In reply to Townsend (msg # 235):

The gas moving in to other places is bad to. I get gas bubbles all over my torso region as well as stomach. I press the spots and then burp. My allergy is not to wheat (thankfully) but I have several food allergies that tend to combine in strange ways to make my life difficult. (Can't eat Saccharine for example, which is found in most toothpaste, mouthwashes and chewable medicines).
So you have my utmost sympathy for your allergy, wish I could think of a way to help you around your baking difficulties. (I don't bake any more cause of the desire to nibble on my stuff to, and I am diabetic on top of it, which makes it harder due to the temptations involved - ie cakes, pies, cupcakes, etc.)

Re: Grr!

Ugh...


So I go to the gym and row a couple kilometers in a very manly display. I feel super pumped and I feel like I'm the manliest man that ever managed to be a man*

Afterwards my back is sore though but no mind, I'm a manly man and no pain will impair me.


The next day I life my pillow off my bed, twist my back the wrong way and throw it out. Over a pillow. My wife just mocks me for the rest of the day.

"Oh...couldn't life a pillow huh?"

-_-

I don't know what hurts more. My back or my pride :(

Re: Grr!

A moment ago I was walking to the restroom. As soon as I got to the door, someone called my name.

Eggy: Can you give me a minute?

Messenger: Sure.

One minute and a handwash later.


Eggy: Sorry about that. What's the message?

Messenger:
*reading note* Please report to the lab and provide a urine sample. *pause* Oh. Sorry.

Re: Grr!

My brother sucks monkey strudel.

I'm showing off the stuff I'm designing to build myself a shipping container home, and he decides to show me this log cabin website that he's using for inspiration on what he wants to build.

Now, suddenly, my huge house is too small and doesn't have a great room, which it obviously needs, along with a wine cellar and games room and... Well... Everything.

Stupid brother. :P

Re: Grr!

So this morning was our first hard freeze of winter. I started up the car, turned on the defrost, and left it running while I scraped the windows. Got in, and started creeping for the driveway. About the time I reached the driveway, the cold engine light is still on, but the bottom edge of the windshield has enough cleared that I can see out of it if I lean down and peer over the steering wheel. Good enough for the driveway. But I heard this odd noise then, and my best guess was the dash had just cracked. Grumble.

Wasn't until I reached the city, and the sky had lightened as dawn neared, that I could see the bright, shiny line of a brand new crack running across the bottom my windshield from the left frame almost all the way to the right. It was stopped only by hitting the vertical origin of the long crack that's been meandering its random way around my windshield for the past year or so.

I bought the car used ~3 years ago, and it had a badly sealed chip down about 2" above the frame on the window. The new crack goes right through that chip -- or more likely, it fractured in both directions outward from that chip.

I just replaced the windshield wipers all the way round, and replaced the battery, on Sunday. Guess I'm getting a new windshield next. Those two tires had better hold out till January....

Re: Grr!

Townsend, not sure where you are but in the US most auto insurance company''s cover wind shield repairs, as having a cracked windshield is hazardous. They should do this with no raise in your rates.

In reply to Andrew Wilson (msg # 248):

It might be time to try for some feed back.   Perhaps asking DMs who rejected you what they were looking for that you didn't have.
Though 5th edition is still fairly new, so perhaps there's just not enough demand yet.

Edition Wars? Really?

Speaking of D&D 5e, it still makes me irrationally angry when, in a thread where someone's asking to play a 5e game, someone feels it's necessary to make a post saying "Don't play that, it's bad, play my favorite edition instead," even going so far as to claim 5e's been getting bad reviews to lend credibility to their pushy suggestion.

Aside from wondering what color the sky is in The World Where 5e Got Bad Reviews, what is happening in your brain that you interpret "Please run Game X for me" as "Please tell me why Game X is bad and I should feel bad for wanting to play it"? Would it give you a dopamine rush if that player decided not to play it after all? Do you get a commission from the Society For The Promotion of Edition Wars for every person you convince? If I tell you that I hated your favorite edition, would that convince you to stop playing it? And even if it did, how would that benefit me?

What compels you to respond to people this way?

What do you get out of doing this?

...and why does something so ridiculous make me so irrationally angry?

People who don't purchase adjacent seats, but try to guilt/bully others out of their adjacent seats.

Ooh yeah that's one I can agree with. Sometimes you find it in movie theater's to. Group comes in and tries to force or guilt individuals in to moving so they can sit together.

So sorry, but I get to the movies early to get the good seats. If they can't be bothered to do the same, I see no reason to move. Life is full of little disappointments.

If I get to the theatre early to pick a seat, then I'm not sorry a bit.

The seat thing didn't happen to me today, but the person in front of me. The first couple wouldn't budge for the second couple. Since the second couple had to sit with an aisle between them, they were determined to be as bothersome as possible. They were nearly removed from the flight.

Re: Edition Wars? Really?

I mean, I don't know if where you live they sell tickets with assigned seats, but around here there's no such thing. And depending on the situation- well imagine that there's nowhere with enough room for four friends to sit together, simply due to the distribution of people. So, you have one empty seat to your left, and three to the right. The other people ask if you can move one seat over so that they can sit together. This seems to me to be a reasonable request.

Anyway, as to why I'm here to vent- Finals this year are a bitch. 71 pages of final papers to write, and still two written finals. Total bullocks. One of the written finals is for my logic class, and my performance on it is the difference between an A and a B. And I think logic may be the hardest class I've ever taken, so I'm sorta stressed, and have already pulled three all-nighters this week.

In reply to the seating thing. I tend to sit in a section that has a rail to my front so that I can stretch out my bad leg. The rail is the back of a space designed for wheel chairs in our local theaters.
Of the higher seats there are only 4 such in the theater and they go fast.

Re: Edition Wars? Really?

Well, that's obviously not the type of situation I'm describing- you're staying at that spot because of a disability. I'm not saying that there is no circumstance in which it would be reasonable to refuse the request, I'm saying that there are a sub-category of situations in which it would be just kind of generally dickish to refuse, and that it isn't really that big of a deal for people to ask someone to move down like one seat so that they can sit together.

Re: Edition Wars? Really?

If the theater is mostly empty, or there are other sections where there are four seats together for four people to sit, then those people can go sit in those seats. If we're talking about a mostly full theater where there are only sporadic seats, then I would consider moving over to let the group sit together. Their lack of planning still does not constitute a requirement for me to move though.

And I think logic may be the hardest class I've ever taken, so I'm sorta stressed, and have already pulled three all-nighters this week.

If your performance on the final is only the difference between an A and a B, why stress over it? Getting a B is perfectly acceptable under pretty much every standard. In fact, it's above the average. I know it seems like a big deal, but the odds of a B affecting you in any significant way are slim to nil. Unless you've been doing very poorly in all of your other classes and you need the A to keep your GPA at a certain required level for a scholarship, or something like that, the stress isn't worth it. But, again, I'm sort of doubting that.

Just relax a bit. It's okay not to get an A. It really, really is.

If there is some sort of important event that requires an A in that course, then I apologize, but in 99% of cases I've found that it does no real harm, while the stress is a killer.
