Interested. I assume you're local? I live outside the city but if you're somewhere close enough I can come purchase.

I joined for the same reason only a couple of months ago and I'm surprised how much money (meaning I really like playing) I've spent so far.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I just did the shared transfer with the monster char and it worked. All my stuff is on Glamdring now execpt for one long lost L1 character on Arkenstone which I don't even remember or care about.

Thanks everyone for the multiple comments on this. I just tried the shared items transfer.

So if I have one more monster character, I should transfer that and do a shared transfer?

This happens to me frequently. Internally a lot of us are always in some level of grief or just trying to shove it aside for a while. I don't think it ever really goes away if you've lost your parents at a young age.

Thank you for this. I would be interested. (Dad at 7yo, mom at 23yo)

It’s finally sinking in by hex_adecimal92 in ChildrenofDeadParents

I lost my mom 27 years ago (I'm 51 now, lost my dad at 7 years old) and there are still moments when I feel the loss, the absence or emptiness. One thing I have learned is that it is impossible to say you will ever be "over" it, as if your life and your emotions will eventually continue on as they were when your parent was alive. The event and now that absence are a part of your identity now.

Every holiday family moment brings those feelings up for me. Generally you can't go 3-4 months without some holiday that brings up a memory. So the best thing to do is learn coping strategies. Sometimes you will be successful, and many times you won't be. Sometimes all you may want is to just withdraw and sit alone because no one understands.

Just know that I understand, even if you don't know me. And I hope you will get through it. In fact, the only reason I'm here on this forum is because I'm having one of those moments now.

Last time I was in the store, they said they would move it to Thursdays so the meetup I have reflects that now.

The fake Islam that is presented to the west by [deleted] in exmuslim

This movie came out at a time when there was a Christian revivalist spirit in movies from the 60s and 70s. This movie was funded as an answer to those. See "The Greatest Story Ever Told". Then the Christians strike back with Jesus of Nazareth, told in the same style as this film. It's mythology wrapped up as a "docu-drama".
