Kap said she'd wait until she got a notification, so maybe a little traffic here will get her attention. I don't want to keep That's a saying, right?looking a dead horse in the mouth, but I keep groaning that I can't seem to get here with any regularity. I'm just... exhausted, haha. I haven't even unpacked my things yet. I go through phases where I REALLY miss NoVa. There was some seriously good food up there, and not a lot down here. I've been craving Kogiya, a great Korean BBQ place in Annandale, like crazy. You get the meat sweats, but it's so worth it. I hope all is getting well-er with you and your fam! |

Where are you, btw? Not sure you ever said.
Yeah, the family is doing better. The online school was *not* good for the kids in any way. The teachers want to continue it in the fall, which is ridiculous and has Fairfax recalling a couple of school board members. It's ridiculous--90% of them are young, and they were all first in line for the vaccine, and now they STILL don't want to work? Ugh. Don't get me started. Anyway, daughter will be at Tech next year, so... that's one sort of out of the nest.

Sorry guys, been extra awol on the site, as in like totally awol, I suck at checking in on Discord even to let people know I was alive.... I had a bad concussion ummm... two months ago, a month and a half...three months, maybe it was March, holy crud I don't remember when. Screens have been ongoing heck for me but slowly improving (I mean add in slow healing due to homeschooling two kids at work on their online classrooms.... so by evening the brain is exhausted). As this is a long weekend, I am gonna hope that and plan that on Monday I will get a post up, it might be short or not up to my usual stuff, but I am still here.
And that much writing is it at the moment. I need a setting for this site that is dark mode utterly, the white is HORRIBLE, my ipad and phone are all in dark mode and it helps a lot. Edit: WTF they have like Shadow, but then they still have the bright grey boxes around the typing things, it is almost worse then the white text boxes... cause the contrast is so much more intense Last edited by Kapera; May 22nd, 2021 at 03:46 PM. |

Hey Kap! Yeah, well... I was AOL for a month or two, too.
Sorry to hear about the concussion! Those are pretty scary. And yeah, my only ask on this site for the past 15 years has been for more skins. Anything other than Parchment is hot garbage, IMO. Try this: https://write-box.appspot.com/ I craft a lot of my posts there because I can't stand to compose in the little box here sometimes and I can't be bothered to open Word or keep track of more files on my PC, hehe. If you can bear the bright white background for a moment, click the three little horizontal bars at the top right and go to settings. You can flip the background to black and the text to any color is easy on your eyeballs. Then you can just paste it in here once your done composing! I hope that works for you. Some concussions are slow to recover from, but it does get better. (Mine did, anyway.) Last edited by mad_gondsman; May 22nd, 2021 at 07:39 PM. |

I'm a little south of Richmond now, Ruff! It's not bad. I just got really citi-fied being up there in grand ol' Fairfax, so getting back to country living it taking some time. We got family just a block away, though, so it really is a good change.
And I know it's stating the obvious... but it's crazy how much farther a dollar goes outside of the Capital Beltway, haha. I know one or two of the teachers up there and I bet a lot of them are complaining so they won't have to deal with that I-95 traffic again. |

Oh no! What happened Kap? Hope you're doing better!
MG - Family down the block is HUGE, man. We never had that (our families are both up north) and it makes parenting a lot harder. I'm happy for you guys.

Hope you're doing alright, Kap! Give us an update when you can bear to!
Add: Haha, I mean update as in your condition, not the game. That can wait! Last edited by mad_gondsman; Jun 2nd, 2021 at 10:28 PM. |

I corked my head on the corner of an oak table at work...
I didn't get to the post and this weekend is a right off cause of other issues.... I am gonna really try for next week to the weekend, really hard. Otherwise I might get one of you to email me the two posts and I can email back my response, the white text box is brutal here. |

As my little sidekick would say, "Ouchies!"
No worries, Kap! If anyone understands "issues" it's me, hehe. I don't want you to experience any discomfort, though! If you absolutely want to post, I don't mind helping, but again... I don't want you to overdo it. I've known folk who have had the same symptoms after concussions and it subsided after a few months. First and foremost, take care of yourself. We'll be here whenever you can pop in. Did you check out write-box? (It will be painfully white until you change it to black, but maybe your Mr can assist with that.) |

Hey MG. Kap hasn't been around since June and D2J's over at Lost Coast now. I am going to retire this game from my subscribed threads, but if you ever manage to resurrect it, shoot me a PM. Cool?
