yeah I must admit I'm not the best at keeping in touch with people either. it is good to hear from you again though, I've sent a few thoughts your way through this whole pandemic thingo

and it's can be difficult. you know, you gotta balance life stuff and work stuff and relaxation and time just slips away
ah I'm sorry to hear that 😦

WinterVines 11-May-20 01:19 PM
i mean some states have "reopened" or whatever bologna it is. but i think its too soon. theres not enough testing done
balancing life stuff requires having a life! lol. but yeah work kept me pretty busy i guess

WinterVines 11-May-20 01:23 PM
that was a while ago yeah. it sort of worked i guess til she moved to her BF's place in maine. i got kind of tired of being her taxi tho
i guess a lot has kinda changed since then
big things i guess are.... had a surgery, stopped talking to charlotte, bought a house
what about you?

ChainReaction01 11-May-20 01:25 PM
oh wow those are big changes! similar kind of stuff on my end I suppose, bought an apartment in the CBD and in negotiations for a second place, climbing the ladder at work #wageslave
hopefully the surgery wasn't too serious

ChainReaction01 18-May-20 09:32 AM
that's a hard question to answer. I'd like to think yes, we always got along very well and had similar interests. but then we also differed on at least a couple of things, like I want kids where you didn't
put it this way, I'm 100% sure there's an alternate universe where we did. perhaps one where I was more mature and brave

yeah it is a hard question. ive been looking at those a lot lately. and this specific one is all ive thought about for like a week or so lol

no easy answer on that one, I'm afraid. we're all just doing the best we can, and take joy in the small things. for example, even though my workload is killing me at present, I'm happy that our paths have crossed again

oh absolutely. even if we were in the same counties there wouldn't have been any guarantees. and unfortunately it's not for us to know what would have been, that's the most heartbreaking thing
I honestly think we did well with the challenges we faced. Despite being thousands on miles apart, we had many happy times. That's what I try to focus on. You definitely are responsible for getting me through university, that was brutal af and I wouldn't have survived without you

I've always imagined life is like a river, or a series of rivers. the water flows and it is inexorable, there's no stopping it. however, you can fight to paddle in a certain direction, and you can have some amount of control over the branch you end up in. not complete control, but some

ChainReaction01 18-May-20 09:52 AM
I do, to a point. the world is massive and brutal and you can't win every fight, no matter how hard you fight. but if you cleverly pick your battles and fight those as hard as you can, then yes, you can come out ahead
like I couldn't take down ISIS, no matter how hard I tried. that's not a winnable battle

I mean it's a good example of how just reaching out and being honest can have good outcomes. I was never miffed at you, and I've always missed you, and often I've seen you online on steam and wanted to say hi, but I always remembered how much of a tool I was at the end and felt too ashamed to say anything
also I was just terrified of finding out that you hated me. I wouldn't have wanted to have that confirmed. easier to just hide

WinterVines 18-May-20 12:26 PM
i honestly dont remember you being a tool. but sometimes my memory is shit. what i remember is not showing up for you very well
like you needing more support at times when i was adversarional and intimidate when i didn't know how or had other issues going on you didn't know about.
the support thing bugs me a lot because that happened once with ronni too, when charlotte was visiting. and i still feel like trash after it.

a lot of that can probably be traced back to the charlotte trauma. for which I will never ever forgive her, not that I was planning to anyway. but let me state unequivocally now - you are not worthless, and you never were

I mean I have my own issues too. definitely on the intimacy front, my upbringing was very restrictive on that front and I didn't know what was proper. and then I wanted to help and provide but I also knew that wouldn't be great for your own self image.
I don't know if I ever told you this

what it speaks to me is insecure in relationship maybe. which woudlve been directly related to our partial intimacy
not gonna lie, there was a reason i didn't bring up the harassment and the extent of it while you were here
i didn't want you to do something that would endanger you unnecessarily
but i felt a lot safer knowing that you get that protective at the same time
honestly, i think the lazy human part of me would not really mind being provided for. but i would feel like i wasn't contributing enough unless there was like clear communication on it
cos like obviously the responsiblities just change around when that happens. like stay at home moms and stuff

Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 12:51 PM
yeah haha maybe one day. and i dont think i was ready to really acknowledge it myself then. which was stupid because hello, relationship. but sigh. what i took away from it was the knowledge that i could ruin his life whenever i watned
maybe not legally, but in all the ways that mattered
and it taught me not to be such a pushover i guess for that stuff. i have zero tolerance if someone makes inappropriate comments or advances toward my coworkers
i dont think your reactions are so unrealistic because i think it depends on where you live. like some places are just legit more violent and dark than others and you sort of have to respond like that or else get messed with

sorry, hang on, I think I've missed something. I thought you were referring to charlotte's harrassment. someone else was harrassing you?
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 12:53 PM
oh yeah
sorry, two separate things
yeah, was... harassed is a nice blanket term for it
but i think a lot of the intimate stuff freaked me out because of that.
which would have been fine if i'd been mature enough for a conversation
i felt so safe with you already, it was just my dumb own inner stuff that blocked me

ChainReaction01 18-May-20 12:54 PM
I... didn't know. I'm sorry. It's definitely good you didn't tell me, I would have probably killed whoever it was. Even now I am literally shaking wirh rage.
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 12:54 PM
esp cos you were always so petrified of hurting me, like when you stepped on my hand when we were camping haha
well dont do that ser. its probably the stupest high road ive ever taken, but i think now its more important to work past it. especially cos there were other factors like medicines and stuff. also age.
but, if you ever wondered why i was a little shy in regards to sex, that was why
that, and charlottes words about getting pregnant and her whole family echoing in my ear haha. could not fall into her trap that way
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-May-20 12:57 PM
wow, I am so sorry, that's awful. I never wanted to be one of those guys who was pushy. I thought it was because you were terrified of falling pregnant, which is 100% valid when there was an ocean between us. I feel really bad if I ever put pressure on you in that way
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 12:57 PM
well, that was a concern, but not the whoel thing. i never felt pressured from you at all
like i said, you made me feel safe
and i always knew i had nothing to worry about
if anything, it was the conflict of yes/no in my brain. like desire to but worry
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-May-20 12:58 PM
that's good, I'm glad you felt that way. you could always rely on me, and you still can.
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 12:58 PM
and when i get conflicted like that, in the past i defaulted to the more practical option. like just in case i did get pregnant and you left me or was across the ocean, i wouldn't be by myself in a situation i couldn't handle
not that i thoght you'd leave me because of that
it was just the ocean
the dang ocean
i rue you so badly

ChainReaction01 18-May-20 12:59 PM

but I never resented you for that, not even once. I always considered myself blessed for every second we shared
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 01:00 PM
im glad. i did worry about that a little
especially after it had been years. especially like the second visit especially
part of me feels i should have
not just because of want, but i think it would have helped your insecurity
since no wonder, with all the distance and stuff. i didn't doubt you doubted
and we didn't really talk about it in plain terms very much
because i wasn't telling you all the info
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-May-20 01:05 PM
no, I think you made the right choice. I'm confident there is a universe where we went all the way and you got pregnant and it ruined everything forever.
what I really enjoyed was the positive attention and general affirmation you gave. like, I know it's hard to live as a woman, but guys have it hard in different ways. we never get paid compliments or chased, which is what causes a lot of low self esteem. the bastards out there use it to justify their awfulness. but with you, I never felt that way. even now, a lot of my courage is linked into the stone cold fact that we were together because you wanted us to be
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 01:07 PM
im glad i was at least semi supportive. i wanted to be more but i was reflecting my own flaws onto you a lot of the time near the end

in many ways I think the universe hates us, because this is like the worst time in the world for us to be having this discussion. not only is there an ocean between us, there's a plague meaning I can't cross it
Avatar
WinterVines 18-May-20 01:16 PM
a thing ive been doing lately, which strangely enough, sparked from my job and how dumb it is
is look for opportunity in the problems
so for me, the plague means that the stimulus check we got means i can probably pay off my car bythe time the interest returns on my student loans, which means an extra 200 bucks a month
and th eplague meant i did a side hustle freelance thing easier
honestly, if the world takes a few months to calm down, thats just more prep tbh

I did the full iso thing, only went out to get supplies, and I had a wicked case of cabin fever by the end of it XD
work isn't super affected by it, at least my online side isn't - in fact, it's a great time to be in the online education business! but I lost all of my team to "restructuring" and now I have to carry way more than my own weight.

you basically write the entire thing and take no credit but get paid for it

i keep trying to revive a website and post a lot
but i keep failing and not being motivated. but im trying to get back into it. the license is up soon so ill need to refresh it

motivation is a hard thing to keep up. I've been trying to write a D&D adventure for years but it's such a large project. like beyond the story and characters and motivations, there's so much balancing math to be done. and then you have to organise artwork. and have the PDF be laid out and proofed properly. so much stuff I don't know how to do @_@
Avatar
WinterVines 19-May-20 09:32 AM
everything is figure out able!
that was a book i read recently
but thats fantastic that you have a project like that. youll breeze through the math bits no problem too
its just sectioning off pieces towork on at a time
Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-May-20 09:34 AM
yeah, you're not wrong. time and motivation are the key issues, as you are no doubt aware. but that's okay it comes and goes, some months I make lots of progress and others I don't. that's life
Avatar
WinterVines 19-May-20 09:35 AM
and i mean thats not a bad way to do such a big project. been trying to find effort to write my book too. i blitzed part of it during nano a few years back but i really need to go back and do it for real
Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-May-20 09:36 AM
baby steps! I like the idea of sectioning pieces off. that's was one part of my business & management course, turn large problems into small problems and attack them individually
Avatar
WinterVines 19-May-20 09:40 AM
yeah, it really helps. my book is like a collection of short stories so that really makes it a lot easier. its just finding which ones to include and in what order
and then writing the missing ones
Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-May-20 09:41 AM
that's a cool way of doing it. could allow you play with different writing styles and points of view and stuff as well. I'd kinda like to read of it some day but honestly I don't know that I would cope
Avatar
WinterVines 19-May-20 09:43 AM
its not all bad haha. i wouldn't be able to write it if it was just so dark.
honestly you probably know a lot of the info anyway. and some things wouldn't be talked about
like ive never told anyone else about my harassment
you're the only one i felt comfortable enough with for it. def not putting shit like that into the book. book is mostly about charlotte anyway
Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-May-20 09:44 AM
yeah fair enough.
you're the only person I've told certain things too. like I haven't told a soul some of things I want to tell you about this weekend.
and I know you probably won't care at all and I'm making mountains out of molehills because I'm really good at doing that but it's something I need to explain

WinterVines 19-May-20 09:47 AM
it matters to you
so its important regardless
im trying to make a list
but i need to conglomerate it cos its fckn everywhere
because ill forget some stuff otherwise

Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-May-20 09:51 AM
okay that's good. it's smart to write a list, I wouldn't know where to start XD and it's not something I did, it's something that happened to me. probably vaguely related to the harrassment you experienced tbh. I think it'll be good if I talk about it actually
just so you're warned, I'm... still a bit broken. trying to be better though

WinterVines 19-May-20 09:54 AM

my dad and i cut a countertop ourselves when we put in my second cabinet run, and i was terrified cos i had to hold it enough to not drop it on myself or pinch the circular saw blade

yikes. my burners work pretty well thankfully, except one that i have to light by hand sometimes. but the oven i haven't gotten used to yet. didn't really use it a ton but ive been cooking more, trying to be more responsible and all that fun stuff. this bake is a simpler one that kassidy made for easter, cos we spent it together. her husband was away on duty for like a month, and her kids were quarantined out of state so she was alone. not that i ad any plans. dad and sue didn't invite me out or even talk to me much that week outside of ME wishing THEM happy easter lol. my first friend-easter! i wanna do a friendsgiving and friendsmas one day too

yeh, way less drama, and thanksgiving is one of those minor holidays anyway
idk i just get tired of going to that house and then its all drama with sues kids and THEIR kids and idk. i think i feel the pressure from lack of that kind of family/relation/etc of my own. even like ronni is generally busy with her husbands family

WinterVines 20-May-20 09:45 AM
yeah its just like a policy. like im going into it with absolute honesty. like whatever you ask, ill answer. and ifi dont know an answer ill do my best to explain that too. so dont be afraid to ask anything. and that we don't assume any answers from each other unless the question is asked and discussed. cos answers in the past may not necessarily be the same now, etc etc
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 09:46 AM
I think that's a fantastic policy to have. ditto for the part about not assuming answers. we do have history but we need to discuss things afresh with our added experiences and wisdom. I will absolutely be following the same policy
I've been trying to write a list of things to discuss myself but honestly it all kinda boils down to like three points

indeed. it helped me sort some stuff out
so now that you lead a team, what more do you do?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 10:12 AM
well back when I had a team, I implemented a "triage" system, which is where we'd have an informal gathering two or three times a day to divvy up tasks and request help from each other where necessary. fostered a real team environment, like we're here to help each other but also not stepping on each other's toes. I also get to do more technical things which is great fun, like poking at databases and stuff
unfortunately, we've recently released a whole new version of the system and I loathe it. with a burning passion.
fair warning, no small number of new stories I have will relate to how much I hate the new system
but when I actually get to do fun stuff, it's pretty great! like system diagnosis and stuff
they throw me at problems they can't figure out and then wait for me to come back telling them exactly how I broke stuff
Avatar
WinterVines 20-May-20 10:14 AM
oh thats really cool. i love being a problem solver at my job
as shitty as the last store manager was, he did tell me what he liked about me was that i could problem solve on my feet and often had a solution in mind when i brought up a problem
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 10:15 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 20-May-20 10:17 AM
well when we dont have plague i do the coffee and food portion. so a lot of it is X product is out, so ima do this to try and get it, or like equipment. and sometimes people or bookfloor stuff. like one time the fridge door broke off and we had to jimmy rig it to stay shut so the stuff inside didn't go bad
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 10:18 AM
ah, practical problem solving, good stuff! my problem solving is always just some derivative of "some stupid virtual thing isn't doing the exact thing I want it to do, which of the gremlins powering it has gone walkabout"
Avatar
WinterVines 20-May-20 10:19 AM
that can be a fun hunt tho too. lately honestly i feel more challenged by the remodel we're doing on teh bookfloor. like trying to figure out how to efficiently move books so you dont have to move them 20 times and kill your knees and back haha. i wore a hole into my jeans that wore a hole into my knee, too

Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 10:36 AM
people are often resistant to change because they don't like change itself. I would know, I'm one of them! but change shouldn't be resisted for no reason. one of the things I'm really proud of is I no longer instinctively react negatively to change, I take the time to catalogue how I feel about it before doing or saying anything
Avatar
WinterVines 20-May-20 10:37 AM
thats a huge accomplishment. The old people at my work haven't grasped it yet haha. i like change i think. or at least trying new things. idk i feel like my life gets in these negative ruts otherwise, like i haven't found the right tracks yet
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 10:39 AM
I mean, life is change, almost by definition. and you're right about avoiding negative ruts, I've been in a few throughout my life because I'm quick to fall into a stable routine. stable routines aren't bad in and of themselves, but things do need to be kept fresh
Avatar
WinterVines 20-May-20 10:40 AM
yeah you're right. ive read thats why some people end up breaking up because they let their relationship get that way too. but even tiny things can really brighten a boring thing up a lot. or just changing one thing out of order or whatnot

ChainReaction01 20-May-20 11:13 AM
that's understandable. also you're a sensible person which is a great way to be. for what's its worth I do not recommend the experience of being drunk, it's basically just a slippery slope from feeling fun and chatty to going too far. I've never had a hangover though, lowkey proud of that
for me I have a few ciders from time to time but that's because I like the way they taste, not the alcoholic content. fizzy apple juice, yum!

ChainReaction01 20-May-20 12:19 PM
it reeks of an IP issue, your laptop is trying to use a certain number to connect but something else is already using that number
flushing the dns should fix that problem, but I guess it hasn't?
can you try hotspotting your phone and connecting the laptop to that?

no power sources? what does that do to it?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 20-May-20 12:34 PM
sometimes network issues are caused by corrupted files and those files are kept alive as long as the battery is active. so if you drain the computer (or at least deny it access to mains power) one of the first things it drops is the corrupted files. then it'll go to fetch new ones which should be proper

WinterVines 22-May-20 09:44 AM
whats a long service leave?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 09:45 AM
over here you get a special kind of holiday leave called long service leave which you can't use until you've worked in the same place for somewhere between 7-10 years
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 09:45 AM
oh, is it like longer than your regular holiday time?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 09:46 AM
yeah I think so. at least equal. so regular full time workers here get, per year, 4 weeks of holiday leave, 2 weeks of sick leave, and I think it's somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks of long service leave as well
so it's super common for people to hit the long service leave threshold and then be like "I'm out of here for four months, cya bitches"

WinterVines 22-May-20 09:47 AM
shit, you guys get so much vacation and perosnal time

ChainReaction01 22-May-20 09:47 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 09:48 AM
well i mean here, only full timers get vacation too. but ive been full time for like 4 years, and i only get like 2 weeks and a couple days
plus a few days of sick time that does NOT pay out or roll over if i dont use it. last year i lost 33 hours of sick time because every time i was sick, we were too short and i could'nt call out
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 09:56 AM
that's awful. our sick days do roll over thankfully but you get interrogated if you take too many. they never get paid out though, my mum has something like 300 days she hasn't used which she'll lose when she retires in a few years
funny how the pandemic has changed the whole "come to work sick" thing

WinterVines 22-May-20 09:57 AM
yeah. i mean it should have been true before, since i worked in food. but a lot of times ihad to cover a manager on the floor
i did so much work above my pay grade lol
thats how it always be with corporations
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 10:01 AM
oh absolutely, the managers just roll everything downhill. there's a fuel station corporation here called On The Run that I legitimately believe is properly evil, their entire business model revolves around offering casual contracts to kids and people with mental impairments, squeezing them for what they're worth for as many years as possible, and then dumping them when they can't get anything more out
they let the workers think there's a path upwards by letting them slowly work their way to assistant manager of a store but the manager positions are ALWAYS hired from outside the company
and no surprises, they're usually friends of existing managers
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 10:03 AM
yikes, thats awful. this company actually had a huge issue with that lately, with all the outside store managers being utter trash, so now they invoked a rule that a store manager HAS to be a promoted from within sort.
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 10:05 AM
that's really good, I'd love to see that implemented in more places. seems so dumb to try and foster team spirit just to have an outsider come in and supplant the goodwill that's already there. my company is really good about promoting from within, the problem is that there's no free spots atm, the senior management team is already, like, 1/5th of the entire company lol
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 10:05 AM
yeah, with smaller companies you get better quality but there's fewer positions unless youre there 9874938475 years

ChainReaction01 22-May-20 10:21 AM
not sure that it's true. and religion muddies things up obviously. but I think people have spiritual needs just like they do physical and emotional ones, and for those who don't have or want a religion, those needs can be met via self-enquiry and exploration

Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 10:31 AM
yeah, that was the focus of at least a couple conversations we had. I never tried to push you into anything because I know you haven't had much choice in your life and I wanted you to have as much choice/power/whatever as possible in our relationship
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 10:32 AM
yeah but thats also not fair
and that's what the issue on my side was lol
like, the lazy human part of me always was like hey, easy choice
but my sense of fairness would not
i dont think presenting a choice is bad. the making of hte coice is fine. i think its when its like an ultimatum that my triggers go off
like in mich for example, i knew my life had stagnated and i wasn't going anywhere
so i didn't feel i had another choice other than quit my job and move
and where else was i going to go? th eonly other place i know that wasn't moving back in with dad (will not do that ever, will NOT be a freeloader) was this area. far enough away but still able to get support cos i didn't have anything
and so while it may have been the good option, it still didn't really feel liek a choice because there wasn't the option in staying in the spot i was before
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 10:36 AM
I understand, or at least I think I do. it's one way I have been privileged because I've always had the ability to make choices. I mean, I've had my family use lethal amounts of emotional blackmail to guide me the way they want me to go, but whenever I've put my foot down and made a decision they have respected it
I try so hard to be mindful of what I say because I know I've had a better run of things than most people.
or at least, in the ways that people can see

yikes, i hate when people CAN do something themselves but don't/too lazy. helpless people irk me a little bit haha.
SO much more labor. one of hte managers is in a hissy fit because she's not in charge of the store design, because she is the assistant store manager and has other jobs. and not the merchandize manager. so the merch manager who the layout of books is literally her entire job is running the relay. and at every opportunity, the ASM questions, criticizes, or doesn't follow instructions and it's caused us SO much work and time wasting on her part

Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 11:29 AM
yeah. she wants to be in charge, but thats not her job. her job is admin, not merchandise. but she wont understand that. like, you gotta let the managers do their job and either do it and learn or fail. and she protects the other merch manager who has been supposed to be in charge of receiving and overstock and is sucking at it. apparently she cried the other day cos she could'nt figure it out when its literally her whole job right now without the observing the floor part even, so this ASM is doing things to make the other managers life easier while defying the merch manager who's actually in charge. i found some really bad practices in fiction today, and it's gonna cost us hours of extra work that shouldn't have been there. the store manager was actually pretty upset about it

i am so glad its friday tomorrow. im ready to be away from work. today felt like a test. they had me set a table by myself. naturally wasn't perfect but they offered tips and were reassuring. cos apparently other actual booksellers who have been there for years can't follow instructions. so the lowly not-manager-in-anything-that-counts cafe person has to do it
(test in a good way tho. i low key think they're thinking about when the ASM leaves/is replaced)
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:23 PM
set a table? like a cafe table for eating? it'd be cool if they're thinking about using your skills in a more managerial capacity, you definitely have the empathy and problem solving to be good at it
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 12:25 PM
like a book table.
the cafe had all the tbles removed cos restaurant seating isn't allowed haha
also cafe isn't running so ive solely been doing book stuff. i mean im glad to learn new things. it keeps it less stale. but honestly i do not want to stay at this company long term

ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:28 PM
oh I see. yeah you don't necessarily have to stay long term but you might as well take whatever you can while you're there!
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 12:31 PM
yeah def. and i feel i already did the ASM's job before, so i could handle it. ive been prepping my lead to take over for me anyway. idk, i just feel like ill be moving on soon and i know he can do it. i can do a lot of that admin stuff and watching the floor. i had to be manager on duty for months before when teh store manager was absent
if they wanna pay me more im all for it. but i doubt that XD
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:33 PM
yeah funnily enough corporations don't really like paying people extra money if they can't afford it! it's good of you to make sure that your lead can do everything, lots of people I know don't care about training their underlings and just drop everything in someone's lap when their time comes to leave. I always try to train my team members but lately they either don't care or are way too busy 😦
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 12:36 PM
yeah, some people dont have that priority. but jeff had to step up when i was on the floor all the time. his GF is the kids' lead too. they coudl use the extra money too cos her mom is a freeloader who lives with them. we've had a lot of discussions about what it takes to move up like for interviewing ands tuff. but this new manager has changed a few of my thoughts so i have more to talk to him about if they ever let people back
due to plague, all the cafe people got chopped immediately and are on the very bottom of the call back list regardless of how long they've been there. its bs. jeff has been here almost as long as i have, almost 4 years
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:44 PM
yeah it's so rough. that's happened down here too, like anyone with manual food handling jobs at cafes and stuff just instantly got dropped. our govt did organise payments for those people which is not bad, $600 a week or something if you got laid off, but it's still really rough. luckily we never shut down the takeaway food option so hospitality staff was decimated, not thoroughly destroyed
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 12:47 PM
thats good at least. a lot of our food here stayed to-go only and just reduced hours. theres some unemployment funds going around, but a lot of people haven't received anything yet, even tho its been months. im very lucky to be still working, but some people not working are making more than me lol. they're getting like 70% of their wages plus an extra 600 a week.
...i dont even take home 600 a week
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:48 PM
yeah I know it's despicable. like the govt's saying these people get that much money cos they need to survive right? well what about the people still working, doesn't that mean you're saying they're not earning enough to survive? down with capitalism tbh (edited)

WinterVines 22-May-20 12:51 PM
pretty much. its very sad. idk. but i mean this happens other places in the world too i guess. but our student loans are one of the most jacked up things out of everyone's
i would be able to save if not for the atrocity of them
i feel like such a failure that this has gotten out of hand. i didn't know enough about how the system worked and then something my dad did really screwed over one of my loans because he's the cosigner on it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-May-20 12:54 PM
wow that's rough. it's not your fault that you didn't know, it's not like the information is made readily available. they should teach this kind of stuff instead of algebra, like when was the last time we needed to compute the volume of space under a curve ffs
but house loans and student loans and good saving principles? pfffft who needs that
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 12:55 PM
i mean the loan companies hide it on purpose so they can get extra money out of you tbh
basically, he went bankrupt, so this loan cut off all contact with me
would not answer qusetions, didn't bill me, didn't make it clear how i could pay on it
and so when they started charging me again, the loan had doubled
(when he went out of his bankrupcy status years later)

your dad declared bankruptcy and that burned you?

WinterVines 22-May-20 12:57 PM
yeah, ikr
and now, the loan is too big i can't take him OFF the loan
even tho ive made like 4 years of consecutive payments
ive put in 3 apps and they denied every one for the balance being too high

that's seriously wrong
puts my teeth on edge just thinking about it
Avatar
WinterVines 22-May-20 01:00 PM
yeah, its dumb. but ima beat it. somehow ._.
i mean in theory the strat here
is that i sell the house and earn enough to pay off the student loans. or at least a good chunk
the private loan is the killer one. the government ones are ezpz
provided they keep their word and keep no interest until sept due to corona, i may even be able to pay one off nearly by the time i "need" to make payments on them
but the private one has an interest rate that i can't top
i just dont have like an extra 400 to throw at it every month

ChainReaction01 22-May-20 01:06 PM

thats true, it can be attractive. but it can also feel powerful to be the confident one and be allowed to display that from the other end too i suppose
regardless i think you're attractive soooo
like one of my 20 questions today is would you rather be sexy or rich? like i know you are both already, but if you had to lose one, which one would you keep lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 24-May-20 06:31 AM
haha 😛 +1 to self confidence! that's a tough question. because neither of them have a particularly direct route to love and happiness. I think if I had to pick I'd probably choose rich, if only because I think it's harder to amass money than it is to perform the basic level of self-care required to be presentable. also because money can be used for good, through like charity benefits and stuff, where it's hard to help people by merely being attractive. what do you think?

they look at me weirdly at work when I explain that I try to take my lunch break as late as possible because I'm not as smart afterwards

i think its like, you disrupt being in the zone
also i prefer later lunches cos then im not as impatient to go home cos theres less time left

yeah
i did look into that a little bit today
just like basics
about like marriage green cards and stuff
since thats probably the simplest way
and waiting for that averages like 10-38 months depending on status of spouse
its slightly faster for here because im a citizen and not a green card person, so i think it said like 11-13 months avg
on that end. kinda spendy tho. and ofc, trump is trying to increase the cost by over 50% and removing all the types of fee waivers

it's great fun but surprisingly mentally taxing. like you have eight guns running off four ammo types so you have to constantly juggle them. then there's health and armor to manage so you don't die. then you have the recharging chainsaw that drops ammo, the flamethrower that drops armor (for no adequately explained reason) and the finishers for health regen. then there's recharging frags and ice grenades to manage as well. and that's just you, each of the demons has their own weaknesses to remember and manage. like if you come up against a pinky and you're out of shotgun shells that's a big rip because he's resistant to plasma and bullets

WinterVines 25-May-20 11:06 AM
yeah, im really glad. so at least that direction wouldn't be so complicated. dont know how much it differs if it was to over here instead but it seemed about teh same. did she mention how long it took to process the visa?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 25-May-20 11:09 AM
to come here, it was like ten months or so. she's going to look into specifics when she can. she does know that (at the time at least) it was way trickier and more legal-ey for cam to go there
she kinda let me into their plans a bit. apparently they're still doing the stuff to get cam over there. living as a married couple here is more "evidence" that they're putting towards the application to go to the US
so that's something we could look at doing. like here for a bit then go there
Avatar
WinterVines 25-May-20 11:10 AM
oh i did wonder about that. because permissions to live in both places would be ideal ultimately
did they have to get married in both countries?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 25-May-20 11:11 AM
I don't think so. they definitely had like a ceremony etc here (because I was invited lol) where her family came over so I think part of the visa is, like, ensuring that both countries recognise the marriage
Avatar
WinterVines 25-May-20 11:12 AM
yeah cos i mean you can purchase a marriage certificate in both places. but i wonder if that helps or not.
im not worried about it just yet. but i mean ofc, the sooner we start the sooner it can happen. but a visit first might be nice haha. dang corona.

