I gave my dad Ready Player One did Christmas. It’s not his style of book so I was nervous. But he’s only has like a 1/4 of it left! And he started it a few days ago! They are making a movie!

Fun fact. I am a bit ocd. It's bad with book series. I have to read them in order. So if I read book 1 and 2 and 3 comes out 6 months later, I have to reread the first 2. So by the time I got to the latest book published I never re read when the others came out.
But now I can read entire series without starting over a hundred times...

Putting on my flame retardant clothing...... I haven't read or watched anything HP. I did watch Fantastic Beasts though. I’ll don my flame retardant clothing to follow with... Fantastic beasts was just meh... it was almost boring.

RunsforWineandCarbs my fil would drive you bananas. He is perfectly fine not reading them in order. As in he’ll read them (as in any series) 3,5,2,4,1

I enjoyed HP, but I'm not at all shocked when other people couldn't get into it. The movies are really not that great IMO, but I watch them someday because it's quicker than reading the series again. We plan on reading the series with M when he's old enough, I have no desire to read it until then. I also think it's generational for a lot if people here. I was finishing high school when the first one or two came out, and read them right after the third came out when I was on winter break from college and really want doing anything.
Im reading Ready Player One finally, my H has been suggesting it for a while. Since I saw the preview when we went to see Star Wars I figure I better get on it. Being an 80s baby I love all the references.

I'm with @ampaints. I have read all the books once and as a whole haven't seen the movies. If DS is interested in that genre I will certainly encourage him to read but i don't plan to push it. I think ideas in college when the first book came out so I didn't grow up with the characters like some people did and I think most people who really loved the series did.

mommabakes, what does -35 even mean 😳😳😳 we need a will. I know it’d be a thing if me and D both died with my parents and his parents. Even though we’ve both told everyone who would get N. Good for you getting on track! We’ve also been hemorrhaging $$ because of the House... our 5 year is next year and we want to go back to Jamaica or somewhere warm!

WTF Florida - snow? snow flurries? schools closed in the panhandle because it's too cold? get your act together. It's going to be 31° overnight where I live. In the scheme of things, I understand that's not -35° like mommabakes or -10000000 and 10° for CestLaVie but this is beyond stupid cold for me.

AND i side eyed the news super hard when I heard they were closing schools because it's "too cold" up in the panhandle. I was like is there a snow storm? My h was like it's just cold. My exact response was, haven't they heard of dressing in layers and this thing called heat? Too cold = 30°.
Am I being insensitive? I mean do you northerners close schools at 30°?

RunsforWineandCarbs we have had “cold days” instead of “snow days” but that’s when it’s so cold you can get hypothermia when being outside for a short amount of time.

I’m right with flippinchica and @ampaints on HP. Definitely seems like one of those late x/ early millennial vs solid millennial things.

So... if you found a house that was beautiful, great location, great school, all newly renovated, great price, and checks a lot of wish list items...........
but you found out someone was murdered in it...
Would you still consider it?

Would you still consider it? Like what kind of a murder? I feel like I would need to know that first. Like suffocating someone with a pillow? Or gruesome stabbing and torture? I'm not sure why that makes a difference for me, but I think it would. Lol

Betweenthelines, yes, i'd want all the deets because that'd be a great story to tell all of your guests when they visit you in your new house. so to answer your question, no, it wouldn't bother me.

Betweenthelines , probably. I would want to know all the details though. Please to share once you find out what happened! ETA: I see the spoiler. Would buy.

Betweenthelines, is it wrong of me to say NBD? I mean NBD to that being the murder and wanting the house. BD to that family - no one deserves that and it is sad.

Ok. we're going to see the house toinght at 7:15. I'm going into it cautiously. My co-worker (a male) was all "oh man, that's really creepy, idk if I could live there" bla bla.
H and I are like... well.. we could use that to our advantage when making an offer...

Betweenthelines, so my honest take on it is shit happens. and it happens everywhere. I wouldn't not buy a house because a murder took place. once. it's not the houses fault a murder took place there. I mean, the murder could have happened anywhere. Are you going to stop driving down your street because a DUI killed someone on that street? no, you're not.
