Re: More Stuff

Took my dad's car to the dealership he used to work at for an oil change. Turns out there's an active recall on the wiring harness, so that's getting replaced for free. It's so weird being up here now that he's gone. Before he stopped working here just over two years ago, there was always a really g...

Re: More Stuff

I've managed to record, edit, and upload a couple more videos to my YouTube channel (got another one uploading right now, actually), and I'd gotten a few things handled during the week. I had to take the death certificates back to the funeral home because the street name was wrong on the address, an...

Re: More Stuff

The house is empty now. It isn't supposed to be like this. Dad's supposed to be sleeping in the next room, mom's supposed to be here right now, and I'm supposed to be lying down to sleep, wishing I was already home. We're supposed to be hoping dad would get better, and we're supposed to be worried s...

Re: More Stuff

Well... The hardest parts of all of this have been completed. We just gotta figure out why the damn coroner hasn't signed dad's death certificate yet.

Re: More Stuff

And my dumbass forgot to even make the avatar... I'm going to use the 18th Infantry crest, for my dad. It was his last unit. My brother and I managed to get a new pair of unit commendations and a regulation name plate on dad's uniform. The only person to see him after the two of us is whoever closed...

Re: More Stuff

A few people made donations to help us with funeral costs, and after the funeral yesterday, my mom told us that someone paid off the entire thing, and wanted to remain anonymous. We don't know who it was. But those donations will definitely get the bills covered, and we can get a new dryer (ours sto...

Re: More Stuff

My dad's viewing was today. My brother had to contact Ft. Riley yesterday to look into getting a new pair of unit commendations, which were supposed to have been overnighted to the LRAFB where his father in law works, but so far no word. He also got in contact with whoever makes the name plates, and...

Re: More Stuff

My sister and I went to the only military surplus we could find that was open today to get the uniform parts we needed to get my dad ready for his funeral. The guy there was able to help us get one of the emblems we needed for one of his ribbons (a "2" for his NCO Professional Advancement ...

Re: Skinned Us Alive 2023-07-05

Actually, that doesn't sound too far fetched, biologically speaking, though I was thinking something related to the para side of the Wapsiverse. Either option sounds interesting to me. Or even both at the same time.

Re: More Stuff

My brother left me a voice mail this morning.

My dad passed away sometime overnight. Based on the condition of the body, it must have been around 5 in the morning. The only thing I know regarding arrangements is that he wanted to be buried in the national cemetery in North Little Rock.

I wonder, is it actually something about Cas that causes succubus tails to react like that?

Re: More Stuff

Welp... I've gotten into video editing. Currently, I'm just doing gameplay on my channel, and so far I've only done two videos. I'm currently focusing on playing a Minecraft survival series in single player, so my nieces and nephews, who all like Minecraft, can learn to play. However, I also intend ...

Re: Tales from the Tabletop

Well... We managed to cure my sorceress of her petrification, but unfortunately that's about it, besides some new NPCs my brother introduced who apparently aren't from the module we're playing. Also, Sunday marked a full year since we started our campaign. Hopefully, it won't take another year befor...

Re: Tales from the Tabletop

We didn't play last weekend, but we got two sessions in this weekend (that is, last night and the night before; my "weekend" includes Monday and Tuesday). We still haven't managed to get my petrified sorcerer to someone who can cast Greater Restoration, but then I remembered that our cleri...

Re: Tales from the Tabletop

Welp... One of my characters wound up petrified. And in D&D 5e, it's actually easier to come back from the dead than being petrified. I'm definitely not happy about it, even though we had all decided that this campaign is just a training campaign, and we're all going to reroll our characters for...

Not sure, but I have the suspicion that he's a Maid Man.

(Funny thing is, there's a super hero with that name in the Empowered comics. I have a feeling a lot of folks here would like that series...)

Re: 2023-05-08 Sakura Cafe

The look of horror on Short Stack's face... I can't say I'd react much differently to such an overwhelming locale.
