Consequently I’ll be spending most of this afternoon dicking around with my computer in order to work from home, because we couldn’t have got this organised two weeks ago *Rolls eyes*

  for myself..its mostly watching grandkids.  I play football sunday.. we'll see if  we play this sunday...

   My son's  work changed thier  days back to nomral...BUT.. My  Son's mother in law  got laid  off ( worked  at Penny's in our   'dying mall" )... My Daughter in law, wants the girls to stay out  there a few  days/nights... ( presumed to help me out)... She did  mention to my somee  about  paying her..( They don't , and i wouldn't take money  for that!)

anyway..its a damn big mess...

 Good luck Harry hope you get your computer all set up. This is all so strange, I just got to the Hospital in a helicopter it was amazing and everyone is so great. Heading for resting now there was no one around. Nancy and I are waiting now.

 We are on lock down at noon today only essential jobs and just shopping for food and essentials will be allowed Oh and medical like me.
Going to get poked and proded now.

good luck on the tests

Paws crossed for you, Lizzy.

Have a big lick!

Flops face first...

 Hi everyone all done with the tests, from what they could tell me I am doing great, but they will know a lot more after the results of all the tests, I feel so violated they probed every part of me that is for sure, plus since I had Ovarian cancer they spent some time in certain areas, wish they used warmer instruments..lol

 Okay waiting for our Helicopter ride back hope everyone is doing okay. So good news so far and I am very happy for that.

That's great news I'm glad everything looks great. Have a safe flight back.

Yay!!..thanks  for the update!

BTW in case you have not noticed we are only 50 posts away from 99K.

Yep, and roughly 2700 from catching up with the tale of two or whatever the leading game is.

 I don't think we'll ever  catch them... we may close   some distance when the   Jump off starts.. it's hard to keep up[ with a pair of people  who might have   a couple threads going , as they banter back and forth, then you had some more pairs?

 In the end?..  I like where we are.. we  are the #1  game  for our genre..bot  is posts  and storyline.

 our OOC posts  are a Mix  of   game  stuff... and interaction  OC, with very few 'fluff' stuff..not to mention  they 'release' posts when   we need to sound off  about something. At any one time, when have people grabbed  by real life, gods only know the post count  would be, if there was no RL  ambushes!

 over the eyars  , i have deleted  some posts.. a  short thread here or  there  that  wasn't used, and had  no 'historic  value"..so..none of our post count is  cheap... we have  good IC stuff.. and good OOC interaction.. that's  ( what i feel)   games  in here should be!

Hey, the social aspect of gaming has always been one of its biggest draws for me.  I'm in one game without an OOC thread of any sort, and I feel absolutely no connection, whatsoever, to anyone in the game besides the GM.  I'm enjoying the character, and I like the situation the GM has my character in...but if that game dried up and died tomorrow, I wouldn't feel much of a sense of loss to it.  There's so much history behind this game...this game got me through the weekend where I was recovering from a really brutal tooth extraction that had me living on yogurt and instant breakfasts for the better part of a week.  This game has helped nurse me through at least three different strains of influenza that each knocked me on my butt for a solid week and had me running at barely-half-speed for another as I recovered.  This is one of the first places I went to share that I'd been put on salary at the park, that I finally finished paying off my student loans, each bonus and payraise I got at the movie theater...

I don't know everyone here, by any stretch...and those I know, I don't know particularly well.  But I would miss this game immensely if anything took it out of my life, and that's only partially because I enjoy playing Roy.  I would lose so much more...

  That's it... for me for sure. We have had  people who came in  here who were just  'there'..and poof..they were gone?

  This   game..or  this 'place'  is a shelter of sorts from the RL Darkness.. heck..when i started this , i did so because i was tired  of investing in a game  and seeing  it crash and burn...with any sorta of  luck, we'll be here  for a long  time.

  I know i'm not the Only GM to ever use it..but i know that every single 'ex-player ' who  told  me they started  a game used the  basis  of our set up..with the OOC  to be used   for anything..NOT..IC related...

 the   games that  lasted the longest..have    the banter   that  you would have  sitting around the table playing face to face... the differance  in here?... we  don't have  to set up  a day to play,  the   table is  always open..and   you can 'play' as often as you are  able/want to!

Wags tail at Lizzy so hard it is a blur.

Do you know, I read a news story the other day about a dog who was delighted that its owner was working from home that it wagged almost continuously... then stopped. Eventually owner took it to the vet and found that it had sprained its tail through over-wagging!

I once had a dog who broke his tail. He was walking along a 3-foot high wall in my parents' garden and fell off. He went around looking a bit miserable and not wagging for a few days and there was a discernable 'knot' in the tail bones if you ran a hand down it. Vet later confirmed that he had broken it. Recovered, though.

 I love this game, but it is more than a game like you have said. It is a release an escape to join like minded people in a fun exciting way. Soon after I joined this game I got my cancer diagnosis, I will tell you all if I wasn't part of this game when that happened I am not sure how I would have handled things, it would have been a lot tougher for sure. I love how Lizzy has grown and messed up along her journey, and I am very happy where she is now and looking forward to her growing even more.

Thank you everyone I was fairly new to the game but you all brought me in and many of you helped me so much get through a very tough time. This is not a game where people just play, this is a story and we all live it.

Wow I have two Walmarts very close to me, the closest opened this morning at 8 and until noon is only serving over 65, cancer patients, low immune system people, and other people who are highly susceptible to this. Is was very empty and all the workers where covered and they where awesome, first time I have been out by myself since this has all started, it was good. I felt semi-normal, they had TP, sanitizer, milk and eggs. We are very stocked up now. We will get through this I just hope everyone is staying as safe as possible.
Luv you guys... muah

going  food shopping now, the kids  at  at the  Daughter-in-laws  Moms...

I'm goign to try to push stuff   a bit here, because  tomorrow, for  9Am to 2 PM  my time, we  are have a scheduled power outage as they  update  somethiong in the area? (  bad  timing to me)

 anyway.. i'll try to get active ,  If my tablet  works i can post there, I'll have to make usre its charhged , i don't use it much

anyway..post as you are able

picture  today was  Witeshire  England.. showed a little   dirt  road  with  fields on each  side  and   some hills in front.. sunshine from our 'back"  with darkening clouds   ahead...real  pretty

Harry, Will's in an exam bay in the back, Hawkeye would have met you at the entrance desk. The point was to not suddenly just trust passed out boy friend on you... Granted I could have probably expanded my first post a bit more to indicate that.

I can play it as is or you can edit let me know, your choice.

:P

with Harry's  posting  schedule, it  might be better  of, just to play from there..Blame it on the Desk Med Tech sending her in..she  would know Harry from being in there.

In reply to Hawkeye Price (msg # 963):

Ah fair enough I've done a quick edit so as to meet Hawkeye by the door instead.

Cool thanks. Response posted.

I was concerned because Hawkeye knows how Harry worries about Will and as such wouldn't have just thrust that upon her without chance to explain the situation and prepare Harry for what was going on

Wow love is definitely in the air on the Hermes.

Right. The love bug has bit hard... Everyone report to the medlab or your quarters to be quarantined with the person of your choice.... wait a second
