My wife thinking it's acceptable to fly her father out to Hawaii while we're separated and in the middle of divorce and expecting me to spend time with both of them acting as if there isn't a thing in the world wrong. And then justifying it all by saying "I didn't think when we started the divorce and started living separately it was going to be a permanent thing."

What. The. Fuck.

I still heart Goodkind.

You have a wife?

My last grandparent died this week. It was very much her time, but it is still sad and means mum is making the trip to the UK again, which is vary hard for her, on top of her mum passing.

Yeah mate that's harsh. Can't say I know the feeling so much, as I never knew mine, but I understand how it feels to lose someone close. Be happy for the times you had with them.

Yeah, its hard, but you have to think about all the good stuff. Just had my 10 year old cat put down, and I'm tryin to concentrate on the years of good stuff, and not his last couple of months. It was a really tough decision, but since it was the only choice left, I did a Ned Stark and took him myself.

Groove also messed by children. That don't go to sleep, ever.

And crying. Ohh, the crying.

My head hurts.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

Sorry CT.
I lost my las grandparent a little over a year ago. I still miss her terribly. She sure was special.

Every year, on her birthday I watch Family Matters (The show with Urkel) because she loved it. It helps alot to try to care about something that I never cared about before no matter how shallow it seems just to get an idea of who she was.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Say something along the lines of "We were married. You are a huge part of my past and memories. Unfortunately, we don't work together in the right way to stay married to each other. I still have an enormous place in my heart and mind for you and your family. But I need to start figuring out who I am and how best to establish my own identity again. Seeing your father wojld be nice, but it would confuse me, prolong the separation process and probably make us all sad again. Thanks, but no thanks."

And the best part about all of that is even if you've said something before, you can say that you've thought it over some more and think you should be more clear for her benefit.

Good luck with that, btw. Briar King can probably give you some more concrete help with the whole process.

The game that I pirated yesterday, Sword of the Stars II, was released ~2 years ago.

It was released in an extremely ill-advised not-even-close-to-finished state. And as a result, despite the labors the developer put into actually making it playable (it got the all clear a matter of months ago), nobody knows it exists, there's no good documentation for the game, and there are 3 wikis, none of which are worth the time it takes to load them.

I'm just playing trial and error.

Apparently one thing you shouldn't do is piss off Von Neumann probes, because I curbstomped one, and then it apparently phoned home.

Then a berserk mothership shows up and single-handedly blows my entire military into atoms. And kills billions. Game over.

OK so valentine's day and weekend after it was brilliant, went to stay with gf for a few days, and despite some medical problems (severe stress from 7 months of unemployment -> nervous pains, wekness, low body temp, lack of appetite etc) things were going great and we have "made great steps forward", to more or less quote.
Few days later I hear that things aren't going peachy and... wait, WHAT? No event to trigger that, nothing at all, so wth is going on? Gah. I'll just smile, nod and keep doing my thing.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Losing a loved one is really really tough, no matter how "expected" the death was...I'm sending you a hug!

I honestly don't think she understands the gravity of it all. That or she just isn't taking me seriously. Long long long convoluted story.
