honestly my life has been better since i quit my job.
i'm poor though.
i'd rather be poor than work a dead end job.
The police and emergency service people fail to make a dent. The voice of the pleading spouse does not have the hoped-for effect. The woman remains on the ledge – though not, she threatens, for long.
I imagine that I am the one who must talk the woman down. I see it, and it happens like this.
I tell the woman about a man in Bogota. He was a wealthy man, an industrialist who was kidnapped and held for ransom. It was not a TV drama; his wife could not call the bank and, in twenty-four hours, have one million dollars. It took months. The man had a heart condition, and the kidnappers had to keep the man alive.
Listen to this, I tell the woman on the ledge. His captors made him quit smoking. They changed his diet and made him exercise every day. They held him that way for three months.
When the ransom was paid and the man was released, his doctor looked him over. He found the man to be in excellent health. I tell the woman what the doctor said then – that the kidnap was the best thing to happen to that man.
Maybe this is not a come-down-from-the-ledge story. But I tell it with the thought that the woman on the ledge will ask herself a question, the question that occurred to that man in Bogota. He wondered how we know that what happens to us isn’t good.

I figured, I'd pull this out due to the people playing World of Warships.
If it was anything like World of Warships, that destroyer would have lost it's engines, rudder, and be on fire as soon as one of the other ships looked at it funny.
I dunno, man, there was a destroyer in a match I played tonight that was a total phantom. He'd show up, then disappear around an island and 5 seconds later I have a bunch of torpedoes in my grill. I'd never seen a destroyer so effective.
But I got to the St. Louis and I'm having a blast (haw) with her 14 guns.
The key with the destroyers is to always know exactly what your torp range and spot range is, and to lurk right around there. Fire off some torps, dodge back out of range. If they send aircraft to find you pop smoke and turn off AA and lurk. If the cruisers get desperate and charge straight at you you hit your speed boost, zip right at them, and then greet them with torps to the face. Being low and slim and fast makes it damn hard to fire accurately at the destroyers as long as they're not being stupid and presenting their sides.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
It seems like every hero league game in HOTS hI played today has either has someone go AFK or just rage quitting. Why the hell can't this happen to the other team?

I just saw the se++ megagame. Sadly it seems like it could be about to collapse.
Interesting idea,but an insane amount of work to run

X-8 quest in Old World Blues gets so dumb. After doing everything required without opening the kennel, I did the X-13 mission and on the way got the keys to the kennel and went back to X-8 to see what was up. And I guess all it is that I have to do the same thing I did before, all over again, but this time with dogs? I've already been to this area, and looked at every corner, and read everything I could be reading. This is just a purely an ugly dog shooting mission, now. Tedious.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Right before you're expecting something good to happen, every little thing in your life that can go wrong does, in the most spectacular way possible, making your life as difficult as it realistically could be, so as to slow down your perceived passage of time, and make the good thing SEEM to take forever to arrive? I think this is like, a verifiable scientific fact. Physics and such.
Boo the person relieving me of my shift called out sick. Now I'm stuck at work for 16 hours, after doing 16 hours at work yesterday. I had errands to run today, but work decided I didn't need any days off this week! Now I won't be prepared for my vacation next week (the good thing in question).
One of my fav internet things is to go to a YouTube video because it was referenced elsewhere on the internet and the most recent comment is "______ brought me here" and I think "Yeah, me too!"
I like knowing that others had the same impulses as me.

Friend of a friend post popped up on Facebook.
"Sorry to my friends with iPhones, I just upgraded to a Samsung so I can't get messages from you anymore"
From the comments it seems like the person legitimately thought that communications were lockedbto specific phone brands. Not only that, but they then switched brands which would prevent them ever communicating again.

The USA lost to Nepal in a T20 match in Belfast by six wickets just a few days ago. This cricketing failure surely signals the end of their superpower status

So my parents are on their way to the airport now, for their first totally solo vacation since before I was born. Since before they were dating even, actually! That's roughly 20 years of one or both of them being at minimum within easy driving distance of at least one of us at all times. The other Spoollings and I sent them to a bnb for a couple nights last summer but that was 20min from our house and they had a car.
Man, parenthood is like.... crazy @-@ I am so impressed by them tbh
I am very excited for them to have some time actually alone!!
