Your projects, what are you working on in your free time? Options

Lol.

I'm sure Gothenburg is a nice, pleasant place, when it's not being lit on fire or having grenades tossed about...

But it's also on the other side of the country and south by quite a bit, so I'd be looking at a full day by train. There's a reason why hubby will be flying there when he's called for transplant.

What?! Protests?

I think that permanently docked ship you can live on (after dealing with the former residents) is the Marie Elena. And the nearby smaller pub ship is the Bloated Float. They're in the docks district of Cyrodiil, right?

Ahem.

The uhm... new arrivals. And gangs. Grenade attacks, synagogues being set on fire.

I'll leave it there.

MY YARN CAME!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!

Blanket time tomorrow! It'll probably take me quite some time to do it, but I'm hoping it doesn't take more than two months. lol.

My project for the weekend will be to bury some concrete blocks. Still no new teeth for my Cavator so the old ones will have to do.

[Dark Reaper]

My Nerf Kriss Vector Kit came in. I'll post a picture asap.

[Sakiri]

Sweet.

Also I can't follow a knitting pattern to save myself. My stitches are all over the place.

[Sakiri]

Ball 2 of yarn done. Not vey big, only 36m(39y). 11 balls left, hopefully.

Had a few yarn overs I think because I went from 55 to 60 something stitches across. Of course I can't have that so I fixed it, but it messed up my pattern again.

I think I've got it though. Just can't be drunk or have hubby in the room. He keeps trying to show me stuff on reddit and it's distracting.

[Dark Reaper]

Sweet.

Be sweeter once it's finished .

[Sakiri]

Nice!

Small but importance project today. Selected on a Vision Care Plan to buy in to next month that lets me keep the Provider I used before losing vision care benefits with the switch from Tricare Prime to Medicare/Tricare for Life. Spent part of this morning making calls to verify that the provider is indeed a full participant in the Plan.

Still need to settle on a new Dental Care Plan, as we military retirees are losing our very good dental plan beginning next year. We can now buy in to FEDVIP Dental Plan options, none of which are as good as what we had. I've got it whittled down to one potentially preferred option, but want to touch bases with my dentist about before signing up mid Nov.

Always sucks to lose good dental. I haven't been able to get in to a dentist since I moved here.

Poor Little Yellow 'Cavator!

D'aaaaaw! What an adorable doggie!!!

Decrepit! I'm so glad to see you posting on here again! I worried about you when you kind of dropped out of sight for a while there!!!! Hope you are okay! And urgh on the Dental plans, my health insurance plan dropped both dental and sight on mine, urk. Seems like other health problems will increase without the good dental program as a kind of "maintenance."

So now if I get a toothache, I have to go to the Emergency Room; which costs them a heck of a lot more than a dental visit would have!

[Sakiri]

The ER will give you pain meds and refer you to a dentist. I just skip the middle man. Getting dental here is super easy if you're in pain. I've needed a cleaning for two years. Might just go to Poland.

Project for the day: VOTE.

Walked to our polling station.

Filled out ballot via electronic voting machine. First time ever to vote this way. I dislike voting machines, but paper ballots weren't an option. Thankfully, the process was pretty straightforward. Only thing that concerns me is that two propositions appeared that I had read were disqualified. That being so I didn't study them in advance. Had no idea how to vote. Placed an arbitrary AGAINST next to both. Hope I'm right that it doesn't matter either way.

Voting for me is more or less going through the motions. My political views are so at odds with majority of voters in my neck of the woods none of my candidates of choice have a realistic chance of winning. Well, maybe one this time round, but its iffy at best. I suspect a proposition I voted for might win too, but it's one I don't really care about and could have gone either way on. Voted as I did on it more or less on a whim.

Walked home.

Voting for PA from abroad was impossible for me in time. By the time I got around to it, it was too late for me to adequately work around the fact that they blocked overseas IP addresses.

This means I couldn't view the ballot to download and print. Because we can't actually vote electronically. Not that my printer works anyway.

meh. Maybe next time.

I was wondering if people like you actually exist. From the media coverage around here, you'd think there's only two sides with immortal hatred for each others, and everyone belonged to one or the other. Considering how many different parties we have around here, that always baffled me.


My project right now is me. The stargelgym is seeing heavy usage, and today I finally reached a new level in my effords: deadlifting 12x100 KG. According to my calculations, that means that my one-rep-maximum is 140 KG. My goal is to lift twice my own weight for the 12 repetition set, but that is still far off.

Slightly off-topic: does anyone else love to watch gym fail videos?

[mirocu]

Nice having yourself as a project, Starge. I just jump into the forklift if I wanna lift heavy stuff

[stargelman]

Well if it ever breaks you know who to call

[Acadian]

Great to hear that the stargelgym is getting plenty of use!
