    Gaming and Gamers

    Oooooh boy where to begin on this thread.... Let me start at the begining. I started gaming, back in the day, on an old Commodore 64 my parents had. Playing things like Frogger and Q-Bert, as well as things like Bruce Lee's Kung Fu and Zork 1-3 (I later tracked down a CD that has all the Zork...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Feeling odd, as I do most holidays. I look at Facebook and see most of my friends talking about spending time with friends and family today while I get ready to pull a seven hour shift at retail. I'll admit, I'm not a big one for Christmas (I personally prefer Yule), but it's important to those...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Today was a weird day. Started off early and in the workshop. Started working away on some things to sell. Then I realized I had messed up some math and forgot to take some things into account and that several of the items where dubiously useful at best. Then the headache hit me out of the blue...

    I'm in pain. Not sure what i did to myself, but I've had sharp, needle like pains in my left knee randomly ever since I came back from my weekend in the woods. I think I hurt it dropping to a knee on a rock/stick or something. I LOVE old sewing machines. They have all metal guts and thus can...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    Feeling bleh today. I somehow had an amazing Black Friday at work (as in everyone was so nice, there where no fights, and everything went better then expected), but still the season is wearing on me. I'm going to drop Pretty Lady a line later and, perhaps, that'll lift my spirits as everything...

    What did you do today that made you smile?

    I spent some time in the workshop today, listening to a Dresden Files ebook and doing some work. I made a black ring belt with the Norse runic alphabet stamped into it with the runes painted gold. It's for Yoda for tomorrow. It's got some flaws with it I'm not 100% happy about, but I learned a...

    Fighting off depression. Being bi-polar I sometimes get deep dives into depression and it's been months since my last one, so I don't want to give into it again. BrigidsDaughter turned in her two week notice at work today because of how unprofessional her work place is. Since she was the one of...

    Woeful reminders of my age

    It's amazing how quickly people feel old these days. I'm only in my 30s and I'll say something at work around some of the other people at my level and they'll just stare at me like I had a penis growing out of my forehead. Then I remember that these people where sitting in their own poop while I...

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    I'm actually doing pretty damn good today. I had forgotten to take my anti-inflammatories for my feet this morning before work, so when I got home I took them and was pretty much couch-bound until they kicked in, so I took a nap! Putted around a little bit with BrigidsDaughter after she got back...

    What did you do today that made you smile?

    "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas A. Edison You are not alone in thinking like that. ;) As for what I did; I came home from work in a bit of a funk, then sat down and watched a movie, which made me smile and the funk go away. Sometimes it's little...

    I'm doing damn good. Had a nice anniversary with BrigidsDaughter, and looking forward to having dinner tomorrow night with Pretty Lady and Wendigo at the best Chinese restaurant we've ever eaten at. Been playing games with friends lately (League of Legends and City of Heroes) and rewatching...

    What did you do today that made you smile?

    I know today has been only going for about an hour, but I crawled into bed, cuddled up to my wife, and kissed her cheek before wishing her a happy anniversary. Now if only I could sleep it would be perfect.

    Feeling refreshed for some reason. I'm about to head down to the workshop and knock a few things out for the weekend. While nothing about my situation has changed, I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment.

    Reflections of a Liar

    Having been cheated on, and cheated myself, I know how long and hard it can be to rebuild trust. However both sides have to budge on the issue if anything is to get resolved. Forgiveness and communication are key. I'd say more, but I don't want to stir up trouble and drama.

    The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

    So does that mean I should always feel lost? :p Just a jab at how things work out for me. Other then that, doing pretty good today. Picked up my rune stamp set yesterday and I'm working out what projects I want to build with them. Might put some stuff together to sell before/during the holiday...

    I'm doing pretty good right now. Spent the weekend out in the woods being a geek and came down with a case of the Mundane Mondays. My wife forgot to cook the lunch we bought for me for today, but she made it for me for dinner. Just wrapped up a documentary and am feeling better about life in...

    O.o Kaos, what's got you all worked up? I mean, I know the world is a pretty shitty place right now with the US government showing it's true colors, Europe about to collapse financially, and every news outlet boo hooing over a dead guy rather then paying attention to what they should be paying...

    BDSM discussion

    Even though I like my kink, I have more vanilla sex then kinky sex. Not every session in bed, for me anyways, needs to be full of BDSM. Sometimes all I want/need is a good old fashioned roll in the hay. Also, I would never push kinky sex on someone who didn't want it. It just might not be their...
