#1: How are you holding up? I'm glad to see you back online, but I'm still concerned. Because I'm a mother hen by nature.

Tomorrow is the visitation and funeral. I've had detached objectivity for the last week.

Mom had put half down on a new furnace. It's getting installed Monday morning. Meeting with lawyers that afternoon.

She had no will and had done no other estate/funeral planning. I'm...dealing...

But tomorrow is going to be rough.

Ugh! That was my mom. And she KNEW better. Sorry for what you are going through.

Because you think you could do a better job than our national team, and you would be absolutely right.

HA!!!

I'm having a rough day.

It's the anniversary of my dad's death. The thirteenth to be precise. We'd been out late at an inauguration party celebrating President Obama, and I had maybe three hours of sleep before I got the phone call that he'd been lost at sea. And last month was the fifteenth anniversary of our eldest son's death. So this winter has been hard. I almost posted an old photo of the two of them together on FB this morning, and didn't, because I still can't look at my son's pictures.

And I ran the numbers for the month after getting notice about WW's pay from the school district, and after taxes, well, unemployment was better. And no more advance child tax credit benefits. Things are going to suck for a while yet.

I can't take many more days like this.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully life improves sooner than later.

I've had a bad day. It's not going to get better for some time. I'm probably going to be offline a bit.

** spoiler omitted **

~curse words~ DAMN!!! I am so sorry to hear that. It does suck big time. And it is never easy loosing a loved one.

~screams like a little girl~ Don't sneak up on me like that!

You're still around? I'd thought you'd succumbed to the cat allergies years ago. And either way, considering I'm officially middle-aged now, I was sure you'd be too elderly to remember me...

Speak up! I can't hear very good! You young whipper snappers! Who are you again?

edit - I shall call you soon(ish).

Arifureta season two has started!!!

Good luck and may it be all that you hope that it may be!

The forums are still too long. Kaeyoss' baby is all gwowed up. They started this nonsense years ago when somebody posted that the forums were too long and we posted single words of a sentence to prove them right. Now it is on thread 6, and so incredibly impossible to ever parse.

This forum is WAY too long.

I'm still undecided as to which of the following is true about FaWtL:

1) It is in fact a PBP that went off the rails.
or
2) It is all done by a single person in an attempt to mess with everyone else in the world.

Yes.

Ok. Beware of chicken on royalroad.com is freaking awesome. It took me a while to get to it but it was worth it.

This is my description of it. Isekai Chinese cultivation and martial arts meets Stardew valley. Oh, and there is a sentient rooster too.

A woman and man are staying in a manger, for there is no room for them in the inn. The woman gives birth to a beautiful baby boy. Shortly thereafter, three wise men enter bearing gifts. The tallest one hits his head on the low door frame and exclaims "Jesus Christ!"

Mary turns to her husband and says "Quick, Joseph, write that down! It's so much better than 'Kevin'."

~sad sigh~ Insulting but true.

Freehold DM I hope that you get better soon, you sicko!

Can't be my birthday without there being an adventure.

Friend of mine who dropped off the map tested positive for COVID. Been in the hospital for a week. Went to pick her up after covid proofing car as noone could pick her up. She is home with her family now. I am eating a wagyu steakand mashed potatoes and salad and I am veereeeeeeery drunk rn. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I feel your pain. My brother and his family have COVID19. Luck for them, they are vaccinated. It annoyed my brother more that he couldn't go to the gym but he does know better. Sort of.

So in other news, we are all more-or-less okay, but were in a serious car accident today. A kid who shouldn't have been driving ran a red light and hit us square in the side at full speed. He was entirely fine, but felt horrible about it. I really worry about him and how this will affect his future. Poor guy.

Firedove is coherent and seems to be doing reasonably well, but has a pelvic fracture. The boys are doing relatively well, though Youngest had to get three stitches on his face and the Eldest had to briefly get an IV to get scanned (the scans revealed no real problems).

Our kids currently staying at neighbors and doing well; Firedove is in the hospital for at least the weekend; we will see about surgery or not (it's not currently known). I'm home and told to sleep, but it's difficult. Don't know how available I'll be for a bit as a result. If you're the praying type, please do.

Love you all!

Ouch! That sucks! May you, the kids, and Lady Firedove get better soon.

"How do you tell if a mushroom is poisonous or not?"

"Well, the easiest way is this: If it is in a grocery store, it's not poisonous."

This is a repeat, but it still fits.

All mushrooms are edible. Some are only edible once.

For all of you hyponcondriacs out there check out the "This Podcast Will Kill You" podcast.

Ha!!!

"Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who DO study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."

Or what the definition of a Cassandra complex is.

Happy birthday Feros.

Dratted wallet! Always wanting me to earn money to pay bills and all that other jazz. Oh well. At least the overtime that I am about to work is easy. Now shall I listen to music, a podcast, or an audio book?

