teknoman2 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 i finished my latest civ5 campaign, i finished the original Thief (had played the second game at the time but never the first) which was a chore at times as enemies had the bad habit of randomly going on full alert for no reason (fortunately in 2 they had fixed that) and i made backups of everything important on the new SSD i got. tomorrow i finally say goodbye to my old FX 8350 and switching to Ryzen 3600. i had the parts 3 days now but i wanted to finish the above games before switching since i have to format the current SSD that contains everything since the old HDDs are dead (one of them was 12 years old, i'd say it lasted long enough) The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

teknoman2 Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 before marriage, the relationship is like walking a dog off leash. you are always careful to keep the dog safe. after marriage, the relationship is like having the dog tied in the back yard. you are relaxed in the knowledge that the dog isn't going anywhere but if you relax too much you may find the dog strangled by the leash.

HA! Good Fun! ps is no longer boalt as a few years ago the school decided it were kinda shameful to name the school after a blatant racist. I've been married twice. My first we split up in 1999 after three years and divorced in 2000. When I got out of the service I dabbled in politics and started a business offering electronic test equipment calibration and service. It was revenue challenged right from the start. In three years it was all over and with it all my savings were gone and I was saddled with small fortune in debt. Not the least of which was a house I was seriously upside down in.. My wife always had champagne tastes and we didn't even have a beer budget. So she had had enough and left. The divorce was easy. What is half of nothing? But she still had an ownership interest in the house. When I sold it 8 years later she got a check. I've spoken to her once since then. She got remarried a long time ago. The second time around was just a few years ago, She lied to me about something very important right from the beginning. And boy did THAT skeleton come waltzing out of the closet in an unexpected way. Never again.

I keep my drinking only to the weekends but it's probably been a while since I hadn't drank at least once a week. So it looks like I may need to go through the fun of swapping cases because the power button isn't working consistently. I've currently got it working but it seems to make a clicking noise that it didn't before and I'm worried it will fail at an inconvenient time. 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands

Raithe Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 A Monday. Ugh. A bank holiday. Yay. A headache. Ugh. But, some paracetamol, plenty of tea, the soundtrack to the 90's Three Musketeers (Bryan Adams, Sting, and Rod Stewart) and assorted other Dumas film adaption scores whilst skim reading the Honor Harrington series. Since this morning I've gone through books 1-4. Now making a stir fry from the leftover chicken from yesterday and finally turned on the pc to check the assorted mail, world news and suchlike. 2 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Gfted1 Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I am thrilled to report that my two furry girls made it through the spaying with flying colors. HUZZAH! They are eating / drinking / potty / playing, but I did keep them in the bedroom with us last night because they were still a little high when they got home and I didnt want them to take a tumble down the stairs. 2 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
