@Cerberus If you do, note that this is one of those rare cases where the EMP is not just for emergencies. I usually use it fairly early, to get rid of his Chimera and Neocyte Guard, which otherwise kill too many of my cards through Counter.
@Cerberus Yeah, that one is pretty useless. I never actually use it. At most, I try it out for fun, when the rest of the deck is überstrong and I only need 8-9 cards to win.
@Cerberus (1) I have to do this little thing called "work", and (2) I don't like collectible card games. Or fighting games, really. Word games and puzzles for me, thank you.
My mother-in-law is a wonderful woman. She's with a guy who is deteriorating physically and mentally even as you look at him. I think their relationship is turning abusive. What can I do?
It's true that he's had lots of health issues, but where do you draw the line? I mean, it's like saying "Cerberus just tore my arm off because he's in pain. He didn't mean it."
Yes, her happiness. Physical well-being, I don't think so.
I probably shouldn't even have put it out there. But it's bugging me just now.
@aedia Thanks. I'm sure she's having a lot of difficulty recognizing and accepting that his behavior has changed. I'm having a hard time thinking of the phrase abusive relationship with respect to her as well.
My advice would be: call her, say you'd like to talk to her, make an appointment. Then say you hope she won't be offended with your meddling with her private affairs. Then say that you've noticed "Tom" seems to be going through a difficult time of late. Ask how she feels about that, how she is coping. Then, depending on what she says, gently suggest that you have noticed a "change" in his behaviour toward her and that he has been nasty to her. If she tries to talk it down, say you were there...
@Cerberus I understand that concern, but we have a really close bond. I think it will be ok. If not, I'll find some time with her alone soon.
Maybe shopping on Sunday.
So what would you do with a person who you love who is not the person who you love? And probably never will be again, especially if they have gone sour?
@Cerberus No, it's her house. And he has no means to support himself because he's made poor financial decisions his entire life (which is why we have never much liked him).
@Cerberus He would not go for that, I am certain. Everyone else has a problem, not him.
@aedia Well, I agree, but she doesn't really care for him physically. She does however, care for her mother as well, and has in home assistance for that.
Someone has to tell the doctor he's going nuts. They won't see him long enough in those 5 minute appointments to notice for years, but if they know to look, they can help you convince him he needs further checkups and support.
Oh, but my recent addition of some cards with higher hp seems to have helped: Draco Queen and some 7-hp BT card (3 speed) will survive the evil action cards.
Perhaps we should give that developer the boot, the one who has only 9 Colossi? I mean, sure, he has a 99.8 % win rate and has designed the game, but... he's just not as hot as the other girls/boys waiting in line.
Tell me something, do you ever lose cards? I mean, I've always won and presume I didn't permanently lose any cards that 'died', but maybe I'll lose this raid: will I lose cards?
Wow. What happens when I actually lose? I hate losing. Gives me the feeling that the universe is about to suddenly contract back into the density of this period, right here -> .
Aristotle said 'All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind', or something like that. I'm sure that, should he have had the opportunity, he would have been a proponent of the internet saying something along the lines of 'But the internet is cornerstone for the future of all comprehension!'
Um, sorry, I know you're a starred-comment god. Your last one.
(Speaking of niece, she has reportedly utterly refused to take a nap today. At all. She's been up since oh-my-god-o'clock without a wink of sleep. Let's just say, her mommy is really cranky.)
@aedia Apparently. Problem is, when she's this tired, she forgets half the skills she's learned. E.g. going down the step from the kitchen to the family room. Hence, thud -> bawling -> even more frazzled mom.
@Martha Aw. Poor lil' thing. Happens to me too. Well, not the stairs, but the forgetting. Just last night I stayed up too late, forgot how to use the Windows command line properly and overwrote my java executable with nothing by accident. Then the installer wouldn't fix it for me because the old version wasn't there. It was sad. I was sad. I should have gone to bed before that happened.
That is a true story, by the way. I am not making up my stupidity.
Until a few months ago, I had always thought that sentences like this were correct:
They always hated me being an atheist.
Only later to find out that the correct form is:
They always hated my being an atheist.
I came to understand the reason behind this and started using the proper f...
I assume that the following sentences are grammatically correct:
