Wait, so, the forums sort of adopted the same thing as in with games, where penalties grow. Or is this just for only sockpuppeting?
They always have. Although with the forums there used to be some age out if someone did not do anything wrong in a long time. I donāt know if that is still true or not.

Itās not exactly for sock-puppeting as much as it is for abuse of the reporting system. Sock-puppeting where the same person is posting on multiple characters/accounts is a bit different. It varies by degrees.
Penalties, both in-game and on the forums have always multiplied. While they may change slightly up or down in severity they mostly follow a basic cadence. Such as 1 day > 3 day, 1 week > 2 week, 1 month, etcā¦
Reporting abuse isnāt as forgiving because itās considered exploitation. The first offense may be 2 weeks in most cases, then 2 months and next perhaps 6 months (weāve rarely gotten to the third).

Nice! I love my tablet for reading.
I was always a diehard physical book person, but when I moved states and realized just how many books I hadā¦ yeahā¦ Special books Iāll probably try to get hardbound, stuff like Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Valdemar books and other series that are important to me, but Iāve loved being able to grab digital books. A lot of them now have a cheaper price than the physical, which wasnāt always the case.

Hope this is ok if not my apologies.
I used to do a fair bit of creative writing. I also just kinda make up whole stories in my head involving my characters, all part of some universe I made using the setting of Warcraft. Maybe I could try picking that up again. I always kinda wanted to ink down Guuahās whole backstory.
Swimming is a hobby of mine too, but canāt really do that right now.
Maybe that can help, just something to focus on to stay in the here and now instead of dwelling on the past.

My Dad and I would by hard covers and share them. Then he would give them to his local library. They were so thrilled. That country library had so many new releases.

Took a spill today, my left foot slipped from under me and I came right down, bouncing off the toilet and landed directly on my stump.
That hurt soooo much.
Crawled to my room and got in my bed and sat up. My friend, who has been staying with me, helped me back to my wheelchair. Took some pain killers and slept for most of the day.

Oh no! I am glad you had a friend there to help you. How is it healing overall? I hope you did not do any lasting damage and I am glad you did not hit your head or anything!
You have a whole new world set before you you can write about, and a lot more wisdom and perspective to go with it! Go for it!
This is excellent and once the incisions heal I suspect the docs are going to 1000% approve it! What a great way to be in the now, engage the senses, feel accomplished, and honestly get back some of the strength and such you need. Rehab after surgery is always hard and water based activity is one of the safest for most people.

Itās healing fine, a little seepage, but controllable. Waiting for the holidays to be over with so I can schedule appointments with the VA.
I landed on my butt, after banging my stump. had to sit still for a bit to catch my breath as it took the wind out of me.

Oh jeez, that sounds both painful and terrifying. Iām hoping youāre doing okay now.
Falls are downright scary. Try to take it easy for the holidays.
Yeah, my incision is healed up so I should be able to go in no problem once it warms back up. I always found it relaxing to just move around in the water.
I do need that strength too, even just being up and about for 4-5 hours is pretty exhausting. After the Eve festivities I had to lay down for a bit. And yeah, I think itāll help my mind too, utilizing those senses to just be here instead of elsewhere.
Now if only I could get it to warm right back up againā¦

Ask your doc about any indoor pool or rehab suggestions. They may have some options for you. Exercise is generally something they are happy to encourage if the patient is open to it. They may have knowledge of something you can use during winter.

YIKES. We closed at 6 and we still had lines at every register at 5:50. I donāt remember it staying that crazy that late in previous years! From 3-5:30 was pretty chill for me, helping at service desk, starting cleanup and closing and such. Then the next 45 minutes we were running around trying to do stuff we canāt do when customers are still checking out. Shut down a self checkout pod at 5:30 for closing procedures and had to reopen it at 5:45 because lines were so long.
At 5:56 a customer said āI hope you get out of here soon!ā and I came as close as I have ever come to making the kind of smart-aleck remark that would get me disciplined. āIf you really hoped that, you would have come in earlier!ā was what I very nearly said. Ah, retail.
And I open Thursday, so in that last 45 minutes we put a whole bunch of stuff away that we donāt normally, and it will be my task on Thursday to sort it all out and put things back to normal. I donāt actually mind doing that part, but itās a bit of a rush getting it all done on time.
But itās done for now, so Iām off to start work on things to take to holiday dinner at Momās tomorrow!
