Review - The Glenlivet, Double Oak, 12 Years Old, 40%

Bringing a baby to a movie theater should be a punishable crime. Allow me to explain. As I do, keep in mind what I said. The people who bring babies to movie theaters, not the babies themselves, are the focus of my ire. First, anyone who knows me can attest to my love of babies. Planned or unplanned, normal or abnormal, I’m pro-life through and through. Babies make the world and its spaces,…

This bathroom serves both a master bedroom and a visiting child. Rather than build two separate bathrooms, resources were combined to make the bathroom as beautiful as possible.

everyone wants a morally grey character who would let the world burn if it meant protecting their loved ones until they’re given one, in which case they are deemed irredeemable and a bad person and villainized by the fandom

DnDrabble - "Carols"

((Day 10 of @fluff-cember, some DnDads silliness for @zoynkzz!))

“Ten?” Lark asked.

“Swans...a-leaping?” Nick ventured.

“Why would swans be leaping,” Sparrow said.

“I think the leaping is lords,” Grant offered.

“Okay, followup, why are lords leaping?” Sparrow asked.

“Maybe they sat on an ant hill,” Lark suggested as he wrote “ten lords a-leaping” down, followed by an additional note at the bottom of the page reading “ants + pants”.

“All at once on different ones? Or just one really big one?” Nick asked.

“My question is why the second half of the song gives everything an action when the first half doesn’t,” TJ put in.

There was a long pause as they thought about it.

“Huh,” Lark said. “No idea. What’s eleven, more freaking birds?”

“Probably,” Sparrow muttered.

“It feels a little weird for you two to be hating on birds,” Grant said.

“It may have escaped your notice, but we are, in fact, not birds,” Lark said at the same time that Sparrow finished the sentence with, “human.”

Whatever further discussion might have occurred was interrupted by Henry barging in with a tray of something apparently mostly made of seeds and nuts, singing “Five gold rings” at full volume to a chorus of groans and “dad, stop”s.

Hestia, walking in with an oddly-shaped wooden vase: Look what I found! It's so beautiful, who would wanna throw this away?

Zeus: A blind man who recovered his sight? Please. Get it out of here. Pine has no place in this home. It's the wood of poor people and outhouses.

Hestia: You know, Zeus, I live here too, okay? I think that gives me the right to add things that make me a little happier during these perilous times.

Zeus:

Zeus: You're wrong.

I like the thought of during red and greens trips to newer regions most younger ppl have very little idea who they are/don't care that much, but then their parents/anyone older see them they start losing their mind at The Kanto Champions especially anyone who's from Kanto but moved abroad...old gen sees charizard and thinks of red the living legend. New gen sees charizard and thinks of Leon the unbeatable champion...both are goats and honestly red is probably thankful he's recognized less as he gets older. Never liked the fame and attention. Green might be a tiny bit sad when he realizes that he's now considered Old to kids. He's not even middle aged but to a child he is ancient and from a different time in pokemon battling history.

So I took a break from posting here since May due to the fact that -again - I had a problem making my Cudlow hood playable (whenever I entered the hood I got pink flashig). So I guess I would had to restart most of it AGAIN. I tried various solutions and nothing worked so propably next time I have to include even less cc, especially when it comes to decorating hood. Till now I don't really know how to do that while being happy with how my custom hood would turn out. I just wanted to play so I moved to TS4 for a while, since I didn't focus on every aspect of my gameplay and just created some sims (I just go to TS4 whenever I'm burned out on TS2 - mainly performence-wise). I played it for about 2 months and now I'm back to playing Sims 2, but taking it easy for a time being. I downloaded a mystery/drama-filled custom hood Jeans Shaker Oasis by Sokisims. It's packed with a lot of sims. It's really a well-made hood, I'm just starting playing it but I wanted to recommand it since I want to post some random pics of my gameplay from time to time here :D. As as I can see, it's still getting some updates but I think it's good to go when it comes to playability.

I want to go back to Cudlow (I spend too much time on sims/build-making to let it all go to waste), but for now I just want to enjoy Sims 2 again and be somewhat active on Tumblr ^^.

On the rocks

A bit surreal - double exposure involving an urban landscape (high-rise buildings in Rome) and rugged oak bark.

[cafffine]

so turns out urban forestry is just 80% taking calls from people asking you to - for free - perform a dangerous and costly treatment on their tree that would 100% kill it if we actually obeyed them

Founder's KBS Double Baked Imperial Stout (Picked up at Total Wine). A 4 of 4. Pretty similar to the original KBS with a bit more roast and tannic notes that drop the sweetness a bit. The original KBS is already very well-balanced and this unbalances it slightly, but if one prefers slightly more bitter / oaky big stouts, this is probably preferable. Really quite excellent.

Hot Chocolate

"What—is—that?" Nick glanced at the cup in his hand. "My drink…" "You said you were getting hot chocolate…?" He relaxed and started walking toward the car again. "I did—it's iced hot chocolate." He held the cup in his left hand out at Lark. "Here's your coffee." "You aren't getting in my car with that." "What? The drink?" "The iced hot chocolate. That's just—chocolate milk with ice!" "No it isn't." Lark snatched his coffee and dropped back into the car, slamming the door. Before Nick could get in, he's slapped the lock button. "No. You can drink that crime against nature out there." He pressed his face to the window. "Are you serious?" Even muffled by glass, his outrage was clear. He cranked the heat. "Yep! Enjoy your iced hot chocolate." "I want a divorce!" "Not if I get one first." He thumped on the window. "That's not how that works!" Lark relented when he started shivering. "You're an asshole." He smirked and sipped his coffee. "Is there *apple* flavor in this?" he sputtered. Nick grinned. "Luckily, you're in good company." He grabbed a fistful of his shirt, dragging him over the center console for a kiss.
