wantz cool libations!
you can cool off here
Cooled down a little here, not so hot as it was right now :)
**pushes the iceberg closer to Austrailia**
blueberry whip cream.
Hehe TY, cool breeze always welcome :)
*noms* Groan too much iced coffee yesterday, not so much caffeine as icecream makes for urky tummy today :)
I'll be having a good thought for you now and always :)
Hopes you partied hard and long :)
Hehe TY, cool breeze always welcome :)
Worked - only 31ish today (~88 degF), lovely cool breezes coming in from the ocean (~_~)...
Yes it cooled down here as well. Very dry though, next week might be bad cos everything is real dry. In the middle of all the fuss about the weather there was a toxic chemical cloud floating around my 'hood by the river :lol:
Post-Christmas flatulence? :^(
...had a coworker go through chemo and radiation treatments, Was really tough but he made it through and has completely recovered. Last time I saw him he looked exceptional. The one thing that helped him weather the tough times was his unique sense of humor.
...this is why I downloaded and saved my FF updates before installing (the last being ver. 15) so that I can re-install one that I know will work.
Thunderbird is fairly good but can get a bit sluggish at times (have it on the system at the workplace). However it is still much better than Outlook which would constantly freeze up on me without notice and require firing up Task Manger to kill the process.
Sticking with WIn7.
..,brrrr... c-c-c-c-cold here...neeedz 250 ml of cocoa suspension in milk solution heated to 85C, stat!
I am hoping once the dust settles and I have come to grips with what must be done, it will more than likely be just another day in the life of Roy, but at this point there is still too much of the unknown that I am having to cope with which can be overwhelming and disheartening. I appreciate all of the comments that you guys have given me. It really does help. Thank you so very much. In all honesty I have yet to cry or anything, so I think I am taking it as I should, although when my wife mentioned not being able to tell our grand kids about it because she is afraid they wouldn't take it very well, I almost broke down then. Luckily we were in a restaurant celebrating the not-so-great news otherwise I probably would have lost it.
Once again I really appreciate all of the concern everyone has shown me.
...been away for a bit (hence the flurry of posts while catching up on things).
Last of the meaningful bowl games are in the books and turned out well. Oregon romped on Kansas State in the Fiesta bowl and Texas A & M, led by Heisman Trophy (and freshman) quarterback Johnny Manziel, defeated Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.
Tomorrow it's Packers and the Viqueens in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The one good thing, it's at the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field in Green Bay. We'll see how the wussy dome team handles real football weather (temps in the 20s instead of a climate controlled 70°).
OK complaint time.
Learned today that apparently one of the major clients (the one for which I handle the fulfillment account billing for) will be severing ties with our company after thirty three years of business together. It has nothing to do with how we handled the account, but instead for economic and logistical reasons as most of their customers are in the eastern half of the country (4 - 5 UPS/FedEx shipping zones away) and they want their distribution hub to be more centralised. This of course was not very good news, especially after my living situation has been resolved (things worked out so I don't have to move - as long as I can remain employed that is).
As I cannot do a lot of heavy physical tasks due to my arthritis most likely I will be laid off. when this occurs in about a month an a half. The region here is still lagging behind the rest of the nation and the only jobs that are opening up are for those with highly specialised degrees in areas like software and network development.
SSI won't mature for another twelve years and have no retirement plan through the workplace. All my joking around about living in a "Cardboard Condo" may ironically come to pass.
...looks like I need those Megabucks numbers to come through for me now.
o.O !?... {{hugs}} for those that need them.
Fingers crossed for you KK that somebody "up the chain" recognises your worth, talents and history, and can find another role for you.
ETA: well this year is turning out rather grim... and we're barely a week in >_<.</p>

Nite nite nite :)
Once again playing Civilization IV. Sometimes with a friend, but usually solo. I remember two ex-members of this thread griping about something added in CivIV (I think it was a victory condition that changed, and the removal of the "Infinite City Sprawl" where cities did not cost any $$$ and thus you could cover even the North and South poles with useless cities without any negative impact), then literally fuming about CivV (And I was reading a gameplay overview by "Sulla" who beta-tested CivIV and stated how many HUGE steps it took past CivIII - especially in terms of AI Diplomacy no longer being utterly useless - but disliked a ton of stuff in CivV.), but I'm finding CivIV to be the best in the series (As a few other "I played since Day 1" people had stated).
I am somewhat intrigued by this expansion Civ2 had, that added dragons and I think dinosaurs to it, but reading about how utterly terrible the AI is in that I think I'll seek out a copy of it later XD
*ahem* Anyway... Also installed Fallout 3 on my laptop for the first time. My old laptop couldn't handle it at all, and my desktop could run it for hours with all the settings cranked up to maximum. My new laptop sits somewhere in the middle - it can run without issues even in combat with HDR and Medium-High settings, but it suffers from random "Total Lockups" that bring the rest of the computer down with it. Screen literally freezes, but music and ambient sounds persist normally. I can't Alt Tab or anything, since everything but the taskbar remains totally black. And Pulling up ProcessExplorer to nuke the crashed game doesn't do much good since the crashed game masks the program, so I can't see what process I'm about to kill (Which could do more harm than good).
It's fairly random and my first time experiencing it was while Saving (My save file DID succeed, however), second time was while entering a building (I lasted longer before it happened), and the third time was again when entering a ruined building (Lasted twice as long :P )
Isn't enough to keep me from playing it, but it's annoying. Add to this that my laptop has this annoying "media" thing which requires me to press this "special key:" before I can use any of the F1-12 buttons, and it makes quicksaving much more tedious >_<</p>
"If there is only one right choice, you're not looking at a strategy game. You are looking at a puzzle - to be solved once and then you're done with it!” ~Sirian, on CivIV

Can this disclaimer be applied to term we are used to here? :P
Haha wow just got through reading a playthrough by "Sulla" in CivV, and it really does seem like it's "Just Civ2/3 but with better graphics". All the AI and gameplay mechanics took two to four steps backwards while the graphics took a step forward XD
All the glaring and obvious flaws the AI had in II and III were back in V - many of which were fixed in IV.
Heh, CivIV can show up to 14+ leaders on the diplomacy screen but CivV can only show THREE o_O
While the guy had almost nothing but praise and overall good things to say about CivIV, he seems pretty mixed (With emphasis on negative feelings) about CivV =P
*EDIT* I also noticed I have three green boxes now... Took me long enough to see that =P
Do I get a cookie for this? :D
