I did! He just looked at me quizzically and continued chewing a sock. I took that as a no. He's 2, so it may just be his teenage years talking.

https://bravewords.com/news/former-iron-maiden-singer-paul-di-anno-dead-at-66 Well dang. I knew he was having health issues, but I never reckoned they were that bad. I was never the biggest Maiden fan, though I like them well enough, but there's no denying the influence they've had on the metal...

My btother-in-law and his wife have three kids, all girls, the eldest and youngest are in hockey, the middle one in cheerleading. It looks BRUTAL. My sister-in-law and her husband also have three kids, two girls and a boy in the middle. The two girls don't have any real activities yet, but the...

Starting is the hardest thing ever, but damned if it's not super rewarding when you see results. And those are some great ones, way to go!

My mom swears up and down that when I started crawling, I would only do it backwards. I only started going forward when I started to walk. I was a weird kid.

Actually, most people can go backwards as well as forwards! Crazy, I know! :p

Positive vibes, eh? On Saturday, we celebrated our dog's birthday. He turned 2 on 19 June, but this was the date that worked best. It was a hoot, we had like 30 people there, he got spoiled rotten with treats and toys and people, so many people he could see, he was the happiest puppy. Got to...

Tonight, in the latest chapter of "I'm trying to get in some semblance of shape", I went to BJJ, as I usually do at least three times a week. Tonight was competition training (I assume Wednesday will be as well), so after a couple of techniques (three types of arm bars from mount), we split the...

Yeah, that's valid, man. Like any surgery, there's risk involved, and it's not always possible to go back and correct the correction, y'know? My friend I mentioned above? His wife also got it done, but she had a WAY stronger prescription than we did. Like, we had a risk that it wouldn't work...

I had LASIK done back in 2006, which, tech-wise, is probably equivalent to having it done back in the stone age with a rock. I have yet to have any regrets over it. Best money I've ever spent. Now, as to your questions: 1) When I got it done, they basically had me lie down on a table, then...

Watched John Wick 4 last night. It's definitely the weakest of the bunch. Way too long and they might as well have given them superpowers with the ridiculousness of the suits and what they survive. But... The fight scenes are still awesome, there's an entire action sequence that's filmed top...

Went to see The Red and Yellow Attack as well. I had an absolute blast front to back.

For a moment there I thought this was gonna be your next comic. A pre-emptive hello and welcome to our new halforumites!

Well, today I went to my first no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu class in... 7-8 years, easy. Ran for 90 minutes, including 40 of rolling with, in my case, a brown belt around my size. Some takeaways: 1. Man, that brown belt is good. Tapped me left, right and centre, but gave real good advice too...

So it's unsatisfactory?

Stress is a motherfucker. It can cause so many things to go wrong in your body and your mind. I've seen its devastating effects first-hand. Now, smoking is by no means healthy and it's not a sustainable plan to lose weight or whatever. But I, for one, will not judge you for indulging in one...

Lucky left us end of 2020. He's still my background at work and I still say bye to him every time I shut the computer off at the end of the day. Last week-end, we went camping with some family members and friends and one of them had their dog with them, a 2-year-old shih tzuh/yorkshire mix who...

That, my dear fellow, took an incredible amount of courage and I am massively proud of and happy for you.

You mean HIS steak is getting cold while the others fill your bellies with deliciousness, right?

Both. Both would be even better. Also his eventual wedding.
