Well, yes, it only took the lava over 40 000 earthquakes in the span of 3 weeks to finish buffering, Desi  

The location is sort of in the middle of the Reykjanes peninsula, so it’s kind of midway between the capital where I live, and the little town where my parents and baby sister & family live. But thankfully, the fissure is far enough away from the towns that there is very little danger. Biggest concern at the moment is gas emissions from the fissure going over townships, so authorities are issuing warnings about keeping windows shut, and that the lava might possibly run over the road that’s on the south coast of the peninsula, connecting it to the south coast of the country. But that’s alright, because there are two other roads out of the town where my family live, so there’s no danger of people getting cut off  

But honestly, this is exciting enough that my parents (now officially both in their 60’s) ran out into their car and drove off to try and see the eruption, like about half the damned town  

I’m just glad your parents are okay. If my parents did that it’d be

Just because that’s how luck treats my family.

Fire & Ice?

I was mildly sore for a day after the first shot, and quite a bit more tender for three days after the second shot, along with being really tired for two days. But I would do it again, honestly, because what I feel now is relief. 

I do have a bit of a needle phobia so I tend to tense up when I get jabs of any kind, so there’s a small chance that might have increased soreness for me. Although the nurse did tell me to relax the shoulder, not sure if it worked  

First jab, told the lady I needed a distraction… didn’t even notice it.   Second jab, I did notice it, but it was quick.

yep, like American Idol, only with countries competing with individual representatives. AI makes my ears bleed too...

LOL... true that

I just watched the Sweedish winner. She was pretty good!

Thank you! It was nicely uneventful, which I appreciate no ends!  

Hope you had a great one, BW!

I did indeed, thank you!  

Happy birthday! I hope the next half 70 are better than the first half!

Happy Birthday! You know, if you ignore the first fifteen years, which don't really count as you were a child, you're only twenty today

Thank you, Melrick, and that's the plan really.

And thank you Dafdes, and that's exactly what I do, most of the time

Yeah, it just seems to hit all the right places, doesn't it? :grins:

i dont think it is..a British accent is way hotter

Depends on from where... Manchurian is sexy... Cockney not as much...

ROFL.. so am I.... laws are meant to be broken anyway

And I started watching Death Note instead

I watched the 3 live action Death Note movies recently, subtitled. Quite enjoyed them.

Yeah, you don’t have this gem (which I found a moment ago)…. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/local-news/arvada-officer-mistakenly-shoots-another-officer

be safe @WillowDarkling! 

Thank you, Kagome, but no worries. The incident happened on the east coast and I’m on the west coast. And the person who got shot is out of ICU now, recovering in hospital.
He was going berserk with firearms outside a residence, shooting at other houses and at the cops when they arrived, and did not obey orders to put down his weapons. The police up here do not regularly carry firearms and only use handguns as an absolute last ditch measure. And they are trained to shoot to immobilise not to kill.

Happy birthday to you!  I hope it was a good one. 

Thank you! It was uneventful, which is always good!  

That’s always my definition of a good day, and uneventful one!

Are you sure that’s not how our Irish ancestors got revenge on our Viking ancestors? Like… “Oooh, you want me to be your slave girl? Hang on, let me make you some dinner….”    

LMAO! They need to be careful around those Irish girls, don’t they? ::cackles happily::

Hey, we’ve got an old story up here about an Irish princess who got kidnapped and married to one of our viking lords, and she pretended to be mute for going on 20 years, just to spite the fucker  Even went as far as teaching their son her own language and stories in secret, while the rest of the household thought she was mute. So, obviously those Irish girls can hold a grudge for a while  

*looks at damp box* …… 

@KoKoa_B Weather forecast has a freeze warning tomorrow night, so if Willow uses overnight delivery, it might still be frozen for you.

Great…. 

Congrats!

Thank you, guys  And yes, George, for once Google Translate is correct  

  That’s some incredible work you’ve done – a round of applause from the US!

Usually, I take myself off to bed, and just sleep and sleep until I don’t feel sick anymore. Even if I have to sleep the clock round. I make myself unconscious. But then, I do have a phobia of actually being sick… try it, though, if you can. It definitely works!

And everyone is entitled to be wobbly, weak and weepy when they’re poorly

I’m like Pip. I’d rather take to my bed and ask to be left well enough alone until I’m human again. Usually, after a good 24 hours or so in bed, I’m feeling better, or at least well enough to get back to it. (Now if we could explain that to my family, I’d be grateful.)

Oh, I do prefer to lie in bed too, and try to sleep as much as possible, when sick. But I can’t… I get restless, and then I start to ache because I’ve been lying down for too long. My body just hates me… It just does not like me to have nice things  

Happy birthday, Bronx!  I hope it was a happy one for you.  

Thank you! It didn’t snow again, I had Klingon Bloodwine and barbeque, and watched an action movie with my daft bugger. It was perfect!  

That sounds like an awesome birthday.

What's wrong Neko? Feel betters!

Vets treat dragons very carefully... and hide the ketchup!

Bad case of the flu, Apollo. And Bronxie, I'm sure that's Lesson 1 in Veterinary for dragons 101. Hide the ketchup, or any other condiment.

Yea! Happy Anniversary dearest!

Thanks, babe I'm still a little surprised it's been that long...

happy anniversary

You think anyone would notice if we switched our J-bois out for your daft bugger and my silly hubby?

You think at this point that I care? :lmao:

not really...

*clings to the neko and pets* I hope you cheer up soon.

does that include some gackt? lol

*snuggles the Neko Wenchling*

Define 'moody'.

Why should I define it? What I find moody you might find cheery... I just mean songs that sound like an expression of depression, sadness and frustration...

Fair enough.

It just kind of feels so typically me, you know. Lady Luck’s just kind of sitting back and going, “Oh, so you want to get healthy, huh? Let’s see what I can do about that…” 

What did I do to her, seriously?!

What a time for a romaine lettuce contamination problem to break out.

This is why it pays off to have a water cooler and a supply of water bottles at the ready. Wasn't it only the tap water that the warning was for? I never really drink tap water to begin with, so it's just having to make sure the water doesn't get in my eye, nose, ears, or mouth while showering for me, or rather paying extra care compared to usual.

congrats

Goooood luck!

Congratulations to a very smart Neko!!!!

Hang in there, Russell! Sending positive energy for him and all the family. x

Hoping everything works out well.

Thanks, guys, it's much appreciated.

You go, girl! =^-^= I'm just starting to come out of my shell, myself.

WOOT! Go Neko!!!!!!!

That's our Neko! We love ya!

There are healthier alternatives and outlets to satisfy your inner masochism. 

That said. Bronxwench said it best.

I have all the faith in ya. No matter what.

For you can turn tomorrow’s hope into a solid promise.

Oh man, that can be me too often.  Not always, but it’s bloody annoying when it happens, more so because I know I’m procrastinating at the time!

My dentist said it was okay to procrastinate, so I’m taking that as a prescription!  (Well, it was regarding whether I needed a crown sooner vs later….)

Thank you!  

Happy Belated Birthday!  Feast on the remains of a few spammers?

Thank you, Des!
