The Old Hack

Nonsense. That was invented 138.000 years ago by Ug in the hamlet of Zug when he uttered the famous sentence 'Glug rug hug.'

I miss the times back when Egyptian pop culture was in vogue. It's not that I have anything against Japanese pop culture, mind. It is just that hieroglyphs and Eyes-of-Horus are so classy.

It is a serious issue and I wish I had a solution I could be sure worked. Unfortunately I do not. My mother was an alcoholic as well. I also have issues with drug dependencies, especially as pertains to alcohol. My wife has had her own scrapes with these and we have discussed them. It is fair to say that I am terrified of this happening in my life again. But the thing is, every time there has been a danger of it, my wife has stopped herself in time. I have learned to trust her judgment. This hasn't made me less frightened but the fact that I trust her means I can manage my fear. This is, of course, between her and me. What works for us may not be the right solution for you. Still, I understand your wife and sympathise with her; it is a terrible fear to confront. Ultimately, I feel, it will be important for you and her to find a balance, a solution where she can trust your ability to manage the drug. This will involve talking to one another on what may be difficult and painful topics for you both. Listen to her fears, respect them, even if they don't sound rational. Fear doesn't need to be rational in order to be crippling. It just needs some vaguely plausible possibility to feed on in order to grow out of control. Only through mutual understanding can a lasting solution be found. Trust is all-important here. Try to find a basis for mutual trust. If you can achieve that, everything else will become easier. Not necessarily easy, mind, just easier.

I wish you had gotten a picture. Oh, speaking of, thank Mrs. Prof for all the trail camera pictures she has been kind enough to share. They are adorable, especially the ones of your feral colony feeding

This means that we absolutely cannot vote any snail into office. Not only does every snail insist on having its own mobile home, its wife must have one, too. And every single child gets one of its own. That is quite simply flagrant waste and overspending.

Guys, I have been totally flooded with spam reports, and to make matters worse, the spammers themselves are making random reports to mess up the report center. I have to ask you to, when you encounter spam, send me a simple spam alarm personal message and mention which forum it is happening in. Clearing up the report center is a task in its own right and with this much happening I can't keep up with it. Thanks in advance, ~tOH.

Nonsense. "The Raven" was about Amanda. Adrian Paul played Duncan MacLeod.

I guess the fire department in that town has 101 members.

I think you're right, especially given the fact that they are sterile and the way they keep decapitating one another on a semi-regular basis.

"You are now entering Craterville."

Moperville may not be available on Saturday.

I'd vote for an octopus over the current PM of Denmark any day of the week. And over the two before that, for that matter.

Call him Fall Out Boy. "We could be immortals, immortals, just not for long, for long..."

I dunno. I don't think I'd want to add my iPhone to spiced herbal tea.

It's the rise of the alt-center. It has caused an incredible increase in intolerance of and bigotry against seemingly random species. Here in Denmark there is an entire letting agency that does not allow its customers to have duck-billed platypi in their apartments. For that matter, just ask the Pharaoh. You wouldn't believe the anti-hippopotamus sentiments common for most homeowners in Egypt during the Ptolemaic period.

Hijack? I seem to remember you creating it. And that others have benefited from posting about their troubles in it, too.

Got my vote! I would not really blame them.

HEY! Be nice to the members of the Danish Parliament! You can't just... just... ...excuse me. I was trying to come up with a reason as to why you should be nice to them, but for some reason I came up with a complete blank.

What! How about the awe-inspiring TOGATEIRU FOHKU KOHGEKI!

Damn straight. This thread has become a fixture of this forum and I am sure I am not the only one who is grateful that you have been journaling so patiently in it. Your new doctor sounds like he has his head screwed on straight. I am hoping for more good news soon.

Like the high speed psychotic Dire Chickens that one DM created on a NWN server I once played on.

Tell me about it. Spending seven years mismedicated because of a misdiagnosis that was never corrected or even questioned cured me of any faith I had in the medical system for long years.

I am working on it. It is most likely some sort of hijack. I will try to see if blocking scripts will help. I deleted a thread that had been infected with this crap but that may have been overreacting.

It reminds me of a tavern in a friend's D&D game. As we approached it, we saw a sign on the outside reading "NO GHOULS PERMITTED." Clearly this was a classy place. We decided to board there for the night.
