The Thing from Beyond the Edge |

Night folks, time to bail from the boards and spend time with a half nekkid Solnes. :D
Night to the clan.
I'm signing out also.
But, as a parting token, anyone ever play around with Hero Machine?

I forget. What did I do?

Forgot to mention --
On Monday I got my orange belt. Beware the fury of me. :-)
Yeah, but what color is your Gi? Make sure you don't clash with your color fashion. Or else when you unleash the fury, they may just drop down due to laughter. :p
Reminds me of a quote from a priest from one of Jackson's earlier movies, Dead-Alive:
"It's time for some divine intervention!" "I kick ass for the Lord!"

No I have not Thing. Thank you for giving my OCD something new! :P

Hell, is it sad to admit that if I was down at least a thousand, I'd spend the time reading and catching up. Besides, how will I know that someone won't speak out on my behalf and miss out on all the innuendos and perverse metaphors left unsaid? I mean, there are days ... that I am a big deal.
:p
You forgot "and responding to each one." :P

Not too much. Just got back from pasta and ice cream with Studpuffin. I have to tot up the treasure from last week's dungeon and see if it's enough, then start on the aftermath email so we're ready for next week. Then, unless caffeine starts kicking in, it might be time to crawl into bed with the Nook and start "Twenty Years After." I open the store tomorrow so need to get up early (yes, 8:30 a.m. is early rising in the Puffin household!).
What you been up to?

What you been up to?
Well, I have a majorly long document of gaming books that I want to get. I've been working on a new document of choice books. I figure, if I'm gonna spend my money on this stuff I might well get the cream of the crop first.
Plus I've been intermittently cleaning up my room.

Just don't make me a paladin or anything.Random useless trivia knowledge: Moorluck pronounces it 'Pa-lad-din'. Kind of like Aladdin, but with a P in front.One of my old players did that, as did some of my WoW guildmates. "Puh-LAD-din" rather than "PAL-ah-din". Drove me nuts. :P
That said, worse are the people who leave out the middle syllable. "PAL-din".
I think a blood vessel in my brain just burst.

Flash is there something you should be telling us?
That was creepy. I am not sure I can ever look at the Flash the same way ever again.

Ugh, I think I may be comming down with a cold. All I have wanted to do today is sleep.
Part of that might be stress. I know it is late and you are likely asleep now anyway, but indulge that desire and listen to your body. I am of the honest belief that sleep is a miracle "tonic" when it comes to significant stressful periods in my life.

Well, I worked at the old house today, going through old stuff of my great grandparents, grandmother's and mom's. Kind of depressing and kind of cool at the same time. Doing it by myself is probably the worst part. So I wasn't around to post today. Doesn't look like I missed a lot...
Lynora: Hope you feel better.
Solnes: Very sorry to hear about your brother.
I'm sorry hear that and I hope you are doing better. Take care and I will keep you in my thoughts. I know how incredibly difficult that can be.

:p
That's one of the methods to my madness. After all, I crept up past 10,000 posts w/o even drawing attention to it ... until now.
I'm covert like that. Fo shizzle.

Thinking about things like that gives me an existential crisis. My garage has a large number of personal stuff from my deceased father-in-law. Sometimes, I look at my own possessions, particularly things like photo albums or other sentimental things, and think to myself about how they will likely end up in boxes in the homes of my kids.
It creeps me out.
Think of it this way, you do remember and you do care. Even if it seems like no one else cares, the memory of your loved ones is safe with you. They live in your heart now. While it might seem like that precious memory is fading, by preserving what you have from them will keep those loved ones vibrant and accessible for future generations.
My family was terrible about preserving our family history and passing it downwards. There is a disconnect in my life that I wish was present. But I decided it was never too late and I have done everything I can to preserve the lives of those that came before me and dig up whatever I can find.
While I imagine you believe in an afterlife (I do as well) there is something to be said for bequeathing a small amount of immortality in this world for those you love.
I feel rather strongly about this, so I tend to argue the point stridently. But I firmly believe one of the best things you can do for those you love is to preserve their memory.

And I apologize if this was overly sappy or what have you. This is a trigger point for me in many ways. So if it was a bit much, feel free to disregard. ;)

Hey AB ... any updates on possession and relocation?
We are hoping to take possession Friday. Our moving date was scheduled for this weekend. With how everything is going we had to move it back to the 19th.
At this point we are waiting for the lending company. They have all they need but they were overwhelmed with all of those people (like ourselves) trying to get this handled in time to receive a tax rebate. At this point, I understand, so I can't get upset or anything.
I am just a bit impatient, in a good way. I can't wait to move in and get out of this apartment.
