Dies to Removal

Just watched Sunshine on HBOGo and that shit was crazy.

you felt scummy for begging your friends for money? well you have more integrity than someone I won't mention.

Yeah. I'm supposed to be able to provide for my family, and then something like this happens. I've already had to pay about $2000 out of pocket since the beginning of the year for my wife's, and now my daughter's, treatment.

I wasn't saying you shouldn't feel how you felt

No, that's not what I meant. I think I said that wrong. I was providing context. I meant that I'm supposed to provide for my family, and then my wife gets sick. And that sucks. I didn't think you were telling me not to feel scummy. Sorry for the mis-communication.

A lot of people truly believe that Lyme is isolated to the Eastern U.S. But evidence of Lyme has been found worldwide. I'm convinced that insurance companies know full well how far Lyme has spread and how much it will cost them if they recognize that.

I'm insured. It's just that there's not a lot of Lyme literate doctors that accept insurance. This is because insurance companies are reluctant to pay for claims relating to Lyme. And that is because the CDC guidelines for diagnosing and treating Lyme disease are dangerously outdated and flat out wrong. My wife actually had a doctor tell her that, "Lyme is a belief system." An actual medical doctor said this. You wouldn't believe the lack of Lyme knowledge in the medical community.

Yes. It's ridiculous trying to raise money on Go Fund Me. I've had a campaign going for the last 4-5 months for the treatment of my wife's Lyme disease and we've barely raised 3k.

Wow, you went from 0 dollars to 3k instead of from 0 dollars to 0 dollars, how ridiculous

That's with blasting Facebook friends every day and basically feeling scummy inside for doing it. Add that to the fact that treatment of Lyme costs tens of thousands of dollars and can take years of care. My point was, it takes a ridiculous amount of campaigning to raise any significant amount of money on Go Fund Me. No need to be condescending.

That deck is pretty brutal.

Yes, I suppose so. This has all been quite disappointing.

This speaks to James's integrity and how the pressure to produce affected it. I see a lot of people on Twitter and Facebook trashing him, yet I doubt they've ever been in the same position. I'm not condoning cheating. Rather, I'm suggesting that when under that kind of pressure, people react in unpredictable ways. This was how James reacted, and it was a very human reaction.

Well shit.

Precisely

I probably should, but I am reluctant.

I feel like I'm probably facing my quarter life crisis. I can't find work in my field, I'm working shitty jobs, stuck living at home for now, friends all have wives / kids and I'm just feeling lost.

Magic gives me a little escape, but it's not working anymore.

Definitely talk to a professional. They can prescribe meds if you need them. I can tell you from personal experience that Zoloft works wonders.

Look at all these fuckers giving MtG advice to a guy who's depressed.

LD, what's wrong? Anything we can help sort out?

Translation:

Nobody will pay attention to me so I'm bored.

LD, depression can be serious. I wouldn't hesitate to talk to a doctor about it. My wife has suffered from depression for years, and the only way we get through the bad days is if we talk.

Photo, I haven't seen any list that runs those cards together. I think that's just asking too much of your mana base. Being able to reliably cast Drown or Anger on turn 3 would require at least 19 sources of both [mana]b[/mana] and [mana]r[/mana]. It's just not possible. Now, if you don't need to cast Anger on turn 3, just go black heavy on your base and know that you won't be casting Anger until turn 5-6. At that point, you need to ask yourself if it's really worth it.

One possible Build:

2 Lightning Berserker
2 Zurgo, Bellstriker
4 Whisperer of Dragons
4 Mardu Scout
2 Eidolon of the Great Revel
4 Flamewake Phoenix
4 Fanatic of Mogis
2 Purphoros, God of the Forge
4 Stormbreath Dragon

1 Hammer of Purphoros
4 Outpost Siege

3 Roast

20 Mountains
4 Nykthos

Instant boner when I read this.

Sounds like fun! Good job on today. I was keeping track on Facebook. Told my wife about the whole Rick Grimes thing, and how one of your opponent's name was Richard Grimes.

It's not unheard of to play Rider in Abzan.

I have never heard of this.

Then you're not listening.

It's not unheard of to play Rider in Abzan.

Well, Ultimate Price is back.

We're straight, just merry.

Also, the new Zurgo made me laugh.

I got too excited and peed a little.

Yeah, just saw that. 6 fucking loyalty? Damn.

Thank the gods for Glare of Heresy.

Ham's making the world a better place.

I encompass, and I eclipse.

Bring your daughter to the slaughter.

What did I start?

Ham, you need to consider the fact that I'm right next to Marin county. Those fuckers give all of us a bad name. You, sir, are first class all the way.

I can also think of worse places to be for 2 weeks.

Like Northern California, which seems to be the douchbag capital of the world. You'd think this was one big vagina.

LET THE SHART FLOW!

Stop Or My Mom Will Shart

I shart the sheriff, but I didn't rim the deputy.

there's the FoS humor we know and don't love

Shart me! He rimmed it!

but you can strive for second place

I forgot to mention that the event is a cross between rimming and sharting.

We can't all be winners like Kait.

Happy birthday Ham!

Fun fact, Ham has been an involuntary participant in the Ham Challenge since birth.

I love having a liquor store next to my new FNM spot.

That offends me. Consider me offended.
