Guard Dog Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I'm attending a Memorial Day service at the VFW in a few hours. I hate dressing up but I'm not buying on of those "uniforms" they like to sell there. When I turned my rifle in I was done with uniforms too. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

I know that there are many soldiers who are so done with war that they're anti-war. Hell, if I'm not mistaken, many vets voted for Gary Johnson and William Weld because they were anti-interventionist. Compare that to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who are both warmongers.

Azdeus Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Went back to work after 4 weeks off, and for the first time in 4 weeks there was rainfall. It's been 4 weeks of 25C+ until today.

Hurlshort Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Went on a crazy 50 mile ride with 2400 feet of climbing on my road bike. I was hanging pretty well with the group until the last 5 miles or so, so I am getting better. Time to relax. 3

We're going to get along well Gritino. Just a feeling. I think so too. Frankly, I never believe what the mainstream media tells me. They lie about America's "enemies" and they don't even bother with the anti-interventionist crowd anymore. So much for being fair and balanced. They've convinced a huge swath of people that Russia either "hacked" or influenced the elections and that Assad created those chemical attacks without any evidence. It's "weapons of mass destruction" all over again. And somehow Obama was supposed to be the "anti-war" candidate, even when he turned Libya into a hellhole. You can't trust these politicians. They speak in lies. Edit: I should keep this in the politics thread though. Edited May 29, 2018 by Gritino
LadyCrimson Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 My knees had a falling out with me over the weekend. Guess I've been sitting at the desk too much the past couple months, hah. Two skinny heating pads wrapped around ... ahhh, that's better. I need that hottub we always keep talking about maybe sticking on the patio. Tell my hubby to get on that for me, will ya? “Things are as they are.

majestic Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I think I might have solved an issue at work that's been hounding me for the better part of two weeks now. It still depends on an external factor (meh, the customer) and might fail due to that, but it is a simple and elegant solution, and the alternative is to call off the entire project. I'm cautiously optimistic that neither side wants that. Edited May 29, 2018 by majestic 2 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Tale Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Last Wednesday I basically scrapped the new writing project I'd been working on for a month and a half. I put it back on track, focused on the tone I was aiming for, made an outline to keep me from wandering off again, and in the past 3 days alone I've written about half of what was lost and had a blast doing it. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorth Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 No videos, but if anyone is planning on watching 'The Wizard of Oz' in your own country/city, I can warmly recommend it.

Gritino Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Watched that Pokemon game trailer. Probably not going to get it.
Raithe Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 I've spent the last week pretty much unwinding after wrapping up the university stuff. Now it's that pause for final grades and formal graduation in July. Got caught up on stories on WuxiaWorld, so wasting many, maaaany hours reading. Keep meaning to get back into playing Deadfire, but the reading distracts me, and I'm actually tempted to just wait till the dlc is out in September before properly getting back into it. Still, getting the mental reserves back into order and I should start prepping to do the job hunt soon... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Gorgon Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Left something in the oven and fell asleep. Still alive my place didn't burn down, but now it smells like soot everywhere. I have to wash off every surface. This must be what non smokers go through on a regular basis. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

ShadySands Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 This must be what non smokers go through on a regular basis. Glad you're okay. My wife is very sensitive to smoke and can't go into a heavy smoker's vehicle or home at all. Me, I don't enjoy it but it's not unbearable or anything like that and besides most of our friends and family who smoked have switched to vaping or e-cigs so they can be more social around us non-smokers.

Gritino Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 After work, I went to a pet store and bought a set of dog shoes for my Labrador Retriever. Summer is fast approaching and I am preferring to do some hiking with my Dog and a couple of friends. That's pretty cool. I'm going to go back to doing a lot of walking.
Hurlshort Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Yesterday I got home and jumped on the bike to hit a big hill. The wind was pretty crazy. I made fantastic time getting to the hill, hovering around 22 mph, and then it was a solid 1000 foot climb to the top. The ride home was a grind though, had to push past the headwind. Still it was a beautiful ride. I managed to get up and swim early this morning, so I feel like I'm on track for my next race.
