  1. Well, that was fun… Anyone else feel the earthquake that just rocked the Northeast area? :blink:

      I’m happy to stick with one earthquake!  And hopefully that’ll be the last one for you.

      It would need to be one hell of a big earthquake for me to feel it down here in Australia. lol  I hope nothing broke or anything bad happened with you. :hug:

      I experienced a pretty big earthquake in 1989 that killed 13 people.  That was scary and I hope I never experience another one again.

  5. I want to wish a happiest of birthdays, to our magnificent @BronxWench 

    May the day be wonderful and full of delight. And here’s to another full circle around the sun. :bday:  :cheers:

    All gifts in the form of shimmering gold and very sparsely clothed pretties that we may have in our possession, especially of the impish and the elvish variety, will be happily accepted. Gold will be kept, but pretties will be returned, unscathed and very exhausted. :thankyou:

  6. Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our very own @DemonGoddess 

    May it be a wonderful day, and an even better year!

    :bday: :wish: :wub: :hug:

    Yeah… so, the parental units and baby sis with her fam are all living in the town next to these, and the threat of an eruption is growing larger, so I’d greatly appreciate all and any vibes of the good and safety kind to be sent their way if you can spare them, and if you have any gods or goddesses that you are on friendly terms with I’d also appreciate any pokes you’d be willing to give them on my family’’s behalf. This shit is getting scary now that the threat of an eruption is so close to town. Thank you, all. 

  8. Unfortunately, the cat’s never going to be old enough for a beer.  He’s in end stage kidney failure, and I get to call up the vet later today 😢

      The house always feels empty once your beloved pet is no longer there.  I’m sure you gave him a really good life.  That’s always something worth remembering.

  9. And now I’ve had my colonoscopy without anesthetic.  The procedure itself wasn’t a problem at all; the hours of horrific diarrhoea before it, on the other hand, now that was nasty.

      Next thing for me will be to swallow those little capsule things with a camera in them, so they can take happy snaps all the way through my bowel.  I don’t know the procedure for them but I’m guessing I have more extreme diarrhoea in my future.  Yay!  I just hope to hell they don’t want the camera back afterwards.

      Yeah, it’s for the rather catchily named AFF IVPB4 (Default) theme, and the pussy appears up the top with the AFF Community Forums logo.  I don’t know if it’s anywhere else.

  13. I had a mini break alone last week.  I had dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant.  Everyone around me was eating fancy meals with glasses of wine and champagne that they were clinking together.  I had pizza, mousse for dessert and a mug of hot chocolate.  I’m a takeaway and fast food joint kind of guy.  These are not my people.

      JG Melon’s burger was genuinely the best burger I’ve ever had, and that key lime pie was sublime!  btw, we wouldn’t call anything like that a pie here, we’d call it a tart.  A pie is only something with a filling inside a pastry thing, like a meat pie.

      I’m not a fancy restaurant sort of person.  Firstly the prices are stupid.  Secondly, I feel out of place in them.  I don’t drink alcohol or coffee, but I do enjoy a good hot chocolate.  And I really don’t give a toss how fancy the food looks, only what it tastes like.  It’s all going to look the same the next day anyway.

  15. I had a gastroscopy done yesterday, without any sedation, since I needed to drive myself home afterwards and carry on looking after mum.  That was… unpleasant.

      It’s like like feeling as if you’re choking for half an hour, or however long it was, because you are choking.  They told me the worst part of it is when they’re trying to get it to go past the back of my throat.  The worst part of it was actually from the very start right through to the very end.

      My body refuses to store iron now – ferritin iron – and they’re trying to work out why, so they put that thing down and did some biopsies from different locations.  I know they found at least one polyp but I’ll get the results of it all some point later.  Just as an FYI, my haemoglobin levels are just fine, only my ferritin iron levels, which are single digit.  My throat is getting better, but my jaw aches and it hurts to open my mouth.  That’s due to me biting down on the thing they put in my mouth to keep my mouth open, biting down very hard for some while.

  20. Sitting at my desk last night and some movement on the floor to my right caught my attention.  It was a giant spider, lumbering across the floor.  It turned out to be an Australian tarantula, our biggest spider.  The other night it was a foot long lizard.  What the hell is it about my room?

    1. Melrick

      Melrick

      Both the lizard and millipede fought hard for their lives, but they didn’t reckon with someone as stubborn as me.  And millipedes that large do not go down easy, let me tell you!  If it could have given me the finger, it would have.

      Yep, the tarantula became friends with my shoe.  Screw putting it outside.

      The spider must have crawled within centimetres of my feet as well.  He won’t be doing any crawling anymore though.  Oh, I did find a huge millipede on my bed once.  While I was in it.  That was surprising.
