LadyCrimson Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 (edited) I was able to log in and load posts etc just fine today, so that's a good sign re: forum performance capabilities. Although the game hasn't wide released yet. The reviewers and those who paid for early access, I think. = In other news, while generally speaking I keep to a decent food regimen, day to day, and have kept my weight low and level etc, excess sugar snacks is still a constant "addiction" I fight against all the time - and sometimes lose. 1st couple years I did really well. (edit: still off/don't need insulin tho) The past couple years I've done "all right." Death by Costco's Kirkland macadamia-nut, chocolate/caramel clusters has more appeal all the time.

Reminds me of that one (single) time it snowed in California/Bay Area (at basically sea level, not hills/mts) when I was ... uh ... 8? A houseguest of my parents made three very tiny snowmen and stuck them in front of the planter boxes on the back deck. So i woke up and saw those. I've been waiting for it briefly snow around here like that one more time, in my lifetime. Hey, it could happen. “Things are as they are.

Malcador Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Snow is irritating, running out of space to clear it to. 20 cm this week and maybe 25 cm this weekend.

Malcador Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Cleared snow, think we got maybe 20 cm again. Hopefully that's it, but this stuff isn't going to melt for weeks, which is interesting.

rjshae Posted February 17 Posted February 17 We had another light dusting of snow here, but it cleared up after a day. Looks like we're in for a warming trend, so hopefully it's back to normal now. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
LadyCrimson Posted yesterday at 12:49 AM Author Posted yesterday at 12:49 AM Hello, how are you today, I hope you are well. I am wide awake but it's that periodic and persistent moment where nothing engages, so I sits. The sun is out and I could roam the neighborhood for sights and smells but it would probably just be car exhaust and dog peed lawns, so I sits and stares instead. Maybe in a bit I will get some yummies for dinner and watch a movie, so many movies to choose from, not sure I can decide, so maybe I will just sits some more. Tomorrow I have a lot of errands/things to do, so perhaps sitting while I can is best. Have a nice weekend. 1 1 “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM Posted yesterday at 01:43 PM Trip Report! I took the family to NYC this last week. It was the first time for all of us. My wife just turned 50, and my daughter is going off to college in the fall, so I figured this was a good reason to celebrate with a pretty big trip. It was a stretch financially, but I did my best to make it a special trip. Here are some highlights: Skating in Central Park: We actually packed our ice skates for this trip. An entire suitcase was dedicated to bringing our hockey skates across the country. It was worth it. We got out on the Central Park rink and it was beautiful. The hole park is amazing and I ran through it every day, despite the temperature feeling like it was in the low single digits. Skating with my wife and kids was my favorite moment. Dungeons and Dragons 20-sided Tavern: This was a fun improv show a bit off broadway. It was interactive. You chose whether you were a warrior, rogue, or wizard, and then you used your phone to vote on decisions for the party. My son really enjoyed this one. They were amazing at improv. The Great Gatsby: I'm actually going to talk about the show on a separate thread, since it affected me more dramatically than anything else I've ever watched. But needless to say, the whole family enjoyed it and it was a perfect Broadway show. We stepped out of the matinee show and it was snowing in Manhattan, so it was a pretty magical moment. I still feel like I barely scratched the surface of what Manhattan has to offer. We went to the Bone Museum in Brooklyn, we took the Subway, we visited the 9/11 Memorial. I ate bagels every day. But there was a lot I didn't get to. Hopefully someday we will take another shot at it. Maybe when the weather is better too. 3
Hurlshort Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Oh, I also saw a massive ad for Avowed in Times Square. It was one of the corner ones that stretches around. Here are a few more good photos of our trip: The Bone Museum in Brooklyn One really good family photo. I don't know how we got the angsty teenager to smile. 3 1

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted 14 minutes ago Posted 14 minutes ago I'm going to be honest, the last picture has me scared because yall look like a horror movie family about to run into some nonsense. Be careful on the flight or drive back. But it really looks like a fun time. The DnD improv looks pretty cool if I'm being honest.
