pretty sure it was an accident, they only clipped it, but they sure as hell didn't stick around to admit they were responsible
might have been driving drunk, who knows

Be careful with your toothache and the holiday. My sweetie had a toothache one year around the 4th of July. He kept putting off going to the dentist and wouldn't you know that it hit the unbearable point ON July 4th. There was only one dentist open in town on the holiday and they charge twice as much as regular dentist. The waiting room was full of people with money in hand, it was clear he knew that he would have a line of desperate people on the holiday. Don't blow it off and let it ruin your Thanksgiving (and your xmas because you'll be broke).

It's sweet then? I mean is it like apple pie with a ton of sugar in it?
at first I thought there was a comma missing and it should have been "pork rind, flour crust" i.e. something made with animal fat, but now I'm not so sure

I mean, it's a sweet flavor, but the version I made has very little sugar except what's naturally in the pumpkin and the cream I put in (maybe 48g of carb in the whole pie, where most have that amount in a single slice). But yes, the pork rind crust is actually ground up pork rinds with butter to hold it together and cinnamon/sweetener to flavor it. Don't let tbob dissaude you, it's among the most delicious desserts known to man.

Yeah it's like the saltiest, greasiest pie crust imaginable in my head. And I really lovehate it.
What surprised me was how impossible it was to identify the crust for what it was unless you knew beforehand. I brought some to my girlfriend's family this weekend and her mom couldn't believe the main crust ingredient. A little bit more moisture in it than with flour obviously, but other than that it was actually really close to a graham cracker crust. Works a little better for chilled pies like cheesecake and peanut butter, but also did pretty well with pumpkin.

Anything that has anything to do with pork rinds just grosses me out. I have family in the south and they love pork rinds, and they gross me out, so I associate pork rinds with them and their grossness.
To be fair I really don't care for pork rinds either - by themselves. They just happen to make a very good zero-carb breading for chicken and flour for donuts/crusts. And I really can't tell what it's made of most of the time, if it's seasoned right.

can't see myself throwing down a pumpkin pie though, not a huge fan of squash type vegetables ... only really ever roasted them or thrown them in stews with a load of beer
I made a pumpkin soup with the leftover pumpkin from that pie, basically just the pumpkin, heavy cream, water to thin it out, and spices. Super good for a leftovers dish.

hah they're replacing my fence, didn't bother knocking at the front door, just drove round the back and announced themselves by putting a crowbar through the old fence
quite an entrance

sounds like one hell of a way to prank someone too.
"Hmmm yes, I need a fence redone at <so-and-so address>. Right away please, thanks.
The way the HOA does the fences around here is so strange. All the houses have 6ft wooden fences separating the backyards, and each 8ft section of fence alternates the direction that it faces. If the section faces your property, then you are responsible for it. If it faces your neighbors property, then they are responsible for it. So if you want to replace the fence you have to work it out with your neighbor about how much each of you are responsible for. What happens if your neighbor doesn't have any money, or if they don't want to replace the fence? Yuck.