Oh, and good morning everyone!!!

edit - AND I have plenty of sweet tea so a sugar high will help out with work.

Sad but understandable NH. Sorry for your loss ahead of time.

Have fun at the concert NH. - mumbles "you lucky mumble mumble" -

Off so see Mystery Science Theater 3000 live tonight with the wife, hope it is good.

Have fun!!!

*gets dressed*

- whistles and holds out dollar Bill's- Shake it!!!

Get well Orthos!!!

Tiny T-Rex had his first Mcrib. Cycle of life and whatnot.

1600 days sober. No McRibs.

Gratz!!!

Good luck Orthos, Scint, Ebon, and co.

I generally get my vacation in spurts between the middle of December until the the beginning of April.

Snow way!

That is why I am taking my vacation instead of trying to transfer it over to the next year.

Hey there TOZ. How are you both doing?

Three more days until my two week vacation. A vacation which nothing much will happen due to being broke. Oh well. Housework, playing video games, reading, watching TV, and hitting the nearby state parks. Could be worse. ~looks outside~ Oh. Right. Mowing the yard. Cutting down the trees that are growing before they get too big.

Glad to hear that Tact. But you are still to blame, you Scapelion.

The empty brain

Yay! Sharoth gets cookies.

Doubtful. You are the one that managed, somehow, to get your blame time deferred until 2022. Who did you bribe? I want answers!!!

Yes. It is all my fault.

Wait your turn! There is enough blame to go around!

No eating the goats! No! Bad Tact! BAD!!! Bad scapelion!

Consider this my retirement.

It's been fun, later b~@!$es!!

I don't blame you.

Freehold DM, season 4 of Young Justice is now on HBO Max. Just wanted to let you know.

One other thing, get used to wearing both eye protection and a facemask. Some of the places that you will end up working at are NASTY. Your eyes and lungs will appreciate you guarding them. Good ear protection is also a must. And a good pair of gloves.

After a long time waffling and thinking about it, I finally bit the bullet and decided to sign up for a trade school. I'm gonna study to be an Electrical Technician and have an apprenticeship once I'm out of class. The institute is pretty above board and has hundreds of great reviews so I'm pretty excited. It's probably the biggest single decision I've ever made in my life.

Good luck! Pick up Ugly’s Electrical References, start to build up your own personal tool set, and YouTube and Google are your friends. Also, take good notes. You will thank yourself for it.

NobodysHome: So, I'm assuming you don't need any help on your homework?

Impus Minor: Yes, I do!
NH: But you can't be having any trouble! You're doing complex numbers!
IM: Dad! They're complex! It's right in the name!

He's got me there.

i see.

Like I said...

Naked

Rampage!!!

Naked REDNECK RAMPAGE!!!

~sad sigh~ That is so wrong. Here you are...

NAKED REDNECK RAMPAGE!!!

NH: A bad part or a good part?
IM: Oh, a bad part! But the house is right across from a police station, so if there's any trouble it'll be OK! Oh, and instead of starting at 2:30 pm, it's starting at 9:00 pm!

Gee... a late-night house party in a lower-tier* area of Oakland with a bunch of suburbanites in their early twenties abusing substances. What can possibly go wrong?

So, I went over signs to watch for, went over when it was time to get the heck of out there, and I'm letting him go anyway.

Because kids have to be free and have to learn on their own.

The entirety of the UK?

LOL. I was wondering whether you'd pipe up. On this side of the pond we get the "Skewd News", and it really does make every country outside of the U.S. sound like a Socialist H***hole o'Doom.

Just poking fun.

That's OK - from a superficial reading of our mainstream media, it'd be easy to assume that the US is entirely populated with angry, rotund Caucasian men with tiny beards either shooting people or threatening to do so (because it's their job, or just for a hobby), popular entertainers, and blonde women with fabulous hair who like crystals very much and are scared of vaccines...

So you have been to the South? You poor thing.

Thanks for the heads up on season 4 dropping!

Damn it! Our local Baron has just raised taxes and the weather has turned for the worse. My crop will be ruined!!! Plus the plague is coming. This "fantasy" world sucks!

Just wait until you find out that the Baron is actually a weather-wizard and has caused the inclement weather in order to destroy all the crops, thus ensuring that you and all the other farmers will be unable to pay your taxes, allowing him to seize all your lands, homes, and other properties as well as placing you and your family into "indentured servitude" (essentially slavery), all so that he can claim an even larger share of the profits from the land. And, of course, the plague is a myth. Just rumors being spread so that he can enforce strict laws preventing you and your neighbors from being able to gather together and plot against him.

Curse this feudal society that I have been (re)born into!!!

It's quiet.

Too quiet.
