Ha!  I needed that laugh this morning, thank you so much! :::cheers::: :::cheers::: :::cheers:::

The lady I was seeing set off for St. Louis yesterday.  I am less in pain about the whole thing, such is the healing process.  It is strange letting go, and I have done it as humanely as I can.

Need to stay focused on my personal and professional goals, my business is up 20% this year, and seems to be on track for 45% by the end of 2018.  I need to keep pushing and set myself up for 2019, and ... 2020.  I've not had a goal set 3 years away before, but this time I do, and it will happen.

Time is so short, I must make every good use of it.  There will be no more dilly dallying, no more procrastination, but instead a daily motion in the direction of simplifying and accomplishing, prioritizing and achieving.  Life is short.

@BAWTRM, I only beat you by about 24 hours! Just got to be that little bit quicker on the draw. I was worried Feanor would have posted it already.

Meanwhile Fidelis comes in here posting the scroll of FILTHY LIES! I need a great many more models, and painting the ones I have will only slow down the addictive collecting.

Ah, so you did. My internal clock was off it seems.  :biggriin:

And the scroll of FILTHY LIES indeed!

I recently placed my entire Empire army on display in my study.  It takes up 2 shelves on the built in case.  I don't play anymore but that army means a lot.  The community here has given me some really good friends.  Most of these models tells a story of someone who was kind and thought enough of me to paint something of incredibly high standards.  I can honestly never thank any of them enough.

Me and Wissenlander had babies!

not together.

It should be obvious Fidelis, if I wanted the light I would actually leave my miniature filled apartment. No sir, the sweet soft light that filters through the walls made of warhammer for me.

That looks awesome Wissenlander! It's a great display, and the memories with it would be great to have in the open as well.

I was looking at cabinets for army storage today in a furniture consignment shop, but what I found was a wicked cool bureau like piece that also might work and keep dust off of my armies.  Plus the one's in production could be sorted and hidden from view until they're "finished".

Looks like Wiss has his Empire army finely displayed, congrats! :icon_cool: :::cheers:::

Why the goblet of fire of course.  They use the cup from the year before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding

The draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup took place on 1 December 2017 at the State Kremlin Palace in Moscow, Russia.[1] It determined the group in which each of the 32 qualified national teams will play in at the start of the tournament. The teams were divided into four pots of eight, with one team selected from each pot to form a group.

Unlike previous editions of the World Cup, all pots were determined by each national team's October 2017 FIFA World Ranking, with Pot 1 containing the highest-ranked teams, Pot 2 containing the next highest-ranked teams, and so on; in previous editions only one pot containing the highest-ranked teams was determined by rank, with the other three pots determined by continental confederation. The hosts continued to be placed in Pot 1 and treated as a seeded team, therefore, Pot 1 consisted of hosts Russia and the seven highest-ranked teams that qualify for the tournament.

The draw sequence started with pot 1 and ended with pot 4.[2]

As with previous editions, no group had more than one team from any continental confederation with the exception of UEFA, which had at least one, but no more than two in a group.[2]

Congrats. Your clinic isn't intended for extracting alien probes, by any chance, is it?
