Face to face
Played my first face to face last weekend. Bought an 18 pack of PBR and played with 6 total on the board. 3 of us had played before and 3 never. Ended up the 3 that had played drew E/F/G. We made it to 1905 before we ran out of time, but one of the noobs was hooked immediately and ordered the game online next day. He's trying to set up another face to face this weekend.

We've had this debate ad nauseum regarding music, movies, games, etc. In light of the Aaron Swartz debacle, I think it's worth talking about Piracy in the context of Science.

Sitter
I need a sitter from the 19th through the 27th... it may go a day or so beyond that as well. I hope to have most of my games paused but I'll still have between 5-8 to play. None are shorter than 24 hour phases. If anyone is available and could do this, I'll pay you in hugs and maybe a box of chocolates if you're dumb enough to give an ass like me your mailing address.

Thanks :D

Why all the Lori Grimes hate?
I'm only through the second episode of season three of Walking Dead, but why all the Lori Grimes hate? We've all done dumb things, like drive off in a car without telling anyone and crashing into a walker, and who hasn't lost a child (a few hundred times), so beyond the obvious complaints (crashing car, losing son), why all the Lori Grimes hate?

On GM crops
"France, remember, long refused to accept the potato because it was an American import. As one commentator put it recently, Europe is on the verge of becoming a food museum. We well-fed consumers are blinded by romantic nostalgia for the traditional farming of the past. Because we have enough to eat, we can afford to indulge our aesthetic illusions."

Please pray for my mom
For those of you who believe in God, or, hell, those of you who don't if you're willing, please pray for my mom. If you remember my post from a week ago, she had a brain aneurysm, and now the pressure in her brain is increasing and she is probably going to die. So please pray.

Well, she restabilized. My dad seems to keep overreacting and exaggerating how close she is to dying.
But the bottom line is that she won't get better than she is now, at least as I understand it. If she were to survive, she wouldn't even really be aware or able to communicate, because the entire left side of her brain is pretty much dead. So on monday, we're going to have the hospital remove all the tubes and stuff she is connected to, and then she will most likely die.

Read her this:
New Living Translation (NLT)

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

Footnote:
a. Psalm 23:4 Or the dark valley of death.

We little knew that morning
God was to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

@Fasces - If it had been your loved one I would have said "take comfort that she is no longer suffering." But, CM has stated numerous times he is Christian including the OP of this thread. So rather than being a militant athiest asshole and attacking my statement which was appropriate based on the knowledge of CM's faith, just offer your condolences.

Fasces, seeing her again has nothing to do with religion. Her atoms will be recycled into the trees and the flowers and the sky, which is a beautiful thought in itself, for an atheist.

Nothing here at all has to do with religion. She has moved on from our lives, and for that we offer the deepest sympathies and as much comfort as we can possibly give.

‎"You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see her, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

-I am sorry for your loss CM, best wishes to you and your family. One of my good friends shared this when she lost a loved one recently. Try and stay positive for yourself and your family.

I wrote a poem in honor of my mom:

Goodbye

Goodbye to my mother
Goodbye to my friend
Goodbye; I stayed with you
Until the very end

Goodbye to your love
So sweet and fair
Goodbye to your wisdom
And sweet loving care

Is this nightmare over?
Or has it just begun?
Or maybe soon I’ll wake up
And find this nightmare is done

But alas this is real
But alas this is true
I know I’ll always have
Sweet memories of you

Goodbye to your antics
Goodbye to your fun
Goodbye; My time with you
Had really just begun

Goodbye to your laughter
Goodbye to your sorrow
No matter what happens
I won’t see you tomorrow

Why is this happening?
I didn’t want you to die
I don’t want anything
But for this all to be a lie

But you’re really in Heaven
Watching over me
But we’ll again be together
Just you and me

Goodbye to your guidance
Goodbye to your care
Now that you’ve breathed
Your last bit of fresh air
Goodbye to your sickness
Goodbye to your pain
Goodbye; life without you
Is never ending rain

What will I do
Now that you’re gone?
Well at least for me
Life still goes on

Even though you’ve left
You’ll still watch over me
No matter where I am
From sea to shining sea

Thank you for your time
Thank you for your dedication
Your life will always provide
My greatest inspiration

Thank you for the memories
That I won’t ever forget
Thank you for leaving me
Without any regret

The feelings overwhelming
The anguish so real
Not many can imagine
Just how I might feel

As my life continues
I’ll think about you
My memories stay with me;
I will never forget you

Thank you for your love
Thank you for your care
Thank you for loving me
Until your last breath of air

Thank you for my life
For bringing me into this place
I’ll always remember that
Even as tears run down my face


Goodbye to your love
So sweet and fair
Goodbye to your wisdom
And sweet loving care

Goodbye to my mother
Goodbye to my friend
Goodbye; I stayed with you
Until the very end
