Aren't they terrible?? I swear they're a curse on humanity I haven't eaten since about 5pm though (it's almost 2am) so I'm justifying it xD;

Because I take the night shift in caring for my Gram
I'm here from about 8pm (sometimes earlier) until 8am when my Mom comes to get her up and get her breakfast etc. She wears a bipap at night now and needs someone there in case she has a coughing fit, needs a drink, develops any issues breathing, the machine stops working, etc. It's only me and my Mom as we have a very non-supporting family - partially due to distance, mainly due to pure laziness and because they feel like they've done their duty by calling or visiting every 4-6 months - so we've had to sacrifice a lot to take care of her That's why I took time off of school and had to take time off work as well - can't be up at night and during the day!

The movie is from the seventies I believe. It's an older movie for sure. Paul Newman has been deceased for quite some time.

Decided to make the chicken dip that I usually make and since it's orange in color it does go with the team colors for the Broncos, which is my friend's husband's football team.

And now my car is acting up, the battery died, which is just beyond crazy since it's a relatively new battery. Haven't driven it in the three days, but that's a reason for the batter to discharge. Ugh, cars are the worst.

Ohh gotcha I'm not sure if I've seen any of his movies!

Chicken wing dip is delicious - we make it ourselves! We tend to keep it on the less spicy side though
Definitely makes a perfect party dish too - I know nothing about the teams but if one is orange and it's a favorite then that's even better!

Oh no! That's not good - have you checked wiring to make sure it didn't short circuit or something? Especially if the battery is relatively new - it shouldn't quit that easily o.o;

Emma it turns out that alternator has taken a giant shit and for this reason everything was pulling off the battery and not charging off the alternator like it is suppose to. At this point the car is eight years old, needs a new alternator, new battery, new catalytic converter and O2 sensor, all of which is going to cost me about two thousand dollars. My car isn't even worth that much, sucks.

And to top it all off, I am feeling less than stellar right now. No fever, some congestion, mostly at night, no sore throat but I feel run down and I ache. Every time I move it aches, even my scalp ached this morning when I brushed my hair. Falling apart over here.

Also wondering when the Valentine's Day event is going to start. Got my test thread almost completely updated with everything. Should be a fun event, giving away the elusive V-Day Pin from 2007.

Oh wow.. I'd see if you can sell your car and get something out of it, then use the money and the money you'd save fixing it and see if you can find another used car that's relatively new but still affordable. Craigslist might even have something! At this point you're basically rebuilding the car and that just seems pointless when you have no guarantees that that will even fix it! :( </3

Yikes! Sounds to me like you're getting a head cold - I've recently been dealing with that because our weather has been bipolar lately - one minute it's in the 50s and raining, the next minute minute it's -15. It's horrible right now xD;
And on top of it the other night I fell off my steps and banged up my knee pretty badly - https://www.instagram.com/p/BBijOX8sPo1/ - it still hasn't stopped bleeding :/
My other leg doesn't look as bad, but inside it's a wreck - my hip and thigh kill to move
Haven't had time to go to the doctor yet, but hopefully within the next couple of days I can go - tried soaking in the tub tonight (keeping my right knee out of the water as it's still bleeding and open) but that didn't help my left leg at all - just made it worse and made me dizzy and lightheaded :(
I think we both need a break!!

I've been wondering the same thing - it's going to be here before we know it! I've been looking forward to it

Oh wow - that's super awesome of you!! What made you decide on that?
The pin is a gorgeous item - definitely one of my favorites from the set!

Emma, the cut hasn't stopped bleeding? That doesn't sound good. How is your platelet count? Might need to see that doctor before too long because it could indicate a larger problem with your clotting potential.

We were experiencing colder weather last week, this week we are in the 80s, which is annoying. Plus the air is super dry and that is what led to me having a bloody nose yesterday and a double bloody nose this morning. Living in the desert sucks the big one. My husband and I should move to a state that gets snow, since I love the cold and forget about the damn desert. But the job I have is the one I have been looking for and I love it. Definitely don't want to leave anytime soon. *sighs* Guess I will be stuck in the desert for awhile.

As for the car situation, we are going to try and remedy it this weekend if we can. I'll let you know for sure if something does change. In the mean time, I still carpool with my friend as we have done for the past few weeks. We love carpooling, makes the 15 minute drive that much faster and funner. My husband doesn't mind being the one to drive for awhile, since I can be a control freak. If need be, I can always get a rental car for a weekend or a week.

I really want a truck, so we'll see how it goes.

Nah - this is pretty normal for me - I scar, bruise, and cut really easily - I can get a paper cut and it'll bleed for like 3 minutes at least Plus given the fact that I can't just stay off my legs unless I'm sleeping isn't helping with it scabbing over - hopefully it'll heal though - if not I'll probably go to the ER as it'll be the weekend - I'm trying to avoid that though

Have you tried humidifiers or getting a nose spray from your doctor to keep your membranes moist? I have family members who get awful nosebleeds due to the dry air and that's what was suggested for them! Unfortunately I can't relate though - I've never had one! I've only gotten like, a cut or something in my nose - but never a full on nosebleed -knock on wood-
One positive is that you have a great job you love though! Makes the occasional nose bleed worth it! ;D

Oh that's good then! You at least have alternatives that work out well in case you do decide to hold off on fixing the car or if it takes longer than expected to get fixed
Haha! You sound like my Gramp! He bought a Jeep Compass and traded in his truck when my Gram got sick so that he could have a vehicle she could get into if an emergency were to happen and my Mom wasn't home for some reason. He's only had it a couple of years and he just gave it to me and bought himself another truck!
I think once you buy a truck, you never quite like a car the same way again
Have you had a truck before?

My dad always had a truck, there was never a time we didn't have a truck when I was growing up. Always liked them, just something about riding high and the feel of a truck. They are fun to drive. Most of my friends have had or currently own trucks, I feel left out. My husband doesn't mind me getting a truck, he knows it's my passion to own one. I would like to own it sooner rather than later.

Ran to Target yesterday for a few things and picked up a saline nose spray, Claritin and Afrin, just in case. The Saline spray did help a lot yesterday with the nose issues. In fact, this morning I woke up to a nose feeling much better and not so damn dry.

However, I do have another issue with my apartment and that would be the ineffective A/C. It ran all night and never got the apartment below 77 degrees. Ugh and we aren't even in the height of summer so there is no reason for why it's not keeping up I've had the husband go down and bitch at them to get it fixed and they say they have, well guess what! No, it hasn't been fixed. Over a month now I have complained about it. So I am going to tell them they either fix and get it working correctly, or I start deducting the additional expense in power because it's not working correctly from the rent until they do fix. Money seems to be the only thing these ass hats care about, so I will hit them where it hurts.

If you got the funds I say go for it! Especially if you grew up with one and have a passion for it - definitely worth it and now is as good a time as any! I grew up with them too - I enjoy driving a truck but I don't think I could own one for regular driving too high of a hike when I'm so short LOL!

Yayyy! I'm so glad it worked for you - I couldn't remember if saline nose sprays were over the counter or not - glad they were! I'd say just use it once a day for awhile and as needed if your nose feels dry and hopefully that'll help heal it up and keep the nosebleeds away <3

My goodness - is anything not going to fall apart on you?? First your job, then your car, then your nose, now your A/C - I think we need to put you in a bubble LOL!

I'd definitely tell them to take the cost out of your rent though if you're paying for A/C - I would also take videos with your phone or camera and show the A/C on and show what the temp in the apartment is and show it to them - maybe that'll get their asses into gear! Money and threats are a horrible last resort, but when all else fails you gotta do what you gotta do. My brother has done that before with his landlord - it's a real pain in the ass but it gets the job done!

Now I am just frustrated as all hell. The A/C still hasn't been looked at and I called yesterday. Ugh. Right now both doors are propped open letting fresh air run through the apartment and it's keeping the place below 77 degrees.

And what the shit is this about Valentine's Day event being a mini one? I am not wasting the V-Day pin on a mini event. Damn it. Got to rethink what kind of thread I am going to do for the "mini" event. Grr.

Original Character. A character you made up yourself for stories, roleplaying, or what have you.

Well thst sucks! Is there any way to report them for failing to keep up the rental property? I mean, you would think there would be some way way to enforce their responsibility - that's just not right, especially in a desert area where the heat can get unbareable!

I don't blame you - I wouldn't waste it either!

Aw - well if you change your mind please feel free to ask me anything! I've been roleplay in since like, 2005 or something, so lots of experience creating characters and such!

One general tip I can give though, is that more is always better - whether it's shared or for your personal reference. For example - birthdays, family members, family history, blood type, quirks, likes and dislikes such as food or tv shows or weapon of choice, etc - depending on the character you're creating and the roleplay you're creating it for, info may be relevant or irrelevant - but try to incorporate as much into your character as you can - it makes them more real and allows you to progress and build your character layers more thoroughly as you develop the roleplay - plus it can make things interesting if something happens where you can throw in a backstop or a like or dislike and incorporate it into the current plot!

Surprisingly I'm full of creativity for a roleplay but when it comes to writing books and such I utterly blank with writer's block - so I'm not much help with that one lol! Although it seems my advice was already in use if you have a character development sheet that's pretty massive! <3

Have you explored any relationships with other fellow authors to get a feel for their writing style and whether you could potentially work with them or not?
