Exactly. What's the point of monarchy in 2024?

Still a good moment to initiate that discussion.

In November, I was sick for a month. I was coughing like crazy after contacting a respiratory virus.

Early December, I'm getting better. I was doing my things, like, changing my son's bedsheets, when I had a small cough. And I heard "clock" in my body, followed by a very intense pain in my cage.

I had cracked a rib. Not caused by how intense the cough was, but by repetition of the coughing for more than a month.

She had a good opportunity to abolish monarchy there...

Not really. Hence why I'm joining another company. I'll let you know what I discover.

Thanks friend!

I lost my best friend and business partner early 2023. Then burnout. This year, I'm figuring out what to do with my NPO, I'm tired of being alone. I'm joining a friends company. I'll figure a way to achieve the goals we set ourselves, by being with people rather than by myself.

Everything sucked. 2023 was a calamity for me. I lost my best friend, I had a burnout, I got sick a lot, and it forced me to take 2 full weeks off to take care of myself in early December.

Those 2 weeks for myself are arguably the best thing I had this year however. I'll try to repeat this every year.

Late to the party but I recently saw one online that is now my favourite.

"You look like you drop regular loot when you're eliminated".

"You look like you drop regular loot when eliminated".

My girlfriend and I agreed easily for a girl's name, but couldn't agree on a boy's name.

Eventually (like months into the pregnancy), by talking, one name came out and we both loved it.

We knew the names we liked, and waited for the surprise. It was a boy :)

Wow I had never heard of this. Interesting.

Very good observation

I was a little like that until I had a kid myself. Much less than you perhaps, but I didn't have fun with kids, I never knew what to do, what to tell them, and I would be very unforgiving with kids who are cheating or lying for fun.

I always thought that when you have one, yours is different.

When i meet my soulmate, I knew she would be an awesome mother and it helped me retain some faith. We ended up having a boy who is now 4 and a half.

I must admit, I didn't know I had this much patience in me. Still not knowing what the hell I'm doing but I lowered the bar as much as I could : he's happy, and he's fed.

Now it's not always easy, and he tests my limits daily by pushing all the proper buttons. Sometimes I ask my girlfriend for an.... Emergency relief.

But now I kinda understand how to enter children's world. Doesn't work with all of them, and sometimes I must adapt. I still have a hard time tolerating crying over nothing serious, but I found ways to go around that and give hugs.

I try to remind myself of old memories when I did some very similar things with I was a kid, sometimes I'm not very proud...

All in all, I'm not telling to have kids, but just to say it can change. I just happened to have taken the "hard way", and I didn't regret any of it.

To be honest, I've had some serious laughing to the tears while reading Garfield Minus Garfield. But I don't have a favorite.

2023 has been a calamity for my health, both physical and mental. The state of things doesn't help. I'm better now. Touching wood.

I'm playing Starfield right now and I know I'm going to HATE the mission "Entangled" every time.

In Final Fantasy 12, that world in the desert with circular platforms, it was really a pain.

Final Fantasy X, that lightning field.

Dragon age origins : That lagoon in the middle of the desert where you need to search for crystals. The place is a labyrinth.

Mass Effect Trilogy : NOTHING.

Good to know, thanks!

2023 has been a calamity for me. I lost my best friend and business partner to cancer in March. Then, the mourning. The burnout. The psychologist. The antidepressants.

I then had a diverticulitis, ended up at the hospital. I reacted badly to an antidepressant, ended up at the hospital. Had a problematic mole in my lower back, got it removed, sent it to biopsy... Didn't remove enough, remove the rest, and the wound isn't healing properly and got infected.

Just since Halloween, I started coughing with lots of secretion, until my asthma came back first time in 15 years, and I coughed so hard for a month and a half, I ended up cracking a rib.

Then I got an acute middle ear infection, that lasted 2 weeks, the pain was excruciating.

Now, I still can't hear from that ear it's clogged. I stopped coughing. My antidepressant is doing an ok job.

I just want a break from life. I had to take 2 weeks off work completely early in December for my physical and mental health. First time I have to do that in my life.
