  1. What Are You Listening To?

    Biggest problem is getting a T-800 and a T-1000 to cooperate. I think they have something of an inter-model rivalry going.
  2. *nod* Let us hope it is easily treatable. I am glad that the podiatrist is coming this very day. He sounds competent, he should know what to do.

    You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs, or engaged in doing complicated long division sums. -- Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

  5. We can only hope that things will improve from here on. :/ At least your orthopodist is kind enough to give you that house call. Getting the stitches out will be good and he will be able to tell if the injury is behaving (i. e., healing) properly.

    Jim Butcher comes closer to getting fairies right than most post-Victorian stories do. Fairies are not cute nor nice. Terry Pratchett has a good idea of how benevolent they aren't, too.
  7. All of time and all of space....

    It's cold outside, no kind of atmosphere...

  9. I highly recommend destressing if at all possible. Your stress has been through the roof for a while, you need to find a way to relax, old friend.
  10. What Are You Watching?

    Maybe it will do better on a low-carb diet. Don't count it out yet.

    In the small hours of the night as I toss and turn, sleep eluding me remembering words you once whispered stills my fear, for I know you were right. You limned my life with your light a light finding worth I had never seen unearthing old dreams I had buried I relax, finding peace in the night.
  12. Please do. Vertigo is no joke. I hope improvement continues!
  13. Don't settle for any random conspiracy expert. Go directly to the best.

    Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need...
  15. Things that make you go WTF

    Don't tell anyone, but actually there are international agreements between paramedics of different armed forces on generating patients for one another so we can justify getting bigger budgets.
  16. Things that make you go WTF

    Two military oddities among many. For example, SEALs get equipped with boots. As a paramedic I was issued a rifle. Generals often get specific orders. And most strangely of all, sergeants have been known to have hearts.
  17. I was being facetious but thank you even so Me neither. Thank goodness for doctors with empathy and care for their patients.

    Hm. You could make that argument, of course, and I suppose that since 'battle' can be a fairly abstract and flexible term it could come out either way. If you were to classify it as an event, however, I'd nonetheless be perfectly content to argue that it belongs among the ten most important of British history.

    I am amazed that Dunkirk did not appear on either list. Ah well.
  20. Story, Friday May 26, 2017

    To be fair, I was only saying so tongue in cheek. Even so, a lot of good stories can come from terrible plans either gone awry or stopped at the last moment! (Half the supervillains in my old Champions tabletop game worked from really bad plans. The heroes worked to stop them not to keep them from success but in order to prevent the mess their inevitable failure would lead to...)
  21. Things that make you go WTF

    Nonsense. John Glenn was a Marine Corps aviator, hence Navy.
  22. Story Wednesday May 24, 2017

    But all this just leaves me wondering whether King R2 would later be followed by D2. Or maybe I am just confusing it with the legend of King R2 and the Jedi Knights of the Round Motherboard.

    This is a terrible plan. I can't wait to see Elliot begin to carry it into action.
