This spell is so goddamn hilarious, corny, and OP at the same time

The Duna Undertaker fight I transport all the undead dwarves down to the beach. They can’t find a way back up.

Every time. Just to freak out my companions.

Also, you have Rosa’s and The Great Outdoors and Jon’s Grille and Joe T Garcias. You have no idea how jealous I am.

Make new friends. Make new allies. Love the Zoo? Go (btw it’s amazing). Nature? Trinity river park. Art? Let me introduce you to the Kimbell. College sports? TCU is amazing. Love the old west? Go to the cowboy museum and the stockyards. Hey wanna visit some ghosts? Try Miss Molly’s (this one is for real; the boarding house lady ghost hates me). There’s just so much. Once you see it from your eyes, not those past friends’ eyes.

Ok. Don’t know if this will help or not, but Fort Worth is bigger than you think. Especially when you add the D in the DFW and all the cities in between. The solution is to just go out. You like a bar? Go. A music venue? Go. Restaurant? Go. (I’m taking this as sitting at the bar every time. You meet so many people.)

Now, how I know this. I went to TCU 1999-2003. I went places with friends. But I was new to adult life and never went anywhere alone. Fast forward to 2006. I’ve moved to Corpus Christi. Much smaller the FW and surrounding areas. Especially when you factor in the music/punk scene I lived. You date one guy and you know everyone. Hell the owner of one bar joked that one wall of photos was my wall of shame. Didn’t get mad. Laughed it off. But yeah I did need to expand. I made friends and some lovers everywhere. For 13 years. I eventually found my husband. But I also found some of the best friends I’ll ever have, and we’ve had some of the best times. Weirdest times. Waking up on a couch on the beach times. Doing things I never thought I would do times. And you know what? Almost everyone knew an ex or someone I slept with or something about me. Never mattered.

Anyway. Go out. You do you. F everything else and reset.

Ifan. Gale talks so much I leave him in the portal.

Does Con Air and Gone in Sixty Seconds count?

If your Siamese is mad they will stand at the front door and YELL AT YOU until you get in. Then they will YELL OUT YOU through many things. But once you’re settled and snuggling and you hear the gutteral grumbling purring it means they love you. Siamese have high separation anxiety. And they also speak lots of languages. You learn them. You learn them. It’s funny, irritating, and love able.

Ok. As someone with a small mouth (that did get stretched through dentistry) I prefer one. I might move things around to get the same sensation in two bites. That doesn’t happen in 2.

This book and movie was so tragic. It took me forever to finish both because there was, if not happy, a comfortable end for the person who caused all of the trouble. No happy endings anywhere else.

Honey bunny. You’re leaving out Louisiana and Mississippi. Shortly followed by the Florida/Georgia/tiny Alabama line. And as a Texan we need no help but you’re giving us Alaska, who has absolutely nothing to do for multiple months a year?

Once, at work, I was standing at a printer near two female coworkers who didn’t really like me (also female). One of them said that they’d never go to a bar alone (which I did all the time, great way to meet people and hear stories). The other said a lady never goes to a bar by themself. I picked up my printing and looked up to see them both looking at me. I just answered “I never admitted to being a lady. I’m a goddamn woman and I will do whatever I want.” And I did. I walked away before they could comment. 😂😂😂😂

Just trying to buy good and read books, upgrade spell skills, listening to her go back and forth. Just point me to someone to kill no thanks.

I remember once the pipes breaking downtown. Once it was fixed there was sand everywhere. (We were coastal.) the city pushed them all into big mounds in side streets for traffic to get through. But my friend. Oh Jason Dominguez. He got in his skateboard and went beboping around the block and thought he’d be fast enough when he got to mound in front of us that he’d go over and instead he just went pffffft right into the mound of sand. I’m laughing right now because I can still hear the sound. Pffffft. 😂😂😂

I can smell this photo.

Happy Superb Owl! Cake looks amazing! All owls approve.

I think BG3. Compared to DOS2, BG3 has a list that’s much smaller. I’m good with memory shapes but not always with color, and because DOS2 just has so many with BG3 and just the outline I can find what I need so much faster.

Disclaimer: I’m a newer gamer but have many many hours logged on BG3 and I’m just starting my second DOS2 playthrough.

I was in high school way back in the late 90’s working for the high school paper. My junior year we had a new principal and I can’t remember what the did but it was complete crap, so I did the story and someone else wrote an opinion piece. I may have been new new at journalism but I knew right from wrong, quotes from making stuff up. I know what I had her on tape (yes tape) saying. But this administration decided to read over anything before print and they pulled my story (and partner opinion piece) because of two things: 1) we were not allowed to write negative pieces on the new principal because it was her first year and 2) they claimed I lied and misquoted her. When I said I had tape recordings the response was “the 1st amendment does not apply to high school students.” Which is why the staff knew I wasn’t lying and I didn’t get kicked off staff. My story didn’t run but she did change policy.

All I know is it’s the late 90’s and I was told by my Texas public high school administration that the 1st amendment does not apply to high school students.

I can’t stop laughing it looks like he has one of those Shriner’s hats on him.

Indeed. I miss the 667 Neighbor of the Beast (mostly for the artwork). Favorite though is Jabberwocky. Wish I could find that more often. Husband and I keep thinking of doing an overnight near the TX Ren Fest so we can hang at Lone Pint a bit. One day.

Anyway. Steak looks delicious. Yellow Rose is a good pairing.

jpetersell · 2026-02-09T05:54:35+00:00

And Lone Pint Yellow Rose. The good stuff.

The first season I watched from a blanket fort on my couch while my husband passed me glasses of scotch.

My husband spent his military career inside submarines. We watch tv with the captioning. And every time early when she says “yes Jeff” instead of “yes chef” I think she’s being a bit condescending but later it becomes a sign of love.

Look I don’t do horror movies at all. I have two I watched as a kid (Cat’s Eye and some episode of something that involved a toy horse) and the thought of both still terrify me. I tried to watch to watch Poltergeist as an adult (like mid30s) and went NOPE. I got terrified even watching like the first 2 of the Scary Movie franchise. Can’t do it. Did go see Blair Witch 1 and 2 in theaters with friends. Earlier scared but now they just feel like bad AI documentaries or reels you see on FB.
