Lately however I've been getting a bit annoyed with the match-maker, since I usually drop as a pair with my friend - thus it only puts us against teams and therefore usually larger teams. Combine this with me being a mediocre player, playing lights/mediums that aren't the meta, or trying to grind up catapults - I've been losing alot.... which is super frustrating, especially since the rewards are terrible for losing compared to winning.
How did I miss this?!?!?
I am not on MWO, but I am a fan of Mechwarrior. Considering playing some MW3 to get past this funk.

Looks like my phone just died. No reason, no explanation, just turned off and won't go past the Samsung logo when I take the battery back out and put it back in. Needless to say, after everything that happened today, where the place I was going to this weekend for a special training on mental health first aid certification said they couldn't find the money order I sent them and so can't give me my certification, and my second job had some kind of error or glitch where they said I didn't work Pride weekend and so didn't pay me either in full or at all(still not sure which), this is...not a good day. Trying to keep it together and not put my fist through something or someONE and I am succeeding. But this is a lot of bad luck for one day.
I don't know who that second person is.

Just did something financially stupid, but cool. A friend of mine works at a used bookstore (you can probably see where this is going), and posted on FB from work that he'd gotten some really old D&D books into the shop. Since the bookstore is only a few blocks away from my apartment, I went to check it out, and discovered that the books in question were a sixth printing of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook and a first printing of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide. Ended up buying them, too, at $10 apiece. Looks like I'm not going to be eating for the next week.

Thanks to the glitch with the second job, I don't even have enough for THAT.
I know you said work had been slowing down or just plain strange of late, did something else happen to make you want booze?
No, not really. It is more like sympathy booze :) Right now, I am drinking Bailey's on the rocks in your honor.

Alas, it's the last of my Bailey's. I will need another bottle. I didn't realize I was so near the end of it. It's almost sad...

The kidlet has been kinda down lately so today we just did things that were fun for him. Mini golf, tacos for dinner, and plenty of Mass Effect time (he thinks watching me play Mass Effect is better than watching tv...go figure). He gets so lonely during summer break, and with the karate school being closed for art fair last week he hasn't been around people other than me for too many days. Hopefully today helped. Well, that and karate tomorrow evening. Hanging out with other kids should help a lot. :)

I used to love spinach as a kid. Now I can't stand it. I've even tried it lightly sauteed in bacon grease and still could barely choke it down. Don't know when I last had kale, but leafy greens (vegetables in general, really) aren't on my list of favorite foods. I think my favorite vegetable would have to be green beans when cooked properly. By that I mean: fry up some bacon and onion in a pan, dump in the can of green beans (with juice) ,or use fresh beans and add some water, add a good bit of pepper, cover and let simmer until the beans are just cooked through. Eat it all up, and then drink the yummy liquid.
And now I want some.

Also, any Robotech fans here may like to know about this Kickstarter to fund a pilot episode for, hopefully, a new series to continue the story. I would really like to see it succeed, but right now it looks kinda doubtful.

When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes.

Good morning FaWtL folk. Hope everyone is doing well and has a good day ahead of them. It's Thursday, nearly the end of the "typical" working week. Can't come soon enough. Weather is a bit brighter today, the shades are back out, though I'm still carrying my brolly around. Better safe than sorry, I say.

Relatedly, Steam also gives out coupons every so often, so I thought I'd also list them too, in case anyone would be interested in availing of those. I'll probably add them to a new tab on the Google Doc later, but I can't access it at work, so I'll put them here for now.

Is Bailey's difficult to get in the States? Cause, if so, there is a small Irish FaWtL division now. :P

Sounds like a really entertaining few days LordSynos. The weather here is lovely too though my French pal took the mickey since I brought a jacket.
Hopefully. :) No idea what I'll play in Runelords yet, a bit inspired for a grappler at the moment, but there's mostly newer players, so maybe a Bard supporter. I'll see what the party is doing at character creation.
Ah, sure, ya have to though. Can't trust it to last. Could be warm and sunny one moment, and lashing the next. Particularly if you won't have the chance to pop back and grab it if it's needed later. Hope ye have a good day. :)

It's not that hard to get really, although the larger bottles can be expensive.

There's a pile of other security issues.
I'm slightly more worried about the corporations in this case.
They can only steal as much information from your facebook account as you enter there in the first place. If you register under nickname using e-mail created and used only for that purpose, the only information that can be acquired by them is your network of friends, colleagues, and your location (depending upon provider - for some reasons internet misplaces me, like if the provider used confusing ip for my location).
Drejk |
So.
Looks like my phone just died. No reason, no explanation, just turned off and won't go past the Samsung logo when I take the battery back out and put it back in.
This might be software issue. I vaguely recall such issue described for some models (S3? S4? Ace I? I can't remember, it was in January when I was training to be level 1 Samsung technician)... Either the phone needs to receive flash - update of the system to the newest version of system for that model, or it could be manufacturer issue that happens to that specific model, which might be basis for exchange. Sorry but I don't remember details, and I don't know anyone at the Samsung line. I might try to ask but I can't promise anything.
Needless to say, after everything that happened today, where the place I was going to this weekend for a special training on mental health first aid certification said they couldn't find the money order I sent them and so can't give me my certification,
You have what-it-is-called-in-English, proof of sending the money order, don't you?

Rule of three?
