Skyrim!
You haven't lived until you've been plastered across a scenic waterfall by an angry giant while you were fighting a dragon, two frostbite spiders and a f%%&ing saber cat.
Wait! What's the opposite of live? Whatever that is.
The point is, it's a really fun game.

I feel like Freehold would be the best wingman ever. Even though I am not single, he pointed out that I should not be looking at man-bun dude.
Ugh, man buns.
I am not into dudes but if I was, I wouldn't be into dudes with man buns.Though I kind of dig them on women sometimes.
During my freshman year in college, one of my classmates was too hungover to get himself to the physics final exam. So we took him there, sat him in a chair, gave him a couple of pencils and a slide rule (this was before electronic calculators) and left him to it.
He got an A. :-)
That's pretty damned funny!
So, the Road Captain calls me and tells me that the new guard called off, and ask if the morning guard can come in. The morning guard told me that he already made plans for tomorrow, since he expected to be off. The company is supposed to have floaters for this sort of situation, but doesn't. So, guess who's going to have a 19-hour shift tomorrow. *sigh* I'm going to lose my Wednesday day off for this. Did I tell anyone recently how I hate this f&@~ing job?Aww, man. I'm really sorry. I've had s****y jobs like this, too. I hope you find something better soon.
Yeah I left E&Y after a few 33 hour long days and zero appreciation.
My next job sucked too but the one I am in now has been pretty good. It's the rest of life that's been the problem :-). Well really just marriage that's been the problem but that's almost over now too!
To answer everyone's question, No he did not. He was shot multiple times and bled out. They caught the people responsible (at least that's the word right now) But mostly it's the most senseless thing to happen to me (adjacently at least) in quite some time.
That's terrible, very sorry to hear that Tom, puts life in perspective to hear something like that to be certain.
*sigh*
I'm better, I'm just overwhelmed with back chores right now. I need to clean my apartment, fold my laundry, play with my pooch.
Plus, it is crazy at work, like seriously. They just confirmed a whole new set of commissioners, and now I've been put forward as a possible assistant to one of the incoming five. Yikes.
Great stuff, working at the highest levels of an important agency, but FFS! I need to breathe! LOL
You will get used to it at some point, just an acclimation period in a new job especially with all the reading and writing involved. :-)
Heads up for anyone with a copy of the Red Hand of Doom: At this point in time it seems to be a hot collectible item. I sold mine very quickly for $150. I estimate $200-250 could work.
One of the few 3.5 books I don't have...
Conway's been growing for a while now, hasn't it?I moved here in 1994. It's grown tremendously since then. It sort of outgrew the infrastructure because it couldn't keep up with the increasing population. The latest change has been to put in traffic circles all over town to replace stop lights. They do speed up traffic flow but lordy, no one knows how to navigate them.
What were the city planners from New Jersey or something?
~sighs~ This is going to be a long six months or so. Mom had three seizures because of the tumors. Georgia law says (and I agree) that she can't drive for six months after her last seizure. Three guesses who will be doing most of the driving for mom?
On the plus side, her first radiation treatment is today at 8:30 am.
Good luck to her.
My grandfather had cancer and they gave him 6 months to live, he made it 4 years and he was in his late 70's at the time.
Sounds like your Mom beat it before, hopefully she will do so again!
I HAVE JUST MADE MY FINAL STUDENT LOAN PAYMENT!
SCREW YOU SALLIE MAE AND NELNET! I'M FREE! I'M FREE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Congrats, I only have about 11 years to go. Wheee.....
Thanks guys. Yes was my friend, but I think my heart of hearts, she was EVERYONE'S friend, especially to humans. And to my brother Jack.
She was family and still will be.
Sorry to hear that, Dogs are so wonderful it's always terrible when they pass.
I ordered her a t-shirt that says,"Master has given Dobby a Diploma, Dobby is FREE!"
Hah, great shirt!
Hi all. I’m not doing a very good job of keeping up. If you are in/running a game I’m in, I’m sorry. I’m going to try and get my s@## together this weekend for the Nth time
Be sure to wear gloves.
Hey Patrick hope all is going well. Should try and catch up in the real world.

So I'm okay. I'm still pensive but hopeful that I'll get pass this feeling about my brother's dog...and also kind of my dog.
I would help if MY dog would sleep on my bed...but he feels unwanted thanks to my mom's dog keep trying to get my attention.

