Problem is I never feel better than when my meds aren't working. Way too much energy and drive 😀 but I'm still here and still able to enjoy life and try new things and with my new meds my immune system just got a bunch of new weapons and issued a draft notice conscripting all other cell production. We will have to see what happens... 41 minutes ago, Corsair said: Still praying here buddy. Thanks for that! Everything counts 27 minutes ago, Green Eyed Monsty said: Praying for you.

GEM That is pretty much how I live, well that and as my better half puts it being too stubborn to die. Me, I prefer to think of it as a vested interest in seeing what happens next.... 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even dad's caught on I do it deliberately to irk her, especially when she's pushed too far on something that isn't her business. ~~ On another note, someone in the Voron Discord does airplane work in the Netherlands, and when someone asked what they were certified in... The answer was "Certified Break Taker". When I told my dad this, being a Director of Maintenance at an air ambulance / VIP airline, and liking the idea of living there playfully said "so, uh, where do I send my resume? I'd love that job" Edited September 15, 2021 by WhiteWulfe 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran across some 3D printable "Racing Skiffs" and realized that might be a sport in Eberron, among the monied class. Snooty yacht racing jerks, taking to the skies! And maybe a Flywayman, living the life, on other peoples wealth. With experimental alchemical engines? At one point, wasn't there mention of a ring of elemental fire to go with the Arcane models? *EDIT* Found a ring of fire on Thingiverse.

Also hope that they will find a way to remove it safely or cure it somehow one day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManvsMini Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 What Happened Wednesday for September 15th: 1835 – HMS Beagle, with Charles Darwin aboard, reached the Galápagos Islands. The ship landed at Chatham or San Cristobal, the easternmost of the archipelago. 1915 – The Empire Picture Theatre (now The New Empire Cinema), the oldest running cinema in mainland Australia, opened in Bowral, New South Wales. 1978 – Muhammad Ali outpointed Leon Spinks in a rematch to become the first boxer to win the world heavyweight title three times at the Superdome in New Orleans. 11 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just when I’m really getting excited about hobbying again, I’m having a major carpal tunnel flare up. I couldn’t even brush my hair this morning. So now I’m cycling hot and cold packs on my arm in the hopes that I’ll be able to use my arm. Sigh. And we have 3 babies with covid. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPete Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 So, my story from yesterday: I ended up telling one of my bosses about what *might* happen in relation to my mom and me having to uproot everything. His response was something to the effect of "Since we've moved to merit raises (cue me trying not to laugh), you can ask them for more money, since you've been here since forever. As for the Uber/Lyft thing, they have a subscription service, monthly pay thing that let's you schedule rides. If you ask, I'll bet they'll pay for that, too. And just tell them that you want to go to part time." My reaction was something like this: No, they're not going to bite. They will beg me and offer me things to stay but, um, they can attempt procreation with a chainsaw. I've been done with them for a while and this is the easy way out. Plus, they're either renege on what they promised or wouldn't offer me enough. And I can't work full time AND help my mom. It's just... Not going to happen. As for the whole situation, apparently surgery was mentioned. To what extend has not yet been discussed. So... I'm thinking it's going to be worst case. It sucks but I'll deal. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morihalda Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Convention prep and the con kinda took over, and we expected that. We were not expecting to have to switch insurances and be without my meds for a few weeks. I've just been sleeping and/or in pain, so I'm kinda at negative amounts of spoons and unable to focus. It's incredibly frustrating going back to how I was a couple years ago before testing all of these meds and finally finding one that worked for me. Hopefully we get the insurance info soon and I can get back to the shop, gaming, and art. I see a few of us are struggling, but I'm hoping we make it through. <3 1 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hey, my first night off from work since coming home from ReaperCon! I had to work 8 straight nights to re-align my schedule back to where it normally is. Tonight is FLGS game night, so tech I'm not home till later but hey at least I'm gaming. I didn't game last week at all as I was "gamed" out from RC, I had a recovering raw throat (not sick, just overworked) & of course it was my 2nd night back at work & I didn't feel like gathering everything up for the game that night, speaking of which: I pride myself of using minis for all of D&D games. I make the effort to try & match the description in an adventure for a mini or at least get it real close, tonight I'll be using either dry erase tokens or just bare base sizes with different color of metallic Sharpie on them. Mainly cause I didn't feel like trying to find the right minis + tonight's adventure I have no idea how the players will react as overall the adventure is suppose to be a diplomatic mission for them, but players being players who knows how it will go down, ha ha. I'm running the 2nd adventure in the Ghost of Saltmarsh campaign "Danger @ Dunwater" ie the lizardfolk lair adventure. About the only sure thing I know is a Sahuagin ambush at sea at the start & the end mission of Thousand Teeth & the giant constrictor snakes. Either way, at least it'll be easier transporting things up there tonight + it'll be nice to my regular group of guys I game with at the store. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
