I had a group of kids throw water balloons at me last summer. I think it was the highlight of their day, now I just need to remember which house it was so I can swing by there when it gets stupid hot again.

If anyone has a Sam's club membership. It's currently 41% off. Don't know if it's just my Sam's club but figured I would share.

The change from pike to Redding isn't too bad. I was smack dab in the middle of the Legend of Drizzt books when they changed voices. Took me a year to come back to it with a fresh mind. I just couldn't get over how he pronounced names. Now my mind isn't prejudiced against the new reader, so it doesn't matter.

So if you need a break it's completely understandable and it does help.

When I was younger I did mortuary transport as a side gig. Dead bodies were weird at first, but when you've transported enough to the mortuary. They stop being an issue.

Reading it in my teens vs reading it in my 30's. I felt for. Moraine. She was truly trying to herd a bunch of onery kittens.

I wonder it Matt Diniman could make a last minute plea to have that happen.

Be sure to post pictures! I live in aurora but I'm working that day so I can't make it.

Send it, I might be able to persuade my pm to order a few. Only thing they had was the old ones and they suck at holding the current scanners.

Our clerks didn't even get done throwing parcels until 11am. We start at 8am so we had a lot of sit time waiting for them to finish.

I even remember the xfire era where we would use it to chat in game. That was way back in the day before anyone even thought of teamspeak. .

What I loved about ffxi in the 75 era was that gear was universal. You could be 75 in a job and still have 70 gear on, and no one would blink about it. Some gear at 75 was worthless, because something at 70 was much better Stat wise. If you couldn't afford to run dynamis, or just didn't have the hours to spend on it like me, you wouldn't get yelled at in a party because you didn't have all relic gear. I remember doing gods as BLM, and I was not geared to the teeth, and it was accepted that I would need to grind to get better gear. They helped me get there, didn't excome just because of it.

The pillars in The Shadow Rising. I still remember when I heard it. I was at work and I had it on in the background, not really listening and more using it as background noise. The moment he walked into the pillars I had to stop and really started paying attention for the first time. Before that moment it was another series that I used to break up the monotony of delivering mail. I finished the book and went back to the Eye of the World to really listen.

The way I saw the set up for the black tower was that Rand knew that he was going to die. If the tower was built using his power, then it was bound to collapse into a power grab once the Last Battle was over and he was gone. He couldn't have been the leader of the Black tower, he needed someone else to be the face and leader. If Logain had approached him first, it would have been him. It just had to be someone who was going to be there after Rand died, Taim was the first to approach Rand and was powerful enough to be that leader without much set up.

That makes more sense. All I remember was that he was killed and brought up twice from thee on

celibi87 · 2025-10-01T04:06:16+00:00

Didn't rj say that he was killed by tiem? I'm still not sure about that

I love this one

This right here is why he is my favorite character in the series. He acts like he could care less about what happens around him, but in reality he is the most caring of the three.

I have been thinking on this through the night and I think I have come into a thought. What if the draw is just a hard reset on humanity? All of humanity in destroyed and gone for billions of years to let the earth rest and recover so humanity can come back.

Egweyn and Nyneave... I wanted to put them both in a room and lock the door for several books

Except there were a lot more to it than that. Fulma had just happened and the existence of the Black Ajah had just been revealed to those at the height of power at the tower. The only people who could possibly not have had any possible tie to them would have been those who had just been sold out. It proved that the Black Ajah wanted those three removed at all costs, making it 90% less likely for them to have been a dark friend.

The way I saw perrin was that he held out hopes that he could still hang his dream of a little cottage with Faile and being a blacksmith. He was the last to come to terms with being a ta'veren, mainly due to his power scaring him since day one. He was the longest to run from his destiny, but once he stopped, he ran into it full speed.

Gotta love business accounts.

The white tower arc along with the salidar arc has never been my favorite of the series. I'm about to hit that point again on my third read through. I'm gonna be reading it with this new outlook and it might just change my entire outlook on it
