Due to the change in DST, ToT is now in the afternoon (for a little while at least).
Itâs the only part of DST that I appreciate.
But you need the can to shape the rice.
Reminds me, when I was young I went to work with a friend, picking up rocks at a construction site with his grandfather. Lunch time came, and he opened a can of SPAM, grabbed a fork and ate the whole thing. I think it was that and a piece of fruit, that was his lunch.
And it took them forever to move it from the last Sunday in October to the First Sunday in November. Seemed like they moved the spring date once or twice while leaving the fall date alone.
And of course, its even worse if you have some electronics that has it programmed in from before the changes.
My official Parenting Plan refers to âHalloween / Beggars Nightâ, but Iâd never heard of Beggars Night before getting divorced with a kiddo. Now I know what it means.
Yeah, my vcr hasnât had the correct time since the HWBush Administration.
Does being divorced, having a kid, or âbeing divorced and having a kid â have anything to do with your new found knowledge or are they just life-reference points? âŚkind of like how Iâll always remember that the Brewers went to the World Series in 1982 because thatâs the year we moved to MN.
As I mentioned , itâs in the parenting plan required to be filed with the state.
Thereâs a list of holidays and you select which ones the child observes (we observe Thanksgiving and Christmas, but not Diwali or Hanukkah, for example) and the option to add ones not listed. And which years the child is with which parent. Holidays override normal parenting time stuff. Like for example I get Mini Me every Thursday but since itâs her dadâs year for Halloween, I am sans Mini Me right now, despite today being Thursday.
But the choice for Halloween in the Parenting Plan document was actually âHalloween / Beggarâs Nightâ. Seeing it in the list that way was my first exposure to the term âBeggarâs Nightâ.
So yes, because âdivorced with kidâ.
Can you tick all of the above so your kid can have lots of holidays? (signed, someoneâs kid).
Heh⌠it just dictates parenting time and in most cases they alternate years other than Motherâs Day & Fatherâs Day.
So I mean yeah we could each get Mini Me every other Diwali but that just makes it more complicated to keep track. Thereâs no real incentive to add holidays that you donât actually celebrate unless you thrive on chaos.
Thereâs no obligation to actually give your kid gifts on the holiday.
I guess if parents were different religions then the Jewish parent gets the kid for the first night of Hannukah & Passover every year and the Christian parent gets the kid for Christmas & Easter and you still alternate Halloween & Thanksgiving or whatever makes sense (to the parents, not JD Vance).
So, when I order spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, and spam - I have options?
Itâs a fun little museum - Iâve been there a few times. Make sure to get a picture with Spammy!
The apostrophe in âHalloweâenâ is actually the original spelling of the word. It reflects the wordâs origins as a contraction of âAll Hallowsâ Evening,â or the eve before All Saintsâ Day. Over time, âAll Hallowsâ Eveâ was shortened to âHalloweâen,â with the apostrophe marking the omission of the âvâ in âeven.â
Though the apostrophe has largely fallen out of use and most people spell it as âHalloweenâ today, some people still use the traditional spelling.
Today I learned Germany has a problem with raccoons, and a butcher decided to start making sausages with their meat.
Inspired by Sweeney Todd?

The phrase âblow smoke up oneâs â comes from the long discredited practice of tobacco smoke enemas.
The fine for not voting in a federal election is A$20 (if you pay on the first notice), and you can also provide a âvalid excuseâ such as illness, travel, and religion.
