... similarly, they could be using the Cortex system, so anyone may just maybe succeed at anything/fail at anything, and she rolls like Orthos when his character's life depends on it).
continuing with the earlier thought now that the joke at Orthos' impossible tendency to roll ones in strict defiance of all odds is finished, maybe:
I mean. Have you tried just... you know... not rolling 1s?
Just to see what it's like, I mean.
I mean. Have what if I tried just... you know... not rolling 1s, today IRL?

Tact, you have a PM. Hopefully your day goes better. If not, don't go too far down the psycho path.
Hahah!
I'm sorry if I worried you guys.
I'm really, really fine.
Tech issues and tiredness have artificially inflated stress levels, but let me mention: we absolutely are okay! And anything that does go wrong today? There's always tomorrow!
:D

Looks like some Tac-nical difficulties.
I think Tac needs a stiff drink. Or two.
Woran, let me tell you, a nice hard bottle with a very soft drink (or tea) in it sounds amaaaaaaazing.
(I avoid alcohol for a host of reasons, however.)
:D

If they don't get snapped in the face with the bungie cord, or if they happen to avoid the (essentially) spring loaded roll of perforated drain tile, then the swinging chain or falling hand packer balanced precariously just inside the door surely will. And if all else fails the floor is littered with timber nails and wood screws.
Basically, if anyone but me opens the trailer (unless they solve my ultra complex duck, duck, goose pattern, which is unlikely) whoever is in for a world of hurt.
This is what happens when you give me an extra twenty minutes to clean up for the day with limitless resources.

Those resources are all your "inhumanly good stamina" right? :D
Aaaaaaaaaaand at long last. This day? "D." "U." "N." - "finished."
Goodnight and rest well. I know I'm gonna!
Bother! Never did make the PMs load right. I'll look into that tomorrow, maybe. Sorry to the two people and three PMs I couldn't get to. Thanks, though! Heart you all!

"Hey kids, we just got our stimulus check, let's go to Disneyla- Oh!".
Terry Pratchett liked to list various methods of suicide on the Discworld, such as "shouting "All Gods are bastards!" in the middle of a thunderstorm, whilst wearing copper armour'" or "walking into the Mended Drum and announcing that your name is 'Vincent the Invulnerable' or some-other-such-nonsense".

Well 'Wizard the ever aging' here discovered one major drawback to being stuck at home with the loving Mrs Wizard.
The 'Honey-Do' list starts getting REALLY long. And more difficult.
I've already repainted/repaired the kids bathroom from top to bottom, and promised to repaint the kitchen area (it IS pretty old and not-good looking) but FIRST,...
"Honey,... do you think you can get rid of those bushes in front like we were talking about? (for the last 5 years) "
Me- "OK, but you know once I get started on this i cant stop until its actually DONE. And I'm not talking about the new flowers or whatever either."
Mrs- "OK!"
me- two days and a whole lot of backache later,... ALL the bushes have been chopped down (thank goodness for 'baby's first electric chainsaw') and hauled to the curb in time for trash pickup tomorrow. And a neighbor kid with a big truck and I got half the roots out of the ground. The EASY half. The rest will require a chain for pulling and/or a whole lotta chopping.
>_<
I've had enough of being 'Off' of work, Can I go BACK to work now?!?!?
;P

My week has actually been pretty similar, tho in our case from lack of power after the storms rather than quarantine.
So I work my 8-5, then come home and get asked to do or help with various tasks around the house. It's been close to 10 pm before I've been free to go do my own thing all week.

My car wouldn't make it down there, but I could. All I need is an axe, a pickaxe, a shovel and a chain.
Which I could easily borrow from work.

What I actually need to do is get you down here for a week or two. I intellectually know what needs to happen, but I don't feel like I'm skilled enough to do it well or physically up to getting it all done before I break down.

Hey, when you're done with Vanykrye, I'm just down the road. My yard needs mowed, the hedges trimmed, the patio could probably use some work, maybe the fence too. Hell, we might go crazy and replace some of the small grassy areas in back with gravel. C'mon, do a brother a solid.So I've got these bushes...and a wild tree...that need to come out of the front...Well 'Wizard the ever aging' here discovered one major drawback to being stuck at home with the loving Mrs Wizard.

Get me a ride to and from your house and yes, absolutely I will do what I can (I haven't trimmed a hedge in ten years or so and my experience with fences is purely for keeping livestock in).
That goes for anyone on FaWtL.
