Re: Way Off-Topic: Question for RPGamers

As always this is one of my favorite threads to see pop-up. I love getting to see everyone's stories! Got a bit of different one. Three friends and I have started our Bauldr's Gate 3 playthrough together this weekend. If you aren't familiar with it Bauldr's Gate 3 is the latest in a series of CRPG v...

Re: Meanwhile, on planet earth...

We had our second hottest summer ever last year and we are well on pace to beat both of those records this year. Summers here were always warm but the sheer number of 100+ degree days has shot up tremendously over the last few years and the heat during certain periods has become very fatal. We've se...

Re: From: Interview with Schmo - The Outtakes

That pizza sounds pretty good although I admit to wondering about the coconut. A spicy pina colada pizza... might be good. High-quality, unsweetened, real coconut flakes/chips/shavings (I've seen them billed as all of those) are a pretty adaptive food. I think when I mention it people mostly run to...

Re: From: Interview with Schmo - The Outtakes

And then there are those of us in the weird camp of thinking pineapple on pizza is a fine topping, but not Hawaiian specifically... Canadian bacon/ham is the devil.

A local shop here does pineapple, roasted jalapenos, spicy sausage, and lightly topped with some coconut shavings... *chef's kiss*

Re: Musings of a Nurse (my work life)

How many non-healing wounds or amputations/further amputations, smoking-related illnesses, and just plain stinking, does it take to make you think, "I should probably stop smoking?" Apparently not enough. Venting today! I can't even imagine the frustration. Years ago I knew a lad that was in a car ...

Re: Greatest Movies of All Time

Amelie in my opinion still one of the best of all times. One of the biggest highlights of Paris for my wife was getting to sit in Cafe des Deux Moulins and act out her childhood dream of being Audrey Tautou. This is why I struggle with these lists, the longer I can think and talk through it the mor...

Re: Greatest Movies of All Time

Lots of good stuff already from folks. Like others above I always struggle with these kinds of rankings. Media means so many different things to me in so many different ways and as honor points out what was made impactful or moving to me and turned a movie from good to great may not translate to oth...

Re: Is your house in order?

Under “intimate items,” does that refer to buying them or donating them? Specifically removing anything from your home or digital presence of an intimate nature. I think many folks might be a bit mortified if their children or loved ones had to clean out sex toys or intimate photos. It is one thing...

I haven't watched this 30 minute plus video yet, but it's in reference to Jenny Apple's end of life to do list. Jenny is a youtuber who has cancer and has been given approx. 6 months to live. I've watch her and her husband Kyle from time to time. CU#35. Jenny Apple's to-do list ideas from Paul in P...

Re: Is your house in order?

Thanks for posting this stuff, Xeno. My wife and I have talked about how we’ll want our estate dealt with extensively and my hope is if either one of us pass we’d be able to go into autopilot mode and get what needs to be done, done. Writing everything down, identifying an executor, and writing it ...
