*CLICKS THE DAMN LIGHTS ON IN THE RANDOM THREAD!!!*

I was so trying to remember how we worded the rez thing lol

What ever happened to Diarmy?

I’ll never forget you G Us old timers got to stick together.

Sorry for all the medical problems. Sounds quite painful and frustrating

All the time @Long Con. We probably will stay in London a few more years then move over to the states. Keys dreams of the west coast, but I’d like to go home to NY for a bit. I want my kids to know their cousins!

I like it because ours is a couple weeks after yours, so for those few weeks the time difference between me and my family and friends is only 4 hours instead of the usual 5.

After learning of the passing of an old friend from irc, I have spent a lot of the morning reminiscing about the good times I had with you all playing mafia, discussing Lost, and just the general chatting/friendship. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I miss you guys. Just thought I’d stop by to say I hope you are all keeping well and safe in this scary time.

I still remember a particular game where you were Mafia and I was Civ, and we went at it in the thread fiercely! Good times. Come and play sometime, hey, during these Quarantine days, what better time to come and sign up for Epi's Coronavirus Mafia?

Was the IRC friend known to Lostpedia/Mafia?

Oh I remember that game, although I can remember the theme. I used to like to try and create more of a challenge by going after whoever I thought was the best player that game. It wasn’t the best strategy to win, but it made the game more interesting to me.

And yes She went by the name leggyorlyb.

If not that, there may be a Lost-themed game coming from Golden quite soon.

Oh awesome. I’m in the middle of a rewatch right now. Surprisingly, I don’t think I actually ever played a Lost game!

Thanks guys. I’ll check it out. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the theme and was hoping for one I was

This is the first time in my 32 years that I have heard someone describe Rochester as a “cool town.”

I do agree the Strong Museum is fantastic through. Looking forward to taking my daughter there when I visit next.

I’m bored, so hi everyone. I was looking for a schedule for smaller games but couldn’t find one. Admittedly I only looked a few minutes. Anyone want to tell me what’s next. Thanks

Thanks! I don’t know what a discord channel is, but perhaps I will stop by sometime if I get a chance.

Hey everyone! Long time no talking to. My husband is playing a video game and I am bored. I thought I’d stop by since it has been a while and check in with those I don’t keep in touch with via social media. (Hi juliets! and others it will take too long to list) Life has been crazy. I was working a ton, but had to quit that as it was getting to be too much. Now it’s a different sort of crazy as we prepare for our first child. Hope everyone is doing well. Happy holidays!

Bat Bear is super cute~

I'll create a fitness thread in the morning.

Elo - I used to crochet as a child/teen, but haven't in years. I'm hoping to revisit that this year as well. It's a shame you can't really win your wrists
I may need to pick your brain if I get stuck in my quest to learn how to cross stitch. I think I'm doing pretty good though. I just started and here is where I am:

Does anyone know how to cross stitch? I'm teaching myself atm

I'm the same way. I'm older, but more fit then ever! Since I quit drinking and started working out in 2012 I think I've lost about 50 lbs. I've been at my goal weight for a while, but am getting more serious about toning. I've been thinking about creating a fitness type thread, so I (and hopefully others) can talk about working out and stuff.

:o indi
It's so weird. I was actually just thinking of you a few days ago. I was going to sign into HV to try and message you and illy to try and find out how you both were, but haven't had a chance to with the holidays.

We've missed you. SVS and bea have a stoners redo game coming up soon

That's my favourite picture of him. I love his little face in it. Such a cute boy <3

I was in World History class. I remember little about that day other then when it was announced I didn't realize at the time how serious it was. (mainly because I remember being annoyed at some chick's overthetop reaction.) I don't think we had TV's or anything playing except one in the Gym. I think the teachers mainly wanted us to try to go on with the day. I do remember that I had to go to work still after school and the restaurant I worked at was so slow.

Outside the US people likely will remember it as well. keys and I have had this discussion before and he remembered everything. Perhaps even better then me.

I just spelled behavior with a u in a mafia game on another site. I'm losing my American ways

Sorry for your loss Epi.
I think you are correct in remembering as he was at his best, not his troubles.

The internet told me it was a baby wombat. The internet wouldn't lie to me.

I did find this one:

Having to find it was part of my hesitance to change it. So lazy I'll look again and see if I still have it

It does seem to be a good occasion for it, but he likes the attention too much I think.

The bitch is back :o

My sister is going to have a baby. Yay I'm going to be an aunt for the 6th time ^_^

I used to love cantaloupe but the last few times I have eaten it I can't remember why

I can't eat cherries or anything cherry flavored. It makes me sick

Well they kinda do. The law suggests that they ride on the road, especially if there are no bike lanes or shoulders. But also, cops don't pull them over for running stop signs or red lights. So yes cyclists take advantage of this (I do too, but with safety in mind), but cities aren't currently set up for cyclists to get where they need to, so for now, that is the only option.

But the more bikers there are, the less congestion from automobiles there will be, theoretically.

Actually they don't. Laws here don't merely suggest they ride on the road, its required. And I have no problem with that if they follow the rules of the road. But I am almost hit weekly by a cyclist running a red light. And then the same cyclists ride up on the pavement and almost hit me there too.

We have already had two cyclists fatalities this year in London. I don't think I am wrong when I say that they should be more careful

I HATE cyclists. We have many here and the majority of them think they should have the rights of both a car and a pedestrian.

I think that cyclists should have to take a test to be allowed to ride out on the street with cars. (Maybe not all places, but definitely here and in other major cities) I don't think some people realize how dangerous it is.

We are getting some new cycle highways though, so maybe I will revisit cycling in 2016.

I was at Richmond Park today. And a dog round up a stampede of deer. Just like in this:



I couldn't believe it happened.

I just wanted in on the hugs

S~V~S wrote: Just one though.

OK, my stepsister is having a baby, a boy. she has two daughters. I saw a onesie that says "valonqar" on it. In GOT, the valonqar is the little brother prophesied to kill his sister (Cercei). The Dad watches/reads GOT, sissy does not.

Would this be a fun geeky baby gift, or would it be really tactless? Sometimes I have issues telling the difference.

I think it would be fun. Doesn't half the time the onesie go under other clothes? and get all sorts of poop and food on it? Chances are it will get stained/ruined eventually anyways, and if the mother really hates it she can always just choose another or put other clothes over it. I'm all for geeky shirts and such though and have no kids so I might not be the best person to ask

Arrrrr

My favorite holiday

With all the moving I don't know where my eyepatch is ;(

Does anyone here watch Boardwalk Empire? I just watched a preview for the final season and it looks pretty good. Admittedly I have only watched the last season and I was hoping to watch from the beginning before this season started.
( I didn't see a thread in the TV section, so I thought I would test the waters here first if it was popular. I only had Illy to discuss True Blood with on HV )

I'm not even joking. It's absurd and brilliant at the same time.

China cabnets, Jewlery, pictures, the recepie box, everything.

That reminds me of Arrested Development!

My dad likes to talk about who gets what when he dies too lol

Out of curiousity, how long have they been a part of the family? keys recently had a similar issue with his aunt and cousins taking everything of his grandparents, so I know he'd feel you and your brothers pain. I hate greediness. Especially in a situation like this because it should be about wanting a memento to remember by not about wanting it for the monetary value.
My siblings and cousins were probably mad at me when my grandmother died I got her favorite jewelry and I am one of the youngest, but I also took care of her.

Shetland has good ponies and sweaters.
