    Lol. Very much so bare bones. I'm sure a scholar of Marvel such as yourself could give a more interesting answer, or provide additionally lore. ;) :)

    EDIT: Also you know me and my so called 'gift' for finding images...;) [face_laugh]

    I'm very far from all knowing ( I have no problems admitting that in public, btw :p ), so there's that. LOL!! However, an image is worth a thousand words!! That was perfect. =D=

    I really need to pause playing Dragon Age Inquisition, it is such a drain of time and mental energy, but I love it... on the other hand it keeps me away from writing...

    I keep telling myself I am going to play for an hour and then see that four have already passed. Last night almost went till morning and of course I am too drained to write... *sigh*

    If it wasn't for our stellar benefits with childcare, I'd most likely would have been gone by now just because of that one person. But the benefits truly came in handy when our first daughter had extensive medical bills; it allowed us to keep the house, pay the medical debt down, keep our jobs, and pay the childcare.

    When we were bought out at the end of last year (just before the pandemic hit) and went from private ownership to corporate ownership, most of us thought big changes were coming (I didn't and warned everyone, since I had worked corporate for 7 years before going private). Our benefit package was slashed for childcare (but I and several others were grandfathered in) and reset to industry norms for our field and we gained medical insurance. So the catch 22 is if I leave my job, I loose these amazing childcare benefits you can't get anywhere else and---it greatly helps---that I literally live on the backside of my place of employment, allowing me to walk to work everyday and save on wear & tear and fuel for the vehicle. If I don't leave, I'm stuck working while feeling undervalued and underused with my experience and qualifications.

    I'm at the point to suck it up for the next 5 years or find a part-time job that gives me flexibility during the week to teach and raise my own children during the day (work late afternoons & night and avoid childcare costs) and the weekends off to work around my wife's work hours. Its finding that job willing to work with that limited availability (my wife starts work at 2am, so I can't do overnights).

    Alright, events are trying to prevent me from writing my main pc got unstable, so now I have to use the laptop though now will have to share the time with my father. The plus side is that I am more focused when I am on the laptop.

    Only remains to be fixed the weird wifi connectivity issues my ISP will be sending people this weekend to investigate as the guy on the phone was baffled how when he fixes my connection it gets lost again when I connect a mobile device or my laptop.

    In short I am tentatively positive that I can resume writing this weekend, now will use the opportunity to rest...

    I went on a holiday with my parents two years ago and posted many RPG updates from the back of my parents car on my phone! It wasn't easy, but I did it! :p


    Should mention I am not a child and going on holiday with your 78 year old dad driving you need to distract yourself so you don't see what's going on!!

    It's not an ideal choice, but I posted many RPG updates via mobile.
    Often required a bit of editing at times for format reasons.

    Speaking of, I was thinking it might be fun to write some more this winter. Perhaps Saadi might be able to appear with the Sith again or maybe create a new character elsewhere?

    Not to bring down a mood, but David Prowse, the man who stood as our Vader, has passed.

    May he rest in peace. :_|:vader:
