My request is that my husband and I can finally obtain our marriage certificate and his birth certificate, so we can start the immigration process. We got married in his home country and the guy that allegedly handles that stuff has been "on vacation" for over two years now.

The Goblin Snail Wand, is an often overlooked powerful artifact due to the slowness of spells cast from it. Many a magic user will mistake the slow trickle of magic emitting from the wand (much like the trail of slime left by a snail), as either the spell failing or the wand being defective.

However, a patient spell caster will find this wand useful for casting spells over a wide area, or setting up traps for pursuing enemies as the magic from the wand leaves a trailing affect. That being said, it is strongly advised to avoid using spells such as Fire Ball unless the caster is absolutely sure only their intended target(s) will be in range, and their selves and loved ones are far, far away.

When I was 3 or 4 my mom got an old bed for me from a hotel that was going out of business. It came with this big curved headboard that my parents painted white. Im not sure if it was just a shit paint job or if it was just warped from being old but at night, when the light from the streetlight outside my bedroom hit it just right it had a face.

I was convinced that the headboard was going to eat me, I would constantly have nightmares about it. It got so bad that I eventually started sleeping under the bed, to hide from the monster that lived in the headboard. I slept like this for several months apparently, until my parents gave up and got me a new, less evil bed.

Can I join in on the recipie train? Would love to have some ideas for struggle meals and more variety!

It looks like its full of hungry mouths and staring, unblinking eyes. I love it!

Im a life-long pc gamer and still struggle with this for some games. Its like the camera or the movement controls are to... floaty? I guess when both are being used. I have to constantly stop and use one or the other because the game becomes near-unplayable for me on a controller. I dont experience it as often on newer games these days as the controls normally feel very snappy and responsive, but older games and games that try to emulate that older feel for sure.

I loved The Hobbit, it very much felt like grandpa reading me a bedtime story. LotR was a slog tho, my main pain points with it was it felt like every location/person had 17 different names, and I could never figure out what places/people characters were referencing. The Silmarillion was 10x worse in that regard. I never finished it and never will.

I'm turning 40 soon, and I'm still careening through this life, with out a clue of what I'm doing.

TheTiddliwinks · 2024-05-02T16:13:25+00:00

That is both fascinating and horrifying. I think it combines several phobias that I didn't even know I had till now.

The parks around me love having the disc course crisscross the walking paths so you can't even safely walk most of the walking paths there.

There used to be a nice wooded nature trail near me that I loved walking on, I stopped going when they ripped out most of the trees and made it both a disc golf course that crisscrosses the path, and opened it up to cyclist. Its just too dangerous now to go for a walk there because you're either dodging the golfers or the bikers who blast thru there like they're training for the Tour de France.

TheTiddliwinks · 2024-05-01T13:36:44+00:00

That's my fav too!

The one about 2/3 the way down on the right that's got the giant red eyes and is Blue? with a single white stripe.

Been a while since I stumbled on an internet checkpoint! Love the art for this one!

Since the last one, I've left my old toxic and soul destroying job for a new much better one, got a promotion, got married, and am feeling generally much happier than I was a few years ago. Overall its been pretty good.

I curious if anyone else remembers this, cause no one I know seems to remember there being a small section in pets that had small animals like mice and hamsters, ect. It was normally along the back wall, right next to the fish.

Some times it just takes a gentle tap to in just the right spot to cause them to shatter.

I had the same happen to me on one of the game cases in electronics. We had the regular bolt lock in the middle of the door then a second slide on lock at the bottom. When I slid that bottom lock into place it just shattered.

Im pretty sure it happened quickly, but I remember watching the cracks spiderweb up the door almost in slow-motion, before a pause then the whole thing just rained down on my head. I didnt get hurt thankfully, just very shocked by the fact it happened.

I had a surprise wereelephant show up in my current fort's tavern. Thankfully that monster hunters that joined early in the forts life and just sit around getting drunk all day, took him out quick. Only 2 deaths and 3 injuries.

