Some of the Greek gods were hanging out.
Zeus: "Ugh. I gotta go home. Hera's gonna b#**@ if I don't."
Aphrodite: "I'm going to go see what Ares is up to. I don't want to go home to my ape of a husband."
Poseidon: "I'm gonna go see if Demeter is busy."
Hades: "I'm going home to my wife. Because I love her. THAT'S WHY I MARRIED HER!!!!"
You misspelled "kidnapped".

Our Pathfinder group has decided that the generative fluid ejaculated by male Dwarves behaves exactly like cement. This is now Official Canon, and Erik Mona must be informed immediately.

DST is a mathematical principle applied to timekeeping, Freehold.
In other words: unnecessarily complicated and abusive.
It's one hour. It's not that complicated.
Abusive in that you lose that hour of sleep? Okay that I might buy.
Maybe it's a rural thing.
---------
Make no mistake: DST *is* straightforward and sensible, but there is nothing about it that is necessary. Farmers and "agriculturally-inclined persons" who must work during daylight hours will do so no matter what an GMT-accurate clock reads. Those of us who work to a GMT-dictated schedule don't *need* DST for anything. And most folks live somewhere in between those extremes, jumping through Ol' Benjamin's innovative hoops to accomplish . . . what, exactly?

All I know is I'm at least 3 days ahead of schedule and I just took steps to ensure I'll knock off at least a couple of days off the end of the project, just by thinking ten steps ahead.
So how's that for time clock management!

In Impus defense, between yesterday and today was a lot of time to lose it.
Myself, I can easily misplace items after double checking that I have them prepared.

He didn't lose it. He assumed he had it and knew where it was, and he was wrong.

That's the best way of losing things. You think you know where they are until you discover that you don't.

Sometimes the visual voicemail feature on iPhone makes life seem more exciting than it is. Their dictation system transcribed a guy’s surname thusly:
“Hi [CH] it’s [first name] a MechWarrior at Morgan Stanley sorry I missed your return call…”
How worried should we be about Morgan Stanley’s MechWarrior program?

Usually I don't put much stock in horoscopes but yesterday the General told me "According to my horoscope the next week is an optimal time for sex!"
Very well, I'm willing to believe.

We have been at this mother...loving... hospital for six hours. Four to get my daughter a room, as her temp is about 103-104. She's in room with mom alone now because no two parents allowed. Because Covid. Even though we're both vaxxed and NOBODY MADE THAT WOMAN IN THE WAITING ROOM COVER HER NOSE WITH THE MANDATORY MASKS but no, two vaccinated parents in their daughters room is too unsafe.
Eat all of the donkey, hospital. You can just eat donkey, you lovemaking child of an unmarried prostitute.

"Good thing you came in. That's a dangerous temp. Now wait four hours before we even get you a room."
"Looks like it's a minor viral infection. We will give you stuff you could've bought over the counter and tell you to do what you could've done at home anyway - but it could've been dangerous because of the temp. So good thing you came in. And we didn't do squat for half a workday. And sent you home with nothing after another half a workday."
Still haven't left. They need to do more paperwork or something. I don't know. I'm getting my news via text because of the aforementioned illusion of security theatre.

Really glad it's minor, even though the experience was awful. ERs are the worst. Lots of fluids and TLC.

I went through something similar when I was her age. Mom was panicked. It really sucks because hindsight is 20/20 and the one time you decide to treat at home is the one time that it's something you need to go go the hospital for.

Nine hours.
We were there for nine hours.
I hate hospitals so much. She's okay. There was also a UTI they caught near the end, so we got some antibiotics, so the hospital wasn't a complete waste.
As Freehold said, the one time you don't go is the one time you should've. If it were me I would've just left after four hours in the waiting room watching every unvaccinated moron get helped (Dr later confirmed to Tala that was the hold up - ER filled with unvaccinated morons) before you, but for my kid I put up with it. But I really wanted to bust into the ICU and tell off every dumbass there.

Awww, there is a Hellboy board game...
Eh, expectably expensive, and that doesn't take the expansions into account :(

A lot of boardgames are expensive these days. I remember seeing a Hyborian one that looked pretty neat, but cost nigh on £100. And as for 2nd hand prices for copies of Heroquest in decent nick... (I know they re-released it recently, but only in the US, the objects, and I'm damned if I'm going to go through the rigmarole of importing a set)
