Just merged in an important code fix for work. I'm happy nobody in the review objected to using 'terminateWithExtremePrejudice' as a function name.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a new car! Pictures on FB. It will take me a bit to get used to the acceleration thing. As in you don't use the brake because when you stop accelerating it stops. I pretty much acclimated with driving a bit around the neighborhood. It was a 20 min drive home on the highway but I couldn't test the cruise because the car was still calibrating. Shiny!
Halloween was good. A ton of kids, and not so much kids, and adults. DH bought candy so we gave out nearly 100 bags of popcorn, many to adults, along with candy. Gave them a choice. Popcorn is very tasty. Son & wife, and her parents came over because they don't get kids. We ate stuffed orange peppers and pumpkin soup. A good time was had by all.
Yay, Laura!
All my love and respect to teachers today. ltc hasn't listened to a single thing I've said today. I imagine teachers are dealing with the same today.
I didn't wear a costume for Halloween, but I did wear my raven pendant necklace and crystal skull earrings and had seasonal stick-ons on my orange fingernails. That's about as costumed as I get. I DID see a Morticia and Gomez Addams on the street after work ... he was wearing a velvet smoking jacket, she had the long black dress; hair, makeup, etc., were right.
I second Jess' nomination. Long range forecast gives us rain, rain, oh! partly cloudy on the 10th, and rain again through the 15th. Lotsa nap-resistance.
Toddson, I would love a photo of your raven necklace. I've wanted crow/raven pendant for a while and have yet to see one that says, "Me! Pick me!"
I'm still on some NC mailing lists and I got one from Eleanore Wood this morning from Progress NC/Action about text banking and etc. It finished with a perky picture of Amy Poehler (who was a member of the Upright Citizens [comedy] Brigade) over the logo: Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!
So I get an email from Elle Woods, played by Leslie Knope of the Upright Citizens Brigade, with a Coach Taylor tagline.
The pop culture mixture is overwhelming.
Our schools are out today. Smartest scheduled teacher work day ever.
Beverly, the pendant is what looks like a copy of a vintage print that's been set in "silver" with a clear cover (the reverse is a similar print of a fleur de lis). I tied a narrow black lace bow over it. No pictures, I'm afraid.
To get your spooky on, here's a one-minute video of a cat seeing a horror movie.
I have just finished scarfing down a Carls' Jr. Double Western Cheeseburger with Bacon and it tasted so damned good. Paul the Polyp was getting above himself, so I get to do this in three years.
Dear lord, I'm still hungry.
Timelies all!
Gary took Mr. S trick-or-treating while I handed out candy. I think we got fewer kids than last year, and we have plenty of candy left over.
I missed most of the trickers, since Rosemary was on door duty. She reported that her favorite was the Queen of Squirrels -- with a tiara.
