What you did today

Wonder what it is about kids and screaming. Neighborhood has some young girls that play in the street and it's nothing but shrieking from them. Sets my dachshunds off barking when they do, so neighbours must love those moments :lol:

 

Should be productive today, a lot of stuff to clean.

:lol: Taken out of context that quote would have the FBI trolling this board in a second.

 

Who am I kidding, they already are here watching Val, WoD & me!

Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoors experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person.----Fred Bear

Was planning to do school work today, but then I got a massive migrane so I've been trying to fight that off.

I went to a kind of rennesaince fair/fantasy cosplay type event yesterday and I witnessed a very heated discussion about wyverns and dragons and their number of limbs.

 

Is this the kind of thing geeks argue about these days? Because I'll hand in my geek card then. A dragon and a wyvern are whatever the hell you want them to be because they don't exist. Show me a scientific, peer reviewed paper that without a doubt proves that Smaug is a wyvern and then we'll talk.

If this is anything to go by, yes. Mind you, dragons have always sparked unduly long essays from geeks.

Watched Liverpool beat Norwich. I'm not sure I will make it through the season without a heart attack.

The exciting battle for fourth rages on, wanted United to win but at the same time watching their decline this year has been most satisfying.

Played Magic The Gathering with friends and utterly destroyed them with my black-blue card removal and counterspell deck. I didn't win by getting their life points down to zero, nope, that would have been too boring and thats not how my deck works, I used combos and extremely nasty hard-to-remove creatures to slowly put their entire deck into their graveyards. They simply ran out of cards in a couple of turns and died while still having tons of health. 

I fed on their frustration and desperation like a tick on blood, I enjoyed it a lot. Though I think they'll never play MTG with me again.

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Can't sleep, bad case of hiccups. Maybe if I hold my breath until I pass out...

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Lady GD is working tonight. I can't sleep so I think I'll go sit on the porch, drink a highball or two of Knob Creek and just listen to the night sounds and count the stars.

Black and Blue is awesome, I have a pretty wicked Faerie deck myself Notorious Throng and Oona's various Fays are rather fun, like the Blackguard.. Managed to get 3 turns in a row and took out 4 players at once with 2 of those. Yum yum

 

And right not I've made myself a pretty good human sacrifice to Zombies deck. People tend to get nervous when your start killing your own to fuel magic. :)

Overheard my mother speaking to a friend of the family and was listening to her being dragged into selling stuff for Amway being placed in the same "team" as my cousin and her boyfriend. After they had finished I told my mother what I knew about Amway and their business model wich pretty much ended in a shrug from her, not being bothered.

 

I'm very bothered by it. I don't like the thought of her getting tied up in such filth.

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. Mencken

I know about Amway, we also have them in South Africa. What is your primary issue with there business model?

:lol:  Let's start with the fact that it's a pyramid scheme when you get right down to it!

I thought Amway was like Avon, Mary Kay or Tupperware - it was a direct selling company.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Well that is what is confusing  me as well, you sell direct and it does have real products

 

But from I understand you can also setup people to sell under you, so it is also a pyramid scheme?

They aren't truly pyramid schemes, because you can actually turn a profit simply by selling the products.  They are called multi-level marketing companies.  My wife sells Mary Kay.  She made a bit of money the first year because she was actively throwing parties, but the last couple of years she has taken a small loss.  However that loss is pretty much covered by the amount of product she uses, so I figure we break even.

Based on the packaging, I expect it is a micro-SIM card.
