Lord of the Dish Pit Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) 6 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: Have you heard of the disappearance of Legio IX? Just saying... Legio IX Hispana ("9th Legion – Spanish"),[1] also written Legio nona Hispana or Legio VIIII Hispana,[2] was a legion of the Imperial Roman army that existed from the 1st century BC until at least AD 120. The legion fought in various provinces of the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire. It was stationed in Britain following the Roman invasion in 43 AD. The legion disappears from surviving Roman records after c. AD 120 and there is no extant account of what happened to it.[3] Rumours have it that it is currently located under Lord of the Dish Pit's bathtub.. Nah, the Worms of the Earth summoned by Bran Mak Morn's descendant took out the ninth legion. The Welsh following Prince Madoc, might be different, although I've not heard anything about them heading further West than the Appalachians.

(Brown eyes instead of blue, curlier and frizzier hair... yeah, I know where I have seen that face before. And Brigid is starting to look just like her.) *EDIT* A clean page from a dirty comic. Seek out Alfie at your peril - fun, a good plot, but porn. Only two chapters to go. The Auld Grump I recently had a discussion with a friend about "adult entertainment that you consume for the plot." This was my example. I'm way behind on it. When Alfie hooked up with that lady from the red forest, I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep going because I can see the heartbreak coming a mile away... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have to do all the monitoring and etc, but one less thing to have to worry about. Hopefully now I can get my ear looked at... granted, now there's a person in the house from an outside environment, staying for who knows how long, and not wearing a mask around my folks (despite my insistence, because I presume mom told her she didn't have to, and probably a bit of hubris on the visitor's part)... @Crowley not necessarily parenting advice, but more of an observation: emotion for your child seems to dictate actions over logic/rational thought. Still one small victory with a negative test. I'll take it. Oh yes, there's no rational thought here, just emotional "I need/want" COFFEE! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aku-chan Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 My adventures in soup making continued today with Pear and Parsnip Soup, turned out much yummier than it thought it would (I was suspicious of adding pears). It wasn't all plain sailing though, I somehow managed to peel one of my knuckles. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thoramel Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 The IT security guys at work like to send out fake emails at random directing employees to go to a website linked in the message under the guise that it has something to do with insurance, retirement, direct deposit, whatever. The emails always have a bunch of little things you should be looking for that identify it as a fake email and when you get to the linked page it basically tells you you failed your internet wisdom check and you need to try harder in the future. Too many failures and you have to take extra security training. This morning my manager, who is still fairly new, sent out digital gift cards to everyone in our group as a thank you for getting a big project completed. Unfortunately she forgot to tell us all and a little over half the group immediately reported it as a phishing attempt before someone thought to ask her if it was real. She just sent an email out to us apologizing for not letting us know they were coming, praising our internet security diligence, and letting us know she is now required to take the extra security training for sending everyone something that looks like a scam. 4 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether they're willing to allow for telework, I guess.

Here's hoping you can persuade your houseguests to tow the line a bit more. Well, the right combination of my buttons were pushed (by several parties) and it keyed in the launch code for me to go ballistic. In a nutshell, stated, in my opinion, anyone that comes to their 70+ year-old parents' house from another state where they attended and left from a business event in another city (not even their own home where they could have been some form of isolated) who doesn't wear a mask and keep their distance when possible is extremely irresponsible. And this trip wasn't spur of the moment due to dad's accident (which still doesn't change my stance on wearing a mask); apparently it had been planned without my knowledge until a few days before (not without my own protests), and happened to coincide. Family can be nice... but they can also be a right pain in the arse, usually at the worst times. I really try not to be an a-hole... but if you mess with the safety or health of my parents or fur-babies, the gloves come off, and the claws and fangs come out. EDIT: dad did not get his full cast today, he had too much swelling. We have to get the swelling down for another appointment next Tuesday. They did put a second splint in place and re-wrapped it. Molly is feeling the cabin fever today; she's trying to jump and run even more than usual. Edited October 15, 2020 by ManvsMini 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenity Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Anne will have her AMA (Ask Me Anything) tomorrow (Friday) during her Reaper Toolbox stream at 11:30 AM. She has one whenever she gets enough subs, which I believe is now 100 per AMA. Leave questions on Reaper's Discord in the anne-ama channel. Discord: https://t.co/9YtFXYFXO8?amp=1 She generally uses those questions first and may take more from chat if she runs out or possibly earlier. There will also be some kind of giveaway, but I don't think they've yet specified what it will be. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the first time we've had a fight, but it's the scariest health environment in which we've ever had one (previous was during someone's chemotherapy). We'll smile and be polite in front of everyone else, and grind teeth out of sight. Trust me, when I want a bridge burned, I make sure that sucker is vaporized. The issue that surprises me is that my sister is a well-educated, very talented woman who, while not a doctor, works in the medical field with numerous doctors; she should know the risks of her actions. To me, the decision should be a no-brainer. This, I fear, is where an earlier comment I made about hubris may factor in. Fatal flaw of so many Greek heroes is excessive pride or self-confidence. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
