Good morning, everyone.

[Rysky]

Wow! So we did. :) *Confetti, Fireworks*

Tony is going back to London soon, for work-related business. Probably for recording extra dialogue for his character.

[Klorox]

I'm about to have a crazy, 3 game weekend... tonight, I DM for the first time in over a decade, just to see if I can still do it (will be mostly improv, my concentration trouble prevented laying down an adventure beyond the most basic concepts)...

Tomorrow is the second game in an English language (remember, I live in France) group that threatens to go weekly if every piece deigns to harmoniously fall together... I'm pretty pleased to practice my English and to see what can happen with my character.

Sunday will be an excursion from the last stages or a D&D5 campaign (let's name it: Out of the Abyss) where, instead of going after the main goal of the campaign, (we could), we spend extra time to make life difficult for the BBEG archmage who caused all the trouble... I'm not confident, but where my Matron goes, I duly follow.

Good Luck to Raven Black, I hope that John Napier is well, Hugs and positive feelings to Rysky, Selene, and everybody else who wants or needs any.

Have a nice week end all

[The Raven Black]

FIRED AT LAST !!! :-))

Have a good day everyone. Mine starts excellently :-)

[Rysky]

Woohoo, Raven!

and good luck, Klorox!

Hope everyone has great weekend now ^w^

I've been busy as all get out but it sounds like things are going well for everyone? Admittedly in a weird way for Raven. Anyway, hoping today just gets better for everybody!

[The Raven Black]

I live in France and here getting fired is the best way to ensure that you will get unemployment revenue after you leave your company and/or if you have to quit your new job within the first 3 months, hence the reason for my happiness :-)

BTW, I do have a job proposal and will start working for my new bosses next monday, so everything is happening at the right time, even though it felt like a stressful marathon of legal acrobatics :-)

[Rysky]

Woohoo!

Thank you very much ;-)

And I wish lots of Woohoo! to everyone :-)

[John Napier 698]

I'm doing well, Klorox. Just got done fully paying off one of the utilities that got out of hand from when I wasn't working for 3 months ( for medical reasons that everyone knows about ). Now to work on the others. Wish me luck.

[John Napier 698]

That's good news, Raven. Best of luck in your new job.

[Selene Spires]

Hey everyone...I had a a really crappy week and just in a general depressed mood. My friend is getting worst...and they still have not started the treatment. My life is just getting frustrating....and I just feel very lonely right now. Everything is just coming crashing on me this week....mostly probably internal stuff...anyway.

*hugs*

[Rysky]

[CrystalSeas]

Oh my, Selene

Sorry you're in such distress. Here's a hug so you'll know you're loved.

[John Napier 698]

*Offers a hug to Selene* I've said it before. My friends here on the message boards are like family to me. So here's a second hug to show I care. *Hug*

Well I've had a very interesting day. My LGBT group watched the documentary Intersexion since Intersex Awareness Day is next week. (That video is quite long, slightly NSFW, and contains discussions of emotional trauma, suicide, and sexual assault.) That said, it was very interesting and informative, me and the other group members really liked it.

Then later this evening I hung out with two friends and we watched The Way He Looks, which was...a very sweet movie.
I've been meaning to watch it for years and I'm so glad I finally got to.

[Rysky]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I spoke with my brother today (it's his Birthday at 45). The puppy who got into the Gorilla Glue is doing fine. The glue was vomited back up. However, those who pray regularly may want to do so for his Wife. She has either Thyroid problems or Ovarian Cancer. The doctors aren't sure which.

[John Napier 698]

Thanks for the hugs and support everyone...it helps.

@John: I hope everything turns out good for your brother's wife. *hugs*

May everyone have tranquility and harmony in their day, should they desire it, with the necessary balance and wisdom to approach their daily routines.

[John Napier 698]

Thanks, Selene.

All the best for your brother's wife, John. I will keep her in my prayers, as I will do with your friend, Selene.

I got some news regarding my depression. I didn't tolerate the medication I recieved. While they checked for any unhealthy side effects, they came upon slightly off blood values - nothing concerning, in fact they could still be considered healthy, but they also showed the possibility of my adrenalin glands underperforming.

I now get medication to help the adrenalin glands and the last week has in fact been the first week for a long time without mood swings or depressive episodes.

(The week wouldn't want to be too easy on me, though - I killed both my oven and my dryer and I am down with a wicked cold/migraine combination - or rather I should be down, instead I am at work now).

Congrats to Raven Black on getting the axe the right way... licenciement économique, right?

[Rysky]

Glad to hear your new stuff is working out for you Feytharn. Sorry about the cold though.

Good morning, everyone.

[Rysky]

Morning, John.

[VixieMoondew]

I've been working on Slimfast and I gotta say, being hungry sucks, but having two chocolate shakes a day is a nice compromise...

[Rysky]

Oooo if you're getting hunger pains you might want to switch to something else, but if the shakes are taking care of that then kudos!

[Klorox]

OOOf, after being overbooked and nearly sleepless since friday night, this retiree can at last get some rest and say hello to everybody tonight.

Nothing quite like hard pangs or anything, but I do have to be very mindful, which means I can't pour Dew and Doritos in a blender whenever I get a little peckish anymore.

Not that I ever did that, but

So I got more news about my friend tonight...they are moving him into a long-term care kinda of place and his parents are not going to pursue any treatments.

:(

[John Napier 698]

Not good news. Not at all. ;_;

[John Napier 698]

She may not be on-line as often. I told her to go spend as much time as possible with her friend. I also told her that we'd all still be here for love and support when she got back.
