    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    That fucking sucks. I'm a huge baby when it's hot out and not even 96 degrees hot. My ass would be in a hotel so fast. I wouldn't care if it was 2 hours away. Good luck to you man.

    So My Wife Died...

    Reading this was..challenging. At the same time I'm really in awe of her. I just had to read it, she had to write it. Along with all the others. I don't know how she did it. I posted this to Facebook, I don't think I'll post any others, but I was so proud of her I wanted her family and friends...

    Tomorrow is my son's fifth birthday. This weekend was his family party. Next weekend is the ones with the kids from his pre-school. Tomorrow the only gift he will receive is the first one from mom. Along with the letter I have to read to him. I've already told him. I wanted him to be...

    Fuck cancer. It doesn't come close but it's the best there is. Fuck it in to fucking oblivion. Glad it's small and your getting in quickly.

    The one that always got me was "There will be a day you'll pick your kid up and hold them, put them down, and never pick them up again. It may happen without you even realizing it." Its similar to: "There was a day your group of friends from the neighborhood growing up went home for dinner and...

    So My Wife Died...

    Overall ups and downs. My son's fear at bedtime continues. The strategy that's been working is when I tuck him in I hold him real tight and make him repeat after me. I am calm, I am safe, nothing is going to happen to me, nothing is going to happen to dad, nothing is going to happen to his...

    I just might take you up on that. Also, not sure which kind of breast cancer your wife had - my wife had triple negative, but if you ever want some helpful insight we wracked up a bunch with hindsight being 20/20. And I don't mean like - Try this Essiac Tea or try a low methionine diet -...

    So My Wife Died...

    Of all the shitty things the one thing we were both grateful for and I'm still grateful for is that we were still given the time to plan. Get our affairs in order. Put things in place for the future for our kids. I can't imagine what it's like for your neighbor. Just flicking a lightswitch and...

    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...

    - 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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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...
