Surgery would have been better news. It would have ment that part of that damage could have been reversable/treatable.That's understandable. Still, sometimes it's just good to know there is a plan. Wishing you and Mr T all the best.
Yes. That is the truth. We're a bit sad that he cant get a lot better by surgery. But at least we can now move forward instead of waiting.

Last night was just SOOOOOOO indicative of everything wrong with Red Dead Online:
(1) We were targeted for assassination by another posse. We ran away for most of the time period, then set up on a defensible hill. By the time we were set up, we were down to one person chasing us. Shiro shot him. He respawned and shot Shiro. GothBard shot him. He send GothBard an obscenity-laden tirade about her ruining his quest and screwing up his night.
So I guess we were supposed to just stand still and let him shoot us?
(2) I was targeted for assassination by another player. Shiro did his best to save me, shooting her twice, but she eventually tracked me down and got me. She then tried to take out Shiro because she was mad at him for interfering. He had to shoot her half a dozen times before she finally realized he was waaaaaaay better than her and gave up.
(3) A group of players was exploiting the "teleport all nearby players to us and throw infinite dynamite at them" hack, which we've run into three or four times now. I simply quit at that point. Shiro was fed up and started shooting them over and over and over again. It didn't stop them, and they occasionally got Shiro, so he ended up fed up and quit as well.
Gee, RockStar, why aren't any of us monetizing your game?
(As I've said, other than the griefers it's a really relaxing way to pass the time, and you usually hit griefers only once a night or so and it's easy enough to switch servers, but three griefers in a single night was pretty frustrating.)

In my VP-level meeting where everyone's looking at my report.
There's nothing like going in worried that they're going to ask, "What the heck does Nobody's group do anyway?", and hearing nothing but, "OMG, Nobody's spreadsheet is what we've needed for YEARS! Let's all thank him!" and having the entire meeting revolve around, "Well, this needs to get done, so let's go back to Nobody's spreadsheet and yes! He's documented it right here! Nice job, Nobody!"
Yes, there's general agreement that the current situation is a cluster****. And there's also general agreement that my spreadsheet is absolutely the tool they need to get started fixing it all.
Hooray for me!

Lost all our emergency money when the dog got pneumonia and we had to take him to the vet. Plus work hasn't been consistent. Plus the baby has a ridiculous rash and we had to take two days off work to bring her to the doctor twice.
While taxes and stimulus will get us through eventually AND we will be rather well after (at least for a while), with a week until the month left, we are waiting for my brother to pay back some money I lent him and I have a contact who owes me back pay that is delaying constantly. If both of those don't show, well...
I am so tired of this. We had a few months in a row where we were doing good, but it keeps coming so close that we haven't been able to save anything for almost a year, and ruined the savings I did have.

No. All that time he spent playing First Person Shooters (FPSes). (And look at me, defining my initialisms!)
Keep in mind that Shiro lives alone, has food delivered most of the time, and has a cleaning service. He has astonishing amounts of free time on his hands, and has for many, many years. Until he ran into us, he spent most nights playing PvP in FPS games.
He's really, really good at killing other players. He just knows we don't care for PvP so he plays co-op games with us. Then enjoys revenge when people don't play nice.
(Apparently after GothBard and I quit the dynamite game he looked up how to avoid getting hit by dynamite and spent 20 minutes killing the offenders over and over again until they realized they were outclassed and abandoned the server, so it turns out it was a net positive for him, even though when I left last night he seemed pretty unhappy about it.)

Prayers, hopes, and...I dont know, remote job offers?
Honestly, I'm at such a point of exhaustion with life. I didn't even say a quarter of the stuff I'm dealing with.
I think what upsets me the most is when I was a teenager, I was suicidally depressed. I got through it by pointing out to myself I was just starting life, and it would get better, and by the time I was 30 I'd be over all this.
Now I'm almost 40, and I think two more decades in, I can with confidence say I was wrong.
I'm still just as if not more depressed, but I can't even take th easy way out because it would screw my kid over, and I don't want to ruin her life because I'm ultimately weak.
But it doesn't mean I don't feel exactly as bad. I just have some resolve. Resolve to realize I guess I'll just always struggle and never be truly happy beyond those flash joy moments parenting brings in between the slough of bullshit.
Its not exactly reassuring.

At 33 I was convinced that I'd utterly wasted my life: I was in a horrible, 85-hour-a-week job that I had to quit because it was literally killing me. (The only time I've ever been diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure.) I was facing the reality that I'd never own a home, never be able to afford a family, etc., etc.
At 36 I'd lost my dream job, we'd burned out our retirement accounts to buy a home we were rapidly losing the ability to afford, and I was honestly worried that within a year the three of us would be homeless and would have to go back to the family, hat in hand, to get back on our feet.
At 40 I was barely keeping the family afloat trying to support a 4-person family in the Bay Area on a single, 5-digit income.
At 50 both GothBard and I had full-time employment, and our net worth was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Things can change fast, and you do get happier with age. For most men I know, the 40s are the worst of it. Check out the graph to see what happens at 50.
It's GOING to get better, and I'm proud of you for sticking it out for your daughter! As you're doing, focus on making it through February. And yes, if you want a 0% loan to make it through the end of the month (and March as needed), just PM me your GoFundMe information and I can certainly spare a few hundred.

Not why I shared it. I just have to vent somewhere. My brother is in worst straits than me and my mom and stepfather are dealing with their own issues and have been rescuing us since we left Ohio.
It gets hard focusing on the good. Its mostly how I have been getting through, but...we've been treading water for a while now. I just feel exhausted from this stress.
I gained 50 lbs in the last year. Fifty! I had just gotten down to "normal" weight but this year, with all the good it had, was stressful enough to take me from normal way the f**@ past overweight and obese into morbidly. That's a lot at once. And the best I've done in reverse in my entire life is about half that. And that was in my 20s.
I'm glad things worked out for you, at least. I don't have as much faith it will. But I appreciate the encouraging words, even if I'm too down to accept them as truth yet.

The following are the most common:
- Weregeek (kind of been "not feeling it" ever since they intentionally sank the mystery as a vague sort of meta-game thing, but following out of inertia; I like most of the characters, but don't really like where they've taken several of them)
- Evil-inc (I've been "eeeeeehhhhhh" since the reboot; it's certainly not bad, but he's been pushing the "Evil Inc. After Dark" which makes sense, given it's a strong income for him, but just not what interests me)
- Darths and Droids (this continues to be excellent)
- Order of the Stick (this continues to be excellent)
- Goblins (... it's been decreasingly interesting over time; the premise is great, the world-building is interesting, and the story is hypothetically gripping, but in practice the slow pacing and somewhat heavy-handed handling of several side characters along with increasingly bizarre and aesthetically unpleasing variants of said side-characters makes it increasingly difficult to enjoy)
- Schlock Mercenary (well, okay, I don't, technically, because it's finished, but I do keep checking it from habit)
- Sluggy Freelance (still good; it's long and convoluted and weird, but I still basically enjoy it)
- Gunnerkrigg (I am very split on how this has progressed; it's very well written, however, and I really am interested in the story)
- Rusty and Co. (it's fantastic)
- Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (it feels complete; it's still ongoing, however, and the sudden shift in style and design is a bit jarring; I really don't want Runt to be bad, but most of the comments is convinced he's turned villain)
- xkcd (always great)
- what-if.xkcd oh, wait, no, i'm not, because it was cancelled when the book came out and i'm still salty about it
- Captain SNES (probably the slowest updating and most profanity-laden comic I follow)

Haven't read Sluggy Freelance in years, but I used to like it.

I used to love Evil Inc. Brad Guigar is awesome. But at some point, it just went over a cliff.
Yeah, it's just... I don't know. But yeah. Kind of like Goblins, I'm still following from inertia by this point. I really don't want him to be stuck in a cycle of Will They/Won't They - I loved the husband/wife/children/family dynamic; it's kind of interesting to see a different/reboot of the whole thing, but eh.
Haven't read Sluggy Freelance in years, but I used to like it.
I still like it. It is remarkably consistent. Like, other comics fluctuate in good or bad over time, but... Sluggy is basically the same as it always was. It's technically more dramatic, now, I guess? But ultimately not really.
Mostly now I just read OOTS and xkcd.
Those are both really good choices.
My very favorite webcomic, Dave Lowe's Paraabnormal, sadly ended a long time ago. And before I had a chance to get a "Spartan Smurf" ("Tonight we Smurf in Hell!") tee shirt.
I used to love Dr. McNinja, but it kind of... eh, it just weakened over time, and eventually ended. The ending really was great for what it was at the time, but it wasn't as strong as some of its earlier elements.
8-bit Theater was easily one of my all-time top finished webcomics.
Schlock Mercenary and what-if.xkcd, of course, were both mentioned up there and are done.
Manly Guys Doing Manly Things was wonderful while it lasted, but it just kind of... stopped one day. The author said she wasn't able to think of anything "funny" anymore for the cast to do and had been churning out "unfunny things" but... a lot of that content either was funny, or was really good, regardless. Still, if she wasn't satisfied with her work, I understand why she'd stop.
Erfworld was simply and abruptly ended due to honestly terrible circumstances in the author's life. I understand why he walked away, but sometimes I wish I knew what was happening in their life - or at least if they ever got to a better place than where they left it. I also wish he'd handled his comic differently... but his response is his own, and I can't really judge him. I disagree, but it's understandable.
No Rest For the Wicked is an ooooooooooold and long-lost webcomic I've mostly forgotten about. The author stopped updating for a while, and then noted, "Oh, yeah, we had a bad tsunami here; oops. I'll update again soon." and that's it for the last... oh, man, decade, maybe?
Similarly, there's one webcomic I always have to look up (I never remember the name) who's author went by "W-Tip" (instead of "Q-Tip") that was an original sprite comic that just... vanished.
I used to enjoy Megatokyo, The Wotch, and No Pink Ponies, but at some point I just... I don't know stopped caring enough to follow them, I guess?
A Tale of Two Rulers and Friendship is Dragons are both probably worth following - at least I'm interested - but I never really remember to do so.
Ah! So many! I've forgotten so many more (and some I refuse to share, simply because it's embarrassing on this end - and I admit to reading Megatokyo, so you know that's a thing!) but whether they ended well or just vanished over time, I'm grateful for all the really interesting story ideas shared over the internet.

I LOVED 8-Bit Theater!
I think I've read it all about three times total. My favorite one is "Show me something that beats a natural 20, and I'll show you hateful lies!"
Oh, and fun note - my daughter just broke my phone today. Grabbed it off the counter and chucked it, not dropped it, tossed it at the floor with all the force her little almost-one-year-old arm could muster.
