If Psychics Can Read the Future, Why Don't They Win the Lottery?

Because they know I would knock them in the head and steal their ticket. -
Where do scammers usually send me messages?
The Blackangel replied to Heatman's topic in General Chat
During an election year, I get spam texts from politicians on both sides of the aisle. When I get one, I immediately reply with STOP, which is usually the reply to be unsubscribed from their lists. But it never makes a dent. The rest of the time, I get phone calls that are pure bullshit. Like here in the last couple years I've been getting calls from people claiming to be Medicare. When I ask them to tell me what my first name is, they go silent for a few seconds then hang up on me. And my first name is a very common name. That one though, I laugh about as they're that stupid they can't even take the time to find anything out about the person they're wanting to scam. But a popcorn worthy response is only doable if you're living with someone who has dementia. Put them on the phone with the scammer. Twenty minutes into the call they'll be thinking they're talking to their long lost uncle Bob. The scammer will actually be saying "Look I got shit to do" and try getting off the phone. -
Famous Places/Things That Totally Disappointed You
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Zombie Road out in St Louis. I've been up and down that road hundreds of times, both at night and day, and there's not a goddamn thing there that is even remotely spooky. Let alone haunted or dangerous. The only dangerous thing is getting caught by the cops after dark. If you want a physical lullaby, Zombie Road is for you. -
Breast implants. I don't like how small mine are, so I would increase them a couple cup sizes if I could afford it.

I caught pneumonia when I was only 2 weeks old. The doctor actually told my parents that if I didn't start showing some improvement soon that he was putting me in the hospital. I was knocking on death's door.

Deep forest. Seclusion, isolation, silence, and solitude are what I crave the most. The sea shore wouldn't be particularly bad if it wasn't for the fact that it's out in the open where people will be around all the time. So if you can set me up with this cabin deep in the woods, a mile from the nearest road, I'm in hog heaven.

Actually, Sissy is the more mischievous of the two. But we also picked up a rottweiler puppy a few days ago as well. His name is Prometheus. Once I can get a decent pic or two, I'll post them as well.

Beautiful or interesting cultures/societies in game worlds

Living in 1899. I’m the kind of woman who has always wished she had been born a century earlier. Life was harder, but also a hell of a lot simpler. -
Games that feature segments played in the dark
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
If you’re just meaning that you play at night, 2 games spring to mind immediately. Zelda OoT and RDR2. There are parts of Link To The Past that are in pitch black darkness, but link also has the lamp which lights up a tiny bit until he gets to a room with light or he lights a lamp in the room he’s in. I’m sure there’s a lot more, but I’m half asleep right now and can’t think of any at the moment. -
Yeah, but have 2000 pounds of pissed off hamburger between your legs is a rush better any 8 ball could give you.

What games most reward exploration and experimentation?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
RDR2 by far rewards you for searching. There is so much to discover that every time you play it you can, and most likely WILL, find something you never knew about before. Especially if you’re a n00b. For example here’s a short list of just a couple things: Fluorite Ammolite Shrunken Head Ancient Tomahawk Female Fertility Statue Ancient Statue puzzle Mountain Face carving White/Red Chestnut/Warped Brindle Arabian Tricorn Hat All 3 items in the Viking tomb Gold Shield the devil UFO Obelisk Flying Machine There’s also things like trinkets, that you can find. The first 4 that come to mind for me are the shark’s tooth, cat eye, hawk talon, and turtle shell trinkets. If you get the chanupah back for Rains Fall without killing anyone he will give you the owl feather trinket. If you have the special or ultimate edition then you have the eagle talon talisman and iguana scale trinket as 2 of the MANY bonuses the special/ultimate editions give you. This is just the first small handful of things to find. And if you want my opinion, the most obscure and hardest to find of everything in RDR2 is the fluorite and ammolite. If you don’t learn from someone who has already found them, you have literally no chance of finding them. There is nothing in the game that even slightly alludes to their mere existence. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of this game, and I’m still finding new shit all the time. -
To unwind I often hop on my NES or SNES. Games I love and takes me back to a simpler time. Especially the original Zelda. Zelda, Blaster Master, SMB, and TMNT 1 are the ones that come to mind mostly. Surprising to no one, sometimes RDR2 is what the doctor calls for. But for the simple reason of relaxation, it’s usually an 30+ year old game.

What console did you start gaming with?
The Blackangel replied to Kennysplash's topic in Gaming Forum
I started with either the Atari 2600 or Colecovision. It's been so damn long that I honestly don't remember which one I played on first. -
Futuristic Sports: Predictions for the Next Century
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
Probably never gonna be possible but this would be cool to see. Also, I play the shit out of this game on my Switch. -
Is anyone else watching the playoffs? It's been a pretty good run so far. If you want my opinion, I see Boston taking home another Stanley Cup. That is unless Vancouver takes over Edmonton. Then I can't say who the victor will be. But it's gonna be a hell of a competition, that's for sure!

We're going to pick up the macaw this weekend. I'm thinking of getting a Rottweiler along with my pitbulls. I have the pits. I just need to come up with the money for the rott puppy. Here's the 2 pitbulls we have.

What is or was your best subject in school?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
English was my best subject. I loved the course curriculum. My worst was probably math. I still remember when I was in 6th grade my literal math score was 2% out of 100%. That's a hell of an F on your report card. Fractions were killing me. Also the teacher would give us sheets with the simplest math on it. Things like 3x8 and there would be like 50 of those. I always failed because I would get mixed up and start adding or subtracting. She mixed it up with some being multiplication, others addition, and some were subtraction. Four or five problems in I would get mixed up and start doing the wrong thing. Science wasn't bad for me. Biology sucked, but general science wasn't bad. Then again, in high school I tended to sleep through class. Until I dropped out, that is.
