Thanksgiving was an exhausting whirlwind, but it was good. Got to spend some time with family who made the long trip up to see us, since we can't really go anywhere for the major holidays. Our puppy is crashed on her bed, totally exhausted from play…

Ugh! Every time I do the Tar Pits quest, I think this.

Third year in a row of enjoying a full Thanksgiving meal that neither my wife nor I are cooking. It's a good day

I keep a fairly keep house most of the time anyway. But the house is now cleaner than it has been in... well, since maybe we moved in. Family and dogs are coming tomorrow for a stay through the weekend, so tonight, we dined in peace for the last tim…

(Quote) Which means it's probably a minor cold (I'm one of those guys, according to my wife, that doesn't get sick very often; so when I do, I apparently make a big huge fuss about it, even if it's not that serious).

That's the secret--they don't care about losing gold. It's not about making a profit.

I just can't get into the new Pokemon. I never had the money to buy more than the games I started with, but I've at least glanced every now and then. But the few pictures of new Pokemon I've seen have been absolutely ridiculous and silly, like they'…Every time Ev gets serious and asks, "Who are you?", I picture him as this guy:

Late to the party, but yes @Rancoura, has there EVER been any doubt that you're an RP/emote goddess?
Yesterday I made a really tough decision that, as I debated it, had been making my physically ill for weeks. Now that it's out of the way, I can start looking forward.
Started a retreat today, will be at it until Wednesday. Internet is spotty, but I'll try to be around almost every day. If I suddenly stop responding, I probably lost my connection.
My high school marching band, no matter where they placed tonight, performed in the Bands of America Grand National Championship Finals for the 32nd straight year, a BOA record. We alumni couldn't be prouder of these kids!in Real World Raves Comment by Everiine November 2016
Hey, I offered! (Still stands...)
I'm curious, since I've been reading up on the electoral college system and the history of elections in the United States, do other countries have weird/odd provisions in how elections are handled, or how representatives are chosen?
(Quote) And it used to be even worse. Back when the states were founded, the idea of the sovereignty of the state (not the people in it) was even stronger. Many states didn't even have a popular vote. Many state legislatures elected the elect…Actually, if neither candidate wins 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives votes for the President. But each representative doesn't get a vote--each state delegation as a whole gets one vote. The Senate votes separately for the vice-presi…Turtle-ception.It's actually kind of amazing how many contingency plans are in place in case elections don't go smoothly. Many of them have never had to be used, but they're in place anyway. I was fascinated reading about how the electoral college works, and what …Technically, the election won't be over until the electors in each state vote on December 19, and the results read aloud at the Joint Session of Congress on January 6.
Yes, we have a complicated system.
But don't manses become ships by hatching algontherine eggs, which grow into big aethercreatures, with manses basically riding on the backs of them? Or somesuch thing. My understanding is that manses don't become ships, they get attached to the crea…Don't think it really counts as closing. But, that would definitely be a plus. I owe a LOT more to my graduate school, which is basically rejoining the undergraduate school.
My graduate and under-graduate schools are merging (reuniting, really, as they used to be one institution). I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.
I don't read anything from the org's OOC clan, because such places tend to always descend into pointless bitching that contributes to an unfun atmosphere. I'll stick to our tiny family clan.
Serenguard Torgaddon Hartfire says to Eleniel, "I don't know what it is. I just acted rudely to one of my Serenguard."
Curiously, Glimmer of Moondust, Eleniel says to Torgaddon, "Has there been any recent changes? Have you been astral(Quote) So, what I'm hearing is that we Seren are welcome to come and deal them the justice the little thieves deserve.
There's no possibility I misheard or misinterpreted that statement. Nope.

Somebody order pizza and beer for all the admins!
(Quote) Ev's not usually made a big deal out of it, but he always uses "the Lord/Lady/Lord-and-Lady" whenever talking about a God by using Their name; and he HATES to see mortals wearing Lord/Lady as a title. He will always leave it out when…
