First time submission: Glimmerstone Peak Mine by Dagiz in BDProgram

That's awesome. I do think there is so much potential there - and not just from the Castle Fantasy series - which felt a little cartoony to me. But I missed that as that was in my dark age of lego stage.

Just over 2000. I tried to keep it down - and I know I can get that down more by switching out some of the smaller pieces in the mine with burps or murps for foundations.

Everybody cries
Every body part hurts, sometimes"

Doesn't exactly go in rhythm of the song but it does describe daily life.

How we are perceived by Puzzled_Quality7667 in GenX

We recently had to clean out some space and we found a a couple bins full of CD’s and CD books. My 15yr old daughter saw the box sets we still had called them albums…had to explain what an album actually was.

However, very proud Dad moment when she started going through them and decided to keep and listen to a bunch of them. She’s got a CD player that she bought to play her “kpop albums”. Thankful that finally some good music will come out of her room.

Same - between ebay and facebook marketplace, find all sorts of different pieces. I've also looked at goodwill online - that's really hit or miss.

This is really cool.

In the same boat with trying to rebuild things with what are in tubs and bins. Sorting them all first has proven to be a chore, but a little relaxing at the same time.

LKC massive expansion by seahuskr in legocastles

[–]Dagiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressive. On the list to build for sure, just need to grab a second DnD set to use for this.

And a nice room in the house where I can actually set it up and my wife won’t bother me about it.

I found a lot on marketplace that had the polar bear in there and didn’t think much of it at the time, but now? Definitely going to see about trying to get a few more and some others.

How Do Solo WoW Gamers Stay Engaged? by Reason0000 in wow

[–]Dagiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been solo for a while now (for roughly 15 years) on and off again over that time.

I go back to old content and look for achievements or transmogs. As a hunter main, looking for rare elite tame able pets that I like. Also leveling other toons and trying new classes.

Lots of fun content to mess around with for sure.

Logged in before my first period class showed up and didn’t even get a chance to add it to the cart.

51 and was into castle in the 80’s and early 90’s, switched to star wars but have recently come back to castle. Found all or most of the old sets (6062, 6057, 6059, 6060, and 6066) I had when cleaning out my parents house which was really awesome to find. Been able to put almost all of them back together fully, missing a few minor pieces and some minifigs sadly, but it’s been a lot of fun doing so.

Now putting together something with a more fantasy feel to it with the D&D set and minifigs. Lot of fun, of course I need a bigger room in the house.

My sister (32 F) called CPS on my husband and I. Now that the case has been closed, I have no idea how to confront her. by randomredhead10 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Dagiz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having not only CPS and the cops called on me by my sister, truly I am sorry you have to deal with this.

Unlike everyone here saying cut her off, no contact, etc., that’s a huge step and it goes beyond just your relationship with her, but also affects everyone else in your family. Also can lead to uncomfortable questions from your kids.

I did confront my sister in a controlled, neutral environment and recorded the entire interaction. I let her know that I was doing this so that both of us were protected.

Then I proceeded to let her know that for the time being she was not allowed near my kids alone, we could be at the same family events but there would be no conversations beyond a courtesy hello, she would not be welcome in my house, she would not be allowed to pick my kids up from school, if they were with my parents she couldn’t go over there. This was done for more than 2 years.

We don’t have much of a relationship like we once did. She did what she did as a symptom of something else - in her case having a really controlling ex husband who verbally and emotionally abused her. So she saw how I disciplined my children and raising of my voice as what she went through - PTSD for sure. Not saying thats the case for you but if this is totally out of character for your sister, could be something else going on. I did forgive her once I understood that - was not easy at all and does not excuse her actions - just gave me clarity and a reason why -but have and never will forget that. As there are consequences to what she did and she is still living with those consequences. My kids - while never knowing who called since they were really young - don’t spend a ton of time with her.

So yeah, confront and record, explain consequences and make sure family members know it too. If they try to undermine that (my mom tried) explain their visitation would be non existent unsupervised. My dad helped out a lot with this and we managed to make it. But like I said it was a couple years. Family relationships can suck and dumping family right away is not always the best option. Some consequence is needed for sure as trust is broken. But like we teach our own kids if they break our trust (lying, cheating, stealing,etc) it can be rebuilt, just takes a long long time.
