Enoch Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 For those folks who have been following the continuing story of Enoch's Reproductive Drama, we are now past the point where stuff started to go horribly wrong a couple years ago. 20 weeks in, and everything looks normal. (This is roughly the halfway point of a pregnancy, and, at least in affluent American obstetrical practices, it is treated as a point where more detailed ultrasound assessments of the kid's internal anatomy, growth, etc., become more accurate and useful.) We are now beginning to face the likelihood that there is actually going to be a living baby at the end of this. Which is terrifying, but a different (better) kind of terrifying than what we had been dealing with. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is terrifying, but a different (better) kind of terrifying than what we had been dealing with. Nothing can prepare you for the moment you hold the little thing. Its like a movie explosion, with your old life exploding in a firey inferno behind you, but you're some kind of Stallone/Schwarzenegger hybrid not giving a **** and walking stoicly into the future. My kids are both the best and worst thing to happen to me. As an introvert, excessive human contact stresses me out, and kids mean constant human contact with no time to recharge. So I'm essentially a giant ball of tired stress with gorgeous kids. So here's hoping you can handle the lack of "me" time better than I do. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm, going to take it easy today. Drink a little rum, play some New Vegas or BGT, and rest up for a party going on tomorrow. Drinking heavily and pondering what to play. Hasn't this generally been how you've spend the last week or so? ... I approve.. You 2 are very similar in that regard, " two peas in a pod" I'm sure you would get on very well if you ever met in RL You're right. There are a lot of similarities between KP & Ros! The biggest difference is Ros has many girlfriends, KP has one! I actually broke up with her a while back.

Woldan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Played lots of Unreal Tournament 99. Don't know whats wrong with me today but I'm like a FPS killer machine of death and destruction on coke. Mid-air flak grenade hits, shock rifle long range kills, perfectly dodging 5 close quarter rockets in a row with the reaction time of a fly on godlike difficulty. It's like I'm on speed.

The biggest difference is Ros has many girlfriends, KP has one! I actually broke up with her a while back. And the biggest difference is that I have hair. If you were flatmates this would be your typical weekend conversation Kaine: So what should we do today, it is the weekend and we have all this housework to do? Ros: Not sure, but a quick drink wouldn't hurt? Kaine: Drinking so early on a Saturday? But you right...a quick drink has never hurt anyone Ros: But we really need to keep it simple....we do have responsibilities Kaine: Of course, well "buttoms up" Ros: That went down really well, lets have another one Kaine : Yeah...but only one more...and I have some Doritos for us to eat when we get hungry later A few days later after much drinking and visits to numerous clubs that involve some random encounters with women the intrepid flatmates finally return home Kaine: Wow that was a good party, but I'm feeling a little rough and we have all this housework to do Ros: Yeah ..but damn we had fun. Those ladies really know how to drink Kaine: I think I was in love...well time to start the housework Ros: Of course....should we have one quick drink? Kaine: A drink now? I don't think its a good idea Ros: You right...you right Kaine: But one drink never hurt anyone...and there are some Doritos left Ros: I'll get the glasses !!!

Woldan Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yesterday night I drank lots of beer, then I remembered that I took some heavy painkillers because of my ear infection. The alcohol amplified the painkillers a lot, I could pinch myself without feeling anything, thats when I started to worry. Pretty scary, I hope I didn't trash my liver. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Finally got asked to use the company IM, great now I can have my managers nag me even easier than before. I am rather amused at how the client is boned and really nothing we can do to fix it, will be great to hear what the idiots will come up with as well (one idea was to write UDP messages to a DB table and send them later, as this will make things go faster, somehow). But at least it is Friday, although that just means Monday is soon. Why has elegance found so little following?

Gorgon Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Breweries got a massive quality boost from the organic do it yourself trend over the last decade. The big name breweries realised that they had to start competing on quality or lose the domestic market. Danish beer used to be **** in other words. Not so anymore.
