(Also, I haven't FB'd anyone on Halforums, probably to save you all from having to see my kid a lot. And though I don't post a lot, a good number of the things I do I end up sharing in here, too.)

I looked you up on Facebook but you have your profile set to not accept invites anyways. My FB is also basically just pictures of my kids too. ;)

I ran into the same problem when one of my friends from my gym tried to FB friend me, since I have it set to only Friends or Friend of Friends. I tell people if you let me know, I can send the request from my end and add you. :)

Ask your doctor about Vajaysooth, the number one recommended treatment for Buzzy Pomona.

Side effects may include night sweats, arrhythmia, tremors, high blood pressure, nosebleeds, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, shortness of breath, hallucinations, fainting, seizures, fever, sore throat, swelling of the face or tongue, burning eyes, purple spreading skin rash, blistering, drowsiness, insomnia, dry mouth, decreased sex drive, and complete autonomic failure. May cause idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis in women over 20. Consult a doctor before using if you have ever been, or ever plan to be, pregnant, as Vajaysooth has intermittently been known to cause birth defects, even retroactively. Do not taunt Vajaysooth. Use only as directed.

I don't know the complete map from HF to FB. Except Bubble181 because he breaks into his crazy Swedish chef talking sometimes.

I started to post this earlier but didn't because I didn't want to seem like I was fishing for "hugs" or anything.

I was in such a great mood yesterday morning (Friday, since it's already Saturday) and Facebook thought it would be a great idea to remind me that it was the 5th anniversary of my father's death. So of course I had to go back and re-read the "bloggy post about my father". Probably not the best thing I've ever done. So tonight I met with my new nephew and we went to the Funny Bone to see Tammy Pescatelli and laughed our asses off. Laughter is all I have because I don't drink or do drugs. :rofl:

Ok, I tried doing some brief Google investigations about this guy, but all I'm coming up with is that he lied about his age (a lot), he likes to brag about his money, and that he performed for Lord Dampnut's All American Ball. Am I missing something?

ER-HRM.

All to former colleagues, not just bragging about his wealth but also success in a MASSIVELY petty way.

You'll also notice the specific numbers of how much he makes, a more HUMBLE jack-ass would just say like "an ass-load of money". Not this guy, he's FULL ON super Jack ass.

Okay so Kara's true Kryptonian name is "Kara Zor-El", so you'd think her parent's last name was Zor-El as well right? NOPE-her dad's name is JUST Zor-el, and her mom's name is Allura In-Ze...HOW THE FUCK DO KRYPTONIAN NAMES WORK?! Why not something like "Kara-El", was the Zor needed? I get not making it "Kar-El", that's just too hilarious.

Zor-El is Zor of the house El, El being the first ruling family and also the name of the star. Female kryptonians always have a given name followed by their father's full name, hence Kara Zor-El.

I allowed my cousin to come over with his loud friends out of promise of black and tans, now I pay the price.

Okay I'm better, GOD what a night of drinking and incessantly loud people-ONE OF WHOM-fell over and got a black eye. My utter anxiety of the night kept me sober enough I believe.

Going to look into getting my own archery equipment today with a fitting, and my daughter was already asking if she could play with my bow. At which point I had to (repeatedly) tell her that a bow is, in fact, a deadly weapon and not a toy. So I guess if/when I do get stuff I'm going to have to actually hide it in the house until I can get that point across to her. She would know better than to play with a gun, but not a bow and arrow, which is a pretty sad lapse in judgement, but also probably a sign of which one is constantly brought up in media as being dangerous.

It sounds like you should consider locking it all up as well as hiding it.

Well, admittedly, if she's not old enough to comprehend it, then she won't be able to draw the string far enough to be deadly, though she could rip a good chunk of skin off her forearm - which would probably be sufficient education to prevent future mishaps...

Yeah, but Dei doesn't have 20 replacement children so she might be more inclined to be careful with the ones shes got.

Bike chain and an extra padlock? Coil it around the string like the snake on a caduceus staff, then put the padlocks around the ends of the limbs? Or through the holes in the cams, if it is a compound bow.[DOUBLEPOST=1486427743,1486427533][/DOUBLEPOST]

Pssht, kids heal. Dry firing a bow, however, will accelerate delamination.

Yeah I don't want her dry firing it. I probably won't be leaving it strung when I'm not using it anyways. She's certainly old enough to be reasoned with, I think she's just annoyed that I won't do archery with her because I told her she's already doing too many things (gymnastics, dance, girl scouts, voice lessons, choir, etc)

My dad has a large collection of antique rifles, swords and bayonets. I never knew where they were as a kid. The guns are way too old to fire but I'm a super-clutz and could have very easily skewered myself.

Yeah really. When I was her age, all I did was play Nintendo. And I liked it, goddamn it.

(Well, that's not strictly true, I was in little league... and I guess I did get piano lessons... and scouts... and yeah, I was in the choir at church... shit. SO MUCH FOR THAT JOKE)


In other news, errbody tellin me how Millenials are all tech savvy and whatnot, but this 20something dingleberry today was all "can you download this to a CD for me?"

Download. To a CD.




Yeah, sure, ok, GRANDPA.

Leaving it unstrung sounds like a good strategy. But, honestly, I think the best way to teach her to respect the bow would be for her to actually try out archery. Even if it's just a few lessons to grasp the basics, she'll at least have hands-on experience with what a bow and arrow can do.

I'll admit I'm a bit biased though because I love archery.
