The one thing I am not liking about the new set up. The Auld Grump Same - I've found myself paying a lot less attention to it, and a few other categories too. And that's before we mention all the scrolling on mobile. I also don't like that the CAV section was put at the very bottom, past off topic. That and its labelled a Reaper Game, but isn't it a Talon Games thing? 2 hours ago, Chaoswolf said: Friday!! Just 8 more hours to go.... It's even stronger for me...

I hadn't read too much of Wellman's work until recently, and it's kind of interesting how many of my ideas run so close to his at times. ... I’ve got a bunch of Wellman on my shelf (with the collected Silver John short stories in a different room this morning) and have ben meaning to read them again ... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangaroorex Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) needed to mope, sorry bout that. put it behind spoilers because it really is a first world problem but life is really beginning to wear and, once again, there is not even anyone i can rail against or get angry at. Ever get the feeling that there is some higher power out there that just doesn't like you? Was planning on a vacation at a nice little cabin on the edge of the Smoky Mountain national park complete with isolation, hot tub, views and a game room. Today i get a call that the current tenant managed to short out the electrical system and what they have available is a much smaller house, basically in town with no hot tub, no game room and only two bedrooms. My wife cant move her vacation so now I'm stuck in a location with insufficient space with the everybody tripping over each other the entire week or stuck going nowhere, again, for the entire week. And, of course, not one person in the family has lifted a finger to help with the vacation planning or getting anything done for it. what i love is the realtor calling to tell me the issue is going on about how this is better: smaller house, less amenities, poor view, less seclusion, same price. I fail to see how this is an improvement just because its closer to a town. I rent a cabin because i want to get away from people, not because i want to be near a city in lockdown. Sorry for the downer, I really should be happy that i am still around and as healthy as I am but it would be nice if things occasionally worked out at least close to what i was looking for.

CaptainPete Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I got a call, right as my alarm clocks were starting to go off, from my dad telling me that is sister (my aunt) had died. No idea what the cause is but I have very mixed feelings about this. Let me put it to you this way: I have a character in Deadlands named after my aunt, Nona "Cookie" Calhoon (not her last name). The "cookie" part in the character is because she's a tough one. When I was coming up for the name, I told my friend "I'm going to name her after the biggest B in my family." So... You can see why things are mixed for me. I doubt that my dad and I would be invited to attend a funeral (I'm going to assume there's not going to be one with The Plague around) seeing as my aunt's husband told my dad a while back to "Stop calling the house." And people wonder why I don't talk with my family... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 @Kangaroorex hang in there! I hope you can somehow make the best of it. @CaptainPete My sympathies. I understand mixed feelings all to well. Nevertheless it's still a loss. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope things work out for the best. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be sorry. That's a really sucky situation. And no way I'd pay full price for less. Maybe you and the Mrs. can find somewhere else to stay? AirBnB? 1 minute ago, Serenity said: News from Reaper's Twitch channel below. No Reaper Toolbox stream today, so no AMA either. Thanks for the update!

ManvsMini Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 First break of the day. Finally getting to sit down for a few. Everyone is doing as well as can be. Moved dad out to the main room with the big TV... how one person can watch so much golf is beyond me (see Robin Williams' bit on the invention of golf for my feelings on the game... be warned, lots of swearing/vulgar language for those who don't like that). Otherwise, nothing else has changed around here. Oh, except now there are at least two giant bees in the basement that I have to figure out how to either capture or kill before they make a nest... if I can find them, they only come out randomly when I am putting laundry in the dryer. Decided to write on my dad's cast (when he finally gets it, still working on the swelling) "It wasn't the fall, it was the sudden stop" and numerous other things. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
