We got IHOP for breakfast. Ordered through the app. Last week we tried to do that but the app was messed up and the order refused to go through so I drove there, ordered in person and waited. When I got home with the food last week they had forgotten my pancakes. Kind of important, imo, considering

and she is going to come over and bring us the pancakes herself. Where do we live? So Samantha gives her our address. She comes out and says I'm going to give you "4 pancakes, I feel awful". She shows up 10-15 minutes later with pancakes and she goes "I'm sorry, I was training someone and I forgot

to include the other pancakes when I wrapped up your order. I included the pancakes and I threw in some of our new strawberry french toast, please try it. Samantha loved that french toast, which is great because she did not care for the supposedly spicy breakfast burrito that wasn't spicy.

... it's called the International House of Pancakes. So Samantha complained and they sent us a coupon in the mail. This week the app was working so I ordered and went to pick up the order. I get home and they forgot my pancakes again. We had nearly identical orders. Breakfast burrito, side of

... pancakes. I only see three containers when I cut open the plastic bag. I think maybe they put all of the side pancakes in one container. I was wrong. Samantha calls IHOP. Speaks to the manager, is very nice about it. Manager gets on the phone and is very apologetic. It's her fault, she says ...

That is insane spending to keep his business interests viable? Why else spend so much in Texas?

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

Samantha surprised me with an Escape Room for our anniversary. We successfully completed it with a couple minutes to spare. Escape Oshkosh is great.

So Price is Right is giving away donuts to the audience if the wheel spin results in a "bendy", where the arrow is bent because it's between two numbers. The way these people went wild for a free dozen donuts was something else 😅

I'm inclined, as we get closer to rent being due, to clear these out. In the spirit of I don't wanna be homeless, I'm offering alters from this binder 3 for $60 or $20 each now. Murder, Myrri, and Core Tapper have been claimed. The rest are available. DM to claim! #artsale #mutualaid #mtgalters

Binder is condensed, here are the last of my $30 offerings. Reminder that you can also nab 2 for $50! #mtgalters #artsale #supporthumanart

I moved furniture today. Cleaned and rearranged and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned again. The dogs are pleased that I've moved the couch by the window again. Stevie is staring out into the dark, hoping for something to bark at.

We sat down for breakfast at a diner we've never been to and immediately started hearing "outside but over the phone" noises. There is a woman sitting behind us on speakerphone with a man that is driving and you can hear cars honking and various traffic noises. Unbelievably rude.

Of course Samantha didn't notice everyone else in the place sat as far away from her as they could. She wanted to sit next to the fish tank so we're right next to her. It's a nice tank, though.

I was talking about the game with my coworker, who I have discussed numerous games with, when he goes "the campaign is awful, don't bother". I asked why. He said "the whole team that made the game is liberal women." Dudes really just hate women as an identity and it sucks so bad. 🤦‍♂️

"when you start the game there's lgbt bullshit on the bottom of the screen" I told him you don't have to use them and it doesn't affect gameplay. I then asked where the lgbt is in the campaign that ruined it. "Oh I'm just playing multiplayer" These fucking guys, I swear to god. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I saw this Facebook marketplace post and thought "surely not". While I was right that's still way too much (in my opinion) for precons. Don't look at what the 40k decks are going for 😅
