Sometimes I wonder how I do so well when so many others my age are in the gutter. I grew up lower middle class, parents worked in factories, didn't contribute anything to my college fund, but I got scholarships and the $30k of combined debt we had coming out of college(mostly his) was paid off in a year. I'm 36, with zero debt, mortgage is paid off, I put 25% in my 401k, plus other retirement accounts, and still manage to pretty well afford any luxuries I want. I mean, yeah, not having kids is part of it and we haven't had any major medical struggles, so I know there's been a degree of luck, but still.

Having just replayed this less than a year ago, I don't really feel a need to even spend $10 on the upgrade. I'd go for a PC release at some point, though.

It didn't, but I imported a PAL copy and it was good. I just got my copy of Another Code today. I'll get to it before too long.

Fire Emblem and Mario Wonder. Really need to get around to finishing the latter.

Been voting since I was 18 and have never received a summons. Husband did once, a few years ago, but nothing much came of it.

Started up two new ones: The Intern by Michele Campbell - fiction Icebound: Shipwrecked at the End of the World by Andrea Pitzer - nonfiction

I read Northwoods by Amy Pease over the last couple days. Debut crime novel by an APN, so that's pretty cool. It was enjoyable. Also gonna finish up And There Was Light by John Meacham today.

I could afford a new truck, but I like not having any debt and my truck is just about to hit 50k miles, so why spend a bunch of money?

That does sound familiar. We went through there a couple years ago driving up to see a friend in Fayetteville.

I don’t know what the deal is with Alma or what you’d even know it exists. Literally the only thing I know about it is Morgan Nick was kidnapped there and never found.

I don’t really understand part of that, but there are definitely brown immigrants doing most of the landscaping and such here.

I’ve never given it a thought. Don’t have one. If people use them in my neighborhood, I probably don’t notice any difference from the sound of mowing or whatever.

We've gotten a couple inches already. My neighborhood is full of steep hills and I just took my truck out to park past the hills so I can get to work tomorrow night. Made it fine, but shit, that wind and snow on my face in 10 degrees is brutal. Yet neighborhood kids are out sledding like nothing in the world bothers them.

Just move isn't a solution. There will always be people who cannot afford to do so and it's not like these coastal paradises are even affordable for the average person in a flyover state.

Brought my 3DS to work tonight and I’m in my little isolated cubby hole still sick. I’ll probably get some Fire Emblem in tonight once they’re all asleep.

Expecting snow here tomorrow and Monday and I have work Monday night. My truck does fine, though. Gonna be brutal cold, though. I just hope we don’t lose power because our provider is horrible here. But the generator is ready to go in case. And we have a gas fireplace.

The stores I saw during my trip definitely back that up. Nintendo ain't going anywhere.

Gotcha. Cosby has become a favorite of mine. Can't wait to see what his next will be.

I also started My Darkest Prayer by SA Cosby, @thewhyteboar, you loved this one, right? Only Cosby novel I haven't yet read.

Starting on a classic, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Been meaning to get to this one for years. I want to see the 2019 movie when I'm done.

He tested some of our oldest carts today, OoT and Star Fox and they were fine. Hopefully it's not a widespread issue at this point. This was the first time I'd booted up FE. It was one of the only games I haven't played yet in the series and I finally decided to get around to it.

Sooo, when I went to play this last night, game kept crashing right away. Apparently I had a corrupted cart? Anyone ever experienced this? @chakoo? Husband ran the cart on some verification app on his 3DS and it ran into issues immediately. I just said fuck it and downloaded a ROM because I wasn't paying $30 for another cart. He ran the cart on some program this morning and apparently got it fixed because it'll verify now. But it makes me paranoid of my other 3DS carts.

Just booked a flight to Atlanta in April and it’s a 737-900. I should be safe.

I don't think I liked the sequel quite as much as the first, but it was still good. Really excited for the finale this Spring, though.

Got my Rangers @ Braves tickets ordered for April 21. Excited!
