I think I am in need of a good Hero type MU. I took a look at the wiki, and I think I am in the same boat as Gany where it is a little confused and things aren't clicking for me (or I am just tired). Can someone give me a mental boost?

@Arkandel I just got back from Bali, and there are also plenty of strays there as well. It was sad to see them just padding down the roads.

... To find a new home for their pet.

Shit like this just breaks my heart. I just want to go home and hug my floofer now.

One of my neighbors told me the following story:

She was walking on the side of a road close to her son's house who, at the time, was a student so it was a bit out of the way in the suburbs. This car stops and the driver lets a puppy out, shuts the door, then drives away.

The puppy just started to run after the car, confused and probably wondering if this was some kind of game. It couldn't keep up so it stopped soon after.

For this kind of person there is no hell warm enough. Like at least take it to a shelter.

What an ass. Now I have mental visions of that poor pup and am tearing up. Tell me at least the neighbor took the pup in or helped it in some way.

I don't recall since this conversation was years ago. She had four dogs of her own, though. Not sure what happened with the puppy.

I'm just going to have to go with the assumption that since they were a dog owner, they did right by the puppy. At least the assumption will make me feel better.

RIP King Kong Bundy.

I played a Drow with a bunch of other people way back then... That was a long, long time ago.

@Saulot Thanks! It was really all my wife's doing. I never really thought about looking for them but she is a historian and the mystery was too much for her to ignore. 24&me and Ancestry were obtained, and about 3 weeks after I got my results my father's sister did a test that sent up a flag. My wife contacted her, and then from there found everyone else.

It's all still pretty new to me, and a bit awkward since I am introverted as it is. Talking to 'family' that I don't know is a little weird. But bio-dad is very receptive so that makes things easier. Bio-mom is not as 'chatty' with me, sadly. I have tried reaching out a few times since the initial phone call with her (where she seemed receptive), but I don't get much back. Ah well.

@mietze I just went through this myself. In the last year I have found both my biological father and my biological mother.

My biological father didn't know I existed, and was really happy to find out about me (as was his wife and other children).

My biological mother seemed excited at first when I contacted her, but more recent attempts to try to connect seem to be met with less than enthusiastic reception. I was hoping that I might get to develop a relationship with her since my Mom (the only one I knew about till recently) just passed a few months ago.

Both of them live within 30 miles of each other. One of these days I am planning on heading out to Oklahoma to meet them in person (or at least my bio-dad who really seems receptive to the idea).

Good luck to you!

@ZombieGenesis What that old cartoon movie didn't do the job?

*That thing was a shitshow.

@Testament Yeah. bonuses are taxed at the max rate.

@Auspice I used to work in places that had nerf wars. God how I miss working at places that allowed nerf wars. My 30 round drum fed 5 round a second autofire gun is just sitting at home gathering dust.

@Derp Brings back memories...

@Aria Yeah, I hear ya. The wife and I had done the big wedding before with our respective first spouses, so this time we just went on the cheap and easy.

And let me tell you, having your wedding reception at Quark's bar while LeVar Burton just also happens to be there is just the icing on the non-existent wedding cake.

I miss Quark's. Hell, I miss the Warp Core Breach. They always tried to tell me that I needed someone else to drink one of those with me. I always proved them wrong.
