Whelp. Happy New year everyone. We're one hour into 2017 here on the Canadian west coast.. Let's hope it's all Sunny Ways from this point.

in my hometown Gelnhausen, yesterday the Unicorn Apothecary closed after beeing in buisness for 434 years, founded 1582.
the interiour was unchangd since the last refurbishing in 1850.
the closing is due to difficulties in meeting pharamcy regulations and historic site regulations at the same time and fewer customers due to no parking space right in front of the building, you had to walk almost 100 meters o.O
:-(

The problem I have found is if you are practical you never do anything fun. I played it safe from 2000-2015. 1/3 of my life with almost no interesting memories. 2016 I made it to GenCon and NYC. I may be broke, but I am rich in experience

Take it from someone who used to take a lot of umbrage from things posted on this site. Disengage. It's not worth being angry over what some random stranger says or believes. Just enjoy the gaming, the camaraderie and the simple pleasure of sharing your life with others who have a commonality with you. Peace is something you cultivate inwardly. Allowing trolls to impact you negatively will only harm your inner equilibrium in the long run.

That's sad. It's amazing you have an apothecary that predates the settlement of Eastern North America (Vikings notwithstanding). What a loss!

Okay. I'll try to remember that. And, I'm sorry. I thought I was in better control of myself. I'll have to work on that, too.

Sorry so Late
Happy New Year! (Slightly belayed)
Good Riddance 2016! (Keep the memories of the good parts that you had, and blow the rest to smithereens!) ;)
Had a good trip to see my family in Oklahoma. (Less stress than usual) ;P
Made it back in one piece. (ALways good!) :)
Have to go to work tomorrow. (University is closed, but I still have to work? MAN I miss hourly.) :/
Did I mention Happy New Year? Oh, ok. Good.
Going to bed now.

So, what part of the liquor store will you be found in? So that I might avoid that row.

I learned today that they will preserv the apothecary rooms and male them available for guided tours, thats something at least
and in the same street is an Inn called "The Lion" which was in the same family since 1506, until last year the widow of the last owner tricked her stepson out of the testament and sold it to someone else, grrrrrr at least it is still in buisness and mostly unchanged

Well I'm still aiming for summer 2018 to visit Central Europe. Hopefully you can show me these wonderful places firsthand!

I also resolve to try to learn how to speak Japanese, so that I may be of better use to the Anime convention I work for.
That reminds me. If I'm doing Central Europe in '18 I need to get my Geman up to the ask directions level.
Wo sind die Badezimmer?
noch ein Bier bitte!
mich nicht, ich bin kanadisch!
