As a stripper, I'm presuming? Or is it just one of those clothing-optional places?
EDIT: Darned pirate ninjas!

And what a job!
You may want to put some clothes on for your first day of work, unless you are doing the "strip your way through school" thing...

Sorry about the family issues Rosita.
Gratz on the new job Anius' the Talewise.
~grumbles~ Damn buggy Fallout New Vegas costing me 3 to 4 hours of gameplay due to there only being 100 save spots and me rewriting over my previous saves to conserve some of those spots for later and then FO NV glitching up JUST as I save my game. ~grumbles~
Thank you Auto Save!!! I did not loose any time.

Rosita, that sounds awful. I hope this at least gives some closure.
Hopefully. I guess that's as good a reason to give her at least something of her family when she goes into the fire. Somehow, I feel like I might actually have a worse time dealing with this if we just burned her with nothing and dumped her in a ditch like we used to fantasize about.
I'm sorry rosita. It sounds like a lot of the weight doesn't hit until the funeral time.
Yea. I didn't even love her and I'm starting to feel s+$%ty. It's all just empty and loveless. I know she's the one who decided to beat, starve, and do other things to her kids and them blame them, so I get why the end is so loveless, and I certainly don't miss her. Yet that lovelessness is just so tragic, even though it's deserved.

Rosita I hope it will go alright for you and your family.

Rosita I hope it will go alright for you and your family.
I hope that, too, but it seems increasingly likely that this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I swear, if this turns into an inheritance fight, I'm going to call everybody idiots and tell them to just give me all Grandma's kitchen knives and Tupperware (College students with understocked kitchens need that s$#!) and maybe a cast iron pan, chalk me up as satisfied with my inheritance, then leave me the f*$$ alone until they come to their senses and stop fighting.
I feel ready to just let everything go and move on. I've been getting ready to do so. BUT NOPE! This family ALWAYS got to have some b$+#+%#~.

** spoiler omitted **For some reason, one of those things doesn't seem to fit.We had a blast at the Ren Faire. There was jousting and cider and knife throwing and naughty nuns.
I did not buy a sword. They really are hella expensive.
They were awesome!
Hey I posted that on the place that should not be named for fear of Freehold's HateraidTM
Joke stealer. :P
I'm more of an improvised weapon type myself, once gave an older kid a black eye with my Yo Yo when he said Yo-Yo-ing was for sissies, then lost the clumsy jackass in the woods at the park when he couldn't keep up :-)
If you want a visual my hair was still reddish with crazy curls and long because I was afraid of my legally blind mom giving me a haircut and shaving off a part of my ear, so I looked like a 12 year old Napoleon Dynamite without glasses :-)

...Aaaand Mom has officially gotten involved in the argument. Mom REALLY didn't want to be involved in the argument. True to Mom form, however, she knows EXACTLY who needs lining out here. Guess the inheritwnce fight got stamped out in it's infancy. Which is good. Esoecially because all the yelling is aimed away from me for once.

I own several swords.
One set is decorative.
The others are quite real, including one i trained with back in the day along with its backup, and another that is a zatoichi/iai style/shikomizue style sword that is actually not a katana blade but a gentleman's sword.
I would love to walk down the street with them all but the cops would be too excited to say I'm coming straight for them and either confiscate the weapon or kill me and then confiscate the weapon.

an extremely dangerous weapon. I've seen entire rows of teeth bludgeoned out of a face with a wooden yoyo.

You get .... looks
I'm pretty sure I told you guys the story of why I don't like carrying my weapons on the street around cops.
@Rosita, my condolences. Family issues are the worst.

LOL. My claim is far less dramatic:
NH: Hey, stop that!
Bully: But, but... I just hit you in the head as hard as I could!
NH: Yeah. I didn't like it. Please stop.
Bully:
My first victory in a Tae Kwon Do tournament was because my opponent kept falling over every time he kicked me, since apparently he expected me to yield just a little bit. My first near-upset against a champion was when he got so upset at my not falling down he did some illegal punches to the face and neck.
I bled a bit, but I didn't fall down.
Eventually, the judges had to admit that he was WAAAAAAY better than me, and they couldn't give me the win just because Mr. "I'm sooooo good" got pissed that I wouldn't go down...

