Yowzah, it's been nearly a month since I injured my finger playing keeper. It went calm after a week, but hurts in the exact same way now. Wonder what I did to it this time.

Oh, I was going to recommend bashing of the head area against the wall surface area. Well, you shot down my resourcefulness.

She had huge charisma, almost as much as me. The almost incessant posting didn't have a negative effect on this either.

She basically made several different accounts claiming to be two sisters and a girlfriend, and had them all interact with each other. Giant web of deceit, but not exactly a damaging one.

He/she probably cared and felt embarrassed. There really was no need for the deceit. We all liked her/him.

Multiple accounts happen. I've experienced the same with people on a forum I used to frequent before this one (role playing one). I've learned not to judge, either way.

Because? Storms? Sweltering heat?


Eh, Hurricane Arthur is supposed to land on the coast of North Carolina around tonight at midnight and is projected to be a Category 2 hurricane by landfall.

Hatteras Island has been subject to mandatory evacuation. There is currently nobody, resident or visitor, on the island. 25 coastal and inland counties in eastern North Carolina have been placed under States of Emergency by the governor. The entire North Carolina coast has been issued voluntary evacuations. Lots of people, mostly visitors, are coming back into western parts of NC. Ferry service is scheduled to run regularly for those who decide they still want to evacuate before the storm hits, but the ferry service will be halted when the hurricane gets too close to the coast (meaning wind speeds get too high for the ferries to safely make their voyages), meaning anybody who decided to stay on the islands will be stranded until the hurricane passes.
