GhostwriterDoF: [...]
Thanks, but don't feel sorry in the least for me, I just turned 50 years old this year, and it is a miracle that I'm still walking among the living, so whatever health issues I have to deal with are a small price to pay to be alive. Even on the bad days I take pause to thank the Stars, perhaps even a few of the Gods and Goddesses too, as I like to let them know they are still remembered. ;)
I do miss the intense training, but I am slowly working myself into better shape, getting ahead of the health issues. Believe it or not, it takes a lot of energy just to think about things, getting in shape helps a lot with the writing and being able to concentrate.
It is a far better thing to be a Ghost in spirit, than always being a ghostly Spirit! heh!
I'm not feeling sorry
for you, I'm sad that you're facing health issues, I wish everyone could be as healthy as they wished and lived their lives without the constrains health issues put on it.
The fact that you say "miracle" makes me think that you faced something life threatening, and that makes me sad too. But I'm glad that you're among us and doing better.
You turned 50 you say? Way too young to not be able to enjoy life they way you want to.
And I see that you don't have a GOGWiki wishlist, how are we supposed to gift you birthday presents, eh?
I hope your writing goes as you wish it to, and that we enjoy some of your work soon.
*thanks the Stars, Gods and Goddesses*
CarrionCrow: That sounds like boatloads of garbage...fingers crossed that everything turns out favorably for you in the end.
Gaming-wise, I've been doing Escape Goat 1 and 2. 1's gone into total twitch platformer hell levels, and 2's a prettier, somewhat more elaborate version of the first half of 1, a combo of medium-difficulty platforming and puzzle solving.
Soccorro very kindly gifted me Outlaws earlier (well, both that and Loom, but they have a massive love for Outlaws, so they want me to try that one first), so that's being added to the stuff I'm playing now list.
Smoking-wise, it's been cutting down heavily, not quite being brave enough to take the full leap and go off completely.
But I'll be taking that next step here in the next few hours, since I've been telling people who I essentially barter my ability to lift heavy crap for them with cigarettes that I'm not interested and to please stop shoving them in my face, making quitting that much harder. -laughs-
I've never played
Outlaws, you and Soccorno should share your experience with us.
As for the smoking - I see you're surrounded by caring friends. :-P
Good luck, fingers crossed you prevail, since that's what you want.
ddickinson: I had a big smile on my face when we were talking about it, just the thought of Hyper receiving the PM and imagining his reaction made me smile.
Well I am glad you did not refuse the gift (like you do certain other gifts ;-)), as it was a very wonderful gesture form our lovely toxicTom.
Victim seemed so fitting, especially as we thought we might need to get a bit heavy handed with you to make you accept the gift. :-)

I just poured a glass of wine and drinking it in Tom's health and yours.
I'm still in awe, very humbled he picked me with so many worthy and amazing people here.
What certain other gifts are you talking about? Didn't I accept a gift from you recently? I only refused
Fist Puncher, and only because I had foreseen the future and knew that the lovely Owl would want it at some point.
On a different note - you should definitely go with black; always a classy and classic choice one can't go wrong with. ;-)
