but...she's big now. Are you guys still fighting on that?Potty training with Crookshanks was a pyrrhic victory.
No one won that one.
Tiny T-Rex was the complete opposite.
She was determined to be the first human being ever that didn't need to go to the bathroom.
It was a long and difficult journey.
Tiny T-Rex, he used the toilet once and that was that.

she was trying to be efficient. I would have gotten her one of those bodysuits from Dune.
If anyone plays Blades In The Dark, or wants to play Blades In The Dark, or got the recent BLM bundle (which includes Blades In The Dark roleplaying game pdf).

No, I hated Dune.
One of the worst movies ever made, slightly above George of the Jungle 2 but below the first George of the Jungle.

I get that a lot.
I definitely highly recommend Maneater, it is a blast! Easily one of the best games this year.

LOL,
Sounds like my first pair of kids,Eldest son, "Wizardus Giganticus", when he was a wee giant, did NOT want to deal with going to the bathroom. (ALthough when he discovered he could pee in the bushes while playing outside, that became a thing,...) ;P
Eldest Daughter, "Lizard-Breath", when SHE discovered that she could go in the potty and not her diaper? We were done. O_o
bad ancient wizard.Crookshanks thought her last check for one week was BIG, then she opened her check for a full two weeks.
I could hear her evil laughter from the other side of the house (it's not a big house).
Heh,
MY daughter 'Princess' had the exact opposite reaction this summer.
LAST summer she worked for NASA Space Camp, and they paid well.
THIS year due to Covid/Cutbacks she did not get to return, so took a job at a local summer camp.She had gotten used to knowing that her Space Camp pay had arrived in her bank account, because she would see a big jump in her account.
The dismay when she realized that she HAD been paid by the local summer camp, and how small it was in comparison to the previous summer, was highly entertaining.
To me. :)
Heh. I've had a lot of practice. :)

Love the book Dune, never saw the movies. I imagine they're pretty terrible, coming from the pre- fantasy/sci-fi popularity era and dated special effects.

I know Dune is bad.
I know that every element, from the sorrow of the Jodorowsky masterwork that was not meant to be (with Salvador Dali as the Padishah Emperor!), to the hammy overacting, to the facepalm-worthy special effects, to the Toto soundtrack, to to the nipples on Sean Young's stillsuit, is cheesy as hell.
It's a mess.
But with young Sting AND Francesca Annis, it's a hot mess.
Plus you have Max von Sydow, Linda Hunt, Patrick Stewart AND Brad Dourif.
Yes, I have the DVD in my collection, and yes, I love it for the drunken midnight watch party hot mess it is.
For the record, yes, I have read all six original novels, more than once, and I know I have no excuse for liking it. I also own copies of the Syfy Dune and Children of Dune, which were much more faithful to the text, but so much less satisfying to watch.

Describing Tyrant's Grasp.
Me: It's survival horror, like The Walking Dead
The General: So, we're all going to die?
Me: No, it's like The Walking Dead, so you'll be fine, but everyone else will die. Unless you ask for a raise.

We're in Book 1 right now. I'm in the middle of reading Book 2.
So far, I like it.

I can't wait until part four and every person is all "Boy, Lastwall is the place to do that!"
Are we talking about the movie dune or the mini series dune? The original movie was a bit rough but the sci-fi mini series was pretty good albeit a massive investment of time. I think IT's very strange tho They tried to make close to the book as possible and the setting for the book is very deep and alien.
I liked it tho. I didn't even know they made a George of the jungle 2 so I have no comparison for that.
Oh also the worst movie I've ever sat through by far is tied between Open water and Wolf Creek which IMO are both just glorified Snuff films. Oh and the one with Deadpool slowly dieing in a box. That one was awful too.
I didn't hate Dune, but I did think it was overrated and undeserving of becoming a classic. The novel was "meh", bordering on disappointing, and not at all deserving of the myriad of sequels, spin-offs, and more that it spawned. I would rank it "airport paperback" quality, somewhere between C- and D+.
I didn't see the movie. It doesn't seem like it ages well.

Even worse than the fact that she lives in San Francisco and she did this is that we've had weeks of riots and protests precisely to try to educate people that this s*** isn't OK, and she still decided to do it.
People are so deaf to their own faults it's depressing and appalling.

I learned metal shavings from cutting a pipe will shred your gloves.
Still, better your gloves are shredded then your flesh.

I've been rejected by every fast food place except McDonald's, and I spent my two months there primarily being sexually harassed.

I misread this as “Y-Fronts Forever,“ and I figured you were very passionate about old school underwear.

So Friday night, after 6pm, one of the Ops managers from my office calls my personal cell. I decide to not answer. She texts me.
"Hey, just a quick question. How do I convert a jpeg to a pdf?"
Sigh. Fine. Reply.
Today I find out that she was asking for her kid's homework.
I have never before worked at a company where people thought it was perfectly acceptable to call their corporate IT personnel with that kind of stuff.

Contextually. Long runs (like more than 3 miles for me) and free balling are not a good combination.
Skiing. Umm,no.
Otherwise - hang brain.

And googling it would be probably faster than waiting for the answer...
