This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
Crazy day work-wise for a Friday. Didn't stop working until later than I normally do, even for days that aren't Friday. The good news is I'm finally unwinding now. Today was a pretty nice day here, though of course once I sneak out of the house for some exercise, the sun decides to hide behind some clouds....
The good news is that today is my grandma's birthday, and she's had a pretty good one considering the circumstances. She's received many cards and phone calls today! Everyone is keeping their distance, however. The dear woman is 92!
@Heavyarms55 That'd be my only guess. That, or someone is both lactose intolerant AND allergic to tomatoes. XD
I've had a few jobs in my day, but I think you've beat me in both the amount and variety departments.
@NintendoByNature Thanks for the suggestion! I'll make a note for future trips. I haven't been up in the area since I went to the western suburbs in mid-2017 for a wedding.
The pizza place my mom and I went to on a weekend trip a few months before that was a chain place, but the name escapes me right now. I just know it wasn't one that occurs in my neck of the woods. Not recalling the name is gonna bother me now. XD
@ThanosReXXX Hey, no problems here if you don't try them in the morning. Like I mentioned, a hearty breakfast meal at any other period of the day is just fine in my book!...As long as it isn't too late in the evening lol. My sleep suffers otherwise.
...Yeah, I figured that reference was pretty borderline to what I do professionally. XD A source control platform is basically a repository, usually online, used to store code, manage it, and keep a log of changes. There are many uses for it, but think of it as a sort of online backup tool that can be used to coordinate work with other contributors to your project, manage changes by you and your team members, and revert to a previous version of what you're working on when you hose something up. The platform I was referring to is known as GitHub; the first half of the word is the slang term I was referring to. So yes, GTFO was the correct direction to go in.
@Tyranexx - Wow, a sincere well done to your grandmother. Thinking about all that’s happened in the last 92 years actually helps provide a little bit of perspective with what’s going on right now. It’s a shame you couldn’t be together, though it sounds like she still had a special day.
@Tyranexx yea no problem. Probably giordanos if its a chain pIzza place serving up deep dish that ISN'T Lou malnatis. There's also rosatis( which I had tonight 😉).
Happy birthday grandma! Mine is 91 and she still does most of her own stuff. She's essentially a 25yr old man trapped in an old lady's body. She does her yard work, snow blows, cuts tree branches, all that stuff. Its amazing what she does at her age.
stuck at home with 3 million in the bank
hoarding toilet paper

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
i ordered an a**load of n64 games to wipe with, thats how i conserve toilet paper.
there a little rough around the edges, just like the graphics of the games are, so i tend to wipe from back to front

Started Tiger King last night. This is a scripted comedy, and I’ll not hear otherwise.
@NintendoByNature - Be careful, the right side of those carts have ridges as well as the cut out thumb slot. Better stick with the left side only. Personally, I’m using anything on disc because it can be resurfaced.
@bimmy-lee yea its a wierd one. Joe dressed like he's in an 80s rock/country band. His outfits alone are worth the watch. Wish i could make my villager look like him.
And who am I kiddin. I skeetch anyway.
Edit: I also decided to resub to wwe network for WM tonight. Nothing else to do. Watching last year's now
On the subject of toilet paper: Every time I play the touch microgame category in WarioWare Gold and the game where fully unraveling a roll of TP comes up, I can't help but simultaneously smile and feel a twinge of guilt. XD
@bimmy-lee Thanks! I daresay it was as special as it could be given the circumstances. She doesn't get out much, but typically different facets of the family take her to dinner in the days surrounding her birthday. I've heard that my aunt/her daughter did manage to run a takeout meal by her house, so at least she had some special food! My sister allegedly made her cupcakes too.
@NintendoByNature Giordano's rings a bell, but I'm still not completely sure if that's it lol. I tried looking up the place (it was in Chicago's Union Station), but it seems to have moved out between then and now. My mom and I hit it up when going to a fall Symphony of the Goddesses performance in late 2016. 10/10, definitely recommended for Zelda fans who love music!
Thanks for the well wishes! Grandma doesn't get around very well these days, but she still lives at home and manages to do a few things on her own. She still had pretty good mobility up until a few years ago. My dad and bro still have livestock on the place, so she gets checked up on pretty regularly. Mentally, she's still sharp as a tack and pretty frank about her comments these days. XD
Your grandma sounds awesome, I hope I have her mobility when/if I get to that age! Grandma's side is pretty long-lived; her last living sibling made it to 96 before she passed away a few years ago.
@Tyranexx cool. Yea could be uno pizza then. Yea no problem. Good to know she's still out there giving her opinion lol. Yea my grandma is a beast. And she's all of 5ft2" haha
@Tyranexx - Yeah, everyone is in for an uneventful, yet oddly memorable birthday celebration for the foreseeable future. There are four on my wife’s side of the family next month including my wife. She shares the same birthday with her older brother and his daughter. It’s super weird.
@NintendoByNature - I love feisty, little grandmas. Did I miss and island party with @HobbitGamer last night? I think I’m doing Tiger King early, and then possibly a little island time later. I’ll see if you guys are playing. I’ve slacked off the last few days, and my island is in serious need of some maintenance.
@NintendoByNature - Oh yeah, I saw your edit earlier, that’s gonna be fun. I’m sure you’re already into the Saturday show. I considered it myself, but didn’t sign back up. I was a day one subscriber and let it expire last fall. I’ve been fine without it except for the Rumble and now Mania. Have fun!