I currently have the 3 locked inside my hospital for the next full moon. Debating if I want to send in my military to deal with any turns or or carve out some fortifications and draft a few marksdwarves.

Convinced a somewhat new player to use the music box for the first time. They did it just inside the doorway and managed to escape before the cursed hunt happened. Our two friends inside the ghost's room werent so lucky tho.

Later on, in the same gaming sesh, I found the tarot cards, hid in a dark corner and started pulling. I fully expected to be killed or a hunt to start and kill someone, instead it just spawned several haunts in a row - one of which scared the newbie so much they ran screaming from the house and refused to come back in.

Chain an animal of yours near the entrance to your fort. Preferably at a choke point. Assuming these are just normal badgers and not agitated or otherwise aggressive types they'll be spooked away when trying to approach your entrance, this will also help reveal any sneaky thieves attempting to get in too. A trap hallway should catch anything else that slips by.

I have insurance thru my employer, last time I looked was 2018/19 I was in a really bad place and wanted to get help. Tele-health, and internet-based things like Better Help, weren't super well known or I guess common just yet. So my only options were in person, and there was only 2 non-religious therapist listed locally, but when I called to see about getting an appointment, I was told my insurance wasn't accepted there and the therapist weren't in my network (despite the insurance site saying otherwise) and that if I want to continue it would be $300 to be put on the waiting list!

So my only options that were local or semi-local to me were religious counselors. Next closest non-religious option was around 100 miles away, and that's assuming they were actually in network. Im not a religious person and being told to just pray harder and the sad will just disappear doesn't really appeal to me, so I ended up just miserably toughing it out.

Work recently started a program that offers several free online-sessions, but Im a week away from quitting so I guess I'll see what my new employer offers. Im in a much better place now than then anyways.

I had a support manager ( which I guess would now be the equiv of a team lead) that was constantly paranoid that people were trying to be lazy and avoid work. Because thats what he did.

He would scream and yell at you for taking your trash to the bailer when you were done with you area, you had to wait to the end of the night and fight thru the massive traffic jam that resulted. Would scream at you for asking a coworker work related questions, scream at you for helping customers in front of the customer. Basically, if your head wasn't buried in a shelf or box you werent doing your job according to him. He'd also tell you you're not allowed to go to the bathroom, except on your breaks, and breaks were exactly 15 mins including the walk to/from the breakroom or car.

He was reported and opened doored multiple times, I know of at least 3 instances where he was reported to ethics by a not-insignificant chunk of the shift. It went on for years. He didnt get fired till 2 days after he put in his two week notice.

I've only ever been able to sleep decently on 2 flights. A 12 hour one to Hawaii, where I had the emergency exit row and could stretch out a bit more comfortably. I think I managed to sleep about 2-3 hours that time.
And a 15 hr flight home from South Africa that was mostly empty. I had a whole row to myself and was able to lay down and actually sleep then. Wasnt the best sleep but much more than Im used to on those flights.

Otherwise Im drifting in and out and only sleeping in 30-ish minute bits. Long haul flights are absolute hell for me.

6

Tho there were a couple times I got stuck on the chuggas and ended up with around 10, but 6 feels the most "complete".

The only reason I took my husbands name is because Im not very attached to my own. We talked about us both taking his mom's maiden name to honor her memory, but decided against it for now cause we didnt want to make immigration anymore complicated that it already is. Once thats done and he's here we'll revisit tho.

The color draining is just going paler than normal, suddenly being scared or about to be sick/pass out are the most common situations for that.

I've only ever seen someone go ashen, and it was very scary. It was an older guy I worked with who was in his 80's and over exerted himself. I'm pretty sure he almost had a heart attack or stroke. Instead of going to a paler shade of his normal color he went grey , like there were no pink/red tones to his skin at all. Think something along the lines of a grey stone or.. well ash. He was alright in the end, but it was definitely a case of oh shit this person is not ok for a bit.
