And it's mutual, re RPG Net
I can't say I'm surprised at having netted a seven-day ban for comments in the spirit of my last post here. Does make the stepping away easier, though.

Stepping away from RPG Net
So it turns out that I do have a threshold of "I just don't want to put up with this", and I reached it today. Turns out the threshold is the moderators' decision that calling the teabagger conservative stooges "fascist" is a group attack, and that since RPG Net has some teabagger posters, that's not allowed ( Read more... ) -
Not a big whine, just a whine
Gut troubles the last couple days. Some of it's the diabetes medication, some of it the bouncing energy levels, some of it whatever. Fact is, I've got nausea, and also hemorrhoids from hell. So I get to stay close to home and pile a lot of padding on the desk chair.
Y'know, this is really not a great catastrophe. But damn if it isn't annoying.

A diary-type post
#1. I cratered badly on Wednesday and Thursday, the last couple days before my next testosterone shot. With my doctor's concurrence, I'm going to try half the dosage every week for a couple of weeks, rather than full dosage every other week, and see if the cratering can be diminished or outright dodged. Today's shot went smoothly. I don't expect to ( Read more... ) -
World of Warcraft: being halfway up the stairs
Some things came into focus for me while browsing wow.com today, and in particular looking at an article about changes to the heroic instances in 3.3.2, forthcoming sometime soon. They're simplifying encounters. For instance, the priestess in Old Kingdom who calls acolytes for sacrifice will only do it once, and the mana entity in Nexus will only ( Read more... ) -
Weight Watchers, week 36
Up 0.9 pounds from two weeks ago, to 307.0. But my blood pressure is very significantly improving and my energy level continues to rise. Weight will improve in its turn.

City of Villains and me
I've noticed something as my energy and mood pick up some this last week and a bit. I've got a lot of unpleasant emotion sloshing around: personal stresses, rage and helpless despair about developments in US politics, and like that. Now, I don't actually want or even really wish to give up on trying to be a decent person in the midst of awful ( Read more... ) -
City of Heroes archetypes and me
It's been a solid month now since I signed up, and I've given more or less all the combinations of powers that most appealed to me, and I find that I have two particular sweet spots.
#1. Masterminds. I love being able to sit back and command my minions to do the heavy lifting, while doing supplemental things. I love the pet classes in World of ( Read more... ) -
Random health notes
I'm mending. A week and a weekend off of amlodipine, and I'm clearer-headed and in significantly better mood. This isn't to say I'm free of weakness or mood drops, just that the baseline and my recovery rate are both up. I've got a nasty headache at the moment, but I'm expecting it to pass. Hoping for more good developments this week.

*blink* Worth some adjustment time, I think
Viewers at home may remember that last fall I turned out to have catastrophically high blood pressure-212/110 in the doctor's office. So I started on amlodipine, and it turned out to be its own problem, and now I'm on hydrochlorothiazide, along with the testosterone injections and the diabetes medications I was already taking ( Read more... )
