Yeah, there are select audiences where we cant.
having someone I can say "life absolutely … " was a plus pre-covid.
The simple letting off steam and not pretending all is well for a moment has felt free-ing at times.
Of course the linelines aren’t as readily availible these days - so I’m tempted to get a notebook and a #2 and try writing.
oye let me tell ya, the number of times I’ve had to pull that gnome away from multiple grabby hand dk’s
thankfully he’s very aerodynamic 
Good morning dudes and dudettes, I hope you’re all being good and behaving yourselves 
“You read that one too? I thought I was alone in my love of that story.”
/smile
I reccommend yellow legal pads and regular black ink BIC pens.
I hope everyone had a great (or at least tolerable) Wedensday. The weekend is nearly here and we’re all surviving!
I know the quote “fake it until you make it” and it does hold some merit. But you absolutely cannot do so to the point where you’re unable to control that which you can normally control.
There are three hings I always return to when I feel s**ts just kicking my teeth in. First is the Serenity Prayer.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
The second is the Shaker Hymn.
The third is Chopin’s Nocturnes and Preludes. If you can get them on CD or even digital download, I highly recommend it.
These, along with deep breathing execrcises are my three “go to” tools when I feel things are closing in around me. Writing helps me as well.
But NEVER think you need to always pretend things are great when they’re not. If you’re concerned for your daughter, invite her to meditate with you. It may help her as well. God willing, it’ll help you both.
Prayers and thoughts for you both, Izzy 
“I listen to this…”
“It gives me the strength to look forward to tomorrow.”
I’m gonna give you an orc hug.
orc squeeze hug
And some shaman luck. 
riptide 
a lot of the topics in GD /ugh
luckily i’ve been able to hold my tongue
been somewhat recharged lately too thanks to the folks for the positive comments
Hey now! You’re squeezing too hard! You stop drinking that demon blood right this instant and you put those intestines right back where you found them, orc-person!
You do it right now or I’ll go get my spray bottle and rolled up news paper and swat you something feirce on your ankle!
“How do you know? She ain’t squeezing YOU.”
/giggle
If you’re not squeezing too hard, then where did all those intestines come from? Huh? HUH?
“Her last battle. You ain’t ever seen her covered in blood, guts, and gore, before? You aren’t very observant.”
/giggle
“And we aren’t talking about me…”
(Points to the Orc giving Izzy the Orc Hug.)
i am unhappy and without purpose.
wonder if there is a point to being alive for me. I think I’m just living out of spite and out of wondering what’s to come.
“I am more afraid of Dying, than I am of Living. It keeps me alive.”
Bro just chuff back some fat darts and crack open some beers you will be happy. Just do that whenever you feel blue and if you’re like me it’s 24/7 so you can chuff darts all day long
what is a dart
and i am not supposed to drink alcohol on the psychiatric medication i take 
“And well you shouldn’t. I use to be on some meds, and I learned the hard way that they don’t mix with Alcohol.”
Fat dart = fat joint bro
Yeah if you aren’t supposed to drink because of a medicine, I wouldn’t.
But I will say that my doc who prescribed me adderall for my adhd told me not to drink. But the pharmacist told me “drink all you want just if you feel weird, don’t” but I have no idea what medicine you take so it’s prob best for you to talk to your doc/pharmacist.
But hey, if life was good/fun games wouldn’t need to exist, eh? Pretty sure everyone who has ever played wow more than once feels similar to you
“This IS my Medication.”
Good morning lounge 
How is everyone?
