O.o
« on: May 31, 2004, 01:26:06 pm »
you know, I\'ve been planning something with my wife for weeks, but the fact is, I\'m just now beginning to really think about this...


first off, there\'s good news and bad news. the good news is... my wifes step father just died.

I know, I know, that\'s not something most people would be celebrating... but you would if you knew the guy. the bastard spent years torturing and abusing the woman I love. she joined the military to get away from him. then later he wouldn\'t allow dani to visit her own mother.

the thing that\'s really just now sinking in is the fact that I\'ve let my wife talk me into visiting her mom in maine next year. I\'ve talked about it before. but I\'ve not really spent much time thinking about it. we\'ll be living in her house for a month and a half without a computer (yes, I tried to get my wife to let me take it...) or internet service. we\'ll be out in the woods in one of the most humid states in america...(dani likes to tell me the seasons in maine are mud, wet and snow)

I\'m gettin a little unhappy about the idea...

Wow... A month and a half without a computer, and nothing fun to distract you from it?...
Peanut...


Maybe there are Internet Cafes in the area? These things aren\'t very cheap, but it\'s one and a half months! 1.5! 6 weeks! 42 days!

1008 hours of total boredom!


Peanut...
Is she trying to test you or something?


Oh, wait, I know how you can evade it!
You got asthma! A humid place might make it worse! Tell her \"I\'d really want to be with you and your mom in a shack in the woods with mud and no comps for a month and a half, but... You see... It\'s the asthma... So... I\'ll stay here and watch over the house and comp and stuff...\"

anyway, she\'s letting me take my PS2, I\'ll have san andreas by then, I should come back half sane...

on the upside, New York is only a six hour drive from there. someplace to buy new games

Try to make the best of it, tyger... As hard as it sometimes is to fathom, RL can be a fun game sometimes too, as I\'m sure you know =)

Here\'s wishing you a good trip, without too much boredom..

And if there are no offlicences near by i think they just released patch 3.2 of Step Mother Murder  :P  ;)  (incase your wife reads this - since she is registered on the forums - it was a joke, im sorry, please dont kill me?)

meh, the mother in law isn\'t bad, it was the mother in laws husband that needed murdering.

and alcohol, I\'ve never been much on the stuff. and it\'s euthanizing effects have never worked on me. one time, some friends and I decided we were going to get drunk for thanksgiving. I downed a fifth of vodka, a fifth of tequila, a fifth of black velvet, some smaller bottles of:  three kinds of pucker, vanilla schnapps, peppermint schnapps, buttershots, and this other clear stuff without a label. the only difference I felt was this slight blush across my cheeks...
it was funny too, my friends tried to tell me \"after you drink this glass of black velvet and dr pepper, you won\'t be able to walk across the room.\" after drinking all of that stuff I was still able to cross the room. I did feel a little sick to the stomach though. lots of liquid in my belly without any food.

Some people are able to have more alcohol in their blood without experiencing it\'s toxic effects.. :P

often proportional with ones size, and how often one drinks..

but hey, alcohol\'s dangerous, stick to drugs :P

It might be painful, but it\'s good to take a break, especially if the time can be used to build relationships (and yes, I know that doesn\'t *always* work).

I think internet addiction *is* a real problem- occasionally there\'s been internet outages and I was practically shaking.  That\'s Bad.

Drinking alone? What\'s the fun in that?

It\'s not a problem as long as you got something to do.
I don\'t have a problem to go to vacations and stuff with my family, as long as it\'s not boring.

He\'ll just play SA and finish it 4 times...
When I got VC I finished it 5 times in a row :rolleyes:

So why exactly aren\'t you allowed internet and a computer? Then again you could try installing Linux on your PS2 and connecting it to the phones there. Uh...Or not.

okay, this may sounds really weird coming from a computer addicted person.
Take the time off, when i\'m on vacation, i don\'t miss my comp, i have fun with other stuff that i otherwise wouldn\'t do.
It is good to go to the woods, go build your own shack.
Create a campfire and burn off the forest.
Roast marshmellows, and get blisters in your mouth.
Have all the funs of the open air.
Go train on your survival skills or sumthing, that could be fun.
And well, if that won\'t work, shoot the old woman and go home.
tell the officers you heard a cry of an animal and you wanted to shoot it and well uhhh you accidentilly shot her.
It works in the movies.

get some quality time in with your wifey. Trust me you can use it later to your advantage. Like \"honey I\'m gonna go out with the boys tonight\" or \"honey I need some lovin\'\" :D