The hurt will pass but the love will remain.
Yep. It will pass faster once I kill some giants in Giantslayer I think.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
They did that once...they sent me back here.
From the looks of things, absolutely nothing!
It's quiet...too quiet.
<.<
>.>
Don't read any news feeds (or watch any factual news programming of any sort) and today will remain desirably quiescent.
If you do decide to do so, don't say I didn't warn you. ;)
I didn't watch new feeds or anything, but I am looking forward to doing some giant killing tomorrow.

Savage Tide didn't happen. Two players are super busy and couldn't make it, and I ended up passing out for a couple hours myself after a pretty packed morning of yardwork and housework.
Going to spend the later parts of the day on other videogames, mainly NWN and leveling up my Malenti Sahuagin with Scint's Leanan Sidhe and starting our scheme of infiltrating the server's elf community for lulz and evil.

DOOO EEEET!! animate the corpses into exploding skellies for added amusement value. :D

Mad,
I had to spend my ONLY usage of Spell Kenning on Water breathing thank you for the party so we could get a shiny, some 1 to 2 ton worth of Mithril disk that had an ancient prayer to Minderhal that we needed. Also I ALMOST got choked out by a merrow and died if not for my raging song. But at least we got that AND I didn't get eaten by the giant gar, or later on, a carnivous plant that ate the Paladin, the Warpriest (for the second time in a combat!) and the Barbarian.
So...yeah that was today's session of Giantslayer.

When you figure out how to do that, ...
Tell me how! :P
Hope all is well-busy Pat! Enjoy what little sanity time you do have! :D

Nice to see you again Pa,.... and he's gone. O_o
So once again, the universe decides to kick me in the balls.
Back in 2015, after I had lost my beloved dog Malcolm, I wasn't sure I'd ever find a dog I'd open my heart to again. But after giving it a go in September, Mom and I went out to find a new dog. We went to the local animal shelter, looking for another border collie. We didn't find the one that my mom heard about. What we did find was a scrawny, scared, and obviously much older dog they called Jukke. We spent some time with him...and while I wasn't enamored with him, I was willing to give him a home, especially because older dogs like him are the ones that get euthanized first. First though, Mom and I agreed we needed to change his name. So with a simple substitution, Jukke became Duke.
For three years, we fed him, walked him, and loved him...and in the process he loved me more than my mom. I still don't know why but he trusted me more than other men or even other people. But I took care of him, held him when he was scared, and let him onto my lap and my bed. I also tried to help him when I knew he wasn't right, especially because later on we learned he had congenital defect, a laryngeal paralysis that often made it hard for him to breathe when it was warm/hot and/or humid. But he still soldiered through and so did we.
This past Tuesday night, we had a huge thunderstorm. I had tried before to take him and Galway (our newest dog rescue) out but with little success. He was SO scared he was shaking...and didn't stop shaking even while he was in my bed with me. But he did. He stopped, and we both fell asleep.
I awoke around 4:30 am to a thump...and a sight that even now still haunts me. Duke, his eye wide open, his mouth opening and closing in rapid succession, along with his legs moving back and forth and his tail thumping a mile a minute. I knew he was in trouble. I just didn't know what else to do...other than put my hand on his chest and feel his heart beat. It was very fast, too fast probably.
But he stopped making so many spasms...and then suddenly he voided his bladder. I ran upstairs to get Mom, because I wasn't sure what to do next. I came back down the stairs after I told her, and found him not breathing. While I had some training, I admit, Dog CPR didn't seem to help. And so...he died.
It's killing me a little to see this happen again, just after my brother's dog Concho... but at the same time I'm trying to remind myself he didn't suffer...and he certainly knew he was loved.
I just wish...I had done more even if I did all I could.

I am sorry about your loss, Thomas. It hurts every time.
It does..but some times the hurt is worse when you don't expect it...
Lord knows I thought I had a few more good years with him. Not many but more than 3...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Oh no, Thomas. I'm sitting here with tears in my own eyes after reading about Duke. You are right, he was loved and perhaps was given three years longer than he'd have gotten in the pound. I really can't say anything that would possibly comfort you at this time. Just remember you'll always carry the love he had for you in your heart.
=(

Oh man I am so sorry Tom.
Thanks guys... I just wish I could stop the hurt some more...but I know it won't ever fade. Just be less present...
John,
It is. I mean with Concho...she was kind of on borrowed time. It was clear to me that might happen this year... but I wasn't ready for it any more than my brother Jack was.
This though...this is what we call a kick in the balls by the universe...and while I'm still angry, upset and sad...I'm at least coming to terms with the fact, Duke had a good life with us. I don't think he'd want it any other way.