I would wear whatever ring you wanted me to wear. never seen them though, I'm curious, is it a US thing?
Avatar
WinterVines 25-May-20 11:19 AM
its a slightly newer thing. they're just slightly more flexible rings made of silicone that a lot of people use instead of regular metal ones. you can customize them and color them and stuff. and then they're safer to wear say in th emilitary, in factories, etc. you can't catch them on stuff and shatter a finger. also theyre like 60 max
also i would want you to have a ring that YOU wanted to wear
Avatar
ChainReaction01 25-May-20 11:20 AM
I know, I meant I have no real preferences when it comes to a ring. guys usually just have smooth-ish kinda rings that I've seen, maybe with some designs
so if you like the idea of silicone rings that works for me! although for the record I would be happy to get you something more traditional. with big rocks that say "get lost, she's with already with someone who makes lots of money" XD
Avatar
WinterVines 25-May-20 11:23 AM
but with a silicone ring, you could make it black with like a filigree and it would pop out immediately on my pale skin to say a similar thing!
i would worry about breaking a fancy ring probably. also theft. but maybe for like special occasions down the road?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 25-May-20 11:25 AM
I like both of those ideas! maybe something we could look at when I come visit. and if you're okay with that, then sure, I can save money for more important and urgent things and then surprise you later on
just don't want to look like a cheapskate to others!

so to do a joint account for something when we're still in separate countries we'd probably have to do like a paypal connected one right? since there'd need to be proof of that eventually

no I like brainstorming! a paypal account is probably a good idea
cos obv we'd still have separate ones

an IUD is the metal piece that literally plugs the tubes inside
the shot is a separate thing. and then theres the pills

right. it's a pity AUS govt blocked this india-tested male contraceptive which is a small surgery to insert these bands that kill the sperm as they head out. 100% success rate in tests and fully reversible. something to do with "not enough human testing" but people are pretty confident it was blocked by hygiene and drug companies

WinterVines 25-May-20 12:28 PM
oh probably. also probably people with a hand in like abortion or baby care in general
ronni has an IUD and it works for her but when she first got it, it slipped and she had to get it readjusted. but she doesn't have a period much anymore either, which would be a nice bonus. but mine were not as bad as hers usually

do they need to be replaced at all? or is that the shot I'm thinking of

WinterVines 25-May-20 01:15 PM
the shot is every 3 months
but on the pro side i could get that like right before a visit and be good and not have to necessariyl get it 4 times a year
the IUD have differing rates
some are 12, 7, 5, and 3 years
but they can be removed at any time too

for what it's worth, based on very little second-hand information, I recall that the implant is usually seen as safer than the IUD. if only because IUD can cause scarring. which isn't a massive problem unless you want kids later on so it doesn't really affect us but still worth keeping in mind
Avatar
WinterVines 25-May-20 01:49 PM
scarring is pretty rare tho
but yeah i think maybe the iud is what i'd go with long term
but maybe for the first visit, just the shot cos its cheaper too, in case my insurance doesn't cover it

i didn't do much today. baked that squash and roasted the seeds, prepped noodles for work's soup tomorrow. did a couple doodles. sort of reading bits of this book im beta reading for one of ash's friends
how was your night?

its semi productive at least. altho i still feel hazy and that i didn't get much done lol. def dont wanna go to work tomorrow but that's like every day haha. im glad you feel refreshed. also, inappropriately?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 26-May-20 10:26 AM

its part of planning al ife together

ChainReaction01 26-May-20 10:31 AM

what time do you usually get off work? or at least, what time tomorrow?
Avatar
WinterVines 26-May-20 10:33 AM
i generally get off work at 530 right now. at least this week
so i get home and feed cats, get undressed, sometimes yoga, etc. and usually am done by 6
so thats 830 am your time
right before you start work iirc?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 26-May-20 10:37 AM
yeah that's like right as I'm driving to work. okay that's fine. if your shifts change off from weekends then we can voice for a couple/few hours before I go to work
/likes planning
Avatar
WinterVines 26-May-20 10:38 AM
me too, i actually had a thought about that today as well that i wanted to run by you. but yeah my schedule this week shoudl be like 9 to 530 for me but they're gonna open us on friday, so i also dont know if they'll pull me off one day this week to move to the weekend instead, since idk who's gonna make the coffee if im not there haha
i think i would like a long-term gameplan of like the steps we need to do to make this happen
otherwise i feel like we're just spinning wheels and not making progress toward physically being togeher (even tho i know we just have to wait for now, but my primitive brain needs some sort of steps)
Avatar
ChainReaction01 26-May-20 10:40 AM
no I like this plan too. it would be good for us to start actively plotting out what needs to be done. perhaps I can make a shared Google Drive folder / document and we can start dropping notes and stuff in there
make an overall plan, cut it down into sections, then plot out the objectives required for those sections
it's easy to say "get married" but we actually need to look into things like certificates, what's required legally for those, any costs involved, lead times, etc
Avatar
WinterVines 26-May-20 10:42 AM
yeah, and then that gives me stuff to look up so i dont feel like im putting it on ou
like today i found out that a marriage license lasts for 6 months in MN but takes a week to obtain. so you hav eto get it legally done within those 6 months. and that it was like 115 dollars if you didn't take a 'Marriage class" or w/e it was. no thanks
a google file would actually be helpful to let us add big sections and then outline stuff under it

ChainReaction01 26-May-20 10:49 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 26-May-20 10:51 AM
yeah, personal accounts.
i just feel im missing pieces of like the overall process
so i tried to look up that sort of stuff first
i tend to internalize information better when i do something with it
in college, for psychology, i came up with hella fanfic prompts and outlines using the info i learned. there was SO MUCH

ChainReaction01 26-May-20 11:09 AM
that makes perfect sense, like I only really learn stuff when I'm actually using it. copying things straight from a textbook onto a notepad never did anything for me

WinterVines 26-May-20 11:09 AM
sometimes that did for me, with the muscle memory, but only really if i interacted with it in some way, like making my own notes in the margins/etc

ChainReaction01 26-May-20 11:10 AM
it is how some people learn for sure. like some learn by listening, or writing, or doing - it's different for all of us
Avatar
WinterVines 26-May-20 11:11 AM
yeah. depending on the thing that method changes for me
like if i dont talk to someone this whole legal process is going to be very hard to me. like voice. so you may have to explain a lot of things lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 26-May-20 11:14 AM
it's fine, we can definitely talk about this kind of stuff over voice. and then in person too. maybe I'll see if I'm allowed to voice-record the meetings I have with lawyers

WinterVines 26-May-20 11:14 AM
oh, that would be helpful
so then i can go back and listen again

true, like an introductory course
the problem is that everyone is so different
so personal trainers make a lot of sense because everyone's routine and diet has to be specific to them

mel helped though, she told me about some loopholes and stuff they used

the partner visa is interesting
they really let you stay that long?
but its a two years thing. thats not bad. i wonder how the work visa would work with that
Avatar
ChainReaction01 27-May-20 10:45 AM
the way mel and cam did it basically went like this. - they visited each other etc - mel came here as a tourist - they then got married, lol, and applied for the "I'm here and want to stay" visa - govt had to let mel stay while they reviewed the decision - after checking all evidence and doing a couple of interviews, it was approved (edited)

oh interesting. she went on a vacation and stayed there
Avatar
ChainReaction01 27-May-20 10:46 AM
and simultaneously they were applying for visas for cam to stay there
yeah it's a really interesting loophole. legally counts as "eloping"

actually I think she could
not 100% sure on that. need to clarify
Avatar
WinterVines 27-May-20 10:47 AM
is that maybe cos she has an essential job?
cos like im not sure how that visa works
also, i think maybe im misunderstanding some of this info
Avatar
ChainReaction01 27-May-20 10:47 AM
well she wasn't working as a nurse at the time because AUS wouldn't recognise her credentials. that's a whole other story though
okay, what aren't you sure about?
can I try to clarify?
Avatar
WinterVines 27-May-20 10:47 AM
for teh offshore visa, it takes 1.5 years to get it?
is that what yo umeant?
and the partner visa kinda implies the same? or did you mean it takes 2 years for a permanent one and the partner one lasts until then
Avatar
ChainReaction01 27-May-20 10:50 AM
okay so my understanding is there's basically two options. offshore partner is where you apply from the US and say "I'm James' partner and want to live here". they then collate data, do reviews etc, and decide whether you can come. and that takes approx 1.5 years.
the way cam and mel did it was the other way, quicker and easier (and cheaper too I think).
she came in as a tourist, got married, and the "onshore partner" one means they can't kick you out until they've finished reviewing
and that onshore review process takes between 1-2 years
Avatar
WinterVines 27-May-20 10:51 AM
hmm. see that makes sense to me, but not the working bit lol
i think ive built up in my mind that it just takes super long for every single visa
and you need a visa to do like anything
Avatar
ChainReaction01 27-May-20 10:53 AM
see that's the trick, and why it's "eloping". if you come here like an ordinary tourist (which isn't hard) and then get married to me (because I got down on my knee and you couldn't refuse me) and then we
're like "whoops we got married and she wants to stay, you can't kick her out now"
Avatar
WinterVines 27-May-20 10:53 AM
they didn't look at the details from cam and mels relationship and go, thats fishy?
cos like, the last thing i want is to be kicked out to not be able to come back

um that'll require thought
that's okay, I've already jotted down some thoughts. didn't think of music but that's a good idea

true. i dont know much sexy music hha

what if we compromise
and the silicone ring is the engagement ring
Avatar

oh I like that
cos engagement rings aren't always super flash
and then I can give you something a bit more traditional for actual marriage. although not super traditional because diamonds can get lost

WinterVines 28-May-20 09:31 AM
yeah, but slightly fancier ifyou like

ChainReaction01 28-May-20 10:19 AM
generally no. the suburb that I live in and the suburbs around us are very safe. it's why I get very shocked and uncomfortable when you mention duluth is a trafficking town because it's not heard of here, like at all. there are always some incidents of, like, drunkards on trains and obviously I wouldn't want you wandering around the red light district but beyond that adelaide is quite safe to explore
Avatar
WinterVines 28-May-20 10:21 AM
i mean its not heard of a lot here. its just an underlying problem now and then. im pretty safe here
okay thats good to know. cos like going to get groceries and stuff. like i dont wanna be totally a babby and dependent on you for everything

ChainReaction01 28-May-20 10:24 AM
nah I understand completely, I don't want you trapped in the house. I'd sort out a phone and sim or whatever and then you can explore on the days I have to work or w/e. hell you could drop me off at work and use my car if you'd like lol (edited)

oh I see. for living then you'll be 100% fine, seriously it shocks me how dangerous the US seems. like if a single person gets attacked or goes missing in adelaide it's on the evening news for weeks

I've known you were the one for ages. like probably damn close to a decade at this point. I didn't want to make things even more confusing and volatile by asking you to marry me

and this is kind of selfish but I will tell you
despite being christian, I have always believed that people should test sexual compatibility before getting married. since I knew you had issues with that and I didn't want to push you, I also held off on proposing marriage

you did more than I ever could have hoped. remember that I was raised ultra-conservative, believing that masturbation was evil and that porn was worse and girls definitely didn't engage in either. so you doing that with me meant the world

like breathing and squeaks and stuff
cos that's honestly what does it for me. part of the whole demisexual thing I guess. I only really get off if it's obviously an enjoyable experience for both parties
manufactured porn does literally nothing. I only really have any luck with, like, amateur stuff

Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-May-20 12:17 PM
yeah yours might be a bit trickier. mel was just living at home so she didn't have to worry about that. I think this is where the lawyer will come in handy because they'll provide advice about this. visitor visas aren't generally scrutinised, it's just like "oh a tourist wants to come in, has she ever been to the middle east? no okay then come in". 100% sure they wouldn't care if you quit your job. house might be slightly different, we will have to ask about that
could house selling stuff be managed over the internet?

WinterVines 28-May-20 12:20 PM

thats maybe one of the things that we could come back here for. since they dont bar travel
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-May-20 12:21 PM
yeah absolutely. mel was very confident about the whole travel still being allowed thing, it just requires paperwork apparently
so we might as well talk about this
here's kinda vaguely what I'm planning
come visit you ASAP
later on, whenever you're comfortable and have the time, come here to visit
during that visit, just meet with the lawyers and talk about everything
you go back
then you come visit again, except this time I get to keep you
and then while you're here, we get married, do the elope thing. go back to see your friends and family, do another ceremony there if you want. organise house etc. start whatever paperwork for me to live there
because I absolutely want the option for us to live in both place

ChainReaction01 28-May-20 12:28 PM
I do know there were like visitor visa options where you're auto-allowed re-entry
can't find it atm because work is spastic
but like, we apply for that one for your first visit
so nothing is sketch. you're still employed and have a house
come visit
go back
no need to reapply for a visa, as long as you return inside of like 12 or 18 months or something

I understand. I know freedom is important to you so I never want anything to seem like it's something you "must" do.
it's just that AUS > US seems to be quicker and easier. it's not fair but it's the way things are
it's especially not fair because, as you've said, it means so much more cognitive load for you

no. if there's something I can promise you, it will be support. unreserved support
and that's not carrying you
no freeloading
just, support.
honestly honey, take your time.
don't worry
I will come and see you the SECOND I can and we'll talk about all of this in person

WinterVines 28-May-20 12:53 PM
i think its the freeloading thing
now that im thinking about it
even if i know we're together
and a team and whatnot
it LOOKS like mooching
or that im being kept or w/e

it won't be. because you can work. whether it's self-employed stuff or even if you get a job as a barista here
the visa thing says specifically that you can work

it's just to save money, not necessary. if we decide to live here, even for a while, I would get a house for us
I was planning on making another real estate investment in the near future anyway, it'd be nice if that was a place for us to live
Avatar
WinterVines 28-May-20 01:51 PM
true. but it also dependson current funds. cos one of the things that would probably need to happen if we eloped would be to pay off at least the nasty student loan
as much as i dont wanna say it cos it still makes me feel bad and like im taking advantage o fyou lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-May-20 01:53 PM
pfffft. I suppose it's worth considering fallback plans though. I will ask Pete his thoughts on the matter. I know that he wants to buy his own place anyway, he's just being a bit lazy, so maybe if I hinted that I might kinda need this place to myself he might get more of a move on
and I'm sure he wouldn't mind being around us anyway. he doesn't spend much time at home

Tiny bit of backstory; last year, George R. R. Martin took a bit of a shot at Tolkien for simply stating "Aragorn's reign as king was prosperous" without talking about things like tax benefits, whether he maintained a standing army, etc. The response was incredulous, and led to a meme that's been referred to as "taxposting". https://imgur.com/a/8w60h

Avatar
ChainReaction01 29-May-20 11:24 AM
not paranoid I guess. I just don't like the idea of it at all. I know that there'll be an adjustment period but honestly that works for me too, in that I love the idea of just holding you close while you acclimate. it's an experience I want us to share. you certainly don't need to go out and get bigger items just to prepare yourself
to be real honest
it's always been a fear of mine that I end up in a relationship where the woman can pleasure herself better than I can
Avatar
WinterVines 29-May-20 11:24 AM
that is laughable
to be honest i only really use a vibrator. its not really meant for good penetration, just shaking
but it was a little bit of an adjustment. also pleasing yourself is damn hard cos the angle is always wrong
and like i said, not quite long nor girthy enough to really set me off i dont think

that's a great question because most of my favourites have some real hardcore shit go down
the easy answer is pokemon because it's comfy as hell, no real danger but still lots of adventures

what about you, thoughts?

ChainReaction01 29-May-20 12:17 PM
I mean, both? it's tricky for me because I don't like violence. and I don't want to hurt you. but at the same time, especially lately, I just cant stop myself fantasising about being a little bit rough
against walls and stuff
idk
I just want you
primal stuff

WinterVines 29-May-20 12:18 PM
im down for both of those tings
i dont think its violent
its like controlled force
or pressur eis a better word than force
as long as its not causing actual pain its all good
Avatar
ChainReaction01 29-May-20 12:19 PM
yeah pressure is good. and you've mentioned a couple of times you think you might like the sub kind of stuff. so maybe a good mood to get going is like slight dominance
pushed against the wall of the shower, stuff like that
not forceful, just making sure you can't get away until I'm done with you
and it might take a while!

yes please! I'm excited to show that off. what a feeling, to know that you're wearing something that your partner is also wearing at the exact same time
do you have any regrets/disappointments that there won't be many surprises? like ideally I would have liked to surprise propose to you
(neutral question btw, just curious)
Avatar
WinterVines 29-May-20 12:42 PM
not really. sometimes a surprise can be a bad thing if youre not 100% sure of the answer OR if it's like in public or with family and kind of embarassing. i think it shoudl be a private moment mostly. then theres no pressure ot answer one way or another
and honestly i like the honest discussion part about deciding if that's somethig you wanna do or not
and you still get to surprise me when you ask if we do the elope thing
or do a gesture if that's what you wanna do
Avatar
ChainReaction01 29-May-20 12:44 PM
idk, it's kinda just a traditional thing to do which is why I kinda like it lol. but I wouldn't say I have regrets, I do like that it's been a discussion and decision. I will just surprise you in other ways
Avatar
WinterVines 29-May-20 12:44 PM

also you can still do partial tradition by asking dad and wayne

honestly it's your call. I'm not asking for their permission per se, I want to inform them of my honourable intentions. tell them how much I love you and that I will do anything necessary to provide you with a happy life. they're probably smart enough to know that if we're moving forward we'll need to get married

Avatar
ChainReaction01 30-May-20 09:19 PM
warning, this is going to be a long read, I just have so much to say... I can't just pick one XD I think the root of it all is uncontrollable excitement. you know, I feel this strong intellectual and emotional connection with you and you obviously hit all of my buttons physically. and then, just the thought/knowledge that you sometimes touch yourself while thinking of me is too much to handle. it means that not only do you love me, you desire me, and that's not a thing that most men get to experience often. the thought that my name is on your lips and that you might be doing to yourself what I'm doing to myself at the same time because you're just as excited for a physical and sexual connection as I am is just out of this world. also it is so... gratifying? flattering? idk that upon just the thought that we might be in contact again soon drove you to that state. I think there's also a component of my upbringing, which taught me (incorrectly) that women aren't sexual creatures, they do what they must to please the men and that's it. and now here's this gorgeous woman who not only makes my heart sing through conversation, but she also wants me? it's like literally every fibre of my being (including the blood that's gone somewhere it doesn't usually go) is just screaming "TAKE HER NOW DAMMIT, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR" that was probably way more than you were expecting, my apologies for that haha. you just drive me absolutely wild with the thought that maybe I'm doing something similar for you. going to bed now but I can't wait to speak with you again tomorrow 😀
Avatar
WinterVines 30-May-20 09:53 PM

WinterVines 01-Jun-20 09:05 AM
so there were more things that happened last night
i will say that the protests were kept peaceful for the most part
but like, they graphitied a lynching mememorial at one of the parks, which was rude and sort of defeats teh purpose of protesting this guy's death
there were a couple of fights as well, and these took place at a gas station that is like.... idk, like ten blocks away from here?
they had to use tear gas to send the protestors home because they stayed there til like 2 am. and got into fight with each other, liek protestor to protester, and used mace, and then they beat up a kwik trip employee (the gas station where they were at). the cops had things thrown at them, people were spitting on them, etc etc. but the gas station opened up as normal this morning
up the hill like way down the street, someone lit a car on fire, but nobodys sure if that's related to the protest or not. that could just be opportune moment sort of thing. places like walmart are still closed til further notice. this includes the sporting goods store in our mall (probably because they sell guns) and tey've like barricaded the doors with pallets and stuff

I mean, if you're not in any physical danger then it's probably okay to go to work. as long as idiots aren't clogging up the roads. more safety in a group anyway - if necessary you could go with kassidy and her coast guard husband can keep you safe until I get there

it was a just in case sort of thing. it made me feel better in the moment
i just really wish you were hre. i feel braver at work with other people but here im alone
and then i made myself feel bad cos like if i had to flee, i wouldn't be able to save the cats barring leaving the door open ;[ i feel worse about leaving my cats to a bad fate than hurting someone offering me violence
so do with that info what you will

ChainReaction01 01-Jun-20 09:42 AM
I know. I wish I was there too. I would charter a jet to come get you if I could. also I feel the same way, like I would prefer to get wounded than leave any of my pets behind
it's not nice to think about but I will always get your back on the decisions you make. if, heaven forbid, someone broke in and you felt you needed to stay to defend your cats, I promise I would not be angry with you

WinterVines 01-Jun-20 09:43 AM

s cool
like a stylised icon, I assume
where would you get it?
Avatar
WinterVines 01-Jun-20 01:13 PM
that im not sure
i'd want it visible prob but able to cover up
so maybe like near the wrist, or around a finger or on the shoulder
Avatar
ChainReaction01 01-Jun-20 01:13 PM
that'd be cool
again, because of conservative upbringing, never had the option to have a tattoo. and I've never really felt strongly enough about anything to want a tattoo. but if I had to get one, I'd get my halo 3 player icon on my shoulder - it's the outline of a wolf inside a circle
like a wolf howling in profile
Avatar
WinterVines 01-Jun-20 01:15 PM
that'd be cool
and i had the same mindset. i didn't like something enough to want to get it on my body

ChainReaction01 01-Jun-20 01:18 PM
a little australia icon on the inside of the wrist would be cute
or shoulder, prob easier to cover that. not as easy to see yourself though
Avatar
WinterVines 01-Jun-20 01:20 PM
yeah, tahts an eventual thing. or maybe a not even thing, but i would consider it, which is different from before
so what if i get a snake bite piercing over my lip
would you still wanna kiss me
Avatar
ChainReaction01 01-Jun-20 01:25 PM
but of course. there's almost nothing you could do that would make me not want to kiss you
although in the spirit of honesty I must say that I've never loved facial piercings. but that shouldn't affect the way you want to display yourself
Avatar
WinterVines 01-Jun-20 01:26 PM
thats fair. i think i'd be too chicken to get it. but sometimes i like the aesthetic
i think i have an aversion to physical pain because of all the mental pain andi equated the two or something
Avatar
ChainReaction01 01-Jun-20 01:27 PM
entirely possible. also physical pain is supposed to be avoided, like that's its entire deal lol
do you think you'd get one of the little bauble piercings, or like a whole ring thing?

WinterVines 01-Jun-20 01:28 PM
nah like ring over the lip if i did
i dont liek the little bobbles

I think I could be won around to it as well, like that could be a bit exciting-looking. I do know that my mum and nan would hate it but that's their fuckin problem, you don't have to live by their expectations, I know I did for far too long

like, if you had been like "kids are the dealbreaker"
i would have even considered that

ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 09:05 AM
I never would have wanted that though. it would have been an ultimatum, which I will never give to you
also kids mean less time with you. unacceptable atm
I am selfish and want you all to myself!
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jun-20 09:06 AM
and i know you woudn't. i just worried cos when we were first talking, how you mentioned that one night that we wanted different things, like kids and no kids
so i was seriously reconsidering. but yeah i feel the same about spending time with just you
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 09:07 AM
yeah and see that's another thing about our first time around. I think it might have been a dealbreaker then because I was young and dumb and less flexible
now I know that happiness is where you find it, not at the end of a societal process

WinterVines 02-Jun-20 09:07 AM
you weren't dumb. you were just operating based on what you had been taught

based on this new information

ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 09:13 AM

can break down the silicone otherwise iirc
also seems a little more natural. altho i think silicone would be better esp for like butt play

that's very true. can always return to working on you while I recover. for what it's worth, my refractory remains pretty good, I got grumpy earlier in the week because I was thinking about you in the shower and had to work that out and then I washed myself and was hard again before the end of it

sometimes it works that way

unless for some dumb reason, my insurance doesn't cover it and it hella spendy
but i think the shot is only a couple hundred if need be
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 10:27 AM
if that's the case you need to let me know so I can pay for it
don't want you unprotected
but I thought the plan was like the shot plus condoms?
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jun-20 10:28 AM
my insurance will probably cover it
maybe. that was before i liked the idea of implant best
so i may just do that right away. if it means no rag sooner, wy not i guess
even less rag i would take

sinc eit is a joint venture
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 10:29 AM
absolutely
I'll be getting just as much use out of it as you will be
and I think it's probably still safer to use condoms anyway. although if you told me to go raw I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself

WinterVines 02-Jun-20 10:29 AM
i mean its good to be safe. but we'll prob run out

Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jun-20 10:30 AM
like tbh, i didn't really imagine condoms at all
but youre right in that thats prob safer. but like all of these bc have like 99% success rate cos they're also hormone based
like, they stop an egg from showing up at all, as well as make gunk so sperm can't make it there
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 10:37 AM
it's up to you I suppose love. I want to do whatever is necessary to keep you safe, including using condoms and pulling out and stuff. but if you feel safe enough with the implant and you don't want to use the other stuff then I'm, selfishly, 1000000% fine with that
also I have heard that actually finishing inside is a relatively frequent trigger for female orgasm
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jun-20 10:39 AM
yeah, me too. i suppose its the muscles moving and stuff. its also true the opposite way haha. where mine could trigger yours
i dont expect you to pull out btw
i never considered that really either
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 10:40 AM
I mean it's the red-headed stepchild of birth control. success rate is like 30% or something laughably low
I would like to not pull out. I want to be as close as possible to you when it happens

so another thing about aus is it doesn't screw you with loans! we have this thing called HECS which basically means your education loans are kept without interest and you don't have to pay any of it until you're earning over the povery line
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jun-20 12:11 PM
yeah, that wuld be amazing
which is not the case here, as you can see
they give you 6 months
but they charge you interest the entire time you have th eloan, even while youre in school
they create this huge burden on people right from the get go. and they are designed to never be able to pay off

corporations are a thing world-wide I guess. like my company makes decisions I don't agree with. but I just do not understand how loans, especially ones for education, can be so predatory in the US

does the navy really need that many aircraft carriers?

caleb won't be good for much of anything beyond "hello", ethan will be a shitlord (in a good-natured way), I'm not sure about dad - he loves travelling so he'll prob want to talk US stuff with you, and nan... will be interesting
mum's pretty much the core of the family, and she's also always been the most supportive I think

i think at the core of this all
i just think im not that impressive

other than a sexy husband to be. but they will not be impressed by that i dont think lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 01:36 PM
so it's a self confidence issue. I get that. let me counter with the fact that I love you so desperately and they will see that and that will be all they need. if they were to value materials or accomplishments over the love we share then I wouldn't want anything to do with them anyway

WinterVines 02-Jun-20 01:36 PM

you are the most exciting person I know
I want to spend every second talking with you
have never felt that way about anyone

but im sure they had something at some point
but like idk, how am i not boring lol
i dont do much
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jun-20 01:41 PM
neither do I. but here's your answer - you're a creative writer, which is seriously impressive. you might not have done much but you have done some. you have a mechanical mind as well - hell, the hobby we met through was basically competitive pokemon battling. you love animals, just like I do (and my whole family does too btw). you enjoy video games and tabletop games (again, just like we all do). you have interesting thoughts and opinions which make for fascinating discussions. and as a side note, you are not boring to look at either.beautiful eyes and gorgeous hair. oh and a delicious accent and laugh
like what about you is not exciting
I really wish you could see yourself through my eyes haha

WinterVines 02-Jun-20 01:48 PM
but you like animals and roleplay and you hang out with friends and have a respectable steady job. and youre very smart and have unique insights about stuff. and youre incredibly dependable. i know you'll never break your word sort of thing. you seek justice and always wanna do the right thing. and you have a serious aversion to hurting people. all those things are commendable
and also reliable
which is different than dependable

also how do you feel about very light teeth
like not biting but just like the feel of them (edited)

I think those are one of those things that I'd probably like very much
hard to tell without feeling
like
not on my junk
teeth and junk do not mix
but on muscular areas, I think that'd be fun
was going to ask the same thing actually, like gentle bites on shoulders and stuff

yeah probably. i think theres a thing where you have to go to the county you were born or something
but if we're gonna get married here anyway
it shouldn't matter!
cos we can do it here while we're here
since getting married in both we'll at least have to have a reception

if we get married here first we can't elope

I try to get the good razors because I have delicate skin
and I still bleed, like, every second shave

yeah, i have pretty dry skin too

just so you know, and i hope youre not bothered
but i must have a little more testosterone than normal cos sometimes i get a few hairs on my chin
that i pretty religously shave off

Avatar
ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 10:22 AM
I literally could not choose just one. there are a few super random moments that I love where my universe just felt right
like one where we were visiting someone at a farm with horses and I remember you were wearing boots and jeans and you looked like a confident young woman
and idk, in that moment, you were my partner
also I really loved grocery shopping with you
except that one time where I fucked up the payment machine
and then the times where you gently encouraged me to explore our sexuality, those are very special too, but prob not my favourites if I'm being honest
oh I really enjoyed seeing guardians of the galaxy with you
the snowy hot tub was amazing too
idk I can't pick just one!
what's the one you were thinking of?

