Nice ashy, nice ashy...
Edit: Keira should be shot and hanged for her performance in King ArthurWell, ok that's maybe a bit rough but she could do better imo
King Arthur doesn't count, it was a practice!
if we're killing anyone it's the screenwriter and director, then we can do the same regarding Man on Fire before that director can botch Keira's next movie
Rizzo said:When? In ten years? 1½ years have already passed...
I know that it must eventually come, but I want to try the best I can right now! I *want* to change... can it be that hard? Yea, I s'pose
well if youve been that way for all your life, 24 years and all, changes arent going to happen instantly. but if you keep at it you'll notice your changing.
@ash: ooo i know her. lol. im a nub when it comes to celebs. but i knows what i likes and she is sechsy

anyways, now that I've interrupted, what is the real problem? something with Rizzo? a few white hairs early? shave it off man
Haha Ash, no white hairs on me yet (I had white hair when I was born, so in my family it's reversed hahaha). I just have this issue with things, but you can read about that in earlier posts. We just talk about things that happen in RL in this thread, including the problems that will inevitable occur.

eh, I had that whole real life thing this weekend, played some poker, managed to take it all in 2 hands, that was fun
@Ash - Oi, Ash....now you sound like a person that I would get along quite well with.....I love Bruce and the Evil Dead line.....I also love zombies with all of my body (including my pee pee)....I also love Kiera...... So how much do you really love zombies though? Do you think they exist? And why exactly do you love them? Just curious is all.
@Rizzo....well mate, like I said bfore....I know your a good guy and your gonna think about all this next time you have some sort of angst in your relationship...and when you think about it, you will come to realize that if you dont your relationship with your special girl is going to suffer if you dont get over this obstacle. Being a man (albeit a sensitive dramatic one) you will probably come to grips and just do it. Take baby steps though. Start by saying your upset. Perhaps later tell her why. You will be relieved once you do and with a little pratice hopefully it will be easier. 1.5 years ...youve still got some time.
@grogs - my personal comments on baal:
1. merc gear - eth kelpie uppped with an amn gives decent damage with leech and 75% slow (this is what makes baal a little puppy, reapers toll WILL NOT weaken/slow down baal as much IMO as the decrep is too low level, guillames with a 15 ias jewel, upped rattlecage with 15 ias as well (might want to double check break points on this one, if you dont need the ias go for mf, i.e. ptopaz), this will give you 60% CB, BTW the cap is 95%
2. your gear - I would go the smite (ITD) route as well, with CB gear on per everyone else suggestions. Goblin toe, guillames, rattlecage would put you at 85%. I would use a crescent moon phase blade per CRGs suggestion for the static. Medusas gaze has 20% slow as well so this could be a shield option, or a HOZ which is always good. Nai's on the switch is fine, just keep the other gear in your inventory/stash, as soon as lister is toast put on your smite gear and head through the portal. Make sure you have an arachnid mesh as this provides slow as well.
Have a great day all....Imma be pretty busy.

Thank you Ronin. I will try your thing here, and say that I'm upset next time something like this happens, in a tone so she knows I'm serious. I thank you all for the support and ideas you've provided for me, but now it's testing time. Talking about it in here anymore won't help
I will let you know of any progress.
Thought about posting in this thread just to ask Corax if he could Xmas-up my 'tar, but that would be disrespectful to you all.
So, instead I'll subject you to a little knowledge about me.
I'm 30 (turned that way in early October and am still getting used to it - I think it means I must be an adult by now!) and am living with a lovely woman, Anne, who is on the wrong side of 50. In fact, she's just a few months younger than my mum, but that's a story for another day.
I work at a call centre in Whitehaven, north west England. Or, at least I would if I wasn't off sick with depression. This is where the two facts about me you have just learnt come together.
Back in July Anne had a major operation to remove a growth on her ovary - the full works removed, along with a few other excess bits and pieces such as her appendix. I got some time off (well, 2 and a half weeks holiday followed by 2 weeks compassionate leave and a week unpaid) to look after her and the dogs (we have 2 ex-racing greyhounds). All went well, but they left behind some cancer cells and so Anne has had to have a number of chemotherapy sessions.
Obviously, this made her very ill and I needed to take more time off. I attempted to do so by explaining the situation to my boss and trying to be at home as little as possible as I was in charge of a team at work and they needed me there as well.
This was fine and was working OK, but as the chemo sessions went on Anne started to be affected more by them. I therefore asked for a larger chunk of time off. No chance. In addition, the job which I was doing (on a seconded basis) came up again as the period of time I had originally got it for was up. Naturally I applied again, but explained that I would definitely have to be off work for a few days after each chemo session. This was "fine" with work.
Guess what? My boss set the interview date for a day he KNEW I would be at home. No continuation of the job for me then - I was back to being one of the lovely people you speak to on the phone when you call these places.
I didn't mind that, but not having had the chance to be interviewed really narked me. After speaking to a few people (including my boss's boss) about the situation, I decided to stuff them and have been off since. I'll probably go back when Anne is fully recovered, but my head is, in all honesty, a bit of a mess over everything, and I'm not really sure whether I will ever return there.
Oh, and being off gives me LOADS more time for DII! Not that that influences me in any way...er...well, maybe a bit.
People's thoughts on all this would be really welcomed. Anne and I moved up here from near London about 3 years ago and I don't really have anyone (except Anne) to talk to about stuff.
A long post - sorry - but hopefully good enough for Corax to do his thang...

