@coliver Garage Sales! Usually can find an old radio
-
and much cheaper than the $20 or $30 the baby stores want for their white noise makers. We got one at our shower and I think it lasted maybe 3 or 4 months then died. Looked a replacement, said forget it and put a clock radio tuned to static in my older ones room at the time. For the younger one didn't even bother with a white noise maker and just did a radio from the get go.

That's pretty much what it was. Emilia is used to white noise so without it she kept startling herself awake. Normally she wakes up at ~3AM and goes immediately back to bed after a feeding. Last night she was up ~every 10 minutes.
WIth my boys, battery powered radio on static got us through some overnight power outages. Being an Amateur Radio nut, it was easy to just set one of my ham radios to an unused frequency and I have enough batteries to go all night.
That's a good idea. Need to find a radio though.
My Dad has my Grampa's old ham radio with a built in amp of questionable legality, lol. Dang thing dims the lights in the neighbor's house... and I used to be able to hear grampa over our TV set half a mile away when I was a kid, lol.

That is one hell of an amp. LOL

Insurance company said that it takes forever to get a police report from New Jersey. Nothing has been posted yet but I'm going to try to get it myself to expedite the process. Very sad today.

Yes, quite. It was the old tube style, I think. I know the ham radio is. Pops even was able to grab Gramp's call sign since he was a family member. Gramps did a lot of stuff with the military on it. I'll never forget watching him do that... You could walk into his radio room and hold up a florescent light and it would come on every time he keyed the mic, lol.

Didn't have power for 7 hours last night, didn't come back on until I needed to get up for work... whole town was out. We heard a chainsaw going at ~3 this morning so we assume a tree fell on the lines. We didn't sleep much between the lack of white noise and the heat.
Man that sucks. I have a CPAP so for me that would have been a whole night sitting up in the dark.

I can't even safely attempt falling asleep.

@scottalanmiller Noooo! Still havent seen an episode of this show. If it has zombies as the main thing, i avoid it. Games, movies, tv shows. Thought i was the only one, looks like i might be now.
Nah, I watched the first 3 episodes that my buddy was in, then it lost me (because plot holes).

Finally gave in to peer pressure. Watching The Walking Dead
I watched the first two seasons. The comics were much better.

So far, up to around episode five and it's "meh".

Did not read them but the game is WAY better. better story, better pacing, way more intense.

Can I plug my guitar into that amp?

What episodes is your buddy in and how is he identified?

The whole appeal to me was to be able to say "hey look! It's Charles!!!" He was even on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. But the show kinda sucks.

He's a zombie in the first 2 or 3 episodes. Tall, skinny ginger zombie. The guy on the far left.

Telltale has shown time and again that they are much better story tellers then the original creators. The first game had a much better story and pacing then the comics had as well.

he made it onto the cover of entertainment weekly? That's even better than "just being on the show."

another vendor mentioned to me how visibly busier ML is than some other, pretty busy site. Very encouraging.
