My dark ending would be. Bea and her mom and several doctors surrounding a hospice bed. On that bed is a comatose carl with donut on his chest. The doctors say it's time as bea starts to cry then nods. They pull the plug.
Came here to say the same thing. I’ve started listening to books while I cook now I don’t want anyone to come in and “help” because that means I’ll have to turn off the book and engage with humanity.
I posted a picture of my husband on a Facebook beekeeping page wearing his beekeeping jacket. Totally innocuous post about how hard we worked that day or something. It got totally overtaken by one man losing his ever loving mind because my husband’s jacket happened to be pink. Like he took that personally. My husband found it hilarious because why would he pay $80 for a white jacket when the pink one was on sale for $20. Some people are so insecure in themselves that they assume everyone one else is that insecure as well.
Ellie, Louis, Bautista, Katia in that order. Mongos death on level 10+ would likely be the catalyst that gets Carl and Doughnut to pull the trigger on a shitty deal and end the crawl.
Devolution - Max Brooks. What happens when a volcano disrupts a pack of Bigfeet and traps a small community? Well it’s Max Brooks so nothing good happens nothing good at all.
Based on some of the things Eva said I think it’s possible she had a problem before the dungeon. It’s just that the dungeon drugs hit harder and were giving her exactly what she wanted or thought she needed. Getting stuck with the floor nine issue is what pushed her over the edge. Maybe deep down in the parts we don’t talk about she wanted to OD so no one would be stuck with an impossible choice.
She keeps reliving a good memory with the drugs, right? And Matt has made a big deal about her reliving her worst memory to get rid of the addiction buffs. It’s probably something about a baby? Will this worst memory destroy her or empower her?
I think it’s actually more insidious than that. What the drugs show aren’t real memories more like dreams or fantasies. So when she hits the blitz stick she’s asks for not a real memory but something she really wanted. This could mean that the worst “memory” could actually be a bad Memory she has but enhanced to be even more awful somehow.
Bees can and will fly into houses especially in the spring when they could be looking for a new home. But mostly they won’t come in because they fly looking for food and you probably don’t have what they want in your house. Unless you are a forgetful beekeeper and happen to leave the basement door open where all the bee stuff is stored. That was a bad afternoon. But just this week I had two bees buzzing in my kitchen looking for a way out. It wasn’t until I went upstairs to my bedroom that I saw my husband had left the balcony door open. These bees most likely came in looking for a new place to relocate. Did you know bees were democratic? When they swarm they will leave approximately half the bees in the old hive with a baby queen. These bees will land somewhere nearby and start sending out scouts looking for new digs. When a bee finds a place they like they go back to the swarm and tell the other bees about it. Some will go check it out and if they like it too they will tell more bees if they didn’t like it they will fly back and not say anything. Eventually when most of the bees are talking about the same place they will decide that’s where they are moving in to. By talking I mean dancing like they do when they find some nice flowers they think the other bees should check out.
I’ve been during them for years. Long before I ever heard of DCC. You can try Twisted Shirley but it’s really hit or miss and mostly a miss. When I get the blank stare I usually just say give me a Shirley Temple with a shot of vodka.
Honestly considering that the last time he sat down was in the carriage on the way to the ball it’s possible that by nap he meant a cry in the shower. Whether he needed actual sleep or not was secondary to him and Doughnut just needing a second to “nap” and reset their minds for the next level.
I have a friend who was homeless from about 15 -19 (then van homeless 23-25.) He was a reliable guy, honest, good with money, no serious addictions, no debilitating mental health issues, just had a shitty shitty family. He lived in the woods, it wasn't fun but he learned how to get by.
I feel this personally. My brother would 100% be what he calls an “Urban Camper” if he didn’t live with me. And he would be totally fine with that. It would absolutely kill my mother so he lives with me and my family. The problem with taking in strays is that there isn’t a good exit strategy. He’s been with us for 13years now but soon my kids are going to be grown and gone and my husband and I will be looking at retirement. There just isn’t a good exit strategy here. He will not participate in society and I don’t want him living with me forever. I know someday there is going to come a time where I finally kick him out and that will likely be the last time I see him.
Some or most of his leadership and mentorship come from his time in the service. Granted the Coast Guard isn’t like being in the Marines or anything but I imagine there is still some level of Esprit de corps. You can say he’s parenting half the dungeon but as a Veteran looking at him I see a truly dedicated Platoon Daddy. One who isn’t in it for the advancement of himself but to make sure those under him have every advantage to advance that he can provide and when they succeed so does he. It’s rare to find a leader like him but if you ever do you know that you would without hesitation take a bullet for him because you also know he would do the same for you.
I would love a couple Magic the Gathering commander decks. I think there are enough mobs and spells around with choice commanders to make some really fun decks.
I’ve heard that line is used as a euphemism to describe a woman with a drinking problem. That’s what I always thought he was doing here. Sowing a little seed of doubt where suddenly everything that is said or done by Jones will be attributed to her “little problem”. Causing her to lose all her credibility and power.

Audiobooks and podcasts really have changed mundane tasks for me into something I enjoy doing because I want to get back to what I was listening to.

If you could get his address.......send him a box of drone bees with an explaination of what they are.
:grin:
now the song is again stuck into my head
Same. It lived rent free in my head for a week I had finally forgotten about it now it’s back again.
Box set maybe?

I’ve been a beekeeper for five years. I still can’t stand for them to touch me and bees in my hair are a solid nope.

Gene shuffling is remarkable. You could look all over either parent, look like neither, or even look completely unrelated to anyone in your family.
My son looks more like my moms brother than his own son does. I am a doppelgänger of my father’s mother.

When you were raised by the kids that were raised by the ones that grew up during the depression some hoarding tendencies still linger.

Why is it nonsense?
Constant noise like that will disturb your sleep cycle. I couldn’t sleep at all with the radio on.
He must've done it for a reason though, so it wasn't nonsense for him. I sleep deeper with more vivid dreams with music on.
I think it was a way to fill the emptiness. When I met him he was recently separated the radio was a way that he wasn’t always alone.
