Raincloak Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I busted out the spices and fixed a cup of hot masala chai tea from scratch. Black pepper, star anise, clove, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, turmeric, nutmeg, honey, fresh milk, the whole works. (God, I'm so lucky to live in a world where this array of goodies is mine for a few dollars a jar. Stuff I'm drinking for breakfast would be worth gold a couple hundred years ago.) It really hit the spot on a day when I feel like comfort and nourishment are in order. 5 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

Butternut Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 My husband texted me today while I was at work pulling a double and staying late to get orders in so I can be home tomorrow with the kids. "Im really proud of how hard you work. " It was the sweetest thing. 4 Quote "One should eat to live, not live to eat." -Molaire- "People always forget their hangover" -My dear ol' dad "People are born to live, while some are born to evolve."

Wobbegong Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm watching the latest season of this anime I love, and there's an over-the-top character who in previous seasons had named his pecs (Andy and Frank). This time he's returned and he's named his back Fabian. I'm so pleased it's ridiculous. Ride on, Izumida. Quote Link to comment
Jittersthe.Clown Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 The rest of my family went camping yesterday for one night. My daughter left me a sweet note telling me not to miss them too much. She left it on the egg carton because she didn't want me to find it right away. 3 Quote Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

I work in a diesel engine distribution warehouse. I'm the junior engineer there which means we get an engine, and the customer wants a certain setup, so I design the brackets, wiring harness, and pretty much anything else that gets bolted on, then I build it, test it, and certify it. The picture is the current engine I'm working on, and 8.8 liter, 250kw generator. The radiator is taller than I am... I fuckin love it. 2 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

zeroh13 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Listening to pandora and one of my favorite songs that I haven't heard in ages plays. "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" by Filter & The Crystal Method. It's on the Spawn soundtrack, which I bought back in high school. 2 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment

Guzzi Posted July 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm a bit late with this but I got to see some topside modules for the new drilling platform that is being constructed in the Mariner Oil Field. They are fecking massive!!! . . . Here's a video of them being installed . . And a cool vid of them being loaded onto the ships in South Korea, where they were built, to be transported to Shetland. 3 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
Wobbegong Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Humpback whales sighted! Caught some whales playing oceanside of the Golden Gate Bridge while crossing it this morning. I was on a bus, so I got to stare at them instead of the traffic. Pretty cool for a commute! 3 Quote Link to comment
zeroh13 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 So, not a cool as whales, but I do see deer fairly often on my commute. I was walking home last week, and I got about five away before the deer ran off. <3 1 Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine! Link to comment

Raincloak Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 So yesterday I was sitting huddled and weeping because I just wanted a little attention on my birthday and wasn't getting any. (I rarely do. Being a twin, adulting in a busy world, and a lifetime of not being very popular adds up to minimal attention on my special day. Though my grandparents always remember, bless them.) This evening (after some fairly explicit hints) a few people came over and brought me a cake and sang "Happy Birthday." And my folks, who are out of town, texted a sound file of them singing to me and my brother. I feel so much better now. 4 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Guest Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 So, arrived at a drive-thru only to see a massive hairy spider crawling up my windshield with the pace of Usain Bolt. Had to yell my order through a closed window, only to get to the payment window, where I had to slide the card through. Needless to say, car is now on sale. Current owner: spider. You may negotiate the price with the arachnid. Quote Link to comment
Raincloak Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The spider says I can have your car as long as I give him rides. Where do I pick it up? 1 Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Multi-day smile from my daughter, so there is a new girl in her school that has cochlear implants so when I went to pick up my daughter from after school care I saw the girl, my daughter and her friends all playing together at the same table as we were leaving I saw my daughter sign "Bye, see you later" and the girl signed the same thing back. The next morning the girl came rushing up and gave my daughter a big hug and started talking/signing with my daughter and my daughter talking and signing the words she knows back. 6 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........
