Keep a musical instrument nearby. I have an acoustic guitar an arms length away. That might not work for you due to your lap dog. A harmonica or jaw harp would work better
No candy for you!
Maybe meet them half way and sit on the porch and hand out candy? I used to go to my parent’s house to help them hand out candy and I noticed it took a bit of effort for the smaller kids climb the stairs. There’s no railing and knowing how dangerously slick their steps got if they were damp, i started sitting at the bottom to hand out candy.
It seems trick or treating isn’t as popular with the kids as it used to be. Ironically, it seems more popular than ever with adults. Some houses I’ve seen look like they must rent a storage unit to keep all the decorations they put up. We used to fill a set of dad’s old clothes with leaves, splap a plastic punkin on top for a head and call it a day
Doing things you don’t want to do is part of being an adult. It may sound silly but my method is to write a list of what needs to be done. I feel a little pleasure every time I cross something off
No regrets
Embrace it. Buy yourself a pair of skis and suddenly it’ll never snow enough
It changes daily. Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Thanks for asking
Their taste in music. Sorry but if Pink Floyd is your favorite band i have to assume you’re boring
Of course not i don’t talk with my mouth full. I was raised right
If there is still a camera shop near you, It might be worth seeing what used gear they have. The one near me has cheap kit lenses, look for a used telephoto lens and a DSLR camera body. You can take fine pictures with old gear, you’re not looking to be on Sports Illustrated. YouTube has plenty of instructional videos for every make and model of camera. More knowledge will get you better results than top of the line gear.
Edit: I just looked at the used gear at B&H website, you can find a body and lens there for $200
Started a savings account
I’ll never forget my dad bought a used Renault Alliance because he saw an old Consumer Reports magazine that had it as “car of the year”. What he didn’t see was the article where they retracted the title. It was a money pit
The trick is to not think out loud
I hate buying something online then I begin seeing ads for it
I’ve heard this for my whole life. Oil runs out in X years, until they develop affordable ways to dig deeper and get at more
I was going to say black licorice
