I hope you are able to stay in touch.

You're moving?

Guess I'll have to buy a plane ticket to Brazil then XD

Oh but of course, I will remain in touch.



To the Amazon jungle to become one with nature and live among the natives, yes.

I'll buy one for you. When it will be winter here in the United States, it will be summer of there. So hot out there its not even funny.

Lol! Enjoy Brazil, DE. Soon to be one of the world's next superpowers, speaking that language which sounds oddly like Spanish, only not, and host to the Rainforests that produce 25% of the worlds Oxygen.

I don't care for Los Angeles in particular, and with the fact my phone calls from five years ago that I wouldn't even recall are on file with our regulatory entity apparently, I'd have to say I'm a bit disillusioned myself.

May your profits be large, and your mujeres caliente!

(I don't speak Portuguese...clearly.)

Good luck with the move, DE. Does this mean you'll go straight into a second summer?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US and Brazil have good connections. Things are looking up for the country. You're right about it being similar to spanish. Many words are the same.

Yes, my friend, my mulheres will be be very quente! It has been said that the city of Belo Horizonte has seven beautiful women for each guy. The population is big. But I'm going to be moving back to a town two hours from the city.

Here are some pictures of the city/farmlands. I think it is a beautiful place. Since I loved nature as a boy, I might want to go back to old habits.

The city.



Well, come to think of it, sort of. I was suppose to move there in December but instead I'll be going there two months from now. Summer starts around December.


Aww, I'll still be in contact, mALX. I'll stick around! I can't leave my forum family!

Oh my god, those waterfalls...I've always wanted to swim near a waterfall

It looks beautiful, but for the gods sake be careful, don't dive off the waterfalls or play chicken with those cows, etc.

Ah, gotta love life. My son is four days old and my wife will be off of work for six weeks unpaid, at which time we'll be living off of my extremely small amount of income. I've accepted that I'll be eating Ramen noodles and other various extremely cheap, unsatisfying foods for many months.

After work to unwind, I play video games on my 55" flat screen, which has been a massive pain in the backside and has been repaired twice already under warranty. Unfortunately it is no longer under warranty and the pristine example of excrement manufactured by Sanyo has given out on me once again.

Just venting a bit because I'm extremely stressed out. A combination of my tv are video games are my only escape from reality and now I have no access to either of them.

I know how that is. Trust me. We live off of Ramen and the charity of others, lol

I just love it that my tv waited until my son was born to give out. A couple weeks ago when we were both working it wouldn't have been a big deal. Now I'm guaranteed to be without a tv for months.

*mALX bundles up spare TV, sends to Kiln through the Cosmos*

...

"Oops!"

*mALX quickly rips open box and shoves food supplies around TV, reseals box*

What we did was we went to garage sales and talked their prices down. Sure, we ended up with one of those giant, bulky tvs that takes up half the room, but it was a TV.

There's also freecycle.org, where you type in where you live and it searches for what you want. It's all free. all you have to do is be willing to pick it up.

First let me say that Grits, the Mister, and the Youngers are all fine. But there’s been an ongoing horrendous situation in Grits World that promises to get much, much worse for quite a long time. I’m mentioning this in case I’ve seemed a little off lately, or if I take a little longer to respond to PMs. (Or forget entirely. It’s not you, it’s me.)

This is a warm, caring community, and I do not want to cause a big fuss with personal drama. I don’t need anything or plan to disappear, I’m just adjusting to a new normal. These things happen if you live long enough. I don’t want to talk about it (really, I don’t), but I thought I should bring it up rather than accidentally behaving like an ass with no apparent reason.




So, now that I have a reason… Nah, I still don’t want to misbehave.

Love you, Grits!

Ditto. Grits, we respect your privacy, all the while wishing you well and the very best for Grits' world.

I wish you well Grits, but somehow I don't believe this line:

Take good care of yourself, Grits. And may the good forces be with you

Thanks, folks. You all are awesome!



^group hug

Sorry I'm a bit late.

Take care of yourself mate.

*Kiln avoids the group hug and gives a gentle pat on the shoulder because he dislikes contact with groups of people*

Seriously though Grits, hope things are alright for you.

*Sneak-hug-attacks Kiln!*

Congratulations to you and yours Papa Kiln!!

Grits, may you find peace in your adaptations. Life is indeed an unpredictable storm at sea, and we do our best to navigate.

Hey, I manage that without needing a reason!... ...

But mostly... ...

Okiedokie...Fair enough... ...

Good luck with whatever it is though...Hope all turns out well... ...

