Gromnir Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Had a stomach flu earlier this week that had me vomiting so violently I lacerated my esophagus. The resulting pain and fever has taken me a while to recover from. hope you feel better. as an aside... http://www.healthtalk.umn.edu/2013/01/24/stomach-flu-myth/ HA!

WDeranged Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Had something of a mental episode this weekend. Slept for 2 hours in two days. Tried a tranquilliser but it just gave me a brain tickle for half an hour. I had a weird zen period towards the end. Sleep deprivation is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromnir Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Wife had her citizenship oath today. It was an interesting experience that saw more than a couple people crying. I also found it amusing to see what places most of the people came from. Mexico had the most with 6 or so people followed by the UK and Germany with 4 and 3. I don't think any other countries had more than 2 but as far as continents go then Africa had the most folks followed by Asia. Canada only had one congrats. what does one eat to celebrate us citizenship? barbecue? cheeseburgers, fried chicken and blueberry pie? had a russian friend o' ours from the gym we frequent pass his uscis civics test last year. he bet us $100 we couldn't pass one o' his practice exams. have known the guy for a couple years, but we never mentioned our real job. didn't take his money as it felt like we were conning him. HA! Good Fun! ps in the spirit o' full disclosure, Gromnir typical tells folks we is in "waste management" when asked what we do for a living.

I did actually know that, but I figure the term stomach flu is so prevalent it counts as a shorthand for contagious gastrointestinal virus these days and it's much quicker to type on my phone.

Malcador Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Well don't die TrueNeutral, we've run out of sensible people that aren't mods, so they can't replace you.

Raithe Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Alas, many innocent threads gave their life.... I've actually spent the weekend doing as little as possible beyond chilling, reading, poking at a few games and that sort of thing. Letting my legs recover. My bank balance might thank me by the time Christmas arrives, but I'm not sure my feet will forgive me - averaging that 20-25km walk every shift has definitely been a new experience. Plus, five weeks of this might not have been the best of time to break in new boots. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Like maybe a lot of theads were deleted or maybe the site was down for awhile. Welcome to the forums, I meant to say this earlier Actually you right and it appears most people have forgotten what big event did happen Many of us were fixated and consumed by the US election on this forum and in RL There were constant debates, conspiracy theories and incomprehensible comments from Trump, I was on a forum and media high for 6-8 months .... So now I imagine we all just chilling for a bit as the election was very emotional for most of us on different levels 1 "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.

The Codex also hates the RPG Watch which is actually the real place for sophisticated RPG discussion and not the Codex where you're more likely to find a racist or homophobic thread. Once upon a time, the RPG Codex was considered a serious place back when developers from Bethesda and Bioware posted on them but after being threatened with rape (yeah, seriously) by the basement dwellers there, the developers decided they had enough abuse from the neckbeards and blocked off all communications with the 'dex. The result is that the Codex has been butt mad ever since towards Bethesda and Bioware. In truth, the Codex is the place you'd want to go if you want to gossip about developers and their private lives because you're a weirdo.
