Rosbjerg Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 So one could say you made a "killer" profit? "badum-thss" Logged onto Obsidian on a regular PC instead of my cellphone and felt a surge of 'happiness of familiarity'.. Also, currently house sitting a rather beautiful country mansion (friends Family out travelling).. with free roaming horses, a nearby golf lane and lots of beautiful forests nearby. This journey around Denmark has almost been a spiritual for me (I know it sounds silly), but I've seen so many people, nature, old Family and friends.. I've discovered alot about my history and the history of the land.. I guess I forgot how important all of this is.. living in the city. 2 Fortune favors the bald.

Azdeus Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Painted a few window frames and then built my fathers new computer, he bought the parts i picked for him. The salesman screwed him over with the chassis though. This does'nt equate "Plain and simple". -.- I really don't like putting together other peoples computers, because I'm poor and unemployed, so I'm really paranoid about breaking anything... Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Calax Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Everything is going wrong at work. We ran out of trip sheets (so we have to remember to record the info by hand and mark it down), and then we ran out of gas on our company credit card. So we've been running the vans until they're almost empty, then swapping to another vehicle. Means that for right now and my next run I'm driving a MINIVAN! Mooshy suspension but it's better than the van who's got steering with more play than a football game and that slides all over the free way as you drive it. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

LadyCrimson Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Borderlands 2 with the hubby right now. Except he ran out of beer ... crisis, pause game! Back to it soon. Hard to imagine playing BL2 with anyone else at this point. We're like a well oiled team. An often confused and lost team, but at least we know how the other thinks/moves. 1 “Things are as they are.

Drowsy Emperor Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I've mentioned this before but World War One is the conflict that I am most fascinated with and I collect as many books around that war as I can, the problem is I have many excellent autobiographies written by the likes of Robert Graves and Sigfried Sassoon but very few books that represent the German side of the war and life in the trenches. Almost all the German perspectives of the war are written in German so purchasing them wouldn't help as I can't read or speak German Then I can wholeheartedly recommend you the book ''in Stahlgewittern'' (Storm of steel), the enthralling diary of Ernst Jünger, a (slightly fanatic) German troop officer in WWI ( ISBN 0-86527-310-3) - yes, there exists a translated version of this book, I think Amazon international sells them. One hell of an exciting book, he served in WWI from the beginning to its very end. Bruce, whats your second language? There exists tons of good German literature so its definitely a language worth learning. I'm a lucky bastard and can read manuscripts and books written by both sides of the conflict. I read a translated part (20 something pages) for my Peace Studies course. He left a strong impression . И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Malcador Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Peace studies ? What kind of hippy course is that ? Week off starting rather slowly as I've just been sitting here.

Blarghagh Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Why can't I ever post anything worth posting in this thread that's good news? My girlfriend missed her period last week and then got extremely sick this weekend. Turned out she was pregnant and it was ectopic. Thankfully the sickness seems to have been her body fixing it by itself, but we gotta pay attention and get some additional blood tests done later in the week. If it gets any worse, they might have to remove one of her Fallopian tubes. : /

Whats astonishing is I sold the rifle 10 minutes after I decided to get rid of it, and the price was not to shabby either. Thats a new record! What did you sell and what did you buy? I'm also interesting in what you bought/sold I dunno what's wrong with me but recently I've been browsing like crazy for a new gun to add to the collection. Hand guns mostly since there are restrictions in the city/county where I live that prohibit me from getting the one thing I truly want, an AR-15. I really miss long distance target shooting with iron sights... one of the few things I miss from the military. Currently eyeing a 9mm H&K P30 for use in the local indoor range. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with it? Pretty sure that half the forum now thinks I'm a crazy gun nut and I've also been added to a few NSA (and other 3 letter agency) watch lists EDIT: I should say that I'm waffling between the P30 and the Walther PPQ Edited July 15, 2013 by ShadySands 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Woldan Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) @ True NeutralSorry to hear that, hope everything goes well.What I did today?Soul crushing seemingly never ending office work for a salary thats barely enough to keep myself and my guns fed. To get my anger and frustration out of my system I did my favorite weight exercises today, 3 sets of 8 350 lbs barbell shrugs and 2 sets of one armed 160 lbs t-bar shrugs to hit the neck really hard. I love neck exercises. I'm also interesting in what you bought/sold Sold a Mauser 98 FR-8 308Win to buy a longer version (not the carbine version) of this rifle: As much as I love black tacticool modern rifles, nothing beats old simple military surplus warhorses, wood and steel, they just work and they're on the very top of my ''aesthetically pleasant things'' - list.

Woldan Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I've always loved the the M1Garand, the M1A and the M1 carbine, especially the paratrooper version of the latter. Sadly the government of my beloved country does not allow me to own said rifles for a bunch of reasons that do not make any sense at all. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
