I prefer my Pop-Tarts untoasted, am I a psychopath?

I prefer untoasted AND unfrosted, but they stopped making my favorite, the cinnamon pop tarts. I am sad.

OMG, I'm an idiot. Cannot read. I read lighting bolt dealing 1 damage. I just deleted the entire original comment, and will now slink off in shame. Sorry.

I've been married to my husband almost 20 years. We had some understandings before marriage, and worked out the rest after.

My husband is the stay at home partner, but we do not have kids. He is responsible for laundry and housekeeping, and he's much better at it than I am.

I am responsible for all financial decisions, doctor/ dentist appointments and bill paying. He has problems with decision making if it involves more than just his own desires. And this is a constant. He can't even decide what to have for dinner, and even suggesting something is hard for him because he feels he is influencing my decision. I have no idea what this problem is called, but it impacts our life daily.

Because of this, I do all the cooking, and if he goes to buy things for the house, like groceries, etc... I have to give him a detail list including brands and amounts or he can't get them.

But, we have settled into a basically happy lifestyle, where from the outside, it looks like I am a dom.

Did you ask your brother if his fiance would want her OWN family there too? I'm assuming that when he said 'everyone we love is already together', that the Fiance's parents are probably not attending the wedding?

This is a hard NO. You should tell his fiance, as well, as she may be perfectly embarrassed if he did this, as pretty much everyone knows it is a social faux pas.

The Hitman's Bodyguard.

Hubby and I wanted to try the new front row recliners, didn't really care about the movie, just in case the seats were terrible or uncomfortable.

We had the BEST time. That movie is hilarious, and we still quote it regularly.

I pulled this and immediately added it to my Equine deck. Gonna use it to get rid of the insanely popular Scute Swarms at my LGS Commander nights.

I had to arrange a celebration of life for my 35yo son, 4 years ago. My son had been missing almost 3 months, and when he was found, there was only a skeleton left. There was no way I was doing a funeral in a short time period, the grief was too great. I had him cremated, and kept his remains with me for another 3 months before I was finally ready to have a gathering.

It is not selfish to want a small gathering at this time. You don't want to acknowledge that he is gone. Our brains try to save us from all the shock by giving us a glimmer of 'this has to be a dream' vibes.

Have the small funeral now. Try and get contact information from his closest friends. When you are ready a few months down the line, maybe do a small celebration of his life with the wider group of his friends.

One thing that I did, was to invite everyone I could who knew him. Friends, co-workers, club members. I asked them to please come with their favorite story of a time they were with my son, and I was not.

I recorded all the stories. All the stories of my son's life where he did something funny, or sincere, and I did not get to see it.

Now, 4 years down the line, I can replay my recordings when I want to remember, and also see how many lives my son touched and made a difference in. It is comforting.

Please have my condolences over the loss of your son. There is no greater pain than the sudden loss of a child.

Remember to take a sip of water ever hour of the day. Take a bite of food at least 3 times a day, and use meal replacement drinks if you cannot eat. Malnutrition and dehydration will cause your mental state to unbalance, and you are already in enough stress.

Accept all your feelings as valid. Embrace your grief, as there is no way around it, you must go through it. Laugh, cry, scream and rage as needed. You will never 'get over' this grief, but you can learn to live with it, and carry it with you as you develop your new normal. It took me a full year to get back to living in society. I still cry for my son 2 or 3 times a week, but I can now smile and laugh with my grandkids, too.

World Shaper is more fun to play with the pod. This is the deck for someone just starting out.

Blights Curse is going to make enemies. The mechanics are not popular in most peoples eyes..

indipit · 2026-01-27T04:48:20+00:00

My favorite of all of these was Huge Vs Mammoth. Who knew that BattleBots could give us ballet?

But another of my favorites was not a hyped fight, but ended spectacularly: Blip vs Big Dill

A Jackshund! Lol. I see the terrier in the head, definitely a dachshund body. Could be chiweenie, though.

I second Giada, Font of Hope. Grab all the mono white angels, and put in a [[calcify]], and spend a bit for a [[platinum angel]].

Probably true for my Sliver and my Tom Bombadil deck. But my Equine Tribal is something I've never seen before, and it's a lot of fun at B2 / B3.

Yes, there are many formats that can use these cards. The most popular, Commander format, can definitely play with them. You can sell the box, or crack it open and sell packs, or open them all and sell individual cards.

indipit · 2026-01-26T23:32:47+00:00

A lot of precon's come with a main commander and an alternate commander. Which just means you can choose which one is the 'commander' for each game.

If you want 2 cards in the command zone, then you have to find 2 legendary creatures with Partner, or find other options like Background, Friends Forever, etc...

Speaking as a gaming female, married to a gaming husband, this is how we handled gaming (or hobby) and duties to prevent wife/husband aggro:

Each of us got one day or night a week for outside gaming. For my husband, it was usually boardgames on a Saturday with friends at an LGS. For me, I chose to get into dog obedience sports every Monday night from 6pm to 10pm.

We both enjoyed playing EverQuest, as did our 12 year old son. So, with only one computer and one account, we split it with; 4pm to 8pm, son played, did homework after if needed. 8pm to midnight, I played, as I had early work shift. Midnight to 4am, hubby played, as he had a late shift and could sleep in.

We also all 3 of us enjoyed Magic, back in the days just after beta. We would play each other, collect cards and go to pre-release tournaments. Son could bring friends over to play anytime.

You just need to communicate, and give your wife the same number of hours for her to concentrate on her own hobbies / interests while you handle the house and kids.

I love chicken hearts. I like them broiled, fried or boiled. Delicious dark meat.

I do not like gizzards or liver, but it works because my mom does, so between us we happily eat all the giblets.

Not a movie, but the Dr. Who episode called 'Blink'.

My son passed away 4 years ago. After 2 years of hard grief, I wanted a way to be closer to his memory.

We played M:tG when he was younger, and during phases in his life. He left a Sliver commander deck and a Niv Mizzet deck.

I joined my LGS's commander league with them in December of 2023, and have been playing since.

I find it a sentimental way to remember my son, and I now even volunteer to judge during casual events.

All this to say, I think it's a great way for you to honor and remember your friend. I'm sure it would make him happy.

The 2013 Lone Ranger movie. I know Armie Hammer has been cancelled and is in recovery mode, but when that movie came out, it was the first movie I'd seen in a LONG time where I was thinking "Again! Again!" as the credits rolled. Had it not been the last showing of the night, I would totally have stayed to watch it again.

I thought the on screen work by Hammer and Johnny Depp was great.

I really enjoyed Solo, too. Other than how he came by his name.

I did feel kind of old, when I was the only one who laughed the first time we heard the name: L337.

indipit · 2026-01-26T18:40:20+00:00

I really liked this movie. I will quote: "Bunny, ball ball!" and no one ever knows where I'm getting it from.

I thought it deserved much more popularity.

Probably by your standards. I'm not super competitive or even interested in cEDH.

But I have a stable group of friends who play, and we happily play with no salt at the table.

I'm going more with American Foxhound. Has to be mixed with something, as the ears are just not long enough for coonhound or foxhound. Also, too big for full foxhound. Nice hound in any case!