@ronin: email me a pic and ill xmas it up for you!!!:teeth:
@Simeonb: im working on your 'tar at the moment. Ill link to it when im done :thumbsup:
sorry to hear about anne. Cancer is a terrible thing and im sure all of us here offer our condolences to you and her...nd your dogs :lol:
i have no experience in the job industry but as far as i know you'd be better off staying with the work you got. You'll get the chance again as long as you dont act like a schmuck. Also just staying off work all the time is probably not the best of ideas as your boss seems like the type of guy who'll think your being lazy. damn bosses...*grumble*
so just dont do anything stupid.
Ronin and the others will probably pop in later with some better advice.
Goodluck with the chemo. Dont forget. lots of pictures while her hairt is falling out and growing back.
a friend of mine had chemo for leukemia and he looked hilarious when he was going bald as there were longish wiry hairs randomly over his head. and it looked similar when they were growing back.
also my new kitty called Rusty
also i just got sent this pic from a friend. its from our formal, so if anyone wants to see what i look like. heres me and a bunch of people i stood with
OMG pr0n!!!1
lets see the order goes (from left):
Beau, Billie, Fez, Cindy(my girlfriend, looking pretty in pink), ME!!1111!, Sara(who i was crushing at the time), Creany, Salli and Dean(who i detest)

@kaysaar: sure. what would mr george like done to him???
@simeonb: Fear Teh Elflar
hmmm i just though of a good idea for ronins. now can i track down that picture.hmmm :lol:
ok on a more serious discussion note. in Australia they are trying to create new laws concerning L and P plate drivers. which are learners and provisional 1 and 2 licenses which youve got to go through before getting a full license.
the restrictions they are trying to impose:
Curfew on night driving. so no driving at night
Only one passenger
Limited to 4 cylinder and less cars
Have to attend VERY BLOODY expensive driving seminars
drive all their learner hours(50+) with qualified driving instructors which cost $40 an hour.
what do you guys think??

Lvld to 93 last night, tried some different set ups and have landed on one that kills Baal @/8 very quickly.
My equip - shako w/ 15res+8min dmge jewel.
-gardian angel w/ 15res jewel
-HoTO (31 res - I'm soooo unlucky)
-HoZ (Um)
-Maras (23%)
-SoJ and Wisp(11%mf)
-Arachnids
-Magefist
-War Travs
Resists (91,90,92,90)
various charms - couple lion branded, 2 offensive, 40%Geeds, resis-SC's
Merc - Gullimanes, Shaft, Reapers(shael)
Kills minions very quickly, for Baal I switch to Gullimanes, Cresent moon PB, and Goblin Toe. I invested a point in Fanat - great suggestion - and smite the hell out of Baal, I couldn't believe how quickly he goes down, around 10 seconds, total run 6-8 mins. I recon it'll take me the best part of a year to get to 99 though.
I may try the Medusas suggestion when I get home tonight - Though Rebecca isn't impressed with my playing at the moment :scratch:

Be creative, I've seen your work, I approve. Use your better judgement :creep:
As far as driving... when I first got my liscense, you had to drive with a person over 25 for 90 days. Also, until you're 18 yrs old, you cannot drive from 12 am - 5 pm.
I think the Aussie officials are trying to line thier own pockets. I think the payment stuff is rediculous. I think my drivers ed stuff cost about $400 USD.
corax said:
Hmm. No night driving when learning seems a little ridiculous. If they pass that then everyone will be experiencing driving at night for the first time with NO instructor.
One passenger also seems a bit nuts. What do you do if you're learning when you're older and have a family? I understand where this is coming from though - no more groups of young men egging each other on.
Low powered cars seems a good idea, but then once someone has passed they can go out and buy any car they like. So then they could be driving a sports car without any practice at controlling it.
Driving seminars are certainly good, but they should be affordable.
$40x50hrs=$2,000. I think they're trying to say you shouldn't drive. :lol:
Glad to know it's not just the UK that likes to put silly laws unthought out laws through...
Oh, and thanks very much for the 'tar - it's utterly fantastic!!
With regards to the job, I know where you're coming from but afraid I disagree. I think we all would like to know that in a life crisis you can count on your workplace to understand when you can't give everything to them. Not that this happens much. My colleagues at the same level as me and my boss's boss all said (or implied) that had they been in my situation they would have gone sick a long time before I did.
I know that they weren't in the situation and it's easy to say that, but their support was very helpful. When (if) I go back I realise I'll need to put the hours in before I can hope to get back to the level I was, but with the support of my peers that won't be too much of a bind.
There most definitely ARE better jobs out there. Anyone who has ever worked in a call centre will tell you that they are not nice jobs to have. However, when I got it I had been working for myself for a couple of years and was in a bit of a financial problem. Beggars couldn't be choosers, so I took the job.
Now I've had 2 years there and so finding something else shouldn't be so hard so long as I can be bothered to look (and they don't look at my sickness record... :rant: )
Thanks for the support over the chemo (and thanks to Kaysaar as well). Fortunately this wasn't one where Anne's hair was going to drop out (it has thinned quite a bit though), so no pictures needed. The last session is on 17 Dec so hopefully she'll be feeling OK-ish at Christmas. Otherwise I think we'll have a late festive season.
