If that keeps up, eventually we'll just be calling you @Bone
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!
- Thread starter strawman
- Start date
That is a whole different nickname.
Staying with my parents for a week whine and severe chronic pain whine.
Is it bad that I’d rather deal with the vomit inducing pain?

Does this mean you won't be in Eorzea?
It seems like your parents are a severe, chronic pain. Any way you can get out of it? Or shorten it?
This. Oh my goodness gracious, THIS. You don't deserve them and their abuse. Don't inflict this on yourself.
I’m back now and trying to decide which I want more before early access:
More Moogle books for fun mounts and minions
To finish the MSQ (I have one gross dungeon ahead)
To get weaving and botany to 70. I’d like a money maker for the expansion.
Phew.
I generally don't do more than one home pastoral visit in a day, just because scheduling such things is challenging as you never know how long each visit is going to last. But today, I knew that the morning visit (funeral planning with a homebound member and her daughter) would only take an hour at the most, because the member gets tired really easily (COPD and being on high doses of O2 will do that to you). So I booked a second visit for the afternoon. Again, one that generally takes an hour.
The morning session went as planned, and was smooth. (Though they didn't have any of the nice Indian sweets that I like, which made me sad. Those things a tasty!)
The afternoon session took 2+ hours. Of counseling. With a 95+ year old, who apparently, really needed to talk and wants to die (he says this multiple times every visit - he's not so much depressed [and yes, this avenue has been explored], as old, sore, and tired, and doesn't want to linger once he inevitably gets sick/bed-bound). He talked more about his (long) deceased wife today, which was actually quite nice. He hasn't talked about her much in the past.
I am so glad I went through the Sunday service this morning before the first visit, because I am done. I'm exhausted and my brain is fried and I need a drink. Tomorrow is my day off, so it's OK that I'm done, but woof, I am not doing that again if I have a choice.
So again I say - phew!

I need to stop waking up at 2 or 3 AM unable to fall asleep again. I don't want to take sleeping pills, but if they can get me through the night. Sleeping until 4 AM is a victory lately.
I'm just lucky this is happening during reduced work hours. I can't imagine going in after nights like these.

Hmm, does this qualify as cruel & unusual punishment?
Not so far. The standards haven’t been updated yet to include any sort of guaranteed QoS.

And it's for this sort of reason euthanasia for emotional/mental grounds is legal in Belgium, if you get a psychiatrist and psychologist to sign off on it. It's pretty rare, but it does happen.
I very much know the feeling. Plenty of acquaintances and people I'd consider friend, but none that I'd really say are my best friend in any real capacity. Next to my girlfriend, the person I can most talk about my real feelings (that is, not just a "let's go have drinks" buddy) with is probably my mother-in-law, and I don't think I can ask her as my best man
In September this year, I'll be attending the wedding of a former classmate of my wife's. I've met this guy like three times in my life. I'm also going to be the best man at his wedding, because apparently he had no one else he could ask.
I mean, I'm honored, and I'll do it, but it's kinda weird.
I was best man at my best friend's wedding and he was best man at mine. We've been friends for over 30 years. He's the only person that I talk to from school days though.
Only possibly?
Oh joy! I’m getting red spots and losing my voice.
Just outsource one of them
Anybody want to do a translation that'll help you make a name for yourself in the translation market in Mainland China?Just outsource one of them
And, take the wife on holiday.Just outsource both of them
Sure! But my limited translation skills probably aren't going to make the name you were hoping for.
You can all say you knew the "Great White Idiot" before she became infamous!

You want to do WHAT with laxatives and capybaras?
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Blame the alcohol and drugs.
(that's Google Translate of your first question, by the way, is it in any way recognizable?)
