So, bit of an update about my wife, after nearly three months. She has a follow-up appointment in Montreal on the 8th of November (she also has a preparatory MRI tomorrow at 8:30 in the evening, which is stressing her out just on principle). The fact that I'm posting this in THIS thread rather...

Haven't played it myself, but a good friend of mine swears by it.

Attend on your phone/laptop/tablet and take it with you everywhere you go. EVERYWHERE. With an unmuted mic.

That's a RIGHT triangle, you idiot!

EMPHATICALLY.

Blind Guardian's latest, The God Machine, is the best thing they've done since their legendary 1990s run. I'd even put it on par with those albums. Album of the year unless someone pulls a MASSIVE rabbit out of their hat. Holy shit.

Had that happen to me once, the first time I composted (it's mandatory in my city, which means they provide us with a bin and they pick it up weekly) I as in a similar situation to you at the time and figured I'd wait until the bin was full before going to empty it in the big ones downtairs...

Well, the family just expanded. Everybody, meet Baloney, our new, two-months-old Shi Tzuh. :):):)

Wow, so I just realized I just dropped the bombshell about my wife having stage 4 breast cancer at the beginning of July and then gave ZERO follow-up. I feel SUPER bad about that, sorry. Especially since the follow-up has been... Well, actually really positive. Here it is in abridged...

Congrats and all tbe best in the new job, Zappit! That's wonderful! From having seen my wife fight her former employers over harrassment and a hostile workplace (for the record, she won the whole thing), that's the kind of shit that DRAINS you. Be prepared for a long, hard, dirty fight...

I realize now that while I answered the poll, I never elaborated: I tried it once, in 2005 or so. It did NOTHING to me, so I figured there was no point and never did it again. That was the same evening I tried a cigarette for the first and last time. Unlike weed, which was I was just wholly...

Hope yours is as mild as mine was. I had a fever for two hours and a slight cold.

My bachelor's in translation started at 120 people (110 women, 10 men) and finished, 3 years later, at 60 (50 women and the same 10 men).

Thank you all. What no one can wrap their heads around (us, nurses, doctors) is that she's exhibiting ZERO symptoms that we usually associate with cancer. No nausea, no wasting away, no pale skin, she's fine outside of her back pain, and that's petty much gone now! Makes no sense.

So… Bit over a week ago, my wife went to the hospital for a possible hernisted disc. Turns out that was breast cancer that spread to her spine. The pain was the tumour pushing against it. In the hospital now, she’s got a biopsy scheduled for Monday (could be earlier if we’re super lucky) to...

I haven't even heard about the ransomware thing. Ukraine, the NATO summit and the US (January 6th commission and the Roe v. Wade monstrosity) have dominated the international news cycle up here to the near-exclusion of everything else.

That's very solid advice I may or may not have used before. :whistling:

Just had a quick google about what's going on, I swear nothing of this has reached up here, that's insane! I'm glad you and yours are safe at least, but Christ, man, be careful.

Wait, what the fuck, I just saw this, @Cog, what's going on, mate, are you okay? Are you safe?
