I think I'll get some ice cream for real this evening after work. It is just not a good time of the year, I wish it would be already march.
*hug just because*
moonshineshadow: I knew you could not be trusted with hugs. I think we need to spam you with nice hugs until you know how to do it right :D
*nice hug*
j0ekerr: What is this Im feeling, is this... pure, honest, unadulterated love and affection... without bulbous tumours or putrescent growths to go along with it? No phlegm, sores or boils, no plague inducing touch?!
GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF! This is the right way to go *another nice hug*
*hug just because*

Good day, moon. *big hug*
Today... I feel like an electric can opener. I want to hold on tight to every can, and give them a big hug until their head falls off.
Charming? Nice... :-D *big charming hug*
I'm okay... Not feeling great, but not feeling bad. Just... Meh. (Thankful that I am not worse, though!)
Mornoon, little owl.
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well :-( I hope you feel better soon. *big medicinal hug*

That sounds quite interesting :D *return hug* Btw I just noticed that your bird is missing from your avatar, where did it go? Or did you just not re-upload your new avatar after the avatar-mess here on the forum?

But you did get the new world to colonise and spread your faith and language. So you shouldn't be too concerned about one Protestant island kingdom. :-)
Seriously, when I mention them to people over here they give me weird looks and tell me to stop making shit up. Even if there were ships on fire, the general consensus is that no one would have panicked. The men of the tercios were made of sterner stuff than that.
What everyone thinks is that, it was both a combination of the storms and the commander-in-chief being a retarded dumb-as-fuck inbred idiot who made some of the worst naval decisions ever.
And I've always considered it to be more of a "catholicism lite" nation. What I remember from 3rd grade history is that people were dancing in the streets when Cromwell kicked the bucket.

I don't feel like taking the time to correct anything, because I just assume it will probably break again. All the recent glitches are getting really annoying...

But I agree all these bugs and glitches are really getting annoying. It gives me the feeling that the day were the forum is completely broken is nearing...

The fire ships did exist, and actually proved quite successful at damaging and demoralising the armada while it was docked in France. It was not the main reason the invasion did not success, but it was a contributing factor. Next you will be telling me that your other invasion attempt with the French failed due to a storm as well. :-)
As for Cromwell, you must remember that he was a Puritan and he was becoming a dictator. When he died, the people were glad to be rid of yet another controlling religion and defiantly glad to get rid of his power-mongering. Monarchy was restored, but these were Catholic monarchs, which again led to a civil war and the Catholic king was removed from the throne, and we made sure that the crown remains Protestant, and free from external control.
Why do you wish it was already March? Is it due to the bad weather, or something you would rather not talk about?

Didn't get that far, the last thing we got to during third grade was Cromwell and that awesome freedom fighter, Guy Fawkes. In 4th grade, I got this really boring teacher who droned on about neolithic barrows, suffice to say I remember next to nothing of that year, just one or two things about Boudica, which was the only time I managed to muster some interest in the subject.
I've always considered the anglican church to be a catholic lite version with its own pope. But then, all these silly divisions within christianity have always sounded more like local team football supporters than anything else to me.

So Armageddon is upon us. Does that mean the four Angels have been loosed? If not, then perhaps we still have time to ready our defences. :-)
*Armageddon hug*
moonshineshadow: Bad stuff last year around this time. I thought I was almost over with it but somehow it came back... And I think once these weeks pass I can go back to "normal" again. I'm so very sorry to hear that. I wish I could be there to give you a real big hug, and lot of ice cream. *biggest virtual hug*

It's interesting how the different sides see things in the past. What is bad for one is good for the other, what one thinks happens may not be the same as what the other knows happened.
Most Christian religions are the same, they all believe in God. The only real difference is how the human element manages the religion. There is no "pope" in the Church of England, no one person has any real power. There is a figure head, but he alone can do very little. Unlike the Catholic Pope of old, who could often endorse, encourage, and sometimes even order some horrible actions, such as the protestant massacres all across Europe. Most splinter groups of Christianity came along to remove the corrupt elements (or to trick people and enforce their own corruption on people, like many religions in the US) that humans bring to most things, business, religious, just about anything we touch usually gets corrupted by someone, it seems to be our very nature.
But enough of the talk of wars and religious strife. Do any of you like the look of today's new point-and-click game?
*Armageddon hug*
And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, [1] and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. [...] By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone...

I had a look at it, but honestly I don't like this cartoon mixed with real style of it very much. So for now I have not yet decided if I should buy it.

moonshineshadow: I had a look at it, but honestly I don't like this cartoon mixed with real style of it very much. So for now I have not yet decided if I should buy it. I know what you mean. The cartoon graphics mixed with real people doesn't look that good, but I guess if people enjoy those kind of games, then it might be good. It seems a little over priced for such an old game, I miss the days when old games were $5.99. But sally even older games are now increasing in price.
I'm going to pass on the game. I like point-and-click games, but I think that game is not for me. I have not bought a new point-and-click game for a while now, as none of the newer ones appeal to me that much.