...and @Rosita, yeah, families do all kinds of stupid things that piss off generations to come.
My grandparents saw that my father was married, successful, owned his own home, and was raising three kids without any trouble. His sister was a spendthrift wastrel who couldn't hold down a job (nor a husband).
So of course they left the lion's share of the estate to her, because "she needed it". It was one of the final steps in my father disowning her. (She later had to borrow even more money from him, which she never returned.)
So my parents were determined to not "be like that", and tracked every single expense on every single child, for our entire lives, down to the penny.
Well, guess what? I was the only one who went to grad school and got a Ph.D., so when my father's inheritance came in, I got $0.00. (They *almost* billed me, but my brothers nixed that idea, thank goodness.)
Whatever happened to, "Live life to its fullest, spend what you need to to be happy, and distribute whatever's left evenly among your heirs?"
Too complicated, I guess.

To be fair to the other kid I had been bullied by my slightly older brother for years, so he was no match for a kid that video taped The Smothers Brothers :-)
A.C. is out!
Motor is fried, it's times like these I'm glad I rent, and lots of windows, not to mention an appreciation of for summer :-)
Pea Bear's first day of school was a rousing success, she met a new best friend, who trades veggies to Pea Bear for homemade baked goods (even tho we always send her with veggies, I think she just likes to share)
Also she found a group to be sarcastic and ironic with, I assume that's what they do at least, being pre-teens and all :-)
My wife's brothers got in a big tussle over who gets what when their Grandparents passed away and are constantly maneuvering and jockeying for what's left when their parents go, my wife to her credit refuses to have anything to do with it "I don't want anything" she's said repeatedly, fighting over what's left of a person is no way to live.
Sorry Rosita, family drama is the worst!

From what I can gather, I was wrong about it brewing as an inheritance fight. The fight was actually about when to divvy up the estate. My stepdad wanted to do it now because he does what he wants when he wants, and my sister wanted to let the probate court handle it like the law says. I thought it was a fight about who gets what, but it wasn't. My stepdad got brought sternly to heel by my mother, so it's going to probate court. We can't find a valid will, so I think state law says it goes to the kids.

Swords?
Well, aside from the practice ones, I have (none of these pics are of mine, tho):
* A Prussian M1873 sabre, which is only really suitable for Hefty Hermann the Gargantuan Uhlan, seeing as it's colossally heavy and unwieldy. Good for drilling with, though
* A 19th century Indian tulwar, which is fab, if a bit knackered (mine doesn't have all the nice silver stuff in the picture, but is otherwise pretty similar
* A 18th or 19th century military smallsword, which I can't find a pic of, and which I suspect might be a replica, seeing as a) it was cheap and b) it was in pretty good nick when I bought it.
I have never carried them around. I am bearded and relatively dark in complexion and dislike arguing with tasers.

These are the only "swords" I ever had. I picked them up at a flea market back in high school for 20 bucks and had them in my bedroom.
We had an electrified barb wire fence, anyway my brother would chase me to beat me up and I'd fly around the corner and slide under the fence and he would go around the corner full of rage and get stuck on the fence, like 3 times I got him stuck:-D

I got a job as a stripper, once.
Turned out it was stripping paint :-(
| 4 people marked this as a favorite. |
I am convinced I could find a job somewhere around here getting people to pay me NOT to strip...
So last day of summer I'm doing dishes and Pea Bear decides now is the time to introduce Tiny T-Rex to Beavis and Butthead :-)
Guess who gets to deal with the fallout?
This guy!
At least it wasn't me doing the introducing this time :-)
But yes he's a big fan:-)

It's funny all the things a child can find that needs to be done RIGHT NOW!!... in the middle of crossing the street! "I must check the ninja turtles riding in the basket to make sure they're nice and cozy... IN THE MIDDLE OF THE F%~%ING STREET!
I guess that's why I get paid the big bucks... D'oh!

of course! when else do you check them?

Maybe during the extra long block without any streets or driveways, just hundreds of feet of unobstructed, safe pavement :-)
But hey what do I know, I'm not the one with a basket full of ninja turtles, tho I was, once.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
gotta make sure those ninja turtles are safe when crossing the street!
