Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

"Thinking about today. Feeling sorta slow, think I'll just wander into the kitchen and eat some, then take a nap. Might help The Human on the desk, I don't know" - Explorer the Cat.
-
As seen in https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2009-12-12it seems that Immortals can completely conceal their magical presence even from their own kin. If Adrian is unable to sense his own mother, then it is reasonable that Tedd can not sense her reincarnation. Anyway, Tedd’s excited expression makes me think that he is thinking “Ah! A kindred soul!” in response to seeing someone with a Pandora-marked genderbending transformation spell.

I find this comic odd. Tedd has in the past been able to observe spells being cast, and known how they worked. This time, he sees a static spell effect and knows what it is. He has never had this ability in the comic before, it was uniquely Luke's. A possibility is that Sam is not a male, but is constantly maintaining the illusion, much like pouring milk over an object to make it white rather than painting it. The commentary hints at this. Seems terribly inconsistent. Also, why did he not sense that Hope reeks of magic?

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-054 Space for spoilers: I wonder how much Tedd can tell about Sam's magic. I also wonder what Tedd plans on doing with that knowledge. On the one hand he probably can't just keep the knowledge to himself given Sam is dating Sarah who is Tedd's friend; on the other hand if Tedd knows Sam has a sex-change enchantment, sharing that info would be revealing things about Sam that Sam doesn't want shared. I just really hope if Tedd talks to Sam about it, Tedd doesn't say anything offensive (particularly unintentionally); this is a sensitive subject and I could see Tedd jumping in without thinking things through.

"I'm on the table not the desk. Way out of the way. I'll join you on the desk later in the morning" - Explorer the Cat.

IT seems like she's going to become part of the core group, and be on their level in some way.

I meant counseling as individuals, moving forward. Actually, was just referring to him, he's the only one he has control over. It's a pity she rejects counseling. It sounds like she needs the assistance. Does she get any treatment at all?

Getting into one of the grooves (gutters) is easy. Staying out of them is what takes some practice.

Tip 1. The balls are deliberatly not balanced. The centre of mass is not the centre of the sphere. 2. The lanes are waxed or oiled unevenly. Balls rolling down the lane move or remove some finish each frame. 3. Better to use a ball too light than too heavy. You may loose some power, but you are less likely to hurt yourself. 4. Rental shoes? Disposable socks.

I haven't been bowling this century. I would need some tips to get back in the groove.

I suspect that before the game is over she will gotten over a lot of her current shyness.

"Gonna start my running early this morning" - Explorer the Cat.

Yes, there were circumstances she raised which led to her decisions. I merely pointed to the "emotional affair" as the final inciting incident which led to the demise of their relationship. Oh, he realizes he had problems. I just didn't want to bring them up in such a short essay. To put things simply, he suffers from a form of "Non-24" sleep disorder which prevents him from having a regular sleep schedule. The way he sees it, she'd had enough of putting up with his disability. Combined with her own mental illnesses, which were beginning to become non-trivial, things got to be too much for her. She has flat out refused counseling. It's a non-starter.

I splurged at Hmart today, tried Korean sushi, which is less fish based. It was yummy, and not entirely like the sushi I'm used to. I also bought a curry pastry from the bakery/coffee shop, it was good, would buy again. I tried a yellow dragon fruit, curious if it tasted different than the other ones I see at Food Lion, a.k.a 'white dragon fruit', although the outsides are not white. (They also had red, but it was twice the price, so, no.) The yellow dragon fruit was essentially similar, but sweeter and more flavorful. These are not Asian, but Hmart has the best selection of produce of any supermarket in the area. I spent more than I intended, but am happy with my purchases.

Your son needs some space to deal with this; at the very least, in order to learn from it. Being too helpful can thwart his growth. I am not a fan of divorce, but sometimes it is desirable, even necessary, and delaying causes more pain. This one I know, lived it. From what I've seen, if they can break up amicably and agreeably, they are both better off. That would assume no kids are involved. This did not start with her '"emotional affair'. That also had a reason to be, so she was already unhappy. It doesn't mean your son did anything wrong. She may be just immature. He might ask himself, "Did I contribute to our breakup?" "Should I have seen this coming?" "What should I look for in future relationships?". You might help him most with the last one. If he was a factor, he should own up to it and seek assistance. Counseling can help (but be selective, he should be sure it's helping).

Cats generally do not fare well in those cartoons either.

That's a tune I have not heard in a while. Used to be ubiquitous.

Don't bother watching online tips, Catalina Until you pick up a bowling ball and roll it down a few lanes, the tutorials won't make any sense But if it turns out you are a natural, you might make your own bowling tutorials as the "Alley Cat" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL9aLYExM_c

Thinking about the big problems instead of sleeping One of the worst things humans can do to themselves and how I spend most of my time in bed

At this rate, it will take one hundred ninety eight out of her two hundred years just for Hope to reconcile who she is vs who she was

Ah, but EGS isn't a slapstick cartoon, it's a transformation comic*. Of course, traditionally the results of pushing the button still would still have been something Diane wasn't happy with, but in comedy one of the greatest traditions is breaking from tradition. * When it's not a drama, or an urban fantasy, or a gaming webcomic.

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/doubledate-013 You've gotta admire Catalina's self-confidence.
-
https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/doubledate-012 Wasn't this part of the reason Diane didn't want to share knowledge of magic? Certainly there's a lot of this reasoning going around (and the reasoning winds up pretty ironic when people one is "protecting" from magic actually know about it anyway).
-
The fact that magic is not public knowledge suggests to even those not in the know about the masquerade that magic is something to keep hidden. And so most people keep their magic secret, and the cycle continues. (Plus there are the reasons Rhoda thinks about in the next strip.)
