Malcador Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Nice Cant, I need to get on that once I cure myself of Crippling Laziness. Bought myself a birthday gift, an Archer C7 router - it is supposedly good value, but knowing my luck it will be a POS. Don't have anything that works on ac though, but I figure going from g to n will help. Why has elegance found so little following?

Longknife Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I was depressed. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
Woldan Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Today I did some 100kg shoulder presses standing followed by 45kg single arm dumbbell presses. I'm getting better, but progress has been really slow lately. Maybe its because of the heat which dampens my motivation to lift heavy. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Cantousent Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 WoT hasn't been counting posts for a while now. There are people with less than a quarter of my post count who have three times as many posts.

Vaeliorin Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 *shrug* I somehow have 352 posts (it used to be over 400...) when I'd be surprised if I had half of that. I remember I'd posted here less than a dozen times way back when, and when I came back a couple years ago I mysteriously had exactly 400 posts.

Azdeus Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't have survived your childhood, eventually I would have died from cumulative head injuries. I don't know why you still haven't enlisted into the Swedish Navy to become a submarine sailor, you spent your whole childhood in one! Pfft, I'd get spoiled. Would'nt be able to sleep in my own home anymore due to claustrophobia. :< Past few days, I've had a really, really sore throat, and today it is becoming a full cold. One of the worst ones I've had so far, I cought it from a friend that had been to Turkey so possibly it's because I've never encountered this virus before. I hate it, and I want to exterminate it. Mostly by gurgling whiskey and drinking tea. Or was that gurgling tea and drinking whiskey? o.o ... Bah, bit disappointed in my father. Tried to get him to lend his camera and stand to me for the night, since I'm going to watch the perseids. But no luck. :/ I've been trying for a week to get him to do so, but he just plain refuses. Anyone else going to watch them?

Woldan Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 32 Celsius room temperature and today is deadlift and squat day. Not funny... I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Azdeus Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) 32 Celsius room temperature and today is deadlift and squat day. Not funny... Did you get out last night to grab any pic's of the Perseids? I got a couple of good looks, some whose debris hung in the air for several seconds afterwards, aweomse stuff! But I could only watch for an hour and a half before some really thick fog invaded. Wich was awesome in another kind of way, but not what I wanted just that night. :/ Edited August 13, 2015 by Azdeus 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.

Woldan Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Did you get out last night to grab any pic's of the Perseids? I was sitting outside for hours staring at the night sky and I all I saw was a single shooting star. The night sky was pretty clear so maybe they weren't visible form my location. Very disappointing.

Raithe Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) (e): Officially, I blame Raithe for spamming the funny things thread. Just because that's the way I deal with approaching my mid-life crisis. Still, since I haven't actually posted in this thread in awhile, I suppose I should actually be somewhat serious. The cancer and continuing medical conditions finally hit their peak last week and my mother passed on in that grand journey. So it's been the running day by day juggling things with my father and sister to get everything sorted. Funeral plans and all the rest of that needed legal issues that result from bereavement. Now after having spent the last fifteen years as her carer, and having had that as a central piece of my life I have to re-figure who I am without that and where I'm going from here.

Hurlshort Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Raithe, I'm terrible sorry for your loss. Your commitment and dedication to your family and your mother are simply amazing, and I hope you can look back on the last 15 years and know that you went above and beyond for her. 2

I'm sorry Raithe, I want to say your commitment and diligence to your moms health has been nothing but impressive.

Orogun01 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 After getting moderately drunk for the the second day in a row I have began to wonder if i'm an alcoholic. I have some trouble controlling the amount that I drink sometimes but I'm always somewhat coherent (thanks to spellcheck) and can easily quit but I do wonder what makes someone an alcoholic. Oh and I sent my glasses to get the prescription changed, i'm using my old glasses and I can't see ****. 1 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Bartimaeus Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Hey, some of my family members get moderately to extremely drunk literally every day, and perpetually insist that they don't have a problem. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Just because that's the way I deal with approaching my mid-life crisis. Still, since I haven't actually posted in this thread in awhile, I suppose I should actually be somewhat serious.

Now after having spent the last fifteen years as her carer, and having had that as a central piece of my life I have to re-figure who I am without that and where I'm going from here. Well, that was about the worst timing I could've ever possibly had for what was supposed to be a stupid, flippant remark that I came up with pretty much at random. That's awful to hear...best of luck and here's to hoping for happier days to come. Edited August 14, 2015 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Oh and I sent my glasses to get the prescription changed, i'm using my old glasses and I can't see ****. Good question, I don't think there is one definitive answer to what makes someone an alcoholic as it will vary from person to person I am a binge drinker for example so when I drink I tend to drink loads but I can easily go 2 weeks without a single drink But I suppose the best definition for an alcoholic is where you are sober and you really start to crave alcohol to the point where there is a physiological impact ..like your hand is shaking or you are irritated or uneasy until you have a drink. So in other words the lack of alcohol in your system has a noticeable effect on your thinking Edited August 14, 2015 by BruceVC "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ManifestedISO Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 At that point, they've likely been an alcoholic all their life, whether they knew it or not. There is a gene for it, evidently. Disparate from addictive personalities, supposedly. All Stop. On Screen.
