Re: Rant Thread
The official diagnosis the doctor gave me was papillary thyroid carcinoma. This will require a full thyroidectomy within the month and the removal of some enlarged lymph nodes in the surrounding area. I will then need to go on a low iodine diet to prepare my body for radiation treatment which should kill any residual cancer cells. Further tests will be scheduled to see if the cancer has spread. So long as my cancer hasn't advanced beyond the thyroid, I can hope for a full remission.
I won't lie. I'm scared but I'm also ready to fight like hell! I'm experiencing so many different emotions at this moment, it's hard to define them. I'm going to be fine. I'm tough. I've been through hell and back before. No matter what the future holds, I will not let this end me!
I just want to thank you guys for letting me vent this on the forums and for all the kind words you've given me. You are all so supportive and awesome! That is why I love this community so much!

Re: Rant Thread
This is a damn good way to think about it. Cancer's a scary thing, and I'm sorry that you have to experience it first hand, but not letting it get control of you is a great step in beating it. I wish you all the best in your treatment, and I hope that the result is it going into full remission. Keep on fighting, you can get through this.Niabi wrote:Thank you guys, the hugs are very much appreciated at this time! I apologize if my spelling or grammar may be off in this post.

Re: Rant Thread
I've kept my butt away from CM's. Sometimes you get good groups and it's rocky but you get there. Or you get the bad groups who can't pull the first load of trash without wiping somehow. You've only got 6 left Junrei keep going! You'll get it done, I bet ya. In a month you'll have the Phoenix. If you need help with some tactics I could try to lend a hand (although I was pretty clueless most of the time with my group and died loads over silly little mechanics I had no idea existed) if you'd likeJunrei wrote:*sigh* This is depressing. I'm 3/9 for Silver CMs but lately we can NEVER find a damn tank. Time is running out. I dont think I'll ever get this done.

Re: Rant Thread
SPM isn't that bad. Just that one boss that'd fire out palms...I was wondering what they'd do and I didn't move out the way in time. Of course one died and I just sat there like "...so that's what they do..." lesson learned. If it's on fire and heading your way, don't lean into the screen and wonder what it does. Just move .-.

SPM we got to Taran Zhu. He's a PITA in CMs. ><; Me being the only ranged didn't help either.

Re: Rant Thread
When someone needs to meditate, I suggest that they back off a bit so any walls of death won't get them and then meditate. If the DPS helping you kill the orbs needs to meditate, get the other DPS to come in and kill them. Taran Zhu doesn't have much health, and killing him in 3 mins is generally alright. The tank can, if he's good and your healer knows what they're doing, handle Taran on his own while all DPS focus on the orbs. May I suggest going BM if you aren't already? Quilen are very handy as they've got a battle rezz and their 5% crit chance has the same cooldown time as a wolves howl and lasts for 2 mins rather than 1. If you need to, your pet can focus on the orbs and then you focus on Taran Zhu is you need to interrupt.
The fight is basically keeping an eye on the orbs, nuking them as they go and burning down Taran Zhu. Dots are good for this, as you can set them up on him, then focus on orbs rather than the main boss. Not sure if I've explained this well enough, but I hope it helps perhaps, if you need anymore help, PMing would be better? We're getting a little off topic

Re: Rant Thread
That's what I have been using but only with a friend. I'm a little nervous about going with strangers cause my boomkin dps isn't grand. :<cowmuflage wrote:Use Openraid they have some real good groups going.Junrei wrote:We do CMs once a week.

@Kayro
I would...if I was on my hunter. I'm on my druid. I'm considering switching to my WW monk to do it since CMs for druids really....aren't ideal. Unfortunately, if I do switch, I'd need to redo the three hard CMs I've done already(namely SM which is the hardest of the CMs).

Re: Rant Thread
1. No CMs today again(as I ranted about earlier)
2. Flex was a no go cause we lacked people
3. Can't seem to find a normal Garrosh kill.

Re: Rant Thread
He was essentially forced into being her 'brother' figure because he's mine and my mum treats and sees him like a son, I've mentioned this before, but as soon as this happened my sister added him on Facebook, which he first declined but she did it again anyway, immediately afterwards adding him as her 'brother' on Facebook. He felt really uncomfortable about it - she barely even knows him, the only reason she does at all is because he's my friend and he stayed at our house last summer and this summer.
She's like an antisocial recluse who just watches anime all day, ignoring her mother who's suffering from depression and needs all the help she can get, and only ever bothers to be around people when *he's* around and I find it fucking creepy as fuck that she wants him to be her 'brother' when she clearly has some weird creepy crush/obsession with him. I just feel so bad that I invite him over to stay and this is the kind of treatment he's getting. I won't be surprised if he never wants to come and stay again honestly.
Isn't it rather sad that a guy I met during uni makes more of an attempt to comfort my mother and be like a brother to me than my real fucking sister does?
