Date went very well. Like them both, and have lots in common with her but not sure of her interest. He texted me afterward that he would see me soon, though.
Eh, who knows! Have another date tomorrow with a Brit and seeing a "nice Jewish boy" again for a picnic Saturday.
Dance card is full enough as it is!

I built Nissa, Vastwood Seer. It's about Forests and turning them into elementals. Tried to test it real quick but the game got spiked by Maelstrom Wanderer. Sigh.
In any case, while building, I discovered Viridian Revel. That seems like a really good card. Does anyone else play it?
Not much happening outside of Magic. It's hot, I'm sweaty, etc.
Just saw my brother off at the airport. He's going to Turkey for the summer to play music. Man, that would be so awesome. Could you imagine? just say, lets go to Barcelona for a couple of weeks and play Magic. sigh, I can only dream.
Everyone seems to be getting sick. I hope you all feel better!
Someone in his foundation was convicted with evidence. The FBI seized some electronics from his house, seemingly with his full cooperation. Likely because the person who was convicted is grasping at straws trying to get out of as much life-ruining court justice as possible.
News sites are clickbaiting by making it deliberately vague. Nothing as yet indicates it's true.
I saw an article on the Jared thing... I personally dont see why it pertains to me at all. I have faith that the FBI will sort out whatever it is he is being questioned for and I don't really see why exactly it pertains to the media other than that they stir up anything they can. This though, is sort of my opinion about anyone famous for any reason. If someone 3 blocks away from me got pulled in for the same thing I would probably have about the same level of interest.
I wish the media would stop trying to make anything about famous people newsworthy.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I have been up and driving since 7 am to take my mom up to Memphis to meet a specialist for a check up on her ankle replacement. I'm at dinner at Cracker Barrel and everyone else went to the bathroom which makes this the first time in 13 hours I've been by myself long enough to check the forum
I am approaching the 12 hour mark at work. I did 11 hours yesterday and I could go beyond 12 hours today potentially. this stupid job wont finish running. I have been running it for 4 hours now and its not done. I am capping it in another hour.

I really do love all of the ankle jokes and I'm sure she will get a kick out of them in the morning.
One of the joints of her ankle was fused and the rest was removed and cut up to be used to graft in the artificial ankle they created for her. I don't remember all of the technical terms for which exact joints did what, but essentially, most of her ankle is now a high tech replacement that was grafted in place with the remains of her ankle.
The surgery was just over two weeks ago and she is doing surprisingly well. It is healing up faster than expected and they were able to take out the stitches today and put it in a semi hard splint instead of the previous soft wrap that allowed a little more room for swelling. Hopefully in the next four to six weeks she will be able to get a walking cast that will give her some more mobility.
Longer term, in about 7-8 weeks she should be able to start slowly reapplying weight to it until she thinks she can start walking again and hopefully it will have healed enough to let her walk soon after she starts teaching this fall but I know we will have a couple of weeks of me taking her to school and getting her up and down the stairs
Or there isn't evidence he did anything/is attracted to children and using a politically charged word causes nothing but problems.
Do I really have to say that slander is bad?
Is it slanderous for me to say that people are rarely investigated for weak reasons and therefore rarely innocent when it's gone this far? I'll obviously still wait for proof but I'm not holding my breath.
Are you going to admit that you're kind of a jerk for judging preemptively if you're eventually proven wrong about something so serious?
Bit of a jerk to look at the statistics on this stuff? Maybe a little bit, I'm certainly not being warm and fuzzy here. But you're wrong in that "I'm not holding my breath" isn't preemptively judging; it's not saying he's guilty, it's saying he's not likely to be innocent given how this ***** usually plays out. Seriously, if someone can remember an example of someone turning out to be innocent after investigations going this far I'll happily hear it, I'm honestly drawing blanks here.
Eh, who knows! Have another date tomorrow with a Brit and seeing a "nice Jewish boy" again for a picnic Saturday.

Scary how accurate this is with everything that's going on.

Unless he's convicted with evidence you should refrain from saying stuff like that.
He can be attracted to children without acting on it...

Draft my Peasant Cube.
Also, I have not condemned Jared personally.
edit: I went and edited the post anyway. No reason to stand my ground on things that aren't a big deal.
I wish the media would stop trying to make anything about famous people newsworthy.
