanted to be (203.8 on my linear progress), but I will take it given vagaries of my smallest's sleep schedule mixed in with DST ending.
I am working on painting my paint pokey tool to look like the Demon (Gene Simmons) in KISS. It gives me a sense of peace and completeness. Not sure how much KISS I listened to as a prepubescent person.
In other news, diet dog food smells horrible.

When I went to tell Impus Major about this restriction, I said, "So, today's Election Day..." and he interrupted with, "Yeah, major lockdown tonight."
He'd even already gone so far as to convince his friend (who'd wanted to go out to Albany Hill all night) not to go out.
My son continues to prove he is wise beyond his years. I am, as always, quite proud.

Meanwhile, my nephew is doing a "food at the polls" and documenting voting irregularities.
I have paid to have two pizzas delivered at 430 local.
Am hoping nephew makes it home in one piece.
Am trusting him to take care of himself.

I figured out why the one designer doesn't like me, it's because I don't act like he's the expert in everything.
Mostly because he's not.

We once did the landscape for a building where the landscape architect did not understand the concept of "water runs over the surface of the earth." As a result the parking lot of the building turns into an ankle deep river every time there is any amount of rain.

Also because I'm not a big macho guy.
He's super dismissive of me and pretends like he can't remember my name even though I've worked here for nearly three years.
The other designer is super cool though and always asks my opinion, she's younger and prefers more "modern" designs (i.e what the west coast was doing when I worked there 15 years ago).

My pessimism is showing.
I saw an article entitled, "How to spot election misinformation online."
My immediate thought, "That's easy!"
(1) It's election information.
(2) It's online.
There! Done!

Do you think Woran would be a Wotan like the Wotan of American Gods or the Kringle/Odin hybrid of Butcher's novels?
Would it matter if it was one versus the other?

I'm calling your emergency line to say there isn't a bearded tech here drinking all this beer and feeling up all of these women dancing around me.

I'm already drunk after a nice nap. Excellent. Now the election day can continue.
Reaper has dropper bottles for its paints. They can and do (frequently) get clogged with dried paint, precluding paint from issuing forth from the nozzle. To assist in remedying this situation, Reaper produces what they call a pokey tool. This tool is basically the pointy part of a safety pin with a skull attached where the hinge would otherwise be on the safety pin. An unfolded paper clip also works, but is not as cool looking.
The skull is readily paintable. I am doing so to make it look like a member of KISS.
The second comment about dog food is completely unrelated, but I was feeding my mom's dog (and they get diet dog food) and it does, in fact, smell horrible to me.
And good on you for drinking and relaxing. It sounds like you may be at a gentleman's club and so long as the wallet is handy, it is hard to have a bad time there.

Oh, that's a tough one. Perhaps both versions are merely aspects or mantles of the higher being Woran.
While the Kringle/Odin hybrid amuses me (and has his own great badass moments), the American Gods version is perhaps more sly and deceptive. I think it really depends on whether Woran is at work or not.
I think most depictions of Wotan or Kringle/Odin have him be on the chunky side. Even Anthony Hopkins was not a svelte Odin.

My cat decided to play under a bedspread, pouncing at things and being a nuisance. Somehow she got herself rolled up like a burrito and then decided that it was nap time. She has been sleeping in that comforter cocoon for over an hour.
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen - just her little face poking out, with a paw over her eyes to block the light.

I was fat at some point (100KG, or 220 lbs or roughly 847 bananas)

Also, I sleep like that at times.