WinterVines 03-Jun-20 10:25 AM

the grocery shopping one

ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 10:26 AM
yeah I did love that. I honestly don't 100% recall who it was
but we stopped off at like a farm somewhere
and I'm pretty sure you knew who they were
maybe when we went to see your grandma?
and I wasn't dying lol

ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 11:46 AM
this woman who keeps sniping at her
like undermining her and stuff
and mum finally snapped
which wasn't pretty, but she apologised and went to a psychiatrist to sort some stuff out
and nan's response was "pffft that's weakness"
like, not a healthy response at all
but that's learned behaviour for her I guess
Avatar
WinterVines 03-Jun-20 11:47 AM
no, not at all. it takes some guts to go to a shrink
altho im not sure if its necessary to go to the psychiatrist unless shes looking for ways to deal with the undremining. cos the other lady is in the wrong
Avatar
ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 11:49 AM
yeah it's basically wanting help. because mum's not 100% in the right to be fair
and the shrink pretty much immediately told mum that she's too focused on determining blame
so she's got stuff to work on for sure
but the point of that story I guess is that we all have some level of family trauma. and it takes a lot of mental effort and strength to shake off the stuff you've learned and choose to go a different direction
Avatar
WinterVines 03-Jun-20 11:52 AM
yeah, it really does
its good that she's strong enough to go there
i want to be
a zen person. a just person. but also a sometimes funny and sarcastic and pleasant person
thats like my idealized self i think
and also not afraid to like and show excitement for the things that i like. cos ive lacked that too
Avatar
ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 12:01 PM
it's good that you have aspirations, and a particular direction you want to go. I think one of my major faults (because we all have them) is that I don't have any personal aspirations. I don't know what I want to be, or really what improvements I need to make. minor ones sure, like properly understanding sexual interest isn't sinful, but idk about larger-scale stuff. I don't really like being introspective I guess because I don't really like who I am

I don't dislike myself or anything

ChainReaction01 03-Jun-20 01:18 PM
ah it has its positives. like I'm invaluable so I have more pull. might be able to negotiate to do some work from vacation kinda stuff
like, when I come to visit, nut out some deal where I still do 20 hours of work over that period
so I can do that while you're at work or something

that would be a good bargaining chip
also you would still get pay!

it's an interesting idea, I guess I'm kinda having trouble combining the ideas of sex and sleep in my mind, like they're polar opposite activities lol

they love each other and work well together and that's enough

ikr!!!
like if it weren't for corona I could be there right now
we had our talk like two weeks ago, that's prob enough time for me to confirm leave
but then it would be a shorter visit I guess

WinterVines 04-Jun-20 11:47 AM
true
and i want to keep you as long as i can
Avatar
ChainReaction01 04-Jun-20 11:48 AM
see even if we take a stab at september, I'll have 34 days leave. that means I can spend six weeks there would which would be awesome
and then my leave time would recover for when you come down next year or whenever, I wouldn't need as long for that anyway

WinterVines 04-Jun-20 11:49 AM
yeah, esp if you can negotiate time like you were talking about, working from home a couple days
Avatar
ChainReaction01 04-Jun-20 11:52 AM
I would really like that. I don't know if they'll go for it because I won't be available to respond within a couple hours (which is our KPI) but I'm hoping I can sell some situation where they directly forward me stuff that's hyper-technical which then I agree to address within, say, 72 hours. even if I only get half-time or something I'd be fine with that

WinterVines 04-Jun-20 11:52 AM

WinterVines 04-Jun-20 11:52 AM
thats also true! i mean you could save a little bit of your time anyway depending on when it refreshes
Avatar
ChainReaction01 04-Jun-20 11:53 AM
our leave doesn't really "refresh", I guess? the way it works is for each day you work you get so many "hours" (like 0.1 or whatever) which you can then cash in whenever you'd like. there's no time you have to use it by

obviously its not good to take money out of a 401k cos you get taxed to hell and then dont have a retirement

I always want to talk to you, please don't retreat
I just thought maybe this is one of those "don't fix it, just listen" things
Avatar
WinterVines 05-Jun-20 09:29 AM
i mean, idk if theres really anything to fix
i think whats happening
is that i took the tone from yoru bad night and your kind of lack of enthusiasm and it clashed against my good mood
but i absorb emotions. and then it bled itno how i feel about myself. and like not being excited to see me really, cos busy or other plans or whatever. and then that spirals me into how i do not deserve this at all anyway, and maybe you really would be better off with someone requirng less maintenance and work
and it just kinda goes in circles at that point, i think
and that doesn't mean i dont wanna hear about the bad stuff
cos thats censoring and shit. but i think i just extrapolated that bad night into extras
i feel liek an outsider
to everything
and i think my mind also took off with it cos you seemed excited to talk to the others. and i mean thats limits of the technology with tone and stuff, i know
like my brain knows that
but the feels dont always follow what they are supposed to
i didn't say it made sense
just that i had a theory
and i had to sit for a few minute sto really dig at it to figure out even a hint of what it was
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Jun-20 09:35 AM
okay, I understand. and I appreciate that you have shared your feelings with me, that's the mark of a strong relationship.but I want to say a few things, I am always excited to see you, chat with you, speak with you. you deserve everything I have to give and more. and I absolutely will not be "better off" with anyone else. my feelings for you are stronger than anything else I have ever felt before and if it seems like I was more excited to see the others I can assure you that was unintended
feelings can't be controlled
I know that
but I want you to know that you are the most important thing in my life bar none
I don't care about a lunch order going wrong or anything like that
as soon as I started chatting with you, I felt better
I smiled when you told me about your tips
and I am so excited to talk again tomorrow

i have abandonment issues if you haven't noticed
all the important people in my life have either abadnoned me or only paid attention when it was convenient
like a year or so ago, i brought up how i always felt at the bottom of the totem pole growing up in dads house because i had to compete with the other two kids who soaked up all the everything. and dad and sue were both totally blown away like they couldn't even fathom why iwould feel liek that
i feel like nobody has ever really wanted me for me in my entire life
charlotte only did because it made her look good
and when things got hard in my other relationships they just got mad at me and itwas my fault
liek during the divorce
for a long time i didn't even want me

Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Jun-20 11:31 AM
ooooh that's a fun thought
I've always kinda thought that I would be a druid. cos I feel like out of all my stats, I prob have high WIS. certainly not DEX haha. also kinda fits with my love for animals
for you, I kinda like bard. it's obviously the most creative class, and you don't even have to be a musical bard, you can use like oratory skills to tell stories and get the same effect
I'm also a big believer that almost anyone can be a rogue, mechanically speaking, you just downplay the whole "shifty" angle and instead focus on the fact that they have the most skillpoints (so therefore they're incredibly smart)
race I dunno, that's tricky. I almost definitely have orc/ogre blood because I'm huge xD
what do you think?
Avatar
WinterVines 05-Jun-20 11:35 AM
i was thinking about that. like me myself im split between bard/druid/ranger
cos i shot bow and like nature and stuff
but bard fits creatively. im just not very outgoing
for you i think i just get your league and dota roles mixed into it
and once faith was pretty important to you
but you were always a support so i imagined you know a big dude with armor
but smiting fools
also i think most travelers are kinda like rouges
cos they wear hoods, cover faces sometimes, and dont really wanna be noticed
but youre right that you do like animals

i had fun thinking about it earlier today, despite how the day ended up
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Jun-20 11:52 AM
it's a fun question. that combo also covers our bases nicely, like a bit of divine magic, bit of arcane. tank, social expert, ranged damage (because bards can be really good with bows)
I did actually have a question too, although mine is way less fun
what's your favourite meal?
like lunch, dinner, etc
Avatar
WinterVines 05-Jun-20 11:53 AM
hmm
lunch ithink
cos everything is acceptable at that time
early lunch is brunch. late lunch could be dinner

ooooh that's a good answer, unexpected too

WinterVines 05-Jun-20 11:54 AM
this list has some weird questions
what is your favorite ice cream topping
also i wanna know what your fav meal is
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Jun-20 11:55 AM
ice cream topping? that is weird, I don't usually have toppings. if I had to choose, prob like a chocolate covering I guess. my fav meal is weird, because it's breakfast, and I don't usually have much breakfast. but I do love a good breakfast with stuff like toast, baked beans, hash browns, pancakes, etc
do you do ice cream tppings?
Avatar
WinterVines 05-Jun-20 11:57 AM
youre a baked bean person at breakfast too? pv was going on and on about that one day. hes from UK
i mean i dont eat ice cream a lot
but i wouldn't mind things on it

I don't usually eat baked beans at breakfast no
but I like the option

i do like a lot of breakfast foods
when imf eeling lazy i eat cereal for dinner
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Jun-20 11:57 AM
oh I take back my answer, I love chopped nuts on icecream
very rare treat so I didn't think of it
yeah I think it's probably more correct to say I love brunch
cos to me, breakfast is a small bowl of cereal
kinda

but when the divorce was going on
which was like starting in my 6th grade i think
so right befroe starting high school (middle for most, but my school was a K-12) i had to start getting my own
and that persisted throughout
i also had to do my own laundry then too
i figure it was a form of retribution for the custody battle

6 was the year (or right before i turned it) that we moved into dads house
cos my grandma moved to oregon
cos my 5th bday was at the house on the lake. we had a video tape of that and thats the only reason i remember that brithday
6 i got a super nintendo XD
and that was when grandma was still alive
the horses were in the barn
they hadn't gotten divorced yet
the dog used to pull me in a sled in teh snow and climb snow piles with me
i still thought of that house as home and didn't feel like an outsider
i wasn't scared to live there
tere was no custody battle
where i can still smell saddle soap and leather and lilacs

a window open, as long as that let enough cool air in
if A/C is required, then fair enough, but my first reaction is to open windows. less power drain and kinder to the environment
also A/C can be noisy. not that it stops me from sleeping lol

okay so for the record I was incredibly wrong, I only barely made it into the shower, and I had to go twice before I could get out. definitely could have done three if I had the spare time
it was also a pleasant surprise to see that Peter has started going to work again, so he was out of the house and I could make a bit of noise. it was real growly bite-the-washcloth kinda shit

so was that delightfully filthy enough for you?

honestly it was like a bolt of lightning
the thought that you were touching yourself while we were talking, and then we were in the shower at the same time, couldn't really handle it

Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 09:40 AM
no it wasn't
I had no idea
low-key, I think that's a pretty major turn-on for me
like if we were just chilling on the couch under a blanket or whatever and then you told me you've been touching yourself for five minutes, like that's a one-way ticket to needing a new couch

a great step towards future things
we've both kinda been quiet about it now, building confidence
you're also really good at dirty talk, or what I would call dirty talk. I need to get better at that
but maybe with Pete leaving the house earlier now I can be more comfortable

WinterVines 09-Jun-20 09:51 AM
that plays a lot into it tbh
i was a little louder this time too
still dont think i went all the way there tho. it may be a physical thing after all, like for the equipment. since you were there for me mentally
then again it could still be a block too, or needing you in person for that connection

ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 09:52 AM
I think in person has a lot to do with it

I suppose when you put it that way, it's not really is it
hmmm idk
see towels are fun cos they're so easy to unwrap
but shirt is fun too for a variety of reasons
it hides stuff but I can reach under it
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:06 AM
indeed
altho you may be able to reach stuff with a towel too
cos theyre short
not sure how short the shirt comes
ill have to go put it on and see XD

ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:07 AM
hahaha I'm game
for all of it. yum
idk towel might be winning me over tbh. moist skin, damp hair
and I mean both ways you can sit on my face so that's gravy

WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:08 AM
i was just thinking about that haha
you keep this up and i may ahve to touch myself when i go to bed too
i was gonna last night but was so dang tired i couldn't think straight
so was looking for an opportunity to today

ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:12 AM
oh no, how awful, I can turn my wife-to-be on just like she can do to me, what a tragedy ;p
for reals though, that's something I think about a lot while touching myself. I really want to learn to be good at it
and I get to be right inbetween your thighs, and you can grip my hair if I do it right

it gives me chills just thinking about it haha

excellent! I want you to feel the same way I do
also, circling back slightly, I'll tell you something else
I can't always control myself towards the end either
but I do know towards the end of my shower I was muttering something about putting a baby inside you. which felt pretty hot to say
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:21 AM
ye, it is pretty hot tbh
its like, intent i think
that triggers it
and i think most people lose a little control near the end if theyre really into it XD
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:22 AM
you're probably right haha
and I think it's okay to say things in the heat of the moment
how else do you explore and find out what each other like? worst case, you just say that it didn't work for you and we know that going forward

I abhor the idea of being violent or physical. but in play, it might be okay
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:24 AM
its like fake violence
more like controlled force
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:27 AM
controlled force is a good definition. as an example, I never liked the idea of spanking, it always seemed violent and derogatory. but maybe with practice and experience it might be okay. I can kinda understand intellectually how a sudden shock might be thrilling in certain circumstances
but that's probably stuff I might need to work on a little bit
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:29 AM
yeah, tahts fair. and its not like we barrel nto it with no plan
but like, the idea of like, you holding both my arms above me with a hand and restraining me lightly--thats p hot
or like, when im bent over something, a firm grip on my hair. or even arms behind my back if im like leaning over the mattress or something
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:33 AM
yes these are all things I would like too
I think "control" is a good word for it
when you're feeling safe

you can make me come running sure
but I think I can assert power from there. things like rubbing myself at your entrance but not actually going in

you don't think?
exchanging oral seems fairly vanilla to me

WinterVines 09-Jun-20 11:52 AM
probably not
maybe exchanging, but the method is whats important for vanilla vs non
and like taking from behind is not vanilla
esp like bent over something

ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 11:53 AM
that's a very good point
can be different based on the context and method, I didn't think of that
haha maybe I'm not boring!!! that's an exciting thought

ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 12:06 PM
yeah that's understandable. sometimes it's a physical need that's a pain in the butt to have to resolve
that's why quickies exist!

esp cos its just been hard for me in general
and yeah im down for a quickie too haha
theyre just more challenging
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jun-20 12:08 PM
I honestly think you're making progress though. like obviously it's hard for me to say that from where I am but based on what you've told me you're probably getting close
and I mean it's hard for me to get there without you involved. I kinda wanted to touch last night and started trying but it just didn't lead anywhere
I'm willing to bet you'll be more responsive when I'm there in person
like, imagine sitting on my dick while I knead your breasts and kiss your neck ;3

WinterVines 09-Jun-20 12:14 PM

and i think thats how we're gonna be able to tell if i finish or not--if you can feel me clneching on you

I will find out all of the details, I promise. they charge per hour and the questions is basically how much do we want them to do
so we can pay just an hour to get an overview of the required steps
or we can go back whenever we feel necessary
or they can take over completely
I'll get estimates etc. I promise not to blow all of our resources early

is there anything practical for D7D that he could use?
something he uses often, liek a dice vault or a journal for notes or something like tha?

nah he runs his campaigns 95% digitally at this point. also he hasn't DMed in like six months at this point which is a minor sore spot anyway
it'll be fine, I'll grab some cheap card game that we'll get a few laughs out of. or maybe a cool figurine for him to paint if I can find one that's thematic

Hello James, Thank you for your email, and good to talk to you just now. As I mentioned, a preliminary hour of our time is a good idea, so that I can talk you through the partner visa process, and the best and most efficient ways of proceeding with a partner visa. A preliminary hour of our time is $350 plus GST. In terms of our overall rates for assistance with a partner visa, we find our overall fees can be between approximately $4,000 and $6,000 plus GST. The difference in our fees really does come down to how organised you are. Some couples find it harder to obtain all their documents and get them to us, other couples are extremely organised. So it is in your best interests to be organised, as that keeps our fees lower for you. Let me know when is a good time to come in for a preliminary discussion, and whether we need to work around Kristy’s work schedule so that she can be present in some way. I look forward to meeting you in person, and I hope Kristy is staying safe where she is right now. Regards, Catherine Follett Director / Registered Migration Agent Number: 1569380

I'm guessing it's more along the line of not knowing where you're going career-wise, that seemed to be the focus of the discussion towards the end. this isn't one I can help much with I'm afraid, because while I don't love my job I'm probably prepared to sit in it for as long as I need to.

WinterVines 11-Jun-20 10:44 AM
/shrugs. its deeper than that i think. i think i basically boiled it down to being the equivalent of a whore in a brothel as my best analogy. maybe a really nice brothel and very cared for, but its pretty similar i suppose. having little other use. but its fine. i didn't want to jump off a bridge today. but i was so scathing angry for a long time that i get why people hurt themselves really. needing an outlet. idk. its fine

ChainReaction01 11-Jun-20 10:51 AM
huge assumption there, that you won't be providing any value, which I don't believe to be the case. I've never wanted you as a kept woman or as a whore, only as a full partner. you're obviously not fine atm but there's not much I can do it about, just know that I love you very much and that's not changing
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Jun-20 10:56 AM
i know YOU dont want me that way. i just fail to see what kind of value im realy contributing. like the emotional stuff is nice but people cant survive on hopes and dreams only. and it just looks super bad i guess. like, if it was the other way around, esp cos you like being a provder, how woul dthat make you feel? probably not great. oh hey, what does your wife do? lol nothing. it would be different if i was planning to be a stay at home mom or something but thats obviouly not teh case
idk, if i was just not such a dumb failure i wouldve maybe figured a few things out. the only thing that echoed in my head all damn day is that you deserve way better than me. i am so beyond frustrated with myself. but its fine. ill, idk, play ac and go to bed. or something
can't for the life of me figure out WHY you even want me lol

ChainReaction01 11-Jun-20 10:59 AM
that's all utter nonsense. you have skills and you can put them to use. you've done ghostwriting and have blog plans and etc. you could find work in a field down here, like in my company or something
I want you because you fit me. we have similar interests, passions, opinions. you understand me and comfort me and make me want to be a better person
I'm not interested in fighting you about this, you told me that I might need to be firm and I'm doing that right now. I love you, that's not changing, no self-sabotage allowed

Not by carrying you, but by empowering you and ensuring you have the safety and security you need. Unfortunately your experiences and trauma have instilled an awful voice in the back of your mind that tells you bitter lies and I can't fight it. What I can do is be your team-mate and cheer you on from the sidelines. It might take time but you will beat this and I'll be here for you every step of the way.

WinterVines 11-Jun-20 09:40 PM
i thnk im just at a dangerous place mentally. the problem is that i've only ever been able to self soothe. ive never had anyone to talk to about anything, or vent or rant or just hash it out and figure it out. im the sort who analyzes stuff after ive said/felt/whatever it so that part is important. and maybe why a lot fo my learning or growth or whatever teh fuck has been so delayed orway after most people. so at the prospect of you, of not being alone for once, my brain was very hype about being able to share instead of just keeping it internal like ive done for twenty years and maybe seeking that reassurance/evidence/solution to problem i cant see. and while i dont expect attention every time, cos that's unrealistic and also, by 30 fuckin years oldi should have a fewthings sorted out anyway, i think hearing that "i can't help you" part just shut me down. because i read it as a dismissal since its the same thing every other person in my life has said. same with the if you need to leave for the night thing. like, me being alone wih my thoughts is a bad thing. thats what creates all this in the first place is being too alone with my thoughts without a sounding board or another point of view. and i think while you did say those things i said was untrue, i just didn't see the evidence behind it and was focused more on that dismissal i guess. like, sure, on the side, and thats great. but i dont fight this very wel myself. i just get crippled with despair because i can't see a solution or feel extremely violent like last night with no outlet. idk. and i dont need your constant attention. cos youve got more important things going on with the bulk of your day. but i think thats what my mind was seeking. like, was teased of not being alone but in actuality was being there mentally alone and then just left wondering why i even brought up anything at all. so ill do better about that, since i dont wanna worry you or distract you or whatever. but idk how to solve it myself.

I'm sorry if I got it wrong, I thought I saw you going into a downward spiral and I remembered that you said I might need to be firm on occasion - thing is, I'm not really sure what that looks like. I'm used to being more passive, and being firm in the right way is something I think I need practice in. For the record, I never intended to shut you down, I would vastly prefer to discuss and analyse the way you're feeling because I think honest communication is the best way to dissect and work towards resolving these issues. I'm very sorry that you felt alone because I do not want that. I never want you to feel that way again. I will never ever dismiss your problems or your feelings.

rough patches happen. and I can't promise that I can pay 100% attention to you all the time because yeah, that's unrealistic. what I can promise you though is that I'll be there for you whenever I can be. and further, I want to do that. I want to be there with you, talk with you about what you're feeling, brainstorm possible paths to follow, all of it
it makes me so angry that you don't have more of a support network. you really should. you're a good person. I think the trauma you've been through has, among other things, taught you to put others first way more than is healthy

WinterVines 11-Jun-20 09:59 PM
yeah, ive had that thought before
like how moms do, except no children
became a people pleaser
cos like, gotta make up for all the bad things ive done right?
the divorce/custody battle made me entirely selfish
and i upset the family balance and was unwanted in dads family
broke my friendship with ronni
so im paying back that debt i think, internally
or at least leaving them justified every time they dismiss or ignore or insult me
cos thats my just desserts
thats what i deserve in my mind
for being such a shitty child

subconsciously i think im trying to undo being a disappointment in their eyes
and its gotten a little better with my parents cos i stopped caring what they think after the running thing

i also think that its tied into the house
because i dont know how that's going to work for sure
because i had to have like the same job for at least 2 years to even apply
my first inquiry about buying went horribly
and the bank made me feel so inadequate and small
so the next time when i went to talk to a diff lender was a lot different
but i think i eqate suddenly quitting my job with like lsoing the house and everything else too. which is silly because i want to quit the job
but i think the house gives me anxiety
and then i also worry aobut the house meaning we can't do the elope thing
and then i just go into a spiral about bad decisions lol it just always loops back around

because i want o be a good wife
Avatar
ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 09:32 AM
well that's something we'll expunge. might take time and effort but that's okay. I can categorically state that being with you is what's best for me. If you're looking for evidence of that, I can tell you that my time apart from you was not great. And my mental state would definitely worsen if I knew you were in a dark place and I wasn't positioned to help
as for good wife, I'm sure you will be. you shouldn't base your definition of "good wife" off of what society and other people tells you. I have a wife-to-be who shares my interests and passions and wants to work on projects with me. that is utterly invaluable. if I wanted some brain-dead footy chick with a masters in business and a career and personality to match I could probably find one with about three weeks' work, and I would then be miserable.

lol I feel the same way about making you unhappy. for what it's worth, you haven't done it at any point in time so far. I know because if I was unhappy I'd be skipping exercise and eating comfort food. well I can tell you I'm still having no troubles with exercise motivation and the packet of doritos in my top cupboard is gathering dust sooo

Avatar
ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 10:58 AM
I haven't tried, no, because I'm a brick of a dude. and there's kind of a stigma that guys go to yoga to pick up on chicks. I'd be interested to learn though, I'm really flexible, I can touch my knuckles to the ground without bending my legs (like just swivelling at the hips)

but what do you think of... naked yoga

ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 11:00 AM
haha that's a fun thought! it'd depend on the poses though I think. like if I'm hard there's not much blood to spare, and I really wouldn't want certain nearby muscles being stretched. and what if we have to call the workout off?

ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 11:16 AM
see I can apply the same thing to my junk. it looks awful down there, stark and demanding and insolent. but for some reason it kinda seems like you want it inside you sometimes which absolutely blows my mind but I'm not complaining. also I would like to think that you wouldn't feel the need to wear bras around the house just for me anyway, the hottest possible thing is that you would feel comfortable around me. and I imagine it's more fun to sneak-squeeze bra-less boobs anyway!
hmm, a guess? let's go with... $3

ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 11:29 AM
sure, you should be able to use it for anything that's necessary! um, hardwiring it might work, it depends on whether your router treats wired and wireless as separate networks. it's worth a shot if it's not too hard to do so

WinterVines 12-Jun-20 11:30 AM

very much the same on my end. and that's where I'm going to have my share of issues, because I've been raised to believe that all sexual activity is sinful, doubly so for out of wedlock
I know that's not the case intellectually, but it's still something I struggle with emotionally
its why I have such trouble talking dirty over voice
Avatar
WinterVines 12-Jun-20 12:04 PM
its also pretty awkward, lets be honest. the computer is not the most attractive thing esp when sitting by yourself

what if we have this big discussion

and it won't bother me because I know it won't
and then it comes to the part where you need physical validation
and my own issues prevent me from performing
what then
Avatar
WinterVines 12-Jun-20 12:20 PM
then we just take it slow. it doesn't have to be immediate
really i won't need the physical validation i dont think. i more need the mental reassurance

but theres no pressure for that

ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 12:22 PM
okay. if you're sure. I really want to have this conversation in person and then be there for you in whatever way you need me to be. I'm just really scared that I won't be good enough

I agree with you there, violence to get outcomes is not acceptable. and I mean I'm all for the cause, and even for peaceful protests. just maybe not when there's a once-in-a-century plague bringing the country to its knees
here's an idea, instead of clogging the streets, stay home and learn enough basic programming to make twitter bots to spam members of congress with demands for better conditions
or even just set up facebook groups or something. idk, the internet is just as powerful as real life these days, figure out a way to protest using that

is that going to be okay?

honestly idk what payroll is gonna look like. next weeks' schedule still isn't up @_@

WinterVines 12-Jun-20 12:59 PM
pre corona we were open 9 to 9
which meant 8 to 10 staffing time
most of my shifts were either 8 to 430 or 130 to 10
but idk what it'll look like when we do that again.
give like half an hour after closing generally for when i get back to the house

ChainReaction01 12-Jun-20 01:02 PM
right, I see. and even if I schedule it appropriately you'll probably be mentally drained from work. it's fine, I'll just schedule it and if you're there great, if you're not then I'll record it
Avatar
WinterVines 12-Jun-20 01:02 PM
i mean its the same as if i was coming home now. im not worried about that
its just if i dont have an open shift i will miss it
cos i could also have a mid
like a 10 to 630 or 11 to 730
or even the icky 12 to 830
that'll be rare on a weekday tho

his theory is that he wants someone strong there during the day
to possibly undo bad things missed the night before etc
whereas wendy was like, oh its the harder shift, you hsould do it so its done right. instead of training people to do it right
that woudl work only if i closed or had off

oh that's interesting, an analogy of sorts. just remember our conversation though, I don't want you feeling that way about yourself. my night was pretty good, it was good to hang out with Mike, we smashed in League (crayons lol) and then I did some laundry and shaved. I got a really good night's sleep but I have a headache this morning ;-;

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 09:17 AM
nah it has a good ending i think. i haven't gotten that far yet. but it was just a way to do something with the feelings instead of keeping them bottled up
aw, sinus thing?
or lack of water maybe?
you need to make sure to take care of that! headaches are teh worst
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 09:18 AM
I don't think it's a sinus thing, the pain is coming from like the top/back/crown part of the head. could be lack of water, I didn't drink as much as I should have yesterday. trying to rectify that now but I forgot to take my bottle out of the freezer so now I have a bottle-shaped ice cube lol

I do greatly anticipate lessening those concerns of yours
and once they're out of the way, we can work on financial growth together. because I'm 100% sure you have the drive and intelligence to be a great investor, you're just shackled to a predatory system atm

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:11 PM
that could be true. and yeah, big debt is a huge burden mentally
and i have been looking into basic investing and saving lately so i could have some useful info by the time i can do so

ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:13 PM
I have noticed that. you read books and organise your debts and have discussed them a bit with me. it's like you said, a couple steps from awesome. I so badly want to help you with those steps. and then just sit back and watch your brilliance

what do you think you'll prefer; sitting opposite each other or alongside?

ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:35 PM

cuddling while playing games or whatever

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:37 PM
yeah, it really is. i need it so badly
also i had a theory today
of why ive been so thirsty
based on other body things
that maybe im ovulating rn. if i get the rag in 14 days it means im right

ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:39 PM
oh really? that's an interesting thought, could be possible

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:39 PM
i like to try and pay attention to my body these days
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:39 PM
yeah that's a good thing
makes more sense than my thought, which was you're subconsciously feeling more secure
which could be possible but ovulating makes way more sense XD
Avatar
WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:41 PM
i mean its probably both things tbh
cos you do make me feel safer
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:41 PM
perhaps. can't wait to provide that security in person
also is it weird to be a little bit excited about the thought that you might be ovulating? seems weird cos we don't want kids

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:44 PM
i dont think so
its sort of like thinking that kind of dirty talk is hot
it just is!

