I love the anime Fairy Tail. It has some amazing story arcs if you can handle the very silly episodes. Of course the series as a whole feels like a modified D & D game with the players being the "main" characters.

Damn. Mom tested positive for COVID.

Here's hoping to mild symptoms and a swift recovery. She's vaccinated I hope?

*sigh* of course she isn't.

We have gotten into serious arguments about vaccination for quite some time now. As she has used COVID as an excuse to live out her lifelong dream of being a shut in hikikomori hermit, I was a little less worried that she would be exposed to COVID, but it seemed her double masking and goggles wearing didn't protect her after all.

Her symptoms are mild thus far, a fever she had broke, and she is dealing with some digestive issues and general blah feeling. No loss of taste although some loss of appetite. She has grown more crotchety since her acquistion of COVID, but that's not exactly a surprise. I'll be checking on her on the way home from work at a distance and will do some extra shopping for her if necessary.

May she get better soon.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Finally caught up. ~looks up and screams~ STOP SCARING ME!!! Both of you! And that means Tact and CY!!!

Remind them of the withdraw action, if it's available in the ruleset (it is in PF1, not sure about PF2 or 5E).

#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.

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).

Ugh! On one hand I love the books. OTOH it would have to be one book a season to meet my expectations.

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.

BAH HUMBUG!!! Get to work and I don't care what happens to Tiny Tim.

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.

Sarah J Maas's Throne of Glass series is on sale for $6 today. I have enjoyed the series.

That is all eight books for $6. I hope that someone else enjoys the series like I have.

Also, the audiobooks are pretty good too.

Maybe so, Sharoth, but electric hybrid vehicles are the Future of personal transportation, nonetheless.

I vote to go back to the steam(punk) age.

Wow... Prions are nasty!

"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.

Also happy belated Thanksgiving.

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

YES!!! Naked history! So easy a caveman could do it!

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.

Good luck Eve!

Happy birthday Feros.

Brake it up everyone. Brake it up.

- saving throw failed- Yes masters, here are your treats.

My dogs are trying to use some form of mind control on me. I keep hearing "give us treats " in my head. What do I do?

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

My guess is to keep the ignorant ignorant for longer while the people who profit off of this mess make more profit. OR things are worse. Much worse and they don't want a panic. IMHO we are ramping up to more than +3.0 degrees warmer. Plus there are plenty of feedback loops that have been tripped or are about to trip that will accelerate things. I hope that I am wrong. I really do.

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!!!
