Negative is good to hear.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Yay msbelle!
Very handy, Theo!

Thrive to spite them
Yay msbelle.
I've had acid burn the back of my mouth because of acid reflux. I used to have it really bad until I had to go on a almost no acid diet for a few years. It has come back a little but I try to remember what I ate that triggered it and avoid those things

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S's school had a fall festival thing this morning at a local farm. Gary took him there. We now have a pumpkin on our kitchen table, since the farm gave them out at entry. Now to convince Mr. S that drawing on the pumpkin is a better alternative to carving it.(Neither Gary nor I have carved pumpkins before)

Anticipation.
I'm succeeding in my lazy Sunday. Coffee, crossword, salad for lunch (aka, no cooking), and now we're going to watch Punch Drunk Love, which I've never seen, to my DP's apparent shock.

I've been fairly productive today. Unpacking and organizing stuff. Cooking. About to swim. Trying to avoid watching news.
eta: Never saw Punch Drunk Love either. Give me the thumbs up/down later.

What is even happening?
Now to convince Mr. S that drawing on the pumpkin is a better alternative to carving it.(Neither Gary nor I have carved pumpkins before)
You can also paint them (with acrylics), which might light Mr. S's fire a little more.
You can use markers, but they tend to smudge.
Carving a pumpkin isn't hard. Carving one with precision is harder, so don't set yourself up to fail by trying to replicate some fancy art, the first time you ever even try.
1. Cut a circle at the top (around the stem, but wider) and remove the top of the pumpkin.
2. Scoop out the guts and seeds.
3. Using a pencil, draw a (non complicated) face of shapes (you're coordinated enough to cut out).
4. Cut.
Edit:
You could draw a few faces on paper first and ask Mr. S which one he likes best.
There's a reason jack-o-lanterns so often have triangle eyes and noses. They're easy to cut.

Patiently awaiting at least two people's pumpkin pictures now. I won't be doing one, so I need to live vicariously, you see.
Laura, I thought Punch Drunk Love was a weirdly funny and sweet story. I'd give it a thumbs-up. Now, of course, if you watch it, please report back!