WinterVines 15-Jun-20 12:49 PM
thats true. and i mean obviously we're gonna start slow, but we dont have to forget about that sort fo stuff

ChainReaction01 15-Jun-20 12:55 PM
haha yes! I have a random thought, when I come visit, whenever you're not working, I would like to make sure there's not an hour where we're not in contact. holding hands, a quick hip bump, peck on the cheek, etc. we should be as close as possible while we can
it will tide me over until I can kidnap you

lords of old sometimes had house mottos, like sayings they supposedly identified with. "gracious in victory", "from the sea to the stars", etc

it was okay, did my exercise while watching a movie. sat down to do project stuff when some acquaintances asked me to help them teach a destiny 2 raid so I was like "sure, this'll take an hour and a half at most". was there for three hours before I had to bail :/
you'd think a concept as simple as "shoot the turrets when they come online" wouldn't be too hard to grasp

it was okay though, I took the time to work on some weapon quests while helping them. get 1k kills with this particular gun, etc

also like you mentioned because of the price involved you really don't want to make any mistakes. it's like how at work when I do back-end database edits, I usually have someone watching me, just for the second set of eyes

no, I mean that we'll figure out what the best option is and then go from there
we can take side-hustle money or whatever and invest it back into creativity

but at least it makes the choice easy
i have paralyzing choice sometimes
Avatar
ChainReaction01 16-Jun-20 12:59 PM
yeah I get that fairly often too. one of the self-developments I'm proud of is that I set up a weekly routine which is comfortable and helps me to meal plan and food shop and stuff. avoids a lot of choice issues except on the weekends when I run low and want food that's bad for me anyway XD
seems a bit weird to be proud of that but idk it was something I did in a low point and I stuck to it
Avatar
WinterVines 16-Jun-20 01:02 PM
i think its somehing to be proud of!
people like routine
altho ill be disrupting thata little
Avatar
ChainReaction01 16-Jun-20 01:03 PM
haha I look forward to the disruption! routine is good but you do also need adventure and change. routines turn into ruts if you're not careful
that's definitely what I was in at the start of the year. wake up, go to work, come home, do half an hour of half-arsed exercise, eat food, burn a couple hours on videogames, go to sleep, repeat

WinterVines 16-Jun-20 01:04 PM

ChainReaction01 16-Jun-20 01:22 PM
oh for sure, a good keyboard is literally worth its weight in gold
I'd recommend checking those out in-store, nothing worse than buying a piece of tech online and then finding it's uncomfortable. I always get try new mice and keyboards out in jb hifi or something before buying

it's a cute story actually
in short
she was the same class as cam but a way higher power level but she got stuck in a fight that you just couldn't solo. so she put out a call for help through the guild and cam rocked up and even though she could have whooped his butt in pvp he opened up with "did someone call for a real ranger?"
and then they finished the battle off together

I'd like to show you my surface, I think that's kinda what you're looking for tbh. either than or an ipad. cos I don't think you want something that's literally just for drawing/writing, and that's what all the fancy ones like cintiq and wacom and remarkable are for - they can't act like laptops, they're specialised drawing/document devices

the notarized part may not be accurate
but it says that outside people can fill it out, but it basically doesn't count for anything under AUS law
on the actual document itself

ChainReaction01 17-Jun-20 01:34 PM
it's all just evidence gathering, I'm willing to bet they put that there so it's not like a "legal" form. but worst case if it's not the form we need, we'll get the one that we do, I know mel will have records and the right form to use
mel found it

WinterVines 17-Jun-20 01:37 PM
this looks like the form for searching for ta odcument
not making that document itself
this seems closer to the apostille needed for teh foreign country but not the original doc

I'm not going to have you berating yourself for not being able to navigate a bureaucracy with two hours' worth of research.

so I keep finding the same line which says "If you need a "Statement of No Marriage" or a marriage license application, contact the local registrar in the county where you live." it'll probably have to be something you go and get from a clerk office or something then, not online, which would explain why we can't find it. http://192.185.96.33/divorce_all_states.htm http://www.apeoplesearch.us/free-people-search-info-minnesota.htm http://str82u.com/minnesota_free_people_search.htm

so I've just spent an hour in chat with cam and mel and they said that a lot of these documents and shit are required for the fiance visa, not the eloping method. for eloping you come here, we get the marriage license, and then done - it's all marriagey stuff from here. they also said that the lawyer was absolutely helpful in finding everything they needed, but only after they were put on retainer. after that they answered any questions at any time. so my vote is that we put money down with them and then start funneling everything through them (edited)

burnout is a thing everywhere I guess. I had it chronic just before corona but the work-from-home month I did was surprisingly refreshing

yeah it's interesting how at the moment companies are so focused on employee health but they don't usually think to cover mental health as well
Avatar
WinterVines 19-Jun-20 10:14 AM
and honestly, they usually dont give a shit about physical health either
but they face a lawsuit atm if they don't. thats prob th eonly reason my company is paying attnetion anyway. to cover their butts

I miss you terribly. my subconscious is very strongly of the opinion that any time you're available is time I should be left alone to be with you. not the way the universe works though I guess. but that's okay, this is only for a week and then it'll chill again

oh and today i was thinking about what being a freelancer would look like
and i like had an almost vision of sort of daily work, like imaginging if i was working at a computer for someone and then pausing to scribble a note on a tablet beside me as if it was a notebook
cos it didn't sink in til today that you used to do a lot of contract work, which is temp part time, which is great for not being tied down

ChainReaction01 22-Jun-20 08:56 AM
yeah that's true, you could find something that is like 25 hours a week or whatever, which leaves you with time for creative side-hustles, I wouldn't think that would be too hard
and like you said, something that's computer-based like ghostwriting or formatting or even like data entry would be great

kassidy said that she could look out for the house too when im gone

oh that's awesome! we def need to save up a visit for kassidy and her husband. and yeah I'm not against renting out a storage locker, it's the first solution that comes to mind (and it doesn't involve favours from your dad or sue) but if they're happy to store some things then that's probably easier/cheaper

WinterVines 22-Jun-20 09:18 AM

Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-Jun-20 11:00 AM
yeah that's perfectly understandable. it's a bit rough but I think we basically just have to wait for your passport. once that comes back we go back to the lawyer and start bombarding them with specifics so that we can hammer out a plan including timeline. and then we'll know what we have to do with the stuff you need to manage
Avatar
WinterVines 22-Jun-20 11:01 AM
yeah
its just unfortunate that i have to wait to move on teh house stuff til after marriage. if we do that visa. but that seems the quickest and easiest and does the bridge visa. that part is a must
i have to have the visa that lets me stay and work and all that there in AUS
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-Jun-20 11:03 AM
yes, we'll make sure we get that one. I think you get that if we go via the marriage visa instead of the travel visa but that one means we can't live together while they're evaluating it. then again if travel doesn't open up for like 6-12 months anyway maybe that is acceptable alternative, idk
Avatar
WinterVines 22-Jun-20 11:05 AM
the problme is that we dont know when the travel will open up either. yeah im not sure. but youre right, passport has to come first

the neighbor we had in michigan who went south for the winter had his kids check up on it
and he had auto lights come on at certain time of night to pretend someone was home

ChainReaction01 22-Jun-20 11:12 AM
yeah idk what to do with that cos, like you said, pipes freeze and stuff. not a problem here. but we can sort out auto lights and stuff when I come visit if you'd like, ikea would have that kind of stuff. and maybe your dad or wayne would know the right thing to do with utilities?

I think that's a really good idea, I might be able to help with some of it. probably not much but I can try to Google stuff where possible, and I can look into like shipping costs and extra luggage costs and stuff
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Jun-20 09:10 AM
yeah, we'll definitely need to know that. or like how much to ship X weight thing
cos we'll prob have to ship some things, and that will likely be easier than extra suitcases
fewer things for the airlines to lose XD

that's very true >_> it's never happened to me but it happened to my parents once
they got the luggage back though so that's something

but youre right, i could have used a sorting list
this one can be used as a checklist if its printed out tho

ChainReaction01 23-Jun-20 09:46 AM
either is good. I like to brainstorm and write document lists first, then copy into a spreadsheet when it's more solid
just so you can sort by things like room, estimated cost, etc
but very important to use a basic document first, because brainstorming in a spreadsheet is bloody awful

WinterVines 23-Jun-20 09:47 AM

i like this checklist style

ChainReaction01 23-Jun-20 09:56 AM
for sure, I'm just thinking that if the counters are dark towards the bottom then it's easier to keep that part clean. like how white cars get messy easier

like i realize, youre supposed to save too
but like, make your money work for you/earn more money. i wanna be able ot use that
not just wait til im too old to do anything with it

ChainReaction01 23-Jun-20 10:07 AM
yeah exactly. I think you'd be really good with a micro-investing app, it's what arwyn and ariel are into. it's basically kinda just like a bank account, except the app automatically makes tiny little investments for you so it rises/falls way faster than just a savings account. but it's my understading you can still pull money out of it at pretty much any tie

Investing with the Spaceship Voyager investment app is free under $5000, there is no minimum investment, zero brokerage, no buy-sell spreads, and no entry or exit fees. Choose between two managed funds Spaceship Index and Spaceship Universe.

I feel like every animal on early is ugly when they're just born. but kittens progress to cute fairly quickly. birds go through an intermediate stage of "spiky mess" while their first coat of feathers are coming in

I suppose you probably do need somehting a bit stronger for photoshop. and yeah it's basically just a tablet, but we'd probably get you one of those keyboards, they kinda fold up and turn into a tablet cover
or we coud get an actual laptop version, I do prefer those. more spendy tho

i just want something that is attuned to what i need so ill enjoy using it. and also use it more
the actual laptop verion would be heavier too

there doesn't feel like any time to explore

it's the hierarchy of needs again, you're worried about base needs which isn't giving your creativity room to flourish

I don't want that from you at all. I want you to follow your passions. and I'm confident that you'll make a go of it. sure you might not be a super rich author or whatever but I know that you'll be happier doing creative work than if you do something soul-less like I do. and what I want most for you is your happiness. we'll be fine money-wise, don't worry about that

WinterVines 23-Jun-20 01:26 PM
if you say so. i still worry about that. i may alsways since thats how i grew up

ChainReaction01 23-Jun-20 01:28 PM
I understand. and I'm not saying "don't worry" because I have money, I'm saying it because I don't need a super ritzy lifestyle. I'm confident we could live a happy life off my corporate slavewage plus whatever you bring in as a creative. so while we might not have the biggest house or the fanciest tech or the most amazing holidays, what I can promise you is you will not need to worry about having enough money to eat properly

so as a kid, at my grandmas house, which is now dads house. we had this brown rocking chair in the corer by the built in cabinet where videos and books were kept. it was on this thick, brown carpet
when i was hungry and was too embarassed to say so, i would sneak a piece of bread from the fridge and go behind the rocker and eat it, and then i would look at the pretty bible grandma had with the gold foiled pages and it had a lot of illustrations. i remember the lion den one specifically (edited)

also reminds me of a massive mistake a toy company made
it was a harry potter broomstick toy, except they decided they wanted to help the kids pretend they were flying, so they made the broomsticks vibrate

this is something that was formative for me, I think
when we were still living in the valley, we had dinky town fairs
with like badly maintained carny rides and stuff
one year, they had crappy blow-up bouncy castle
and of course they let tons of kids inside at once, no safety reqs or anything
so I was in with my brothers, and some other kids thought it would be fun to get a bit rough. becuase hey, bouncy castle, nothing can go wrong right?
this bouncy castle was one with like objects inside, right? so fake blow-up bookcases, that kinda stuff

and on the freeway i passed a cardboard box
like, it had fallen out of a truck or something
it was empty, that i saw when i drove by
but my brain went huh, what if there were kittens in that box.
what would you do? do you keep driving? do you slow down and back up? do you call someone?
like, called into question my moral character, which i have been shaky on for a while now cos i feel that working retail has desensitized me
and made me a lot harder than i used to be. plus like, the stuff with you etc etc
but when i thought about it i realized that i woudl stop and try to help them
even at bad monetary cost to me and stuff
like not having proper resources. i wouldn't just leave them there if i knew they needed my help

this one has to be a twfold cos theyre kind arelated
as a kid i collected TY beanie babies and still have a tote of them at dads i tink, if the kids didn't dig into them
as much as a kid can "collect"
so i have a bunch of the old ones or limited time ones like the old mcdonalds ones
the secon dpart is that a friend and i used to gather them all up, or barbies, and create like entire universes and stories. we like vampire stories a lot too XD

I know. I'm sorry, I only mentioned it because it came across my mind when trying to find something in the category of "tiny little thing that doesn't" matter. because it doesn't, it's seriously like a pin-head-sized little lump like what people get in earlobes and stuff.

I'm very glad I'm your type, because I don't really see anything attractive about myself. especially with these damn spots on my face. but you do make me feel very handsome and loved. and when I get to see you it's very exciting because beyond being the person I've chosen as my partner, you are gorgeous too

as long as you're not subconsciously looking for something to go wrong, because I won't allow that. I'm sure it'll all work out. also regarding the lump I tried checking for it in the shower last night and literally couldn't find it
it could have just been a blood cyst from an ingrown hair or something. I'm still going to get fondled next month but for what it's worth that might have resolved itself

I thought you were going straight to bed. I did think that maybe you might touch a little bit while going to sleep but my rational mind kinda preferred the idea of you getting the rest you needed for a working day
the less rational mind was spinning evocative images though

uits too bad i didn't think of the carrots until the end
cos they prob shouldve went in first
they didn't get quite soft, but the sweet potato would have turned to mush if i had cooked it much longer
Avatar
ChainReaction01 30-Jun-20 09:56 AM
yeah carrot can be quite stubborn. sometimes I forget that and throw it in all together and the softer veggies are like one step above mush when the carrot is done. but then I eat carrot raw so I don't really mind if it's still a bit tough

WinterVines 30-Jun-20 10:44 AM
yeah, cos like katja can't bring essem with her while she investigates
cos hes being ridiculous and clingy and it gives them away
so she kisses teyburn on the cheek with an apology and jets
so that he'll attack teyburn and not follwo her XD
and thats also payback cos teyburn is trying to help them, but he was also teasing and being a butt earlier

yeah, there was a lot of info that day lol
and theres a bird man who runs the bakery
the whole concept of the fic was that they were gonna go do "date" or valentines stuff without it really being a date thing
liek a sort of scavenger hunt maybe to gather ingreidents that the wtich needs
but then end up not needing it

oh shit that's right, teyburn is the guy from the hanahaki fic! that's badass haha. ooooh what's this scene?
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Jun-20 11:17 AM
i figured at some point, not sure the reason exactly, but wynter needs to go back home where she came from, like the northern snowy forests
like maybe something like inheritence or a dispute
something where she gets to kinda like be incharge-ish
and its like a chance to connect with the nature and wildlife there, since she hadn't before
before she dipped
so they go there for a while to do... something. not sue yet haha
Avatar
ChainReaction01 30-Jun-20 11:20 AM
that's an interesting thought, chay'nee would be keen to see nature in that part of the world. maybe it's an inheritance thing but when they get there the tribal elder or whatever takes a dislike to chay'nee which then puts strain on them
for any number of easily manufactured reasons
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Jun-20 11:20 AM
i mean wynter isn't really from a tribe or anything
her family just does some sort of business there
i imagined maybe they shipped out lumber

right, interesting. some problem with the family business then? they're getting slandered and the only thing they can think to do is call wynter for help?
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Jun-20 11:22 AM
or maybe they're going out of business or theres a contested land ownership thing
like i think i was thinking
i wanted to give them a chance to have wynter become lord of the land or w/e
and give she and chay'nee an opportunity or obstacle of whetehr to settle or not

maybe thats one reason she scooted, idk

that could be amusing, like obviously she could kick their butt but instead she lays a false trail? and then chay'nee finds the trail and follows it but then loses it at some point

a customer was upset about haivng to wear a mask and she told him something that wasn't true at all
so when he called to talk to scott later, the convo didn't go great
and like, the dude's an asshole anyway
but it iddn't help
and then he got two written leters of people complaining that we never answer teh phone, cos when its too busy, we let it ring so theyre not on hold for liek 15 mins
and wendy told one of them "we don't have time to answer the phone"
and she probably DID say that. she may have meant it in a joking way, but hte tone was there
and scott was like, i KNOW she said that. and i was like yeah...
its like dude, she's already on an improvement plan for her behavior, and their follow up recently did not go well
ths does not get pionts in her favor

i dont think she'd come

this is relevant to my interests

WinterVines 01-Jul-20 12:00 PM
yeah cos like you know how i said i used ficiton to fight my battles, and you affirmed thatit worked yseterday
and then i went oh, thtsa good angle
to use writing to process things
cos ive been struggling with an angle
but thats a pretty good one. cos like writing also saved my life a few times. and this is exactly why. i used it as a way to connect with things happening or explore ideas or vent or w/e
some sort of emotional reason

ChainReaction01 01-Jul-20 12:02 PM

you're so creative, I can't wait to see what you come up with when you're not shackled down

WinterVines 01-Jul-20 12:04 PM
me tooooooo
like some of these ideas i remember having but i didn't write down, whichis ALWAYS a mistake
and then i had a weird dream i started writing down too that might also be story material
Avatar
ChainReaction01 01-Jul-20 12:05 PM
yeah I actually keep a small notepad on my bedside table in case I need to remember something I think about or dream about
most of it is... bad. but it's been valuable to have it noted down
Avatar
WinterVines 01-Jul-20 12:06 PM
i mean even if its bad, it coudl clue you in to some other thought
things that aren't seemingly connected seomtimes are
like pretty sure the car story i came up with was an abstract way of dealing with not having you anymore
even tho it was like a year afterward
also cam is pretty sappy too

sex is supposed to be good for cramps
and i haven't felt bad per se
but i like to hedge my bets
also i was just grimy and icky from this morning

WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:36 AM
so i had a spark of idea
cos i was feeling good but i was thinking, shit, the angle is all weird
like ive mentioend before
and i didn't really feel liek standing or anything
but i have liek a large plastic bowl i use for cleaning. its meant to be liek a large mixing bowl or w/e that we got at the dollar store years ago for my HS graduation
and its been in teh shower cos i was putting a water bowl inside it so asshole didn't tip it over and they had water two places
and i was like hmm... thats kidna sturdy
its not super big
about like 6 inches high if turned over
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jul-20 11:39 AM
oh that's an interesting idea, kinda like an improvised stool?

WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:39 AM

basically
and it was pretty much the exact height i needed

ChainReaction01 02-Jul-20 11:39 AM
that's awesome!
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:39 AM
and the thing adhered to it too
still dont know if i actually finished or not
but i got to a point that i stopped
my legs were a little shaky aftewards, but that might have been because i was kneeling in such a way/sitting on my legs sort of thing
or maybe it was just good and my legs were a little unstable haha
i had to sit and rest afterward
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jul-20 11:40 AM
yeah fair enough, that was an awesome idea
man now I'm thirsty thinking about that

man you have no idea. I need to show you what a warm body can do compared to a toy

WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:49 AM
yeah thats also the thing
a piece of silicone is nothing compared to a warm, pulsing thing
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jul-20 11:49 AM
pulsing is the right word, god damn
and rather than crouching on a toy, I can hold you up so you'll be more comfortable
and if I growl into your ear and tell you to cum, provided I've worked you up sufficiently, you just might

WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:50 AM
you know, i might indeed
thats a much better sound than the shower raining down on the wall

like there wouldn't be boob grabbage
I need as much skin contact with you as I can get
Avatar
WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:51 AM
i guess it depends on which way im facing
but in the shower, to avoid th eleg thing, might need to be back to front
Avatar
ChainReaction01 02-Jul-20 11:52 AM
yeah that's generally how I envisage it
front to front in the shower looks pretty awkward, from the couple of times I've seen it
besides, front to back is easier to pin you
which I might want to do

WinterVines 02-Jul-20 11:53 AM

but if we're sitting, boob grab to pull me closer is convenient

another shower bonus is no cleanup, which does appeal to me

at least so ive heard
lube is kinda icky so i can see that
you get kinda messy

I know I'll be good at casual loving touches
you will always be keenly aware of how much I love you
and then there are the other touches, the ones which cause involuntary noises...

I tried to salvage it by saying "but she hasn't seen me or heard me in ages, my awfulness is just coasting under her radar" but they countered with "nope we know for a fact you've spoken with her recently and there's no chance you haven't sent her pics"

it's possible. I go to bed early because I'm usually too tired to do anything after like 8pm. but I forced myself to keep doing stuff until like 10:00 to stay awake. so that made me collapse into bed and it was quicker to get to sleep

WinterVines 06-Jul-20 10:09 AM
so whatever tier you're in youre stuck and have limited job choices
and how much you're paid
so liek the main character is a 4, which is 2 tiers from the bottom
so they can be like artists, muscians, etc
5 get the really sucky jobs like cleaners etc
6 are homelss beggars
and obviously a 1 is being royalty
which, you get bumped up into that if youre chosen as the princess and win the comp
they only lottery/choose form people who apply for it
so like, people WANT to apply cos they also get paid while at the castle
to send money to their families

I think there's more going on than what we can see and I also think there's a general sense of low-key benevolence. there's obviously not some dude sitting in some clouds watching us but there's definitely more than just science can explain. at least, not current science

im angry at this book
cos its harping on buying a house and how most people are dumb to do it
and this book does a lot of making me feel bad about not knowing stuff years ago
and making bad choices
Avatar
ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 12:49 PM
for what it's worth, I think it's wrong to say that buying a house is bad
I think that book is probably written for a particular subset of people
a house is one of the most important things to own, real estate is practically never a bad investment
Avatar
WinterVines 06-Jul-20 12:49 PM
people with money to save and invest mostly
well,
maybe outside of the US
but with the numbers its actually not really an investment here. cos of inflation and stuff

ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 12:50 PM
oh fair enough, different rules etc

WinterVines 06-Jul-20 12:50 PM

but its sort of that expectation i suppose
and to be fair, i didn't know you were gonna be in my life when i bought
just think how easy this wouldve been if i had been renting @_@

it's okay babe, it also could have meant your debts were way higher than they currently are
no sense worrying about alternate timelines, let's just focus on ours

good thing youre a sugar daddy hehe
at least, it makes it all easier i suppose. i dont feel so trapped

ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 01:01 PM

Avatar
WinterVines 06-Jul-20 01:02 PM
hehe yeah, perhaps in certain settngs lol
but honestly
it does mean a lot to me that youre willing to put in funds for my burdens
and like, not making me feel bad bout it

ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 01:07 PM
of course, you shouldn't feel bad about it. I'm genuinely so proud at what you've managed to do, all by yourself
I have money laying around, I would like nothing more than to help you with your burdens. can think of no better use for it
your safety and security is my number one concern
Avatar
WinterVines 06-Jul-20 01:09 PM
i guess. i think what i can't get my head wrapped around is that it seems like a waste of money lol
which makes no sense i know
but like, throwing your money at my mistakes sort of thing
idk
Avatar
ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 01:09 PM
they're not mistakes. you did the best you coud
and it's not a waste of money, it's an investment in setting up our kingdom
money can be used to build walls and hire troops and etc. this is different, but the same
I just want you to be happy

WinterVines 06-Jul-20 01:13 PM

it just feels kinda like

even tho its sharing i dont feel im contributing much XD

ChainReaction01 06-Jul-20 01:15 PM

do you have any libraries near you?

it's not even our problem, it's the other system

WinterVines 07-Jul-20 09:45 AM
ive been putting together that book list
trying to spend 1k XD
but like some of them i could probably find at hte library
and read for free
i dont know if they work any differently than they do here tho i guess
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 09:45 AM
yeah probably. a quick maps search tells me that there's one about 10 mins walk away
and I think they do? idk you sign up for a card and then you can borrow a number of books. I havent had a library card in years tbh

i ahven't either. had one in cadillac where wayne lives

but i have my firday off which is your sat

ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 09:58 AM
yeah I've pretty much blocked out my saturday for us, the group wants to do D&D sunday arvo though and I was just checking whether you had that off. if you don't then it shouldn't be a problem to start playing at our regular 3pm, you're usually gone to bed by then

man its kinda something else
like, when i take away the pressure of needing to sketch or write today because i did it yeseterday and its optional today, my motivation just goes way up
cos its just fun and not an obligation
am i gonna feel like that all the time once i move and can delve into creative stuff? that woudl be wild and awesome
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:27 AM
I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, to be honest. if you wake up and don't feel any external pressures beyond needing to wash and eat then I'd imagine you'd feel a lot more engaged and willing to work on projects
I mean when shit gets real and there are deadlines and stuff you might feel that pressure again. but then it'd be positive because that means you're making it
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:28 AM
yeah
like i mean there are times when you just hav eto suck it up and do the job
but like, this is a joyful freedom

but like creativity sort of joy
thats a different sort
like wanting to actually do creative stuff
i haven't felt that in a while
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:30 AM
no you're right, I'm just playing. it's awesome when you get that breath of fresh air and you want to use it to work on things. I had that last year, where it was such a struggle to prep D&D stuff. so I took a bit of a break, and then after a couple months all of a sudden I wanted to work on it again, and that felt so great
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:32 AM
yeah, i wanna hit that high again
maybe it'll hit us when we work on a campaign setting thing

ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:33 AM
that would be awesome. I would really really like to work on a project with you
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:34 AM
me too
like between our different skill sets i think it'll be legit
we;ll cover for what the other isn't great at and then brainstorm and make it awesome
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:35 AM
yeah I'm sure we can do it, I have the maths and you have the creatives. and we're both good at writing. and for other stuff we can figure out what needs to be done and do it. so exciting to think about
what if we became a husband and wife power duo in a fantasy niche of some kind, that'd be wild
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:37 AM
that would be!!!
i look forward to it a lot
and whatwe can come up with
i think the first adventure will be hardest but what if after that we can just churn them out ;o
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:39 AM
oh absolutely, you have to set up like document frameworks and figure out licensing and all that kind of stuff. once you've done it once or twice, it'd be way easier. maybe we could work on putting something out once every three months or so and that way there's more chance of people finding our content. and then if they like it, they'll look for our other stuff too. and then that's a fanbase!
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:39 AM
exactly!
and i have a website name that ties into it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:39 AM
and we can set up like a discord server and maybe even a patreon for extra goodies (bonus NPC statblocks, extra art pieces, etc)
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:39 AM
it could be restructured and more focused
i do tink a discord server for anyone is key these days

ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:40 AM
yeah especialyl now that discord is expanding out into non-gaming spheres, they want to take on skype and zoom apparently

WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:40 AM
ooooh i like htat
discord works so much better than those others did
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 10:41 AM
yeah for sure. I can imagine someone buying a PDF adventure and having a question, like how to best adapt it into their ongoing campaign, so they pop into the server and ask a question. and then within a few hours (unless we're asleep lol) they get a personalised response and even a conversation about it
my customer service persona loves that idea

WinterVines 07-Jul-20 10:42 AM
yeah!!
also i put 5 in the AUS box today

like today i was thnking, do we save some of my dishes or do we donate them and start fresh/maybe not come back?
im ready to just start packing and hauling away lol
like im fairly confident i can get my life down to 1 suitcase
altho idk how big its allowed
i have agiant one but i think that prob isn't good to fly with
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:32 AM
20kgs is usually the limit for flights iirc, I don't think they really care about dimensions too much. as for plates, unless they're particularly nice or have sentimental attachments, I'd sway more towards donate/rummage sale
plates and cutlery are usually fairly cheap to obtain if we really need them
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 11:33 AM
its not really good shaped for flying tho i guess
its too big so it would be over that weight limit probably too haha
thats very true

ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:33 AM

WinterVines 07-Jul-20 11:33 AM
and one fewer thing to pack up and store
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:34 AM
pretty much! the less stored the better, I reckon. and it's not like,whenever we do end up back in the US, we'll be like "damn I wish we saved those random bowls". it'd be more like "we need bowls, let's go get some"
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 11:35 AM
thats also true
im not really sentimental toward much of anything haha
a couple big pictures that'll hav eto be stored
cos they might break to ship/too big to be practical
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:36 AM
and like the chest and stuff too
there's some stuff for sure
and if we have space we can store stuff as well
but I feel like it's not worth keeping the smaller stuff like that
Avatar
WinterVines 07-Jul-20 11:37 AM
yeah i feel not too
cos liek theres the potential that we dont come back at all really
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:38 AM
maybe, we don't know. we wil absolutely have the ability to do so. but maybe you fall in love with aus and don't feel like returning. esp if we visit the us regularly

WinterVines 07-Jul-20 11:38 AM
yeah, that could be possible. like maybe i was just made for australia is all

ChainReaction01 07-Jul-20 11:39 AM
maybe, I can't wait to find out. I'm confident you'll be happy here, but if we'd be even happier in the US then I'm game to move there
we'll find our corner of the world, I don't care where it is

yeah I can do ID scans. and yes my passport is up to date, I'm good through to like 2023 I think
online banks are more interesting, and one of the things I very much want to research, yes

i learned today haha
but it was a story about an overtaxed mom sort of thing
and like being revved up by her husband helping clean so she didn't have to
and then gave him head in the kitchen while the dishwasher was running XD
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 11:48 AM
haha yeah I've read a few of those stories
okay not THAT explicit ._.
but it's a pretty common talkback radio thing, like "what does you husband do to turn you on" and 75% of the responses are "dishes, laundry, mow the lawn, etc"
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Jul-20 11:49 AM
yeah, thats fair
cos like
if you get distracted by them, sex is not really on the mind
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 11:49 AM
yeah exactly, hierarchy of needs etc. sex comes after food and cleanliness
and time is valuable for higher levels. so if the husband takes care of the lower level stuff, that leaves the partner with more time for developmental stuff
which they might want to give a reward for!
I would be okay with kitchen head just btw

okay so my party is going to this area where there's a bit of a plague right
and I don't want to make it a coronavirus meme so I'm thinking of other stuff
and I'm kinda settling on some kind of painful skin condition?
the illness' source is from the Abyss, so pain would be a specific part of it
and I figure if it's a skin thing, that means it's not super hard to contain, because signs would be obvious
I want the illness to be an annoyance to the party, like blocking their investigation at times, but I don't want it to be the primary problem or focus
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Jul-20 11:54 AM
is it like physically contractable
or is it like a curse
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 11:54 AM
it's definitely contractable
spreads like a regular illness
so skin contact, sneezes, etc
in my mind, there are like neighborhoods that are quarantined, but at least half of the city is functioning normally
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Jul-20 11:55 AM
tahts fair
is it contact only?
or airborne or anythign?
does it pass on objects or just person to person
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 11:55 AM
I think if it's airborne then it's too hard to contain. object to object is easier but I think I want it to just be person to person mostly
so like the guards just keep people in their neighborhoods and bring them food and shoot them if they try to leave kinda
and that's enough to get this grim atmosphere which can roadblock the party without being their entire focus
they're hunting a murderer, not curing a plague
the plague is a roadblock on their quest kinda

so a skin condition makes sense you reckon? I can't really think of details though
like maybe crusty yellow wounds? and what would it be called?

