    So My Wife Died...

    So today is the day. We were only married 8 years but all in we were together for 17. I was skiddish over the whole marriage thing. I don't know why anymore but back then it felt like - why mess up such a great thing. Also she made me move from Boston to Rhode Island and turned my commute from...

    So My Wife Died...

    So this week has been a kick in the dick. I knew it would be - leading up to our anniversary on the 13th. The friends and family train of people coming up has pretty much run its course I think. Which is fine, it had to stop eventually. I think both me and the kids have to get used to life...

    So My Wife Died...

    - I've been drinking so I'm probably over sharing but here goes: In the early days when we started dating (2006 - 2009), when I lived in Boston and she lived in Providence. When a new Call of Duty would come out she would show up at my apartment with pizza and beer wearing a trench coat with...

    So My Wife Died...

    So today was a good day. Turns out searching for my wife was warranted. I went on to her phone and she has stuff all over the place. In her notes app I found stuff she had written dating back to 2014. At first I thought it might all be journal / personal stuff but then there were things...

    So My Wife Died...

    Thanks for all the good ideas and support. I'm pretty much following what @BrutulTM suggested. I'm taking a long pause before making any big changes. It would be nice to be closer to family and friends but I think for now I still have to let the dust settle. Believe me both my family and...

    So My Wife Died...

    and I'm left with two young kids. A couple of weeks back I inadvertently derailed the Jimmies Rustled thread and some folks suggested I start my own topic here. I wasn't going to, but I'm kind of coming unglued a bit so I figured why the fuck not. In some ways it's kind of what I...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Thanks everyone. It really is nice to hear. I'm already getting those a bit @Bandwagon , and man do they bring you to your knees. The other night I was getting the kids upstairs for bed. We go out on the deck and say goodnight to Papa (My wife's dad) as normal. These days we also talk to...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I talk to her out loud pretty much any time I'm alone. It really does help. When it comes to writing, I wrote her eulogy the day after and it helped immensely. I was really proud of it, and this past Sunday when we had her service there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Prior to her death we...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Hey thanks. I guess to add an addtional rustle to the thread. When my wife was told by her oncology team they thought she had about 3 weeks left (the tumor in her lung was pushing on her heart but in the end her liver gave out) in mid April, I took FMLA leave to take care of her. Through my...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My wife passed 2 weeks ago at 41 from breast cancer. I have a 2 and a half year old girl and 5 year old son. Everything fucking sucks. I'm sorry for you and your friend.

    Health Problems

    So much this. They said it was a probably cyst and we believed them because we wanted so badly to believe them. When what we should have done is the exact opposite.Treated it as the most aggressive cancer the world has ever seen until the biopsy comes back and said otherwise. Be the pit bull...

    Health Problems

    Agree with this, but to go a bit further. In late November 2021 my wife felt a lump in her left breast. She had just finished breastfeeding our daughter within the last year or so. That, combined with her age ( Just turned 40 ) led the docs to believe it was a clogged or inflamed milk duct...

    Soulstone Survivors

    How in the holy hell do you do a run in under 8 minutes??? I just had a run using the deathknight. I had the spinning death beam skill at the start and the +40% damage (-20% aoe) rune and everything died in 1 hit pretty much the whole match and I was still only able to get just under 10 minutes...

    vampire survivors

    I had to refund power ups and not invest in curse so the enemy hp was more manageable. Tried a few times before without success. Used the arcana that allow knife and boomerang to crit along with the one that doubles healing.

    Forza Horizon 5

    Edit: Quoted wrong text. This is what I had been doing as well. I just assumed it was because I was bad / didn't have the right car. Seeing that this is kind of just how it always goes takes the wind out of my sails a bit to play this more. Its fun, but the baked in gimmicky challenge to...

    Saw this last night and felt terrible for him. I guess the only silver lining is that while I'm sure he's always going to have that hoarder-esque degenerate part of himself. I still think he put a lot of his life on hold wanting to be close to his mom and take care of her. Hopefully he is able...

    I am going full evil. I've been stuck with nenio as a buff bitch and daeran as a healer. Next run I'm murdering the fuck out of them so fast.

    I'm going lich next for sure. I stumbled in to trickster and I basically got to turn some folks in to lamps here and there.

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I'm level 11 now and my biggest problem is that I can't hit anything for shit and I'm not sure what the issue is. I'm buffing / debuffing as much as I can but killing anything takes forever. Its just a huge miss-fest. Thankfully even with me borking that meat shield build I'm still pretty...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    So I decided to stick with my original run, I made it to where the world really opens up and it's....a lot. I'd never played the first game but in the last couple of years my friends and I started a Zoom DND game so I thought this would be fun (it is) but other than knowing this had a DND base...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I had been following that meat shield video a few pages back. I didn't realize that Lich could be missed out on completely with no way to unlock after the fact. I tried to pivot to another Mythic class but when I went to respec in game it only let me choose trickster. Bit bummed. Is it...

    Making Home Insurance Companies Pay for Damages

    You have it pretty much right. If you can find a burst or leaking pipe you might have a shot but unless there was a specific event that caused the roof to leak they tend to chalk it up to deferred maintenance / wear and tear and will deny. Still worth giving it a shot though.

    I can sing an absurd amount of kids learning tube songs from memory. The funny thing is after its been on all night and in the morning we're in to the deeeeep cuts and the song on is the 63 islands of Singapore or some shit. He's like the guy that wrote all the books in the abandoned house...

    Bluey on Disney+ or just DVR'd from the regular Disney channel is the favorite of my wife and I for our kids. The characters don't talk in the infuriating way they do in shows like PJ Masks, Puppy Dog Pals....fucking almost everything else. Its also pretty funny for adults as well because there...

    Toghast lvl 5 kind of sucks. I'm playing Ret and it feels like a slog. The stupid dogs that spawn when out of combat and bad RNG on movement speed skills just make it a pain in the ass. It isn't even hard as much as its tedious. I had to quit on lvl 5 of layer 5 yesterday because the baby...

    I had thrown a sub his way years ago but for the reasons others have outlined I stopped watching. He went off on someone in his chat over nothing (can't recall if it was an opinion he disagreed with or perceived backseating) but his response was insufferable - and his chat lemmings piled on so I...

    What's your craziest sexual experience thread?

    As I was reading this I was expecting it to end with "...to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air" or something along those lines. Did this get back to the TA? Did people talk? Also it sounds like this isn't Claire's first rodeo. Were the plastic cups disposable? If there were only a...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Was sold out on the Best Buy site but ordered on the Cyberpower site itself. If they indicate the build is delayed due to card stock I will probably just cancel. Honestly I may cancel either way. I had planned to build myself.

    Any hope for this painting?

    If you can afford 5k for another painting you owe it to yourself to pay 500 for this masterpiece. Something tells me this work will inspire more lasting joy and conversation than anything else you pay more for at this point.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This. I recently finished up the story on the Ally side. A few months ago I rolled a paladin. I had never played the class before so I didn't really know what I was missing from the early days to where they currently sit. It felt hollow but it went by quickly and once I got to 120 there was...
