I have plenty of black and orange filament, and the &#8216;silly things&#8217; have already started rolling off the printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been a minute since Rori has asked for anything 3D printed, there for a while I was printing several things for her, every day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once she sees a couple Halloween things she will get back into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halloween is her favorite holiday, she loves spooky (Not scary) things and has so much fun with it.  In fact just today, we lost a bat hair clip after gymnastics, it &#8216;popped&#8217; off her water bottle and flew into a pine tree.  We searched and searched and could not find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I saw it fly off from the corner of my eye and heard it fly, but with all the pine needles and crap around the bottom of the tree &#8211; no luck finding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was not happy with Papa for that.  Dang it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WoW (Words of Wisdom): Day 42 \u2013 Self control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most practical ways to eliminate a bad habit is to reduce exposure to the cue that causes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can\u2019t seem to get any work done, leave your phone in another room for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re continually feeling like you\u2019re not enough, stop following social media accounts that trigger jealousy and envy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re wasting too much time watching television, move the TV out of the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re spending too much money on electronics, quit reading reviews of the latest tech gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re playing too many video games, unplug the console and put it in a closet after each use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This practice is an inversion of the 1st Law of Behavior Change. Rather than make it obvious, you can make it invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove a single cue and the entire habit often fades away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Self-control is a short-term strategy, not a long-term one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it is Halloween season, time to get the 3D printer churning out some Halloween treats!