WinterVines 08-Jul-20 11:58 AM
yeha, i think that would be neat. something visual
so it gives them the opportunity to notice it eslewhere
something rot?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 12:04 PM
maybe. because this is kinda demon-born, what about a rash that looks like tentacles
or small bone-like protrusions?
protrusions that can break off and carry the disease
which might be a good scene
if the party has to track someone based on the broken bits
and maybe people file them off to try and get out of the quarantine

ring rot
cos it appears in circles

it would have to be something simple for the common folk anyway

also based on reading

Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Jul-20 12:21 PM
maybe. it could also just be that finishing by yourself isn't as exciting
cos it's like that for me. touching myself alone in the dark doesn't feel nearly as good as when I'm on voice with you
(as awkward as that is to admit)
and women can finish multiple times. maybe you stop on like the first, but if we kept going the second might feel even better

well i just thought of osmething
like, my own right has a rock part that sort of sticks up right, liek a normal ring
and ive caught it on shit and almost pulled my finger off XD
so maybe like a band would be better with like rocks in it instead provided they aren't too spendy

ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:07 AM
yes, I would like you to have a fancy one for going out and showing off and stuff
I do like that type of ring
it's a male thing to want to give your beloved a pretty ring, that's all

WinterVines 09-Jul-20 09:08 AM
haha i think its a women thing to usually want one too
im just... not very feminie or standard i guess

ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:08 AM
that's fine. and a silicone ring would be enough for me if it is for you too. but there are normals out there who won't understand that

and i mean its none of their business
but if you'd really like one i think that'd be okay
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:09 AM
I'd just like certain people to see you with a fancy ring. like your dad, and maybe ronni, and probably my parents/grandma
feels kinda dumb saying that but idk, it's how I feel

WinterVines 09-Jul-20 09:10 AM
i dont think its dumb
theres a reason why traditions are traditions

ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:10 AM
and I mean maybe I won't find one that I like, or is too expensive or whatever. because money is better spent on other things
but if I can find one that I like for a reasonable price I would like to get it so you have sparklies you can wear on occasion

it rained today pretty hard for a few minutes so now whenever it rains i think of you

man these are hitting some very specific triggers of mine
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Jul-20 09:29 AM
and got liek really into the motions. its a little difficult just cos of solo play
but like it was bouncy
and honeslty i think maybe i did actually finish but it was just less pronounced because toy isn't as good
because when i took it out there was a little dot of white on the end. and thats not the first time ive seen it. very small, so idk what its supposed to be like
but
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:30 AM
yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. sometimes when I finish it doesn't really feel good, per se, it's just a release. and then other times it feels really good. mood is definitely a huge factor
just trying to get the picture right in my head, for science of course. you were like on a pillow?

WinterVines 09-Jul-20 09:31 AM

so when i woke up this morning and was kinda moseying around
the leftover from last night had leaked out onto my unides a little hehe

ChainReaction01 09-Jul-20 09:35 AM
mmm that's a fun thought too. kinda related to the breeding stuff I bet. I like the idea of putting so much inside that it leaks out a bit. even though I know intellectually that's physically impossible XD

ooooh tell me more
cos i thought of a story for them today too
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 08:56 AM
oh snap XD
okay so it's a real-world AU
chay'nee is shopping in a mall, I think he's in a boardgame store for some reason
and he leaves the store and someone basically runs into him at full force
and because chay'nee is built like a brick shithouse the other person goes down and he barely notices
then he realises there's yelling and stuff and the person he accidentally took down was a shoplifter or wallet thief or something
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 08:58 AM
lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 08:58 AM
so he calls out for someone to call for the police on their phone while he keeps them down
and wyntir is there so she calls on her mobile
a small crowd kinda gathers while chay'nee is effortlessly keeping this guy down and wyntir's just kinda watching
the cops rock up and take him away, and chay'nee thanks wyntir for using her phone
and she's like "uh huh, so you gunna ask for my number or what"
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 08:59 AM
hehe
i can see that
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 08:59 AM
and chay'nee's bowled over cos he's an idiot
but he does and they arrange a date and go their separate ways
and the story is kinda about how chay'nee tries to be tough and macho around her
cos they're going out cos he took down a robber
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 09:01 AM
hehe this tracks
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 09:02 AM
but during their dates, wyntir only ever shows a sense of like wry amusement
and eventually it comes out that the reason she asked chay'nee out was because he was so gentle in accidentally knocking the person down and keeping them down. like he was careful and controlled not brutal and that's what she liked. so him trying to be all tough when she knew he was really a kind soul was pretty damn funny

so are you gonna write this story for me ;3

it did end with a line of dialogue after chay'nee was finished being silly

Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 09:09 AM
nah thats all good. i wanna hear about the bad parts of your day too
i had a thought that chay'nee's tribe probably specialized a little bit with creatures
which would make sense why he gets invovled when they meet and that dergin is being hunted
i figure as the jhundi scattered, they sort of adapted to their area and diversified a teeny bit
which would make sense that he can make a bond with the spirit horses and such
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 09:11 AM
yeah that does make sense
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 09:11 AM
which wyntir has seen him do like once or twice
so, they are somewhere. maybe near her hometown? and they are not together in this scene, they're separated for some minor reason
and she runs into the squirrel dragon again. it could be that it followed her/is following them or thatmaybe it originated from near where she grew up and it was just out of place where they had run into it before
but its like hurt sort of thing, and because healing is very rare she can't really help it. but she tries to form a bond with it to save it, cos like, she knows that sa thing you can do, though she doesn't know how to do it really since she's only seen that happen very rarely
but its dire sort of thing
so she does the magic thingy
but its not right. something isn't right and it goofs. cos liek a fae/spirit horse is different than a live creature after all

ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 09:13 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 09:14 AM
they end up being bound but theres a consequence or a cost or something. it like ties their energy together or something. and like now wyn is hurting too. and she can feel its not exactly right
but you know, had to try saving it
and thats how chay'nee stumbles across them
Started a call that lasted 0 minutes.
and i just imagined a scene wehere she's kinda repeating in a sort of daze/hurt cloud "it's not right, it's not right:
whops, wrong shortcut haha

sorry, its just different from what we do here

that is per week I think
yeah rental stuff is dumb here, I have no fuckin idea why we pay in two week blocks
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 09:57 AM
maybe cos a lot of people used it as a paycheck and its easier to budget if you get paid more often?

ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 09:58 AM
possibly. no doubt there's some reason, I just don't know what it is. you're probably right about the paycheck thing though

yeah!! its a nice side hustle
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 10:01 AM
sometimes I see people writing rants about how living off the rent of others is immoral, and I kinda get what they're saying. but I need a side hustle of some kind and I try to balance it out by being a good landlord and being moral in other ways. striving for perfect morality just ends you up in the gutter and I don't want that for us
Avatar
WinterVines 10-Jul-20 10:04 AM
i mean you dont charge abnormally high like they do here at least
you barely cover the mortgage XD
the problem when you try to be perfect morally is that other people are not
even if they're not ab-moral, some people stil are just out for themselves and will take advantage if they can
Avatar
ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 10:06 AM
exactly right. and I've been taken advantage of in that way before. so I kinda want to ride the line of being moral without getting screwed for it. which honestly I think I do pretty well on, I don't overcharge for rent and I set aside money for charity and stuff like that
man I bet frequent discussion about morality just rev your engine huh >_>

ChainReaction01 10-Jul-20 10:27 AM
something that gives you a bit of breathing room?
I mean, the company wouldn't exactly be happy if they knew that I was spending time chatting with you and others during the day. but they've said a few times, "as long as the work is getting done we don't really care what you do with every single second of your day"
kind of a trust thing, I think. they give us a bit of slack in the leash and trust us not to choke anyone with it

my dad texts and is like are you at work?
and hten hes calling me. but im on hold so i can't answer it

WinterVines 13-Jul-20 09:34 AM
it really is
that part is so dang hard
but there were two or three ideas for mer may
and also i didn't tell you about the universe that its now fire-emblem -esque i dont think
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Jul-20 09:37 AM
oooh yes, tell me
about your ideas and this universe
is it a different one?
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Jul-20 09:38 AM
well one mer may story i got the line stuck in my head "but she tried"
yeah diff universe from ixlloriya
and the line got stuck that way based on a thing in poetry class back in college
where the title of the poem answered a question at the end
so i wnated to do the same thing with the story.
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Jul-20 09:39 AM
oh that's interesting
is it like the reader doesn't necessarily know what the title is going to mean, or do you reckon it's meant to be fairly obvious?
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Jul-20 09:40 AM
it'll be obvious by the end
i planned that phrase to pop up two other times
basically about a little girl who imagines shes a mermaid
gets kinda dark at the end, kind aliek the real little mermaid tale
where they tell her she can't like just jump off that cliff and swim or something
and then it ends on a cliffhanger
cos "but she tried"
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Jul-20 09:41 AM
oh wow that is a little bit dark haha
and you could play with the story so that "but she tried" could apply in multiple situations
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Jul-20 09:42 AM
yeah
like, she wears a mermaid tale or does something else mermaid like
and the people around her are like "you can't do X"
sort of thing
and it escalates
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Jul-20 09:43 AM
and she's not actually a mermaid, she just wants to be
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Jul-20 09:43 AM
shes like 5
so no, shes just a little girl
with like hints that nobody really pays attention to her/self absorbed or like doesn't take her seriously kind of thing

Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Jul-20 09:50 AM
that's an interesting way to put it. I think I agree, you've always tried to control your circumstances as best you could and that shows in your writing, I think. like in the hanahaki thing there was a theme of the girl (I forget her name) being careful to manage essem

i fund jathan
Name: Jathan Carter Age: 15 Gender: Male Personality: Jathan is a quiet and shy yet fiercely loyal individual, who has a strong sense of justice and is quite willing to bend a few rules to ensure that what he feels is right will occur. He is an aspiring Pokemon Breeder, and he comes into the Park whenever he can to catch new Pokemon to work with. He talks a lot about a variety of different things but he has principle interests, those being Pokemon training, video gaming, and breeding. He lives in the shadow of his elder brothers, who are a Gym Leader and Elite Ranger respectively. Appearance: Jathan isn't much of a looker, and he knows it. He dresses for comfort as opposed to aesthetic appeal, normally sporting a T-shirt, a hoodie, shorts, and boot-like joggers. His sole concession towards style is a gauntlet-like bracer on his right arm to which his Pokeballs are attached. Jathan has mid-length brown hair, brown eyes, is quite tall and is slightly overweight. Pokemon Captured: A shit-ton at this point, alright? If you really care, come ask me. Winter, if you're reading this, go away, I'm lazy. Items kept track of in my Trainer Stats.
if you want him to port over. i can find your ranger in a sec

Avatar
WinterVines 13-Jul-20 12:51 PM
yeah XD
op, too big
hang on
Name: James "Chainy" Carter Age: 21 Gender: Male Personality: Chainy lives for the National Park. He lives in one of the towns nearby on the mainland, and he's been coming to the National Park ever since he received his starter Pokemon at age ten. When he first became a Ranger he was nervous about his responsibilities, but has since grown into them. The higher-ups noticed this, and he was recently promoted to Elite Ranger. Despite this, he still acts like one of the guys, and only ever uses his authority to bulldoze over idiots who don't listen who him.
In his early days, he preferred to use gadgets as opposed to Pokemon in the field, but these days he uses both equally. Of special note is his upgraded Aura Reader (the last ever sold), the jets in his boots, and his PDA with which he is eternally tinkering and upgrading. In general Chainy is a loose, happy-go-lucky kind of person. He feels that no matter what happens, if you believe in yourself and your skills you'll get what you want. He respects all living things and would never dream of hurting anything. Despite this, he is known to chase after women, most notably secretaries and attractive young Trainers, and one of his fondest dreams is to match the exploits of his mentor, Leo. He is a little freaked out by Bug-type Pokemon, especially the smaller ones, and has a morbid fear of bats. Description: Chainy is tall, just over two metres in height. He is also thin and lean, giving him an arrow or javelin-like look. He has spiky brown hair and brown eyes. His right eye is hidden by his Aura Reader, which is coloured black. His feet are particularly large, even keeping in mind his especially large body.
Chainy wears the usual Ranger uniform of khaki shorts and shirt and a camo vest. He has a blue beanie and a pair of blue fingerless gloves for cold weather work, but hates to use them as he enjoys the cold, especially over heat. He also has a trenchcoat, but rarely uses it, preferring instead to tie it around his waist if he decides to bring it along (he usually doesn't). Instead of using a traditional backpack Chainy keeps all of his supplies and gadgets in a Japanese-style wrap-up pack that fits snugly in his lower back. Finally, his shoes looks like fancy black dress shoes as opposed to the usual sneakers, but he has cut them open and put some fun stuff in there, as well as made more room for his huge feet. Pokemon Natures: Smash the Swampert, M, Quiet Nature Dual the Gallade, M, Serious Nature Broadblade the Staraptor, M, Adamant Nature Meta the Metagross, G, Brave Nature Specialle the Dusknoir, F, Sassy Nature SIXTH SPOT RESERVED FOR WHATEVER THE HELL I FEEL LIKE
that leo was his mentor...

so I think chainy went afk because he resuced a super young kohai from some evil group and kohai bonded with dual so he had to rehabilitate kohai. at least, that's some small part of it

well I kinda casually flicked through the jakk and ivy run and I was thinking the whole way through how it was so great that we could so easily roleplay people different from ourselves while enjoying the experience together and that just made me ache for you even more than usual. so I got home and worked out a bit because I decided to try that form of stress release first. when the arm bands didn't work, I was pleased to find the shower wasn't freezing, so I tried a different type of arm exercise ;3

ChainReaction01 14-Jul-20 08:46 AM
I mean I wasn't necessarily leading it that way, it was more the emotional connection I was enjoying. and that made me hungry for a physical connection, so I went home and got as close as I could - working myself furiously, leaning against the shower and thinking about all the different things I want to share with you

WinterVines 14-Jul-20 09:22 AM

i think when you pre-roll
its easier to tell immediately if youre gonna get curb stomped
and that can be un-fun
at least with rolling as you go, theres still an element of surprise

ChainReaction01 14-Jul-20 09:22 AM
oh that's a very good point

Avatar
WinterVines 14-Jul-20 09:22 AM
like, imagine your foe rolls a legend or two
and you dont roll any
like, immediatley the battle has a damper
esp if you have no counters for them
i think it also makes you work and think less with each mon
cos youre not necessarily trying to save one, not knowing if what you roll next will be worse
unlike roling as you go, where you try to make the most out of every single roll you get

okay, what do you think of this?
Name: James "Chainy" Carter Age: 26 Gender: Male Personality: Chainy is... older than he was. He was known as a loose, happy-go-lucky kind of person and that's still largely true, but it is now tempered by the kind of practical wisdom that only results from experience. He still believes in self-confidence and that all life is sacred, but he's much less liable to chase skirts these days. In an age now past, Chainy was an Elite Ranger in the National Park. He loved it with a passion, and still does. However, circumstances took him away from his beloved Park; as the result of a mission gone wrong, he was forced to put down temporary roots in a place far away. That time is now done, and he is eager to return to the Park and see how it has changed. He feels no real desire to expand his Pokemon team, but he knows that his younger brother Jathan is always eager to meet new friends but is usually too busy or shy to go on expeditions himself. Chainy was known amongst the Rangers for relying on fancy gadgets like his Aura Reader. His focus these days has changed, and he very rarely uses any technology as he's come to enjoy working with his own hands (and those of his team, metaphorically speaking). He still hasn't shaken his fear of Bug-types and bat Pokemon.
Description: Standing a shade over 6’6 in height, Chainy is also thin and lean, giving him an arrow or javelin-like look. He has spiky brown hair (almost definitely product-assisted, these days) and brown eyes. Thin lines around his eyes show that he likes to smile, and the eyes themselves usually contain a mischievous sparkle. Unlike when he was last active, Chainy no longer wears the Ranger uniform. These days, he sees himself as more of a theoretical advisor, almost like a relic of the past which can still provide useful insights on occasion. That said, his standard attire is very much influenced by the outfit he’s most well-known for; he prefers to wear cargo shorts and short-sleeved tee shirts, wherever possible. In cold weather situations, he will deign to wear a beanie, fingerless gloves and a long black coat, but these situations are few and far between. Finally, rather than using a traditional backpack, Chainy keeps all of his supplies in a Japanese-style wrap-up pack that fits snugly in his lower back.

ChainReaction01 14-Jul-20 09:54 AM
everyone's got ways to improve, that's part of life. for what it's worth, I think mental writing is much more interesting than action - I tend to blur over action scenes. it makes dresden files hard to read sometimes because butcher drops important clues in the middle of action scenes and so I usually miss them :L

yeah I did, ate my beans quickly and then dropped straight off. would have missed work if I hadn't set an alarm
it got me through the rest of the day though
and then I went home and puttered around for a couple of hours and ended up going to sleep at 8
and went straight through to ike 7:30 this morning

WinterVines 15-Jul-20 08:44 AM
wow
that is a long time
you may be a little ill after all
please dont get covid 3:
i thought about that, like if i travel there i might get it
and what if i get you sick or something
i dont want that for either of us
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jul-20 08:54 AM
haha nah there's no chance it's covid, no active cases here. and besides covid is respiratory, this is like tiredness
and I wouldn't worry about the travelling thing, everyone is using best practices
and for non-smoking relatively young people like us, covid isn't particularly dangerous. not great but not a massive problem either

WinterVines 15-Jul-20 08:55 AM
one of the first people it killed here in MN was a healthy 30yo woman
so XD but i mean i was just thinking like what ifs. you know how that goes
wasn't super negative or stressful or anything, just playing a scneario out
i do not want covid because i got swine and ive had pnumonia

that'll be a lot of help
wish I could be there to help 😦 dumb covid
Avatar
WinterVines 15-Jul-20 09:27 AM
yeah. well we dont know yet, maybe it will be
but any way i look at it
its not practical for you to come out here twice
to like get me
and you cant come out to help and take me back at the same time
cos i dont think the house will sell that fast
/theres usually 30-60 days closing time
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jul-20 09:30 AM
you're not wrong, that is a practical way of looking at it
and if you do have some help I feel less bad about not coming out. because I would like to come out and do the whole dad and wayne thing
Avatar
WinterVines 15-Jul-20 09:30 AM
see th eproblem lies in
that i shoudl really try to set up the house selling before. then you visit and i go back with you and th ehouse is done
but that doesn't look as good for the visa
man i really dont wanna hang onto the house for that long
but i also dont want to wait a year for th fiance visa to kick in and let me go there either
if i could get there faster
i suppose either way theres gonna be two trips of some sort
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jul-20 09:45 AM
it's not impossible. it really all hangs on two things; the passport and covid. once your passport comes back we'll return to the lawyer and they should be able to give advice on what visa best suits our situation

WinterVines 15-Jul-20 09:47 AM
yeah
the dang covid thing tho
like man, that really fuckinsucks lol
i coudl literally be there
maybe wouldn't look as good
but it woudl be possible
wait, you said something earlier about a date

I wrote about her in taragmyr's backstory, I could probably dig that out and send it to you if you're interested. the stuff from there, like how she came back and is badass and whatever, that's on cam

ChainReaction01 15-Jul-20 12:12 PM
see I played taragmyr as, like, full on acerbic. vitriolic in almost all ways. I think now that he's met back up with mirelia and she still wants him even though he's scarred as fuck in more ways than one, the acidity will fade. and then when taragmyr's instant reaction to everything is no longer "throw it in acid" cam will realise that I can be NE without causing any problems. it would change from cartooney NE to "the safety of me and my partner comes before eveyrhting else" which is 100% reasonable in an adventurer

WinterVines 15-Jul-20 12:12 PM

they are just not th esame rules

you wrote her fam was a merchant one

she's almost definitely not evil

well she got a little damperted

so maybe like true neutral is more the speed?
idk how alignment works very well ill admit
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Jul-20 12:18 PM
nobody does XD and she could be of any alignment realistically
like maybe being taken advantage of has jaded her and she is NE like taragmyr

ChainReaction01 16-Jul-20 11:35 AM
it's hard to know for sure but I think shipping stuff should be mostly okay, provided it's wrapped and packed properly. some of it might break but I mean that's true for just putting it into a truck to be stored somewhere

I'm not as tired as yesterday but I am pretty fatigued
might nap before dinner, I'm on early shift today so I should have time

yeah i fyou can swing it, why not i guess
altho its maybe a little worrying that you need so many naps
do you get the seasonal depression thing?

ChainReaction01 16-Jul-20 01:46 PM
I don't think so? I spend enough time fighting off regular depression haha. it is a bit weird about the naps, I generally don't take them, definitely will speak with the dr on tuesday

yeah, i dont nap a lot either. but sometimes i get tired enough or have a headache or something

and she says is this going to delete cached stuff for any other pages? and I go yeah probably, we're cleaning everything out
and she says well I have saved stuff I don't want to lose, you'll have to walk me through how to clean out individual pages
and I say I'm happy to try but without being able to see it directly I can't give you a guarantee we're not going to accidentally torch something you want to save

so why should ivy and chainy be going there
Avatar
ChainReaction01 17-Jul-20 10:08 AM
because chainy hasn't been to the park in years, he's been taking care of kohai and winning his trust, and kohai is just now to the stage where he's old enough that it's time to start showing him new experiences and the joy of exploring, lest he become a shut-in
and since chainy hasn't been around in ages, and ivy's in the area, she wants to tag along?

none to the extent of this morning, no. although there are people claiming it's not working when it is - it's your browser that's misbehaving dude, not my system
and trust me, I'd love to blame the system, I hate it. but I can't blame it because it's not broken
Avatar
WinterVines 17-Jul-20 12:00 PM
XD exactly
the first instinct for most of them tho is to blame outside
instead of trying to problem solve on their end first
cos its easier to bitch than to investigate
Avatar
ChainReaction01 17-Jul-20 12:02 PM
yeah. and to be fair, for non-technical people, when it looks like only one site is broken then it's understandable they think it's the site's fault
but it's kinda like windows on a house, looking out over different scenes. just because the other three windows work doesn't mean the fourth will. and sometimes when the fourth window doesn't show you the sunset you're expecting, it's because your window is damaged, not the sunset

WinterVines 17-Jul-20 12:04 PM
also considering a lot of people on the other end are not very tech savvy

ChainReaction01 17-Jul-20 12:05 PM
yeah for sure. and I'm always happy to help those that aren't. what annoys me is when I explain the situation very carefully and calmly and they respond with "no, you're wrong, your site is broken"

well at least it's concrete knowledge

WinterVines 20-Jul-20 08:58 AM
yeah
its good ot know
and i explained the whole situation and timeline
cos appearently dad didn't really tell her much of anything
but they seemed accepting of it that im moving
sues of the opinion that i should keep the house so that we have "somewhere for sure to come back to" when we come back here
but like, if i rent it out, we can't just drop by here lol. it would have to be empty and we'd have to take it out of renter status
and that may mean kicking someone out. id sooner sell. but told them i hadn't decided yet

yeah, thats generally how it goes. youre too good at your job haha
also i brouht up like traveling and visiting and stuff
and immediately both of them asked how long and tha they said they're doing first class
and im like, youre about to be rich, ou pay for your own damn tickets then (edited)
like, it wasn't an oh, thats a nice thought, to pay for people to come see you sometimes
it was a "we're taking advantage of this and only want to do it if we have no inconvenience at all"

but I just don't get it
I don't understand
Avatar
WinterVines 20-Jul-20 09:09 AM
yeah
like it'd be one thing if they were still super poor or w/e
or didn't have sapce
but they literally have a ton of space
and i get wanting to downsize and clean up
but whats a couple boxes in a closet for a little while?
so fuck it, we'll do it ourselves!
i am moderately confident we can do that just fine haha
kassidy said she would store stuff for us if she had space/knew where they were going to be in a few years
but with coast guard you dont really get to choose. you get to put prefernces but ultimately its up to the coast guard
also it sounds like dads wedding was like 10k (edited)
and imo thats still too much!

ChainReaction01 20-Jul-20 09:16 AM
we'll manage everything, I'm not concerned about it. and yeah when I went out for dinner with my family last week mum was like "I know it's not any of my business but I hope there'll be a church wedding" and my response was "you're right mum, I love you but it's not any of your business, at least not yet. I'd love a church wedding but my priority is doing whatever is necesary to secure permission for her to live here, if that means a quickie courthouse wedding followed by more of a ceremony later on down the track I have no issues with that and I hope you don't either"
also I'm prob going to be a bit quiet for this morning I'm afraid, gotta train the newbie for an hour-ish and I probably shouldn't be opening discord during that XD

I think so. it's a really complex job and sophie is a quiet person so it's hard to tell when she is feeling overwhelmed but I think it was okay. I reassured her that we're going to have at least three or four more sessions before I start quizzing her, let alone asking her to actually do stuff, and she responded positively to that
it doesn't help that I suck at reading social cues, especially from women ._.

and i told my dad the caps he picked out for the bolts looked too small

i didn't think i had an extra long toilet seat
cos i remember dad complaining that i should get one
but apparently it already is, or at least closer to it
the bolts just look gross
cos of the metal rust and sweat from the porcelain
so it looks dirty
so i wanna cover that up like its supposed to look
and then fix the trim. and i think thos elittle changes will help the bathroom a lot

yeah I really hate it when you have to keep a car alive like that, my old one pulled those tricks occasionally
and like sometimes when I go on long drives the tank gets down to fumes, that's similarly nerve wracking
I suppose the silver lining here is the car decided to play up during a period you have some time to deal with it

tbh if you just wanna do a batle i dont really think jobs are for you

the body is just a machine
if you press the right buttons, soemtimes no matter the siutation it will have that outcome, desired or not
its why so many women dont speak up

I wouldn't expect it to be a problem, no. just as long as you're fine with it. I would rather be able to do something on my end, it's my stuff that gets us in trouble. it's just a pity there aren't really any options beyond condoms (which supposedly blunt the fun a bit) and just getting the snip

WinterVines 21-Jul-20 01:22 PM
yeah. i know here, funding for male contraceptive shots was like cut or w/e
cos the people who voted it down believed that was a woman's responsibliity

who was it who said they might be able to store a little bit? I did a bit more looking last night and I'm thinking it's probably best to leave the chest there if possible, just until we know whether we'll be staying in aus or not. because it'd suck to pay like 1.5k in AUS if we're just going to move to the US a couple of years later, and I'm fairly sure that everything else you want to bring could probably fit in suitcases and everything I read says when relocating between countries it's easiest and cheapest to just pay for extra suitcases

dad might take the cedar chest
the problem is that sue, things like art supplies and clothes and a frew journals could go in suitcases
but im nervous about the electronics and breakables and stuff
thats good to know tho. not that i have suitcases
nor a scale to make sure they're not over weight
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Jul-20 10:31 AM
tbh, electronics and breakables would probably be safer in suitcases, packed with like clothes and stuff, rather than in a crate or whatever
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Jul-20 10:32 AM
i dont think any of the breakables will survive if they go in asuitcase
not when ive seen what happens to them on flights
breakables there is no good answer for i dont think
and my large pictures may also be a lost cause
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Jul-20 10:35 AM
if you wrap breakables in like shirts and stuff I really don't think much of it would get broken. large pictures might be tricky, I'm still looking into that. planes might be able to accomodate, they sometimes do with weird shapes stuff like surfboards and musical instruments and etc

WinterVines 23-Jul-20 10:35 AM
thers no way i could carry it all unfort
im gonna hve to trash or store it i think

okay, back to crates then

WinterVines 23-Jul-20 10:36 AM

well mel brought up the other day
that you looked very tired and exhausted
and basically implied if i was making you get up too much that maybe i should tell you to sleep
and i dont think she meant it that way really
but thats kinda how it came across
and i told her i had been getting up more lately instead and that you were gonna ask about tiredness at the doc's
she realy noticed on the weekend d&d i think
she didn't really seem that convinced when i said your doc says thats the type of flu going around
and idk, like i said, she prob meant nothing by it
but i felt put on the spot like it was my fault
and your health is one of my priorities
so i dont want you to do stuff if oure tired, even if thats less time together. or ill just get up instead or whatnot, to make it better
i dont want to be a negative impact on you in any way. not again

ChainReaction01 23-Jul-20 12:13 PM
I see. well for what it's worth I've never felt fatigued by getting up to spend time with you. I'm strong enough that if I felt too tired to get up I would tell you
you are a source of strength for me, not anything else
if anything, I'm tired and stressed by work and nothing able to fuckin masturbate properly
also she might have read tiredness where actually I just wasn't super keen on what was going down in cam's campaign, which I've already vented to you about

WinterVines 23-Jul-20 01:54 PM
well i have hamburger and salad and taco stuff and some veggies
im kinda craving a salad so maybe ill do a burger
altho ill prob make an omlete for breakfast again. i think ive mastered the art of small pan 1 egg omelete with a lot of stuff in it

that's a cool skill to have. and yes I vote burger

WinterVines 23-Jul-20 02:03 PM
i mean ill need to do something for lunch too! or dinner if i have the burger for lunch
unless i only eat twice. sometimes that happens

it happens for me too sometimes. although not very often

WinterVines 23-Jul-20 02:04 PM
yeah, i try not too
but sometimes i just dont feel liek it
or i forget
i dont think ive not eaten out of guilt yet
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Jul-20 02:04 PM
good, if you ever try that I will be very unimpressed
sometimes if I have a big lunch I don't have dinner
or if I have a big breakfast I'll skip lunch
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Jul-20 02:05 PM
yah, or a later breakfast
later breakfast usually leads to earlier dinner so i end up eating twice only
man i do wish i was there tho
i dont wanna do all the work leading up to sometimes. but i want the end result