I just briefly skimmed through the more recent posts. Lots of stuff happening. I am about to add to it...LOL. RL is kicking my shiney white hiney recently, so that is why I have not been reading or posting. ThatSkyrimWife has recovered from her surgery and I have recovered (for the most part) with having to put my cat down. But work has gone in the crapper and has required me to take a second job. I will try to pop in from time to time and even post a chapter or two that are already "in the can", but my availability to be here is going to be extremely limited for the foreseeable future.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I didn't abandon Valrimor or reading the great stories here. Hope everyone else gets there stuff sorted and I shall endeavor to do the same.

Later,
TSG

Ooooh, work problems suck. I hope things work out!

I was wondering where you were, worried that everything was okay with your wife's recovery. My best wishes for your situation, and my best wishes for your wife's recovery to be smooth, painfree, and comfortable. <3

Thanks for letting us know what’s going on, SkyrimGuy. I’m glad your wife has recovered. The possibility that she had some complications has been on my mind. I hope things smooth out in the near future.

Thanks for checking in SkyGuy and letting us know what is going on. Best wishes to you and ThatSkyFamily. I'm glad Mrs SkyGuy is doing well but very sorry to hear about the SkyCat and SkyJob. Pop in as you can.

What they said. Good luck!

Just wanna say I love you all and I think about you and wish you all the best

Oh SkyrimGuy....it will take lots of time getting over the loss of a cat....trust me, I know...but be happy about that the Skyrimwife is recovering....

Best wishes to you too Minque. Good to see you popping in every so often.

We just learned on the news that there was a bomb scare at the student center in the university my son goes to. I called him right away, terrified.

He answered laughing; said "I knew you would call worried."

Everything had been cleared before the news broadcast it, thank goodness. WHEW!

A bit ticked we found out hours later, and then from the news station and not the school. Still, no one was hurt, thank goodness.

Oh god! That's terrifying!!

Unfortunately this sort of thing happens all the time. I'm glad there was no actual explosive device there.

It was terrifying just to know someone like that made it onto campus.

@ Kiln - oh yeah, def glad it was a fake bomb. Other than worry about that crap happening near my son, yeah.

The guy was wearing hospital scrubs and surgical mask, and there is a hospital right around the corner. He probably stole the stuff from the hospital - could be in a drug rehab there or something.

He can't be very bright, the picture of him is very close up and clear; and even with the surgical mask it is easy to see his face/eyes/hair/etc. Anyone that knows him won't be able to miss it is him by the picture.

He left the "bomb" when he ran out, and everyone was worried about getting the students out of there and to safety instead of chasing him. Well, at the time we heard they didn't know if it was a bomb or not, they had the bomb squad come out and put it in the truck where they explode them. (turns out it was a fake).

Then they dig through everything in the truck for fingerprints. He'll be caught quickly.

Oh wow. Glad it was just a fake.

Some idiot at my school scrawled something on a bathroom stall so guess what? The building was swept, and for a week they had checkpoints up at each entrance and searched everyone's bag.

My son is home and safe now, and spent the first half hour thinking up things he could have done to scare me when I called worried, lol.

WHEW! Home safe.

So glad to hear that mALXie!

I had a friend who thought it would be great fun to bring his airsoft gun to school.

Funny thing, his backpack was see-through and no one saw it.

How frightening. I'm glad it turned out to be a fake. Tell your son he should text his mother the next time he sees a news van in his vicinity!!

Wait, that might not be a good idea. He might just say, "Hey Ma, I'm going to be on the news!"

Me too, I'd rather have him here where I can see and hear he's safe. He told all his friends to listen for his phone to ring, and it be his mother worried about him. No sooner said it than it started vibrating and it was me, they all started laughing in the background.

So then he comes home and tells me that he was going to say, "I can't hear you, this man in hospital scrubs is shouting at us..." (Click); plus about 30 other things he could have done to freak me out worse.

"I was late because I had to give some guy in hospital scrubs and a mask a ride, he was wanting to be dropped off a block from here..."

The monkey!

"Hey, some guy in scrubs gave me $20 to put a duffel bag in a garbage can. He just told me not to open it."

It was an awful feeling. And no, I don't want him texting me when he should be taking cover, but know exactly what you are saying, lol.

These kind of things make you want to don dark glasses and follow him around. "WATCH OUT! I don't like the look of that guy...did you just cross the street without a crosswalk? Who is that?"

Poor unlucky kid being born last, lol.

Sounds like something my brother would do XD

Exactly.

They don't take those kind of jokes as funny around here, he/she'd be locked up in a juvenile ward and psyched for a year and not have many friends afterward.
