Grittybeard posted:There are good pieces of books 4 and 5, if you liked the earlier stuff it's just...they aren't really put together correctly (partially since they were supposed to be one book, partially because Martin lost his fastball I'm guessing). And Dany's storyline is mainly super boring and stupid in 5 until something happens, then goes right back to being miserable to read. You aren't missing out on anything.

Intruder posted:I caught it once and was more miserable than I've been being sick I can ever remember. No idea how people can be delusional enough to call it just a cold/flu Well for lots of people it feels just like a cold or flu. Like, when I got it over Christmas it was just an aggressive case of the sniffles. The mistake is assuming that’s the experience everyone has in spite of ample evidence to the contrary

I’ve had Covid twice. The first time was pretty bad, coughing, fever, head congestion and stuff but not awful. Second time felt like a pretty mild cold.

Well hopefully you didn't decide to draw a comic strip absolving yourself of responsibility when you knowingly went to a Vegas gaming convention while infected with COVID!

Caught COVID more or less a year ago almost to the day. One day thinking I was dying, 2 days of feeling pretty miserable, 3 weeks to finally test negative. In fact my Facebook Memories feed brought this to my attention this morning: That illness marked a turning point in my health. Around Labor Day that year I was participating in a simulated Ranger Selection challenge & fell out in the 1st stage where we had to hike 3 miles with equipment in 45 minutes. Any other instance I could've completed it but I was completely destroyed. Now I'm struggling at work today feeling like garbage after only doing 20 minutes on the stairmaster at the gym this morning.

swickles posted:Words cannot describe the feeling of taking off socks and shoes for the first time in 36 hours.... wooooo yeah. I have a picture of me sitting in my cot perched atop a Humvee hood, because the FOB we stopped at on our way into Iraq (after around 36 hours up) had a parking lot right next to a scrapyard teeming with rats and I figured I'd have a 10% less chance of getting bit. Anyway, my feet in that picture are so pruned up and gnarly that they look like Rob Liefeld drew them. When I got back 14 months later, wife took me to a salon for a mani/pedi while on block leave. I warned the German lady beforehand that after a year of boots in the desert, they were not pretty. She giggled, obviously not believing me. Then she looked, visibly gagged, and came back with a grinder face shield and N95 mask underneath.

Before I moved to a place with weather, about 95% of the time I’d be wearing flip-flops (what they call them down there? Thongs?). Big ole V tan lines on my feet. I hate shoes

I hate shoes Yeah brah. Thongs or occasionally pluggers. I have two sets. One for taking the rubbish out or whatever if I need to duck outside for a sec and another in my car for when I go to the shops and drive around barefoot. As a side note: I took a mental health day today and gonna take one tomorrow, spent today completely cleaning out my bedroom, kitchen cupboard and fridge and doing like 5 loads of laundry, bagging clothes for good will, cleaning out my car, cleaning out my cooking stuff, cleaning my rifles and cleaned, lubed and sharpened all my tools and kitchen knives, then lay in the sun reading for an hour. Tomorrow I'm gonna sleep in, work out, go see oppenheimer and take myself to a sushi place. Have been so angry and feeling low lately that I've been a bit of an rear end in a top hat (more than usual) to everyone around me. It's been nice to let the outside world gently caress off and feather my nest a little bit while I re-set. Going to have a whack of THC oil and watch sports documentaries to finish off the day.

Plus tomorrow my retired neighbor is coming over to help me do some yard work, looking forward to it. Chainsaw some poo poo and use my truck that’s been sitting useless for a bit. Think it’ll help settle my head

I find just working at stuff allows the stress to melt away, the physical activity gives you that little endorphin boost and sun is always good. Plus havin some company to shoot the poo poo with while you do it can be helpful.

BlindSite posted:As a side note: hell yeah. Friday up here is a public holiday, so I took Thursday off because I didn't have any work/meetings planned and wanted to grab a day on my own. I've had some time off, but it's either been with the missus or weekends with the little one, and I just needed a day on my own fully. went into the big city, found some nerdy poo poo (the Nintendo store in Shibuya was utterly slammed), came back home to grab the car and run an errand after. Might have to go pick up the little one in a few, but it's nice to have four days off and one of them just on your own schedule for once in a long time.

There's a lot to be said foe the difference between working on things you have to do and working on what you want to do. I don't want to have to clean the house for this weekend (in-laws coming over, though I won't be here) but I did want to finish putting up some shelving in our shed this past week, and made time to do so because I enjoyed moving a bunch of stuff out of our basement and into the shed. Wasnt a priority but theres lots more room in the house now and its weirdly less stressful now that everything is better organized.

If he were picked up in D.C., the five-hour round trip would have cost at least $130,000 each time had Thomas chartered the jet himself, according to estimates from jet charter companies.

I’ve felt guilty the couple times I’ve put my shoes on near the door then gone “oh poo poo I left something on my desk” and just traipsed on in. Shoes go off at the entrance, and ideally stay near there. Living any other way is just barbaric. “Well what about winter” that’s what we got under-floor heating for in the living room