Avatar
WinterVines 23-Jul-20 02:14 PM
or they remove all travel under any circumstance
to contain or whatever
it just needs to dull enough to allow this
like, get you here or get me there
and then after that do what you will but i hate being separated
the two docs at the clinic expressed being sorry for me too
cos of the corona

money is useful for shipping stuff at least

and we have time, it doesn't need to be done tomorrow
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Jul-20 02:53 PM
i think its the part ofme that does want it done early lke tomorrow that im fighting with
honestly it could be done earlyish once we have vague plans
like once we know for corona and passport, it can kinda be done at any time
since youre not leaving your current rental
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Jul-20 02:55 PM
depends on what the lawyer says with corona and stuff being a potential impediment, but you're not wrong
like we said though, one step at a time
trying to bite off more than we can chew at once will have bad results
sorting stuff and gradually fixing up the house and etc is great
any more isn't necessary rn I don't think
don't want you to burn out

A well-build mythology can drive stories and create a fantastic world. Unfortunately, D&D doesn’t provide such a mythology. But you can make your own if you understand thematic conflict.

well that's not the case. you're currently on vacation from a stressful job, and your vacation hasn't even been that restful. you're having to fix up a house and pack up most of your stuff. and then you also have to keep a husband happy and entertained. where in all of that is the time and energy required to also be professionally creative

idk either, to be honest with you, but then I'm not a creative. ebooks are perhaps the only thing I can really think of. you can make some money off ads you run on your site, but that requires people visiting it and that they're not running ad blockers
ghostwriting stuff is cool! but idk how to break into that

well it was used fo ryears, like posted up in the schools and everything
but the bottom huge layer is all carbs
breads, grains etc
so it was posed as incorrect later so i heard
like no wonder america is fat
misled for a few generations

oh that's interesting. yeah I think we had like the same thing. I'm guessing vegies should probably be on the bottom
Avatar
WinterVines 26-Jul-20 08:18 AM
yeah
something like that
it could also be a ploy to like help wheat farmers out and stuff
also carbs tend to be cheaper
in a nation that struggles to feed their kids if they dont get sent ot school
as we found out during corona

as a sort of like cheer her up kind of gesture
that ill bring to kassidy tomorrow

that's a great idea!
show her that it's not just family who loves her kinda thing
Avatar
WinterVines 28-Jul-20 08:51 AM
cos shes into anime and art stuff and all that
i mean, she doesn't know me super well either
but its a nice gesture anyway, or at least i hope so

WinterVines 28-Jul-20 08:52 AM
i threw a bunch fo things in there. lots of diferent papers, notebooks, pastels, colored pencils, some markers, watercolor, paints, shiny pens in different varieties
and bringing them my drafting table with the stool
cos kassidy said they could use it. so she'd have a table to work on too

WinterVines 28-Jul-20 08:53 AM
yeah its basically one girl who's the bully
she apparenty told bella that she's gonna make everyone hate her this year or something
and she has an awful parent. kassidy said her mom is also a coast guard wife
and she's just atrocious.
so i hope this helps her a little bit

ChainReaction01 28-Jul-20 08:55 AM
it's the worst when the parents can't be dealt with
a couple of mine at least stopped when the school talked to them
yeah, me too
Avatar
WinterVines 28-Jul-20 08:55 AM
yeah, and cos she's going into middle school this year, they can't even alert the school yet
cos they're technically not in school
but they're still in communication with that whole group cos they obviously went to school together
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Jul-20 08:58 AM
well Bella's taken the right first step, she's talked to her support base about the feelings she's had
now Kassidy can keep an eye on her and help her out

but a plan is in the works to, instead of doing main rp and individual rp, have the areas/zones be the subforums instead
and then just have threads in those areas, kind alike how morphic does. and people can say if their run is open or not for others to crossover for a little while
so we could be marked private and dwouldn't have to run into others
cos palace is packed af atm

its literally like fluid stress into your veins that preps your body to fight or run
and it does lasting damage if you're in that kind of sencario all the time
affects things like mood, empathy, sexual desire, all of it
cos it literally is prepping your body to kill or be killed sort of primal thing
it also compromises your immune system

generally speaking, this is a very cooperative and supportive workplace, I actually do like being here. it's just lately they're relying on me more than I think is fair

no I had a meeting with them about.... nine, ten months ago where I told them all about how I was feeling unhappy and unfulfilled and being pushed into a role that I didn't want. their official response was "we understand you're unhappy and this is just a temporary period of instability while the new system finds its feet. just give us six months; after that, we'll find you more interesting things to do". and I was like "sure, you have been more than generous to me over the last six years, I'm happy to wait that long." and I even waited longer, I gave them like eight. now I'm just tired of waiting haha so I'ma bum around and take my time to do shit

I've got nothing against staying in this company for the long haul. they just have to make an effort to keep me. like four-ish years ago where I was cnsidering leaving so they gave me a private parking space and paid for me to study a diploma of leadership and management
which I realise now was one hell of a dead-end bait

I genuinely believe there's no point to another discussion. because the IT job market is so bad right now that I don't have anywhere to go
also I've been submitting official reports and documents and stuff and just getting no responses back at all

what about you, how was your day?
Avatar
WinterVines 29-Jul-20 09:14 AM
not as quick as yesterday lol
got delayed by like a half hour leaving
so before i left on vacation, the food warehouse sent us expired product (edited)
it was too late to call and it was a weekend so nobody was gonna be there. so i looked up the official corporate-recently-given email to send them the photos and ask for the credit
liek i was supposed to
email bounced back, saying its not valid. double check address. its what they put on the sheet im like huh, thats weird. so jaime, our FCOM, te cafe field operations manager (head of cafe stuff in our region basically), had an email that said if we were having problems with credits, email this address instead. so i did htat
went on vacation
came back, scott said that a lady responded to my credit email, bitching that they did NOT do credits and to gtfo basically
and scott doesn't care for any of that, so he immediately forwarded it to the FCOM
and FCOM was like no, they need to do that. thats what they do. involve me if you continue to have problems
and apparently jeff received expired product last week when i was gone too
so now i have to try to find time to call the food place and try to get a credit for the old thing plus the new thing which i dont have photo evidence for
plus maybe something they will send tomorrow
but i am MOD thursday and friday, not cafe
and they aren't there on Sat
and if i wait any longer it'll be like 4 weeks from the incident
so thats a pain in my ass. the first credit took a phone call and he was nice and said yeah, email me the stuff and ill take care of it. ezpz.
but jfc, try to follow the correct channels corporate outlines and immediately get jumped on and it gets 10x more complicated
Avatar
ChainReaction01 29-Jul-20 09:19 AM
but of course. because in corporations the first goal is to cover one's own arse. especially when protocol has been followed because their own arse is even more at risk then

WinterVines 29-Jul-20 09:20 AM
yeah. its so stupid. everythin gis always a hassle with this company
or its late
or we dont have the correct signage, items, etc
like with every single thing
there's this huge sale thing thats going on this weekend
and in the latest update they wer eliek yeah, the signs are confirmed not gonna be there in time for hte saleto star, so just improvise!
like.... wat? ths is a huge deal and you're telling stores to wing it? you could't have made sure all the signage and stickers for pricing and stuff weren't there on time FIRST?
sigh, so that just drains me. like, i dontwanna deal with this shit

well that would point to the implant working then
it probably happens in stages, like stopping the bleeding to start with, and then moving to repressing more hormonal stuff later or whatever
Avatar
WinterVines 29-Jul-20 12:33 PM
its the opposite i think
cos the hormones affect whether bleeding happens
if you dont ovulate, you dont bleed
you only bleed cos you're rejecting an egg that didnt' get fertlized
co the lining builds up and then needs to be shed

yeah. i tend to dread it beforehand but once im there i have to be there, you know? especially because the other manager is kinda useless
i took a customer phone call and she was on the floor and we were both MOD, but because i was on the phone, breaks got behind cos she doesn't pay atention to them
and she was supposed to be doing hourly handwashing + surface wipedown
and it hadn't been done AT ALL until i got there, liek announcement wise. im sure ppl still wipe down stuff without the reminder
also, she was in charge fo adjusting all the breaks and stuff in th emorning as MOD, and she put a bunch together
its like, i can't cover cafe and be on break at the same time, and someone has to be on the floor
its like she just doesn't understand how to be maanger after months and months
like, im not even MOD hardly ever

and you shouldn't feel dumb, this is low-level networking shit here
even I'm not 100% on it and it's my bloody industry
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:51 PM
so how would that block a site like that? like how does that occur and how do you fix it?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:52 PM
okay, I don't guarantee that this is correct, but basically my understanding is that whenever you try to go to a particular website, your computer asks your router "I wanna go to Wikipedia, what IP address is that under" and it goes "let me find out" and spams every connected server until it hits a DNS server, which then replies with "go to 129.12.3.105:25535" or whatever
as for how to fix it, that's a very good question
it was something I did in university a decade ago and just barely passed the practical so I doubt I could do it these days
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:53 PM
so it can't find the urpg name basically?
internet code name anyywa
so it wont connect to it?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:53 PM
basically. that's my guess
it usually happens because of a block or corrupted data
and it needs to be flushed by the owner of the server
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:54 PM
so in this case, k'sariya?
even tho hes the only person having issues?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:54 PM
no, whoever owns the DNS server that alyx is pinging
which could be almost literally anyone
alyx could try clearing their cache and hoping that they hit a different DNS server
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:55 PM
oh, like, not your internet serice
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:55 PM
not necessarily no. it is possible, lots of internet services have their own DNS servers, but it's not guaranteed
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:55 PM
cos teh cache would just try to connect to something its used before right? to speed it up/etc
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:55 PM
exactly
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:55 PM
so it might work cos it might search and ping some differnet DNS, which could be a different one than the one he used before
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 12:56 PM
exactly. it's like going to a store and asking for watermelons and so the server goes out back and sees none and tells you there are none. if the next person in line asks the same server they'll prbably say no. but if they ask a different server that server will go check and maybe there will actually be some watermelons now

WinterVines 31-Jul-20 12:57 PM
okay. i feel slightly less dumb now
i had the thought today
thatyou are very much a paladin
it doesnt' mean you always have pure, good thoughts
but you do good and inspire others to do good
like, i didn't necessarily need someone to swoop in and save me
but i did need someone who helped me see i had strength to do it myself and help me up when i tripped
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Jul-20 01:02 PM
hm, that is an interesting thought to have. I like it a lot! I definitely don't only have pure and good thoughts XD but it's true that you don't have to be 100% righteous all the time to make a positive impact on the universe

fair. also parents try harder with the eldest from what ive seen
things my dad got in trouble for growing up they let the youngest of 4 do no problem
so maybe they ingrained that more into you but chilled out after that
idk did they ever have that kind of talk with you? like they had to have with ethan? maybe thats the difference
cos like mine never said anything about any of that stuff

WinterVines 31-Jul-20 02:17 PM
it also depends on the othe rpersons immunity to it too
but like a cat cry, we're programmed to wanna help it
its a parental/human emotion
to want to help and care for others
that most people have
so someone can trigger that with or without trying
its really almost an impulsive response. we can't help it, and some of them probably can't either

haha I want all the time with you that I can get! but I think my manager wants to speak with me at some point in the afternoon so I'll be pulled away eventually. and you do need sleep at some point. still, if you work earlier that means you'll be around when I wake up yeah? and I do have to go around to my family's place tomorrow afternoon, Ethan wants to play cards

since i have to work extremely early on my own sunday

it's not 100% her fault, bandwidth has decreased across the entire company (bar software) so she doesn't really have any alternatives. just kinda shits me when she spends ten minutes laughing her way through a conversation in Finance when it's actually like two questions which could be asked and answered in thirty seconds

but the teacher should know they can't cope at this level

he was scared tho.the mouse (edited)
but he lived
unless he comes back. vergil had gotten to the first one and had been playing with it for hours by the time i woke up last time
i think what i heard had been teh squeaking
i felt better that it lived this time
even tho it freaked me out and i didn't want to deal with it
and im worried about it coming back in
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Aug-20 10:32 AM
I get where you're coming from there, I always try to do catch and releases where possible. generally I find they don't come back in cos they know there's a predator there
easier to try the house next door lol
but good on you for dealing with it that late (edited)

WinterVines 05-Aug-20 10:35 AM
very sleepy too. i was very jumpy
cos i didn't want to touch it
disease, etc
glad the cats hae their shots. the first mouse vergi hadn't yet ;x
and he'd chewed on it a while, so i was worried about that. but this little guy looked okay. no bleeding
i hope ta it doesn't come back. theres a big gap under the door leading to thebasement that wont ever be fixed unless they redo the entire floor and level it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 05-Aug-20 10:38 AM
I'm very sure it won't, it knows there's a pro-tier hunter living in the house
in fact I read somewhere that some pests teach others to avoid places of danger so your catch and release might keep others away too

we had a homless dude hanging otu right

you can teach me about coffee! I was never really allowed to have any growing up, like even when I was 20+ mum was like "you don't need coffee, don't have any" so I was like "aight whatever"

it might have been nice to share a coffee with a parent though. like that's supposed to be a rite of passage here, drinking a beer with them kinda

in many ways I think it's more impressive to drink coffee in different ways
like "oh, you only like strong black or white frapped crappuchinos, what a hero you are"
vs "I'm not fussed, I'll have whatever is going"

its that excitement at the unknown sort of thing
like simiar to adrenaline junkies
Avatar
ChainReaction01 07-Aug-20 01:15 PM
I guess that makes sense. just seems weird that the unknown is whether you'll get hit or not
like surely the excitement of the unknown could be like what the other person is wearing or which position they're going to want to use. why does pain have to be a part of it

no idea
maybe its for people who feel too safe

ideas that aren't used will pop up elsewhere. no thought is a wasted thought
if you think about it and jot stuff down, maybe it will coalesce into something you defintely do want to put out
even if it's just like a short story or some artwork or something

yeahh i think in person would be best for htis
because like its so much
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:23 AM
yeah exactly
but okay so here's my story
in short
I have urgent stuff and long-term stuff right? and all of my attention is on the urgent stuff
because I don't have time to pay attenton to the long-term stuff. I have literally ten requests from people that are like one month and older
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Aug-20 11:24 AM
yikes, and those month old ones are urgent?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:25 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 11-Aug-20 11:25 AM
no, not at all
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:26 AM
so one of these is a report request from a TAFE client, about two weeks old. middle of last week, the guys calls up to see where it is. bree just happens to catch the call and has to deal with an unhappy guy. afterwards she asks me where it's at and I go "halfway through my long-term pile, so I'm expecting to get to it in october"
no comment, our lives go on
yesterday, the dude calls back again and is really unhappy again. and bree just happens to have to deal with him again. after having to deal with him, she basically runs off and goes around asking for people to cover time tomorrow so I can work on it. and then she tells me eysterday afternoon "oh good news, I've managed to find some time for you to work on long-term stuff tomorrow"
my response; "ok"

WinterVines 11-Aug-20 11:28 AM

ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:28 AM
she was expecting me to be all grateful and thankful and I'm like "well no, I'm nt going to be particularly thankful that you've managed to find me some time for me to actually do my job. also, this is like the third time I've heard it and it hasn't happened yet"
but she's like "no, I will take support tomorrow so you can do long-term stuff all day"

ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:29 AM

but here's the thing
she didn't take the urgent stuff I already had built up
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Aug-20 11:29 AM
right, so that takes priorit
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:29 AM
right. and I've still had to field like ten phone calls today because she's not at her desk
so here I am, 11:30, still haven't started the long-term report because I'm still doing urgent stuff
I'm not mad, just amused XD
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Aug-20 11:30 AM
yeah lol. like, if she doesn't take suport and ALSO do her job, you still can't get to it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:30 AM
exactly
but if I don't try my hardest she'll be like "what did you do all day while I was handling support" and that's going to escalate somewhere I don't really want it to go
because my response will be some combination of "you didn't handle it well enough" and "I was messaging my fiance because this job is currently toxic"

Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Aug-20 11:48 AM
yeah. and sure the calls aren't constant, but it's not about constancy, it's that I can't do anything hyper-technical while the possibility is there. being arse-deep in a datbase and then having to come out to talk basic shit causes a lot of errors to occur in the technical work
it's exactly why we're not allowed to bother software people directly

eh I'm mostly okay where I am tbh. it's been a rough year but that's to be expected with a new system launch and everything. if I was to stay in this company for the rest of my life that wouldn't bother me at all, provided I had external happiness
I've always known I could live the wageslave lifestyle. I'd rather focus on you because you need freedom flexibility more (edited)

like i figured id have to eat at 3 cos kassidy would leave at 330

thats just how manager shifts will be when theres only two people for the day
like from now on, since these are our new perma hours
and fsr managers have to come in at 7 when we open at 9, even tho tehres fuckall to do in the morning now

when does your shift start then?
Avatar
WinterVines 12-Aug-20 01:48 PM
but like theres certain things as manager that you need to physically go up to the register to do
so you'd have to interrup tbreak all the time anyway. plus theyre not gonna give us morepeople anyway
so the staffing will look the same too
1230 to 9
open til 8
so i have to leave the house at noon
and its not fun to cram two meals in befor enoon anyway. im usually not hungry enough

ChainReaction01 12-Aug-20 01:50 PM
yeah you don't really want to do that. idk, protein balls or snack bars?
Avatar
WinterVines 12-Aug-20 01:50 PM
maybe. but if i dont get a break, can't eat them anyway lol
cos they've also been doing lunch at 3, both 15s later in the day
cos you can't cram a 15 and a 30 in the first 3hrs of your shift

doesn't seem like there are any good solutions then

Avatar
WinterVines 13-Aug-20 01:05 PM
i was thinking about this tho
even if it does come say tomorrow
which was 7 weeks btw today
due to corona, it might be better to do the offsite fiance visa. if travel isn't gonna open up anyway. longer wait, butit might be the same in the end. and that way it woudl let me sell the house and stuff ahead of time without looking fishy
cos i can't crate things over to you either on the visitor visa or early. cos that woudl look fishy for sure. and then we'd have to float the house for several months on top of that ;/
unless the lawyer thinks that we'd be allowed to travel back here shortly after eloping i guess
but we'd stll have to float the house
unless she knows magic things haha. im trying to arrange the pieces in my head and they just wont line up
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Aug-20 01:11 PM
honestly I've had similar thoughts
it really all depends on when tourism travel opens back up
and no fuckin clue when that is
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Aug-20 01:12 PM
just the thought of having to wait at least a year, maybe closer to two, just shatters my spirit though
but if tourist travel doesn't open up, i dont get to see you anywya
and tourist might open for you
but hey may ban the US, like others have done
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Aug-20 01:14 PM
yeah I really really don't like the idea either, which is why I haven't brought it up. but its an option to keep in mind. and I've been hearing about vaccines being tested successfully lately so we might be closer to the end than we think
idk, its hard to think about. esp when I have a pounding headache
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Aug-20 01:15 PM
depending on how much supply they have i guess and if they require it for travel or not
but yeah, we dont need to thnk about it now
i just really wanna be out of here lol

ah, so maybe a no-go on the cream
or maybe its acting out cos it doesn't like the doule up
ive heard thatcan happen. sort of like mixing cleaning chemicals
did they start you on that new project?
also ive been using that peppermint oil and i think it warded off a headache today
might work to help you stay a little less stressed too

I mean, if there's any docments I don't have, I wouldn't know how to get them XD thank god that lots of stuff these days (like work payment, health insurance, etc) is sent directly to the tax authority. I only really have to go through an accountant because of the apartment

WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:00 AM
that must be nice. none of that is sent to ours. we have to do our own cos if we mess up it gives the gov a reason to fine us even more XD

you know how you asked if there were other mons on the islands in morphic?
some of the area descriptions imply that maybe there is
but i dont actually knwo for usre
i shoudl maybe ask
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:34 AM
I'm curious, like surely there are things to do that aren't just talking with each other
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:34 AM
no wild mons that we know if, evan says
well i mean sometimes like items and megastones and things wash up
and peopel fight for them
but im thinking we have to create our own conflict
if its not arbiter driven
and atm i think theres only two arbiters and they're kinda on a mini haitus
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:41 AM
that's kinda boring tbh. like maybe no NPC mons, I get that, but I feel like there should be basic animals or monsters or something we can fight
otherwise, I can't really blame people for being boring cos there's nothing to do but sit around and jack each other off
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:42 AM
yeah. the problem is more arbiters are needed or more fights and stuff to judge
cos you can battle over stuff and whatnot, but i dont think a lot of things have happened yet
its still a relatively young section
im like causaly insterested in being one to start events and sthings
but at the same time i feel its a very guarded job/section still
and nto super accessable
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:44 AM
I would be very interested in being involved to make the section a bit more dynamic. problem is that then you can't really be as involved yourself in many ways
it's such a cool idea, but it's really just a blank canvas right now
or one of those fill in the colours things
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:45 AM
yeah
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:45 AM
sure, I could fill in the colours. but that gets boring real quick
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:45 AM
it hasn't fully grown yet
and youre right. i dont want to dedicate a ton of tiem to it
when i could devote that energy to my own universes
and as arbiter youre like the DM
altho you participate to a certain extent
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:46 AM
yeah entirely fair. although you can't give 100% to your own stuff, you need to spend time out of them too because that's how you get fresh ideas and recover your creative energy
DMs get to participate but they don't get much in the way of 'rewards'
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:46 AM
yeah, can't always live in your own head
yeah, they dont get the same rewards and the workload is more
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:46 AM
which is fine for D&D but in a community like this, it's fair to want compensation for your time
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:46 AM
yeah
since its a game within a game
so one needs to advance the other
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:50 AM
the trouble being that arbiters would be tempted to use their status to be more involved for more rewards
Avatar
WinterVines 18-Aug-20 11:51 AM
or lose motivation for arbiting if they dont get rewards that match the time and effort they have to put in
Avatar
ChainReaction01 18-Aug-20 11:54 AM
yeah. it's a tricky line to walk for sure. but I'd be interested in shaking things up a little bit

ChainReaction01 19-Aug-20 12:01 PM
that's the hope. because it's practically impossible to train someone how to tech support. it's not like you can run them through a course of everything you need to know. it's more like teaching them individual tools and processes and then hoping they understand how and when to fit them together
Avatar
WinterVines 19-Aug-20 12:01 PM
yeah, thts why support is so hard
you're just given tools but you gotta figure out which way to use them

and then new systems get released with literally zero support tools - I couldn't even search for users in the first month

WinterVines 19-Aug-20 12:49 PM
well deserving has nothing to do with any of it for one thing
cos thats what got us into trouble in teh first place
i think you really should think about taking a vacation
ive felt some of that same negativity though
mel messaged me the other day an dill admit i was a little shorter with her/not very chatty than maybe i shoudl have been
but im annoyed at her still for making me feel bad about talking to you i think. like she was reminding me of how i dont feel im enough and all that
and i dont like feeling guilty about talking to you
Avatar
ChainReaction01 19-Aug-20 12:50 PM
yeah understandable. you never should feel that.
she was just worried that I was overdoing it. which to be fair is absolutely a thing I would do
Avatar
WinterVines 19-Aug-20 12:51 PM
and i know that
but to me it was still accusatory and put me even more in outsider status
like i have to jump through hoops and prove im worthy before im allowed to date you or w/e sort of thing
so im still a bit more off put by it
and honestly its probably also the reason why i dont want you to get up as often and things too

ChainReaction01 19-Aug-20 12:52 PM
I'm 100% sure she didn't mean it that way at all but I understand what it's like to feel things that aren't necessarily true

me neither. stuff has tripped in certain rooms for me before but it's always because of something particularly new, like a toaster or an electric kettle or something. I wouldn't think that merely running FFXIV would be such a power drain that it'd trip an entire room

cos if they go 6 months being laid off
thats it
they either have to be hired back by then or they're fired

they take kids and under-pay them because it's a "traineeship" even though they never actually train people and the certificates come like eight months late. and keep them on the "trainee" pay while subtly telling the workers to keep their mouths shut if they want to keep working. and then if anyone actually does anything about it they just say "oh our bad, must have been overlooked, we'll fix it right now" and give the person all of their back pay followed by immediately tarnishing their reviews and building up all the tiniest little things so they can fire them asap

thats probably true
how much of your time off is it gonna eat up?
and does it cut into your long term leave or w/e its called?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 21-Aug-20 12:17 PM
ah it's not too bad I suppose, and no it doesn't affect my long service leace. they basically don't want me to have much more than four weeks stored up. I told them that I might need a bit more than that for next year, because overseas fiance, getting married, etc and they said that's fine, they just don't want me to start 2021 with more than four weeks saved up. which is fair. and honestly I do have a lot, like even counting the two weeks I hae to take over christmas, I have another eleven days to burn to drop down to four weeks saved. so I was like fuck it, you said I needed a holiday so I've arranged to take a week and a half off in november so I can play the new destiny expansion and cyberpunk when it comes out. even with that I still have like four days to burn but I asked if I could just take them here and there whenever you have days off and they said that would be fine (edited)

which is utterly unacceptable. I'm sure he does love you very much but I imagine it's hard to balance that with the wants of his wife and her children
not to excuse him in any way

we both had growing to do and it needed to be done separately, I think
we're together now and that's all I care about. keeping us that way forever

WinterVines 21-Aug-20 12:52 PM
yeah, different sort of growing
now i think we can grow together
but needed some solo stuff

what did you eat with sugar in it?
Avatar
WinterVines 21-Aug-20 12:55 PM
my sugar got kinda low earlier so i had a cookie split up over my 3 breaks
brb a min
Avatar
ChainReaction01 21-Aug-20 12:56 PM
that wouldn't be too much sugar though surely. can you just have like a bagel to start with and see from there?
Avatar
WinterVines 21-Aug-20 01:05 PM
i got a bowl of cereal
like, this is america tho
so you gotta remember theres a ton of sugar in everything
like there was this thing i read. how long ago, in order to pass some FDA thing, they had to take out something that gave flavor cos it didn't pass like the nutritionals. so the substituted a sugar thing instead
and now thats standard. so all our food as a fuckton of sugar in it
okay, im gonna boot upff14. lets see if three days in a row the breaker quits. if i go absent for a little bit, thats prob why
Avatar
ChainReaction01 21-Aug-20 01:13 PM
I have heard the high fructose stuff or whatever. imagine if you move down here and then lose a ton of weight because there's not as much sugar in our food

if it happens again you could try asking him, although I think currents and stuff are different in the US
Avatar
WinterVines 21-Aug-20 01:14 PM
then gain idk how different AUS and US electrics are
the base principles shoudl be the same tho you would think
like, you guys have breakers i assume
Avatar
ChainReaction01 21-Aug-20 01:15 PM
oh yeah the basic principles would be the same but the specifics -like wattage or amperage or whatever it is - would be different
Avatar
WinterVines 21-Aug-20 01:15 PM
i dont think this is a specifics kind of issue
dad seemed to think i could swap out the breaker with a higher watt one and it shoudl work fine
but im nto sure of the legitimacy or how easy that actually is
cos he swapped out a breaker in his house for sue's kiln i think
and that went fine. but this breaker i took a look at, its one typ but it has like an extender or addition to it
its hte only breaker like that in the box
so i was super confused haha

Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:27 PM
so my choices are to keep playing and just getting up every time it pops, which i have to believe is probably bad for the breaker/unsafe
stop playing
try to move to the bedroom but that requirse running cable on the ceiling all the way to teh other side of the house
but if its also a 15 watt breaker, which i think it is, it might not matter
could be the power supply
which im not gonna update/etc cos why
it could also be a bad breaker
i could also upgrade the breaker
but i dont know if thats an investment worth doing if im leaving soon
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:28 PM
depends how much it'd cost I'd say
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:28 PM
a couple hundred on the low end
and thats not even guaranteed to solve the problem
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:29 PM
hmm alright. it could be the power supply in the PC but I wouldn't have thought so. maybe alex/adam would know more
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:30 PM
yeah. it might be a bad breaker. idk if they got someone qualified to do the wiring. just thta its been redone recently
maybe the breaker is bad. cos my uncle had to replace an outlet upstairs when i first moved in that had scorched
and my kitchen light flickers sometimes
which an be a sign of breaker going bad. the microwave kicks that same breaker off to
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:30 PM
it could be that, then. how much would it cost to get a new breaker?
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:30 PM
tho it did that at my old apartment too
that was the few hundred
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:30 PM
oh okay
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:30 PM
cos thats not something i know how to do
he could swap the beaker, and depending on cost, upgrade to 20 watt instead of 15. most breakers are only 15
except in kitchen/laundry
cos theres so much that draws on it. those are 20
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:31 PM
makes sense
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:31 PM
but it requires different wiring. you can't just swap the breaker out. i hope dad knew that
cos it can start electrical fire

idk I really wouldnt have thought that a laptop, a desktop, a tv and a couple of others things would continually cause shorts

WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:32 PM

esp after i unplugged the laptop entirely
and the TV
and the switch
so it was just the internet, the vinyl player, and the computer

ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:32 PM
jesus so it's basically just the desktop at this point
I find it very implausible that the desktop would draw that much power

ChainReaction01 23-Aug-20 12:33 PM
maybe it is the power supply then

WinterVines 23-Aug-20 12:33 PM
altho beem said his PC works a little harder on ff14 too
but it shouldn't be THAT much
power supply is new tho. or at least new when it was made
we had to order that one
which was oly like what, 3 years ago?

it's not okay at all, but there's not much advice I can give I'm afraid. you could look at getting a new/better breaker and consider it a selling investment, idk

like i can feel it pretty easily. and thats good. if i ca'nt feel it anymore it means it went too deep and it has to come out haha

yeah. as long as you can feel it in some way I think it's probably fine. it's only if you can't locate it at all that we need to be worried

WinterVines 25-Aug-20 11:56 AM
yeah
its hormonal so it shoudl be working
i mean it obivously changed the pattern of the rag so it did something
im falling out of urpg a little i think as people get more busy
not as much going on
so maybe its a good time to start up the blog etc etc
also things in theory going smoother at work. we got two more of the crew back today who knew cafe so that was great

WinterVines 25-Aug-20 12:10 PM
yeah its bold kind of thing. i think im drawn to it rn cos im so annoyed with it being in my face all the time

but i can't function like at work

I wonder how that would go without meat + cheese
(like for me obv)
Avatar
WinterVines 26-Aug-20 09:15 AM
probably would be fine. its the taco seasoning that would be the hard part
but if yo mixed that in with say a sour cream
it woudl probably be fine!
and taco sauce instead of salad dressing (or you can use the western/french that a lot of people do)
cos you like all the other stuff in it right? liek the chip, lettuce, tomatoe, onion, peppers, black olvies?
some people put jalapenos in it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 26-Aug-20 09:17 AM
yeah I don't hate anything you've mentioned there. although I'm not huge on tomato and I'm not sure how I feel about black olivers
I'd be tempted to slip some cucumber and/or shredded carrot in there too

WinterVines 26-Aug-20 09:17 AM
i mean you can put whatever you want in it
i thnk you can also do taco "meat" out of like squash or zucchini or chickpeas or osmething too

yes but it also does you worse than no good to spin into a frenzy
if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say the best process is to find somewhere in duluth where you can get fingerprints done and then just submit it electronically without going to one of those 81 post offices. there's gotta be somewhere, even like a private firm or something if you don't want to go to a cop shop

ChainReaction01 27-Aug-20 09:50 AM
well then maybe consider taking a day to drive to minneapolis. that'd blow chunks but it would probably be the most reliable and quickest turnaround option. and if you're going to do it that way, seeing there's a 3-5 day turnaround, you don't have to organise it yet, you can just do it later on wheneevr we have a more reliable timeline-based gameplan

Hi Catherine, It has been a while since we last spoke. We hope you are doing well! I am writing to follow up on the discussion we began in early July, regarding what steps we need to take in order to apply for a Partner Visa for Kristy. As per our discussion, the first major blocker was that Kristy needed her passport renewed. I am ecstatic to inform you that she has now received her renewed passport, so we are ready to start discussing further steps. We are expecting that the COVID-19 pandemic might complicate this process, especially as we are still not sure whether to go with the onshore (elope) or offshore fiance visas. We'd welcome the opportunity to have another discussion with you, in order to set some more concrete plans and hopefully get an idea of what timelines we can expect. There are some other considerations in play as well, such as the ongoing pandemic in the US making it difficult for Kristy to access certain services and needing the manage the sale of her house. How should we proceed from here? We would like to come in and have another meeting, or put down a deposit on a retainer, or whatever is required. Do you have any time free next week, preferably on Friday morning? Looking forward to speaking with you again! James

yeah, I basically just have two weetbix and a glass of orange juice. I don't like eating more carbs but it would keep me getting hungry at work. I really should look at doing something with eggs but I just don't really like them that much
Avatar
WinterVines 27-Aug-20 12:49 PM
yeah you should probably eat a little more than you do, i would agree
you could do a potato for breakfast sometimes maybe
or something with peanut butter
do you like oatmeal?

