Actually, I left the door unlocked. >.> He just stayed out because he was fixing a car.
Any advice you or anyone else may have on keeping him feeling guilty and not smoking, though, I'll gladly accept. I'm not exactly speaking from experience here. >.>
Luckily he's getting meds that will take the edge off.
(In PMs so I don't clutter this thread.)
And hey, I was the one to post something that was bound to get replies. No blaming Saturo for that.

ANYWAY.

Idiot tanks that use Thrash and leave group when the CC breaks.

Personally, I'm really not a fan of the whole "BE POSITIVE OR DIE A PAINFUL DEATH!" attitude these forums have developed lately.

*Shrug*
Guess I'm just not a positive person.

I guess she didn't want...*sunglasses.* to pursue happiness.

YEAAAAAAAAH.

(Really, I'm not sure how to explain the spur of Horatio quotes. xD)

Seriously though, I think it's a mixture of there's been a bit of aggression, so people assume extreme happiness is the good reversal. But it doesn't quite balance it out, because it ends with a, "Ohgod, I must be happy or they'll hate me forever. D:" kind of thing.

I think it's a sign of progression. We've gotten a lot of new members, and it shows in the forum shift of attitude. Is that bad? Not necessarily. It just means people need to refind the balance, and remember it is near frakking impossible to gauge emotion from text.

Indeed. 8-)

Edit: :D 8-) ;) :) :roll: <=== smileys like these (added into the text) per example can help gauge an emotion from text.

The fact that, for the second time in two days, my Krush has managed to pull mobs Twice and I have no clue how. First was a BOSS that caused a wipe. Second was in a guild run and he pulled a trash pack...that proceeded to nom him, then kill our group...I'm about to scream, I have no idea what's going on!

Do you keep Krush on passive or defensive? I'm thinking, if you keep him on defensive, certain mobs could send out an invisible pulse that, while it does no damage, does make your pet register you're under attack and getting beat on.

Also, things that irk me...

Spending an hour, tearing the apartment apart to find my phone...only to find it's under a magazine I totally overlooked. Dammit.

Edit: And the slow forums. Especially slow RP threads. It's driving me frikking insaaaaaane. I want my RPs!

...I sound like some sort of addict. O_o'

Truth. People often accuse me of being aggressive when really half the people are no better or worse sometimes yet I always seem to get mauled before anyone else so if I dont put a :) I'll be mauled to death.

MY BROTHER.
(You've never heard that one before, right?)

Just... ugh. Taking something easy and throwing such a royal fit that it suddenly become impossible.

"I CAN'T WRITE! I WON'T DO IT!"
"NO! SCREW THAT! I CAN'T DO THAT!"
*After getting a good suggestion* "No." *After being asked why* "Because I don't like it. NEXT!"

I went to bed at a reasonable time last night (for me). Fell asleep immediately only to wake up an hour later with a headache and a minor panic attack. Took medicine for those two things. Fell back asleep immediately. Woke up fourteen fracking hours later. Fourteen! My whole bloody day is gone.

My son's two month on-off illness has started to grind my gears now. A bit before Christmas he fell ill with a cold and a fever, apparently a throat infection, first set of antibiotics. We managed to get to London to spend Christmas with my family, but there he developed a bad earache. Second dose of antibiotics. We had a week where he seemed to be getting better, but was still very mucusy and coughing. Then he developed another fever, and it was a throat infection. Third set of antibiotics. And yesterday, he woke in kidergarten crying and saying his ear hurt, his fever was pretty high too, and it's another ear infection. Fourth dose of antibiotics.

Also, baby is coughing up a storm, and has periodical eye infections (which she got from her brother, after Christmas), husband is coughing with a bad backache and I'm still bunged up, though the cold is finally passing.

I wish it was summer already.