I don't have it very often but that would b a good idea. an excuse to get calcium from the milk too. I do like peanut butter toast on occasion

ChainReaction01 27-Aug-20 12:54 PM
yeah I think so, I follow my routine far too closely. routine is good but the literal same thing day in and out is probably not that mentally stimulating
also if my body expects the same thing every day it probably won't change

was fine. with the extra tme the potatoes cooked enough and it didn't singe the sides too much.

Avatar
WinterVines 28-Aug-20 09:46 AM
okay, i just gotta go get my laundry
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Aug-20 09:46 AM
okay
but basically it's just a small scene for the party to have when on their way from the city they're in to a village. I basically want them to come to odds with a small group of bandits/adventurers for the purposes of a fight, but I want them to feel not 100% justified in the fight. like, it's not just "oh there are evil people, let's kill em" more like "these people are not fully in the right or in the wrong, it's up to us to decide what to do and we won't be fully right or wrong either way"
so my idea is, because they're in the area with that ring rot plague, they come across these bandits beating up on a dude while his wife and kid are watching in horror. my party will definitely want to put a stop to that but the people will be like "hey, this dude promised us <large amount of money> if we went and killed a <dangerous fey thing> to get a disease cure, we did that and he only paid <half?> of it before trying to skip town on us"
and the wife is like "please help us, they're going to take my son away" and the bandits are like "well yeah, you still owe us hundreds of gold pieces, we're going to have him scrub pots and learn to fix our armour. you can have him back in a few years once he's paid off the debt, think of it as an enforced apprenticeship"
trick being that the guy literally sold off his farm and most of his possessions to pay the people, he just couldn't get enough money but was desperate for his son to live
I figure this gives the party a few options; fight to save the son, but they're kinda imposing their will on these people in an unfair way if they do so. leave, which is perhaps the "Lawful" way of solving the problem, but then they might feel shitty about it (which is aces for me as the DM). or, they can offer to pay the debt, which is possibly the best ending, but I'll set the price high enough that it'll sting a little
thoughts? am I going in entirely the wrong direction perhaps?
Avatar
WinterVines 28-Aug-20 09:53 AM
i think thats cool
i like that the bandits want him to work to pay the debt cos thats fair
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Aug-20 09:54 AM
it is. and the area they're in is super anti-slavery but this isn't slavery, this is a debt that needs to be paid
Avatar
WinterVines 28-Aug-20 09:54 AM
not sure if i like the "sold the farm and couldn't get enough" bit cos then it makes the family less good in my eyes
cos like then that means he purposefully set a job up knowing he couldn't pay it
but still taking the reward
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Aug-20 09:54 AM
I'm thinking he couldn't get full value cos of the sickness in the area

WinterVines 28-Aug-20 09:54 AM
does someoen in the family have the ring rot?

ChainReaction01 28-Aug-20 09:55 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 28-Aug-20 09:55 AM
is it like a commuinity project or was it personal?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Aug-20 09:56 AM
I think it's just personal. like the father was so worried for his son that he did everything he could to get a cure, including promising a large payment to the bandits, like 800gp or whatever. cos maybe the farm got appraised a few years ago and it was valued at around that much. now, of course, it's less cos of the plague in the area
or some other reason, idk

actually I really lke that cos I do have plans to send the party to deal with a fae creature for a different objective anyway. maybe they stumble upon the corpses, and find like some signet rings or whatever. if they have them and give them to the bandits then they might kinda chill a little bit more
depending on the order that events happen

actually that's perfect, nereids in pathfinder have a shawl that contains their life force and its a bitch to replace if it gets taken. so these dudes stole one of those. gives a fun RP encounter to the party too, the nereid is probably going to be a bit shitty with people

Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Aug-20 09:16 AM
...yeah it would be my style to overwork. I'm working on that though, like I took time out for meditation last night instead of continuing my dive. helped a lot, I got to sleep relatively easily
and on a completely different topic, I think I might have almost figured out what was causing my pimples
cos it's quite good today and it has been the last few days
and the only thing I've done differently is not put any product in my hair at all
which would also explain why changing pillowcases was helping
like I was rubbing it into the pillowscases while sleeping and then it was getting onto my face and causing an allergic reaction or something
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Aug-20 09:17 AM
you know, thats a good point
medicines and makeup tend to do that kind of stuff a lot

ChainReaction01 31-Aug-20 09:18 AM

WinterVines 31-Aug-20 09:18 AM
so there was less residue on the cases when you changed them so often
Avatar
ChainReaction01 31-Aug-20 09:18 AM
yeah I think so
and it does make sense because I do have stupidly sensitive skin
so what that means is, if I wear product in my hair, I must shower before bed
I think
Avatar
WinterVines 31-Aug-20 09:19 AM
thats a good theory
its just like washing makeup off your face before bed
even if its just a quick wash of hair it would help
sometimes i just dunk my head under the tub faucet if i want to wash my hair only
sometimes its fun to logically try to solve something

oh so it's just a pile of food instead of like in a feeder? I feel like that's a good way to get it eaten too quickly

its in a feeder but it has to be a certain way cos they're dumb

ChainReaction01 31-Aug-20 10:22 AM
creatives generally don't like being pigeonholed like that
yeah exactly
heard it from a few authors, like matthew reilly and I think jim butcher
among others
but I can take refuge in it almost. like if 7-8 is "search for online banks" time, I don't feel as guilty on the time I spend on other things, like wind-down time or whatever

WinterVines 31-Aug-20 10:24 AM
thats fair
the time part is more valuable to you
whereas just the number of tasks is important tome, not when i do them

yep. it is important to track completion too but if I don't schedule myself I'll just work myself into the ground on things. which is not too good atm

like for instance in this game
you have to buy the different habitats for the mons yu recruit to live at
otherwise at he end of the adventure you oly get money and they can't join you
so i dont wanna progress in teh game til i buy more, cos then i can't keep the dudes i find along the way! but some of them are mega bucks lol

ChainReaction01 03-Sep-20 11:57 AM
very strongly agree with that statement. "improvements" and changes shouldn't be forced or bribed, they should be done because you yourself want to be better
and it can take a while to get there and that's okay
but eating a bit better is what I want to do rn so whatever lol

not changing just to make the other person like you better or w/e but good self improvement

Avatar
ChainReaction01 03-Sep-20 12:11 PM
yeah. they don't care that trainers and admins can't see student progression in bulk because they can do it individualy. "the requirement is serviced". except having to view all student progression individually takes a super long time, esp when the system is so slow that it's 8 seconds between page loads
like imagine trying to be a teacher looking at their class of 30 students. they have to search for each student, and then the unit, and they get to see one progression. then do it all another 29 times. that's fucked, a spreadsheet can show them everything with a single glance

oh yes, you are correct there. which is why it grates on me sometimes. and I know that the system being shit will eventually bite me in the rear, if only because we can't keep up with our competitors. but I guess what I've learned is to save my strength for the fights I can win. maybe I can't get them to make better reporting, but I can get them to fix this specific bug they didn't want to when I found it because now a client has reported it lol

4/5 from gen 1, 4/5 from gen 2, a few more from 3
math would line up

there could be some just powerful mons too or story relevant one, like the alakaam team maybe

ChainReaction01 04-Sep-20 09:05 AM
writing about them in short drabbles like this makes them more real. which makes using them in projects easier and they're more fully formed. at least I think
I find that NPCs in my campaigns are better if I write a few random crapolas about them

fair. games might have gotten in the way of my other passions early on but I think that's cos my parents kinda tried to keep me from them initially, but once they got me a console and saw that I was perfectly capable of managing myself they relaxed a bit
WoW, on the other hand, is designed to be addictive in a way that, like, super mario 64 and smash bros isn't

hahaha but of course! I've heard that jumping rope is pretty good exercise, yeah. the best exercises are supposedly ones that are stop and start, if it's just like a continual rhythm (like my bike riding rip) your body gets used to it and then doesnt burn fat to keep your energy up

I feel like hard time limits on puzzles is an arbitrary difficulty increase. and not in a good way, you're not allowing people to think their way through to the solution, you're relying on panic to cause them to fail
if XCOM had time limits on battles or turns, I would hate it

you don't see much of shifters having trouble getting into their non-human forms. it's usually rhe other way around
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Sep-20 09:16 AM
basically, elder drakes born as sort of a "superpowered" dragon, born with wings but in human shape
but can go all three forms naturally, as a sign of their upped magic potential. the "natural" state is the humanoid with wings
and they're basically like land protectors. live a long time
this is the universe where the magic people are called weavers
she's the ice one

so like thse are hre "people" in that her family and theirs have lived together and ruled together sort of thing, but with the dragon as the guardian beasties
but they're super honored and respected throughout the land and stuff
they're getting rarer/dying off/hunted
but she gets asked to do a task that takes her away from her land, so she drops it suddenly and disappears. and then the current quest twenty years later has brought her back through
and she's been masquerading as a plain human for so long that now she can't change back
and this is the first moment she realizes that
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 09:19 AM
yeah, that's a very cool dynamic to read about. make sense too cos if you don't do something for a long time it can be hard to pick back up immediately
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Sep-20 09:19 AM
yeah
and naturally all dragons are a touch arrogant
so she didn't even think about the possibility of not being able to do it
she's basically like a bodyguard to the prince of another country
because the dragons are so rare and such, babies are very coveted/believe they shoudl be protected
so when the prince's mom asks her to protect him cos something bad is afoot, she doesn't even question doing it

like a dyign wish sort of thing
i figure she came downin her dragon fury to kill the intruders and try to save the mom
but the mom is already injured/etc so doesn't make it
but is able to ask this thing of her
there's sort of religion in that people sort of worship dragons. in some places
like leave food offerings,s ay prayers sort of thing. but few people actually see the dragons anymore
cos there are other types not like her and the storm one, ones who just are dragon dragons. and some are powerful enough to go as a human but its ard for them to keep that shape
thats why her kind are more revered/powerful. cos its natural. they're like meant to be the bridge between both species
her father was also human. so she's inclined to help them as well even moreso
theres no liek quarter bloodlines or anything. the storm buddy had two dragon parents and ended upthe same as she was

honestly you reading and commenting on my stuff and actually being interested is pretty good motivation

ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 10:52 AM
that's good, I'm glad to hear that. I genuinely am interested btw, I think you have talent, and that's not relationship suck-up
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Sep-20 10:53 AM
thats good. cos is so hard to get honest feedback sometimes
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 10:54 AM
yes, I always ensure that all of my feedback is honest to everyone. it sucks sometimes, cos cam asks for feedback on his campaign and it's hard to tell him that it's kinda dragging ass. but I do. and if you ever wrote somethign that I didn't like or thought wasn't up to par, I would tell you
there is no benefit to be had by coddling you. I'd rather give constructive criticism so you can improve and then employ me as a webmaster lol
problem is that you're more skilled in writing than I so there's not much I can do beyond, like, perdantic grammar shit. and I'm probably wrong anyway cos there's slight differences in the US/AUS lexicons

WinterVines 08-Sep-20 10:56 AM

Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 11:08 AM
yeah! I don't even expect positive things though. like that ship has sailed, I just want the status quo for a while. if they try piling anything new on me or complaining about how I don't work as quick or whatever, then I'll explain in no uncertain terms exactly why I'm acting the way I am
in a polite, professional manner of course

WinterVines 08-Sep-20 11:09 AM

ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 11:09 AM

Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 11:12 AM
probably here too, but idk, we're tiny. we're like.... 30 people probably. HR is literally one person I'm pretty sure. and he's kind of a dickhead which is another source of stress, like I don't trust him to hold my water bottle, let alone act on my behalf. HR's trick is that they're actually supposed to protect the company ,it's just that most of the time that's achieved by acting in the employee's best interests for the short term
Avatar
WinterVines 08-Sep-20 11:13 AM
yeah, fair. but i mean your company does a lot of business, so bad PR hurts them maybe even moreso than a coporation
Avatar
ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 11:14 AM
that's very true, they definitely don't want a shitstorm at present. then again neither do I, it'll make me unhireable. I basically just want people to do what I do, i.e. their jobs without dumping shit on me. I feel like that's pretty reasonable
and most days it is. last two weeks have been really good

ChainReaction01 08-Sep-20 11:15 AM

Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:10 AM

Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:20 AM
awesome. so I'm writing an optional scene where the party can sneak into the sorcerer woman's study to speak with her devil patron, looking for information. the devil knows pretty much everything, becaue she's the one who traded the arcane power to the Queen, but she doesn't want to just give any information away without making a deal. that said, she's corrupted the Queen because the Queen is in a position of power, and she is smart enough to recognise that swapping her attentions onto a PC would probably be an even greater gain, so she might be prepared to throw the Queen under the bus in order to get in good with a PC. so basically what I need are ideas for interesting deals etc the devil is prepared to make. for example, she gave a demonic Imp to the Queen to serve as a familiar and to basically be the source of the queen's arcane power. part of a deal throwing the queen under the bus might be someone has to agree to take it as a familiar instead, which gives the imp a chance to corrupt them. another alternative - one of the traditional "I get your firstborn" deals. in particular audrey might take her up on this because I don't think she ever wants to be a mother but then the twist is the devil gets to void the birth control she's using because that's an attempted breach of contract
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:21 AM
that twist is great lol
is the devil trying to give away the familiar a breach of the devil's contract tho
is the devil hot
or maybe like can they try to negotiate th vampire's death?
and tha woudl set off the bad king path
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:23 AM
I kinda figure that the devil is smart enough to work her way around whatever contracts she offers. tiny loopholes, etc. and yes she is hot, succubus-esque
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:23 AM
so takeo woud be into that
also audrey
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:23 AM

very true
and yeah they'll wanna kill the vamp but she devil doesn't actually have much control over that
he's smart and has avoided infernal contact
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:24 AM
but they could ask her for help
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:24 AM
but she might be able to at least point them in the right direction
yeah she could send hellhounds to sniff him out
but then what does she ask of them in return?
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:24 AM
cos like the PCs probably know devils are bad news
so they know not to ask for something dumb
they're not gonna be fooled with that
so hat do you think they'll ask for?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:26 AM
honestly I don't know, this is like the trickiest scene in this arc. it's kidna meant to be a backup scene, like if they have absolutely no idea what's going on or if they're missing a vital clue, this allows them to find their way at a cost
like I kinda expect them to start suspecting the queen, but she's very cleverly hidden all of her magic stuff
so they might not know how she's actually doing it
and the devil obviously does. so they might ask for that proof. which would be nothing more than the devil commanding the imp to meet up with the party and spill everything
but the devil needs to make a profit. she's contorling the queen of a small nation, if she burns that she needs to trade up for something
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:27 AM
but that still wouldn't be able to prove anything either even if they got that info
and honestly nobody might care how she's doing it cos shes the queen XD
well whatdo they have that she could gain?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:27 AM
maybe! and it'll be up to them to figure out how
well a chance to corrupt them in some way would be at the top, although they're probably not stupid enough tot ake that. so maybe a firstborn, like I said. maybe the devil wants to use their body for a real short amount of time - like say, one minute per question she answers, that could be a fun bomb to hang over their head for the long term

Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:29 AM
cos like she could send them into hell or something
or retrieve something from someone scurry
or go after an NPC they like
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:31 AM
yeah that's a possible option for sure, although again the party might not be dumb enough to go for that
perhaps some smaller options might be, like, she gets to feed on them in some way. jokulf gets less spells, takeo gets less ki points, something like that
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:31 AM
well then they dont get that information
like you said, its something only if they're really stuck
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:36 AM
absolutely. they have to be prepared to pay for info. but I want there to be a range of options. like they might not be prepared to pay for the whole answer wit their soul, but maybe they'd agree to a tiny hint for, like, one less spell per day for a month or something
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:36 AM
true. but is that balanced enough?
like its basicaly a quick solve
losing say one spell is not a huge deal
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:39 AM
no, and that's why it would be a tiny insignificant clue. like say jokulf took up that offer, the clue he'd get in return would be, like, "search for a devil". technically true in multiple ways, because maria does have a devil that's giving her power. almost no chance of the party finding it though. also true in that the devil could give them more info XD
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:40 AM
haha true
devils are very crafty
Avatar
ChainReaction01 11-Sep-20 10:45 AM
I think that's a good array of things she could want. like on the big end, someone has to agree to attach themselves to the imp or like sacrifice their firsborn. on the small end, it could just be a temporary debuff of some sort, minor enough to agree to but still annoying. less bombs for trith or a strength drain for audrey or somethign. is there anything else I'm missing? devils are usually all about corruption and stuff like that, there's not much I can really think of that the party might consider agreeing to. they're not going to kill innocents or anything like that. maybe the open ended favor is a good option because I can spin up a side adventure for that later on when I'm less mind fucked
Avatar
WinterVines 11-Sep-20 10:46 AM
yeah, the favor is always good
an escort or babysitting mission or something perhaps?
like they ened to "watch" an entity as it tags around with them for a whiel
and that gies it a chance to corrupt hem but also be helpful

and they keep getting longer
they hoevered around 500 words to start
but now they're pushing closer to 1k
thats a ton of writing i didn't have before
nothing really fleshed out or polished
but its still content and ideas i didn't have

and it's habit-forming too

WinterVines 11-Sep-20 11:18 AM
oh yeah, im def long-form
but
i dont tend to finish really long stuff
like novella length is probablythe gold mine if i can find things that work
which is why i think i was interested in my mangella idea
because the other part of it is drawing. you don have to have a super long and ocmplex full story
just an "episode"

gdi this one is already past 400 words

hmm interesting
kinda like a "neg"? something like "I love your shirt btw, so brave of you to wear a colour that clashes with your skin tone"

like "thanks for the tip, I can afford to clear my left ear now"

Shifters being kidnapped by aliens to live in an offworld zoo. Parents of different shifter species having a running bet on which side their kid will favour. Bonus points if he favours both (say, a wolf with feathers). A veteran having trouble with PTSD because whenever it triggers, he reflexively shifts and potentially causes havoc. Octopus shifter. That's all I have, just something to do with an octopus shifter. A (porn?) actress getting outraged because she's been tapped to work with a shifter costar, even though the video won't involve shifting at all. A shifter with multiple personalities, each personality having its own form (perhaps this is a more arcane-magic-focused type of shifting). Business entrepreneur, excited to sell his new line of clothing, which is specially stretchy for shifters. Some kind of historical piece. Maybe the first wolves to work with humans did so because an ancient shifter convinced them to? An adventuring party desperately trying to find a mouse shifter to help them plunder a tomb, but nobody will admit to being a mouse shifter (inadequacy reasons perhaps?). A shifter assassin performing prepwork for a hit. More Mob Life, because I want it, dammit.

that's fair enough, it's true
when I take a bad call sometimes I'm a bit off-colour for fifteen minutes
but the other place they wanted me to improve was on "strategic vision"
and I was like that sounds cool, what is it?
and honest to God, it took them about five straight minutes to put together an airy explanation of "future mindset" and "looking for achievable goals" and all this crap

when they told you your explanation was exactly right
Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Sep-20 09:08 AM
yep
and then the other one that kinda grated my nipples
and hang on a sec cos I gotta get this right
at the end of the discussion, they asked me if I had anything I wanted to say
and I told them that my morale is average but dropping, because I'm tired of taking blows for a system that I hate
one that quite literally stole the only parts of my job I enjoyed
and all of the feature request tickets I submit aren't even acknowledged, like I would genuinely be happy to receive a confirmed "it's not going to happen" email at this point
and they were like "to be honest with you, most likely none of those features will make it into the system, they really needed to be baked in during the design phase"
"and we're already onto the design phase of a few new projects"
and genuinely, I was like alright, fair enough, I can understand that
and I told them I get it, my job is to tank blows and work with what I have, fair
but just to be clear, the new system has holes because they were missed in design, yes?
>that's a certain point of view, yes
and you're now working on new projects which are in the design phase, yes?
>yes, we are
okay, so can I be involved in the design phase of those projects so this isn't a repeating cycle?
>corporate bullshit speak for "we don't want you involved because it'll take longer to get the projects out and making money"

Avatar
ChainReaction01 15-Sep-20 09:13 AM
so I basically just said fair enough, well I want it known that I love working here and I love working with the people that I do but I can't stay here long term any more
and they said "would a change in role/position be of interest to you?"
and I go yes, I would love an opportunity to work in a different section, like maybe sales in a technical role. but I happen to know that sales isn't looking to expand, so there's no opportunity to move anyway. is that incorrect?
"no"

but now she doesn't get to do her own stuff
but yeah, i think the job really does just stress her out too
so it's probably better for everyone if she goes
like when she left the otehr day
i think there was some flak for that because then suddenly she had a doc note that had her out literally all week
she told scott it was personal so she shouldn't have had to explain to anyone. but like dude, we're in covid times. you bailed on a manager and ghosted the rest of the week, note or no note
told him today that she thought she was having a heart attack

yeah it's a whole thing. I get it because I'm like that sometimes. if I catch a call where I get beaten on for the new system reporting being shit, I generally act painful for ten minutes or so. it's tone, and body language, and the lack of willingness to do what's expected of you to the full extent
that's a problem of mine I have to work on

yeah we have a huge problem with that specifically
scott has labeled it and pointed it out
but the managers "work down"
in tha they dont delegate and let booksellers "work up"
from their role

ChainReaction01 15-Sep-20 09:30 AM
yeah that's a problem
Avatar
WinterVines 15-Sep-20 09:30 AM
soem fothe managers just wanna do it themselves quick
instea dof letting a bookseller learn and grow skills
i got super good at delegating after about a year mark
but i was that way too, so i get it
but ilearned quick that i couldn't do everyting myself and that other peopel NEEDED to knwo how to do things, co slike what if i was gone etc etc
and it was such a burden releif when i managed it. cos then all the problems aren't just saved and waiting for me when i come back. it runs without me
because i aught them how to sail without being aboard the ship

ChainReaction01 15-Sep-20 09:32 AM
exactly. some of the best advice I ever got was never hold knowledge, because then the buck stops with you. distribute knowledge, because then there's never one failure point and the people above will appreciate that, rather than resent you for not being always available
feed a man vs teach him to fish

she doesnt' want to distribute it or if it is, she wants to pick the specific moment and person

then you have to straddle the line of how much longer can he keep doing what he does before turning himself in

or just offing himself

ye boi
it was a FT hunter guild
they were hunting vampires
levy gets bopped
by someone whos' collecting blue haired people
she wakes up undead
with juvia and wendy who are also vampires who have been turned
gajeel mopes around cos they took the job cos he was competing with natsu and gray's team
so basically got her killed etc etc

erza is the badass who lost her partner years ago
(same bad guy, cos he's got blue hair too)
so she like has the higest kills
fights solo, no partners anymore
mira is the bartender but is a vampire in hiding, its what broke their family up at first
laxus is not a douche so much in this one, is kinda on th track to take over. mira working there was his idea
theres some sort of reconcilation at the end where gajeel wants to help, can't just slay them all
and the end ends on hope or w/e that they can find a way to work together

some of them do some bad things yeah. this world set up like the maker is a puppeteer of sorts for a long while or can be

but its still interesting to see
so anyway, during all this
he has to leave mid way
cos he has an HR meeting with wendy and chris and the HR department
so i have to just figure out orientation , tho it wasn't that hard cos ive done it before. but i just worried about quality control cos they went from him to me lol

WinterVines 16-Sep-20 12:03 PM
yeah, exactly
so it went fine
but like jfc no day is normal lol
so later in the night, it came up tat i overheard a little of wendy's outburst during their meeting th eother day (edited)
even with the door closed
and i told him it was a litle upsetting that she was denying info that i had brought forward
and it got brought up that at some point she and i were aligned and now we aren't
and ive been thinking bout that
but apparently, her next step in her action plan is setting aside time to talk to me and kassidy privately
to tryand hash some of this out. im not looking forward to that. but scott was supportive. like he's in agreement with me that there is a problem. and so is chris. cos wendy is not acknowleding that there even IS a problem
he told me that ihave the power here
so i know they're not gonna suddenly turn and say i was wrong

plus she hates change

ChainReaction01 16-Sep-20 12:09 PM

but needs must, unfortunately

WinterVines 16-Sep-20 12:10 PM
yeah thats exactly right. i told scott that. that we have to fix this for the good of the team if nothing else
she overtalks a lot
but there are a lto of things that have happened over the years th amade me quesiton her motives and beliefs
so itsnot just recently, altho a lot of recent things have added ont oit

before things got more chaotic
and she didn't do them

to me too
shes been given so many chances
and i get that upper management is hard
but cmon, we're all suffering here
i think that, upon thiking about it all
that we were aligned before
bcause i did not know it could be better
that idint' know itcould be different/should be/what the policy was
also was more of a yes man
in that i didn't stand up to her or really voice my opinon because she talked over it like hers was th eonly right one
like
blaming jeff for every little thing going wrong
like not cleaning teh staff coffee pot in back after using it--to the pint that she told me i needed to tell him yadda yadda
when it wasn't even him and he WAS cleaning it after use
liek so many little things like that

ah nothing major, things have been kinda lame since we hung up yesterday :/ just lots of little things. like I burnedthe roof of my mouth super bad on my lunch, like considering going to the hospital kinda bad. then I got called out for tech support by my auntie in the evening. and I forgot to wash my clothes so I was doing that at like 10:30. and when I got into work today I found out that they had a blackout starting at 11am so they basically just hung out for three hours then went home three hours early. what a day to skip :/
don't get me wrong, maintaining a good mood and everything
but like, fuck

hm, interesting. most coffee places here straight up give discounts to their staff for food and drink to be consumed during shifts. ethan gets into a lot of trouble because he likes soft drink and donuts lol
makes sense for health reasons though
Avatar
WinterVines 21-Sep-20 10:01 AM
we have discounts but its not really supposed to be back behind the bar. according to food safety it has to be 3 feet from any food bearing surface and you have to wash hands after. technically cups are supposed to be draw only and not capped
but we dont have a table or anything set up to even set things on. there isn't room anywya, and definitely not in a place that meets the space requirements
technically i dont even think our water bottles are supposed t be the way they are. but we dont have cups of water out anymore so they can't say no drinks at all i guess. its complicated

yeah exactly, that was going to be my next point, you don't have much beef with her directly as a person, it's the way she's been treating the job and the teams that's not acceptable
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Sep-20 11:37 AM
but that she picked that time
because get this, they told her she had to and they're having a follow up on monday
when shes had ample time, and yesterday she was asked why she hadn't talked to either of us yet
so really, this has been planeed, and she picked THAT time? w
when both of s had been there for like 3 or 4 hours at that point
today
plus all the other days there was opportunity
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Sep-20 11:39 AM
yeah that's utter horseshit. she tagged you at a time you didn't have much to spare so the convo duration would be limited
I hpe you told scott that
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Sep-20 11:40 AM
i did
and he asked me to havea nother discussion with her
like, to actually discuss some of the things and to see if she can actually discuss them and not just blame shift like she's been doing
also its really hard to hear someone praise you directly like in the room. to have them say thank you and that im included in some of these things like orientation not just because of position or my work ethic but because of who i am and what good things ive done so far
like, its really hard to accept praise
cos hes legit sincere about it
and to like have him imply that he bleieves i can do these hard things, liek these conversations, even when im exhausted
to say yeah i can muster the strength even tho i want to be done
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Sep-20 11:44 AM
see I feel like you shouldn't have to have that discussion with her :/ and yes it can be hard to accept praise, I know you have associated issues with that. and it kinda annoys me that he might be using it as a forked motivator. but he does sound like a good guy so I'm not looking to write him off immediately
idk I don't think anyone could blame you if you said ot him "I'm tired of dealing with awful colleagues, I don't have the mental space required to do this properly atm"
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Sep-20 11:44 AM
yeah true
but at the same time, this was supposed to be taken care of before he got there
when he was coming in, he was told she was going to be fired bfore he arrived
and they left her for him to redo the entire process and start over
so at the same time, he shouldn't have to clean up everyones mess either
i didn't know that bit before today
that when chris came on presidents day to fire greg, he was out to fire wendy too
cos of the other issues
also because of timeline, i have to have this discussion with her tomorrow

WinterVines 23-Sep-20 11:51 AM
they have their follow up on monday and we dont cross over. i have thurs and sat off, she has thurs and friday off, because of inventory and being early on sunday i dont think we cross over
and if i dont have the convo, she gets to tell chris she had the convo and htis drags on further

this is justall jacked up
and cos im tired and not a my best and was surprised (also the way she phrased the question and knowing i didn't have time cos the new hires were more important), i did not do a good job at the convo

I'm in your corner though, love. it'll suck to stay calm and in control but I genuinely beleie you can do it

Avatar
WinterVines 24-Sep-20 08:59 AM
spastic because its thursday and the day before the week ends and they haven't done anything yet XD
stable as itcan be i guess
kassidy was told that i wasn't supposed to have a discussion with wendy today and she wasn't either if wendy asked
so i didn't, even tho we had planned on it earlier in the day
she had to call scott right when hse got there too (edited)
niika said wendy was crying when niika came in but dind't know why, so im guessing it wasn't good news
but, i dont have sympathy for her
cos mid day, when i was walking by customer service, wendy asked if after yesterday we were still good. and i told her as i was walking that we prob had to have an extended disuccsion sometime. and kassidy happened to be standing there, and she said that as soon as i had my back turned wendy rolled her eyes hardcore at me

Avatar
WinterVines 24-Sep-20 09:02 AM
yeah, shes dug her own grave at this point
so i texted scott just in case like if his convo with chris moved up
and he called so i told him about it and he said that he has a disuccion with her and crhis tonight at close
cos scott is going in for a virtual event set up tonight

Avatar
WinterVines 24-Sep-20 09:03 AM
so that kind of sucks for him. but yeah
i guess they moved the discussion up
follow up was supposed to be on monday but now its sooner. maybe its cos scott has to take vacation next week as well
maybe was having to do updates every night or something
and her "discussion" with me moved it up. idk
maybe chris didn't want kassidy or i to have to talk to her again
hard to say
theres other shit that went on that i dont know about so

...probably? I think that's one of the acceptable breaks of reality. like don't call a rabbit a "smeerp", your audience knows what rabbits are and to pretend they don't is going too far
generally speaking, unless you're working towards some kind of mystery reveal, call stuff what it is imo
unless it's something very descriptive, like "frostleaf" or whatever

yeah im pretty sure ican move it without breaking it now. the old linoleum was behind still. which means either they cut it there cos they didn't want to do the new floor there or they just put the new floor on without removing the old floor, which is bad lol

Avatar
WinterVines 25-Sep-20 02:52 PM
it doesn't have to be money based
just mixing it up
cos nothing will change cos you aren't willing ot have tha convo with him
you are just quietly sitting by because you feel uilt for something that is not on you and being the peacekeeper even tho you are unhappy with it
and from where i sit it makes it look like hes taking advantage fo you
because hes not considering you much and his situation is putting him at an advantage to make others feel sorry for him
money and all that stuff is just an excuse for not brainstorming/trying/having a discussion

I think I'm too lazy to do stir fry, I'll probably do a pasta salad thing

if you do fries or pasty you should do veggies iwth it

not burgers os you just did that
do pasta

maybe why we both struggle since its at a distance

ChainReaction01 28-Sep-20 11:21 AM
yes, I'd imagine so
fitness does have a part to play in sexual relations I'd imagine, but honestly it's not something I'm particularly worried about

do you think eunuchs are jealous of regular people?
cos like in most of the fiction I read, eunuch characters don't really seem to care
they kinda look at regular people like they're weird and are perfectly happy in their own way

yeah i dont think so
cos like, thats just the way they are
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Sep-20 11:41 AM
yeah, interesting. I always like reading about those characters. one of my faves is a eunuch who is an unscrupulous businessman in a country where drug use is 100% legitimised
and where the state religion is hugely important and also drug heavy
so he pretends to be more addled than he is as a cover for being a smart businessman

could always be worse. we could be like cam and mel, where they're living together but can't have sex at all because mel has a bad reaction to every BC she's tried, and cam can't just get the snip cos they do want kids later on

yikes, that raelly does suck
but they can't use condoms i guess?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 28-Sep-20 11:56 AM
they didn't go that deep into the conversation, I guess they could but mel's still scared that something would go wrong. condoms aren't 100%. and not as pleasurable I guess
or maybe, knowing her luck, she's allergic to whatever material they're made of

WinterVines 28-Sep-20 11:57 AM
its prob just te worry i guess. cos they can't just hop the US rn to give birth there

ChainReaction01 28-Sep-20 12:08 PM
oh yeah, being a slave to hormones whilst simultaneously being taught that masturbation etc was a massive sin led to all kinds of fun thoughts. it's still one that crosses my mind but only occasionally because the damage has been done, you need your balls cut off before the hormones kick in, otherwise the brain functions are permanently changed

she had like no real feedback to it other tan she's trying to "adjust" to this job apparently

WinterVines 29-Sep-20 09:54 AM
but theni mentioned say lying about the clipboard and then literally proving it true she lied the next day several times
and a few other things about what she does that are negative
like accusing/having an opinion about something before listening and then not hearing people when they say otherwise
she had no real rebuttal for those things
but nothing productive
she apologized for the short talk before but only beacuse scott said so probably. she was just "getting done what she needed to" or whatever
its not like she really wanted to talk

WinterVines 29-Sep-20 09:56 AM
and she goes "they keep taking things away"
as in, not doing theo ther managers' job
because she should ve focusing on her own. i asked her what she thoght she was in charge of and she went right o metrics like membercard
and im like dude, you got coaching and like hte entire staff overseeing

but im tired of this
i got dragged into it
like i was put on the wendy and catt core team because he didn't want her to eat alexa and he wanted someone who would stand up to her
and now ive been placed as this post in the center of teh store
who mingles with everyone and also gets battered from all sides and also tries to block some sides from other sides
and its very exhausting
hang on gotta refill coffe

WinterVines 29-Sep-20 10:02 AM
but thats the kind of role ive taken on
cos i can read moods and things like that
also cos coffee is magical and stuff lol
that scott was supposed to call me after work and get my feedback and hasn't yet is also worrisome

The USDA stated: “While many people enjoy the taste of pawpaw, some individuals become sick after eating the fruit. Skin rash, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea can develop. In other cases, individuals may be allergic to the leaves or the fruit skin (Peterson, 1991).”
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, paw paw fruit is indigenous to America specifically in the states of NJ, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, Mississippi and Ohio.
its imported too
esp if your enot used to things from here
apparently lewis and clark found it
“Stomach upset eating pawpaw seems worse in cooked pawpaw, and even worse in dried pawpaw/fruit leather- I have heard enough reports of people getting sick to their stomach eating pawpaw fruit leather that I would not recommend making it. We are not sure what causes this stomach upset though, we have speculated fatty acids that go rancid in the drying or heating process but that is just a guess. Also some people can have allergies or sensitivities to pawpaw.”

Paw paw has high concentrations of a chemical property called annonacin. (2) Annonacin can have toxic effects on the nervous system.

well kassidy is running that bit
im not really on teh floor that much to do that stuff, esp when i wasn't the one who found them
kassidy is the one who keeps finding this stuff cos her job is managing look of the floor

right, I see
for real, what is wendy's job actually meant to be
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Sep-20 12:03 PM
and i didn't want to accuse wendy of anything in case she got angry/etc
her job is honestly to do a lot of the admin sutff, like orientation, scheudles, etc. and then being MOD all the time
the store is basically teh ASM's store and htey're suppsed to be on the floor most of the time
so that the SIMs can do the merchandise and projects
so ASM are in charge of like coaching associates how to do better and stuff
its really their store
as far as operations and stuff goes
but she's trying to keep her hands into everyhting. managing the back room even tho thats the one thing catt shoudl be doing
or doing merchandising when thats kassidy's job
to set the tables and make the plans and stuff
Avatar
ChainReaction01 30-Sep-20 12:05 PM
right. so the core issue seems to be that she isn't delegating properly. she's micromanaging and not paying attention to the larger-scale, more strategic things she should be doing
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Sep-20 12:06 PM
yes
thats exactly it
she wants to control all of it
so she def doesn't delgate
scott says that most of the managers all work down instead of giving asociates the opportunity to work up
like, a manager will do a table themselves instead of asking someone else to do it, etc etc
and that goes for kassidy too. its more of a "ill just do it myself" mentality
instead of developing the talent to do it for you

ChainReaction01 30-Sep-20 12:07 PM

ChainReaction01 30-Sep-20 12:08 PM
that's concerning lol
Avatar
WinterVines 30-Sep-20 12:08 PM
and especially at BN, they dont really teach you how to make that transition
its more of some get it, some dont
thats how they weed out who's cut for it and whos' not
instead of helping them get there. like in theory good managers can spot that and develop, but majority in the company its not like that and we just get lucky when the right people land in the right places
there is a LOT of turnover for SIMs especially
cafe manager too. we saw numbers from last year pre covid and a couple stores went through like at least 3 managers in as many or fewer years
thats why catt struggles so bad. nobody developed her for it. they threw her into it cos she worked very casual at BN for years and needd a full time job cos her other job closed the store down completely
she was no ready for it. she had the skills maybe as a bookseller but not at managing people.
so now she doesn't know how to develop OTHER people because she never received the same care and deos not have that future mindset necessary to go far
shes not like me, whre my primary goal is to develop everyone enough so that they dont need me lol
Avatar
ChainReaction01 30-Sep-20 12:26 PM

I suppose that's not 100% their focus though. their focus is on selling book and coffees!

WinterVines 30-Sep-20 12:27 PM

ChainReaction01 30-Sep-20 12:29 PM
so it's a matter of stabilising I guess. which will be hard on the employees, which is what we're seeing. it's just a shame that certain people, like wendy, are going to snap, which then puts pressure on others
Avatar

Boss #2 is Dingodile. Still pretty easy, although you might not get it on your first try. You just run in a circle either way and avoid the blasts from his gun. After he stops shooting, he'll start facing towards and you and use his flame thrower to hit you. After you lure him...

very good, except I had another weird recurring dream sequence where I was in a party trying to raid dracula's lair
he was surprisingly chill about it
but we kept failing
and each time we had to leave something more to get out

ChainReaction01 09-Oct-20 08:15 AM
so it kinda turned into "we're going back just to recover what we lost"
which ofc didn't work
weird
but sleep itself was okay

eh not so much ominous i guess
dropped off my donations
and then was stopped at a light and someone hit the back of my car lol
wasn't a hard hit
i thnk he was freaked out more by it than i was

oh wtf
is eveyrthing okay?
are you okay?
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Oct-20 08:19 AM
yeah its fine. theres like a tiny little dip in the little edge where the plate sits
but he damaged his more than mine just cos of the height differences
it was one of those lights where it has a green turn arrow next to the regular one
so when the arrow changed green but the regular one didn't, he thought it had all turned green and started rolling forward
so it wasn't fast
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Oct-20 08:20 AM
so it wasn't a hard jolt. that's good. still though
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Oct-20 08:20 AM
he'd never been in an "accident" not that this was much of one
but he was very freaked out lol

Avatar
WinterVines 09-Oct-20 08:21 AM
yeah its really minor
cos nobody was going fast. it was litterally we were both stopped and then he started rollnig
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Oct-20 08:21 AM
yeah thats understandable
well I'm glad you're okay and it was nothing major
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Oct-20 08:22 AM
i think if he hadn't had an suv that sat a little higher may ahve been worse perhaps. but its not bad
yeah, nothing to lose sleep over
you do worse damage backing into the garage or a light pole or something yourself tbh than what it did to my car
Avatar
ChainReaction01 09-Oct-20 08:23 AM
yeah probably
I bet he's also glad that you were a reasonable sane person
and didn't try to gut him through his wallet
Avatar
WinterVines 09-Oct-20 08:23 AM
yeah, probably
he was vaguely some other nationality
like mid 30s or 40s
he wans't hurt or anything either. just him in the car too

he didn't take my insurance info so he wont be filing anything anyway, and said so
someone filed on me recently, few months ago
cos i was backing out of a space at the gas station, and they literally pulled up from turning in from the highway and stopped behind me
so i tapped into them, since i was already moving out of my space

CF: Ideally I would have that by the time we lodge the application, but it’s ok to supply it to the Department later.
in regards t th FBI background check
but i dontwant to wait 3 months to file
thats even worse than just waiting for corona
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Oct-20 12:31 PM
well it sounds like we can provide it later on. so we could submit the fiance visa, wait a few months for corona to simmer down, then you could do the fingerprint thing and we just upload it at that point
I mean if you can't get the fingerprinting done because corona then that's how it is
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Oct-20 12:32 PM
it still would take 3 months to process regardless
so thatmeans our fianca visa doesn't process til at least ten
or maye it doesn't actually start until all the documents ar ein
so it could be a year + those three months from once i submit it
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Oct-20 12:32 PM
no I'm sure that's not the case
I recall from our meeting with CF that she said we can add documents in later on
Avatar
WinterVines 13-Oct-20 12:33 PM
yeah, before filing i thought
but you have to have everything to file
thats what i took away anyway
Avatar
ChainReaction01 13-Oct-20 12:33 PM
so like we lodge on month 0, say. then you could go out and do the fingerprinting on month 2. then it comes back and we upload it on month 5. and then it's not reviewed until month 9 or whatever anyway
I'm very veyr confident that you can continue to upload and make changes during the review process
I recall cam and mel talking about that fairly regularly

WinterVines 13-Oct-20 12:34 PM

well that's not aus. it's not good to worry about theoreticals and stuff that we don't know for sure. catherine isn't going to lie to us, and everyting that I've read said that partner visas specifically are still being treated regularly. and there are still international flights coming into aus, you just need particular permission to get onto them
so let's just get her everything that we can. she will sort it out. and then once that is done, if we're missing something that needs to be done before the visa request can be submitted, we'll do it

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 11:29 AM
not really. i donthink it'll go anywhere. so the othr day we had another cleaning lady come in to survey the store cos the cleaning is up for bid. the current lady we have now doesn't want to work specific days and hours/do certain work hat we need for the store, especially with holidays coming up (she basically wants a weekend day off in a RETAIL store, esp during holidays, and then won't clean some areas) so scott put in to corporate what we need and if she can't accomodate it, we have to find someone who will
he had this discussion with me and one other manager, either catt or wendy
so now, kassidy gets a text at home from the cleaning lady who is complaining about this, saying several people came u to her and told her we were getting rid of her and that scott is being reported for being sexist and retaliation agains ther
first off, its not sexist cos the other cleaning companies are also women and idk where she got tha, and is not retaliation cos she doesn't work for us, sh has a contract with corporate
BUT it means that whoever else scot had tat conversation with told other associates
and i can bet who it is
cos she likes gossip, and if she told one of our teammates, it would be everywhere cos shes super gossipy
i figured it was serious if kassidy was calling me
she's gonna call me after she calls scott too

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 11:32 AM
tho honestly i dont think it'll go anywhere. he put out what we needed as a store, she said no, so its our perrogative to find someone who will do the work we need
but, this could be good if it WAS wendy
cos thats spreading confidential info and all that

ChainReaction01 14-Oct-20 11:33 AM
if it was, and you can prove it, that is a nice bit of ammunition
managers absolutely shouldn't be gossiping like that

ChainReaction01 14-Oct-20 11:35 AM
fucks's sake
Avatar
WinterVines 14-Oct-20 11:35 AM
cos wendy kind got defensive at kassidy over a simple question and her tone was bad
and cos i was the only other person in the room, he wanted to talk to me to XD
but idk, chris has always done good by me so i was slightly reassured after talking to him that something was going ot come out of all this
also, in our store, the electrical sockets may be sparking, but in the poor store niika transferred to, their store is on fire
so it can always be worse
apparently tey dont have a cafe manager there. and their managers may not check in to cafe even worse than we do. and she had a coworker on shift with her who pocketed all 30 dollars in tips in front of her themselves. and they wont use things like prepsheets or the cleaning task logs or anything
i feel so bad that she moved down there to go to school during all thsi and now has to deal with a messy cafe, esp after we went through all the shit at ours. a definite downgrade 3: and until they set up our store clusters (her store is in the same mini team as ours), we can't really directly help other than give her advice
Avatar
ChainReaction01 14-Oct-20 11:41 AM
oh that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that 😦 poor niika. bad colleagues and a contrary work environment really does awful things to people
it's probably not super helpful to pass niika's concerns on to chris? I'm guessing he's probably manager for your specific district or s/t

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 11:44 AM
nah niika's first point of contact is her store manager, so she's gonna talk to him

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 12:00 PM
yeah, thats just how it is. some of the other guys have left. but all the management has been female for a while
but youre right, sexist is a huge HR issue. tho to be fair, bn is pretty sexist in general, so i think thats why this comment was thrown out there, and pretty sure that one specifically is wendy cos it all comes back to "rodney didn't like me; chris is trying to fire me"
greg was v sexist
but greg was a lot of things
Avatar
ChainReaction01 14-Oct-20 12:03 PM
...yes, yes he was. and it might be right to say that an organisation is sexist, but to direct that at a single person is very scary
scott just can't catch a break huh

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 12:04 PM

its throwing things out there just to try and see if something sticks
which makes me think wendy again
the cleaning lady was there last night i think kassidy said
and i think the gossipy coworker was also

WinterVines 14-Oct-20 12:09 PM

ChainReaction01 14-Oct-20 12:10 PM
that does sound exactly like the kind of action a person like her would take. despicable. the trick is trying to prove that lol. which shouldn't be on your shoulders in any way but there's that burden of competence again
Avatar
WinterVines 14-Oct-20 12:10 PM
i mean there isn't a lot of proving unfort
cos speculation isn't allowed or anything
but they can find out if she talked to someone. the proof is there in that scott hadn't told many people about it

so genuine question, how am I supposed to evo basics these days? I can send them on jobs?
Avatar
WinterVines 16-Oct-20 09:08 AM
you can send them on jobs. 1 week evolves them 1 stage, so mons that evo two times need either two simple/medim jobs or one hard+. each EM that isn't an HM counts as 1 exp point too. so does each battle, contest, ffa. iirc you can claim journal and sketchbook as exp instead of money. HA may also count. naming them+nature (doing both) is one exp point too
you need 7 exp for mons that evo once, and then 5 per stage if it evos twice
also you can buy rare candies that give 1 exp each too

Happy birthday! Sorry it's a bit late. James didn't tell me until a couple days before the event or I could have timed the card better. There was also doubt if the first one would make it, but it looks like that's not an issue (albeit delayed with our postal issues recently). He says you really like birthdays. I think it's great to day a day out to celebrate something—my family never really did, at least for birthdays. There were a couple surprise ones as a kid by my birth mother (in the vein of I knew we were going somewhere but not where or when), but charlotte never really paid attention to thinks I liked, and large crowds were never one of them. I used to actually just work through my birthday until a few years ago. The manager before me made the day absolutely awful, which was in-line with her work ethic. I had mentioned to a coworker that it was my birthday in the context of being annoyed at the manager, and at the end of the night, the staff had gotten together and all signed a card for me with a box of chocolate. It was incredibly touching. Now, I usually save a little vacation time and take the week off (since I don't end up using it throughout the year either because the store is on fire or I don't have anything planned—and it doesn't roll over). Since July is my work anniversary, I have to use all my time before the end of the month regardless.
I would love a fall birthday. Here, since there's a lot of water and trees, the color change is amazing. It starts as soon as we get that first cold dip, and almost overnight the foliage melts into reds, oranges, and yellows. Some places even do color tours, since Duluth is a bit of a touristy area (at least when the plague isn't going on). Summer here isn't so bad, unless it gets hot. It's not so much the temperature that's annoying but the terrible humidity. That can make even tolerable heat miserable. We're next to one of the Great Lakes here, on a mountain, so the weather can vary wildly even hour to hour. I'll be down the hill at my house where it's warm and sunny and then drive up the hill to work where the fog is so thick traffic is at a crawl. This area does have a solid four seasons with distinctive weather, but this time of year is probably the best. There's something very striking about taking a lungful of crisp air with lingering campfire smoke and the leaves crunching underfoot. Being able to wear a sweater while not being too cold or too hot (if I could wear a tank top every day, I would be pleased). All of the colors. There's a route I can drive home from groceries where the vantage point across the water is clear, and it's just a expansive burning gold when the sun hits it.
My dad's house is pretty too, where I grew up. It's a little different—a lot quieter. But there are the same thick trees, the fresh air. A lot more green grass showing, especially with all the fields. My grandpa took care of beef cattle for many years, and when Dad inherited the house, we kept some farm elements, though we mostly only had horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. The neighbors did hay and still have cattle though. A stream runs through both the properties and underneath the road. A couple years ago the water got so high that it washed across, though it's pretty low these days. We used to go out there and watch fish, but I stayed out of the water because of all the gross leeches. Dad still lives in that old brick house. A great, great grandparent built it, though I think the house is still younger than the one I live in now. There's an oil painting hanging in the upstairs hallway that shows the house when it was brand new, as well as my family who built it. I hope dad keeps it if or when he sells that house. A part of me thinks it would be great to keep it in the house as a sort of history record—but I wouldn't want the new owners to just get rid of it. Part of me also thinks it should be kept as an heirloom within the family. But I also don't believe his wife really cares about that sort of thing.
But as much as I'll miss the nostalgia of some of that, I deeply look forward to coming to Australia. There's a chance to have some of those things I haven't had throughout my life. So it gives me hope. A large part of me wants to wipe the slate clean and do something new with my life, even if it's scary. It's unfortunate that the government here has pretty much halted; I hear other countries have put more resources into it instead. It's just going to slow down the process a lot. Hopefully things get well soon. Until then, I look forward to writing and learning about you the old-fashioned way!

I like it, it's nice. tells a bit about who you are and the things important to you. there's a little bit of "down-ness" (can't think of the word) in the undertone of the letter but I think that's fine, it's not overtly woeful or what have you. there's more focus on the things you like/liked, rather than the things you don't/didn't. I also really like the hopeful ending. it has a good flow

There were a couple surprise ones as a kid by my birth mother (in the vein of I knew we were going somewhere but not where or when), like going to the bowling alley or some sort of party. But normally, those things involved large crowds, since charlotte was kind of oblivious to those not being my favorite.

overweight I'll wear, sure. but I'm not obese

Avatar
ChainReaction01 21-Oct-20 12:43 PM
it was two separate instances this morning. a client reported a unit error which I hadn't seen before so I threw it to software. they threw it back saying "this isn't our problem, system is working as intended". I threw it to content and they threw it back saying "we have no record of this unit being pushed, go speak to software". I basically had to throw a tantrum in order to get someone to pay any attention to me, and even then it's still not resolved, it's just not with me any more. the second one was sales tellign a client "oh yeah we can meet your requirements easily, james will be in contact shortly." didn't give me any heads up, and surprise surprise - turns out we can't meet their requiements. I love it when the client gets to tell me "but I have it in writing that you can do this" and my only response is "well my colleague was wrong" - double points for the wrong person being a fuckin manager when I am not

and on top of that, truck was there at that time too
and it was still muddy an dhorrible smelling and all that, wet and etc cos they're supposed toclean but dont clean tha well from when it splashes, and they dont clean out your mop bucket or anything either
so it smelled liek sewage all morning haha

normally, the end of year company functions are a dinner thing, purely optional
I go, I usually have a good time
partners allowed etc
this year, instead of that, they're closing down shop on a friday at noon, then everyone is going to a restaurant they've booked out. no partners allowed, but attendance is expected
is it weird that I don't really want to go because they're making me?

i read in that book about habits that im reading that willpower is like a muscle/energy source and that it does run out
like if you have a day at work that beats you up, youre more likely to do things like skip exercise, cheat on diet, etc
which makes sense as to why some days im really drained
and can't summon willpower to do other things
Avatar
ChainReaction01 22-Oct-20 10:48 AM
I 100% believe that. there are only so many fucks you can give before you run out. disciplined people or those with strong willpower can rack up a debt but there is definitely a point at which you just cannot into things any more
and I think you and I are both in the debt stage tbh
we've put out more than we really shoudl have had to for so long at this point that it's tiring to do normal stuff, let alone extra on top

it was just a rough afternoon that didnt get any better
some shitty stuff happened at work, then I got home and found work that had to be done, then I cooked dinner and spilled most of it on the floor
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Oct-20 05:13 AM
aww. that happens to me sometimes

ChainReaction01 23-Oct-20 05:13 AM

ChainReaction01 23-Oct-20 05:14 AM

WinterVines 23-Oct-20 05:14 AM
did the window thing not work?
Avatar
ChainReaction01 23-Oct-20 05:14 AM
I think it kinda did maybe but it required a shitton of tape which I'm not supposed to use on the walls
Avatar
WinterVines 23-Oct-20 05:15 AM
ah. then maybe a board will work better

ChainReaction01 23-Oct-20 05:15 AM
re work, I get tired of their stance changes. I'm told "dont do anyting the system doesn't allow you to do directly" but then they change their mind every two seconds. "why didny you make that email template with hyperlinks" - because there;s no hyperlink button - " come on james, hyperlinks aren't going to do anything bad" then why the fuck isnt there a hyperlink byutton

WinterVines 23-Oct-20 05:16 AM
yeah. i know they dont listen but you shoudl document allthat stuff

ChainReaction01 23-Oct-20 05:17 AM

ChainReaction01 24-Oct-20 08:51 AM
oh sorry, I didn't realise. nothing really bad happened, it was just a hell of a day. running around to two different medical appointment with nan in the morning, only regular checkup stuff so nothing concerning but she doesn't really understand a lot of it so I have to remember it all and then explain it for her. then she wanted to go out for lunch which was fine except she just uses it as an excuse to bitch. then after that I went to see mum, and she's recovering, but she's still not well - got hella wires poking out of her chest and stuff. and she's doped up on pain meds so she was really needy and agitated at times, I literally couldn't escape her so I ended up hanging around until dad arrived after work. so I didn't get home until real late and despite not having eaten much I just had a cup of noodles. nothing bad happening and nothing to worry about, just a real tiring day

WinterVines 24-Oct-20 12:43 PM
yeah medical stuff can be prettyexhausting. at least your mom seems to be doing okay. i assume the wires and things are pretty standard for all surgeries like that

ChainReaction01 24-Oct-20 12:45 PM
