Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The Moaning, Groaning, I just want to Vent thread

So the crap parade keeps on moving.

My mother's priest cousin and two spinster sister cousins set up a mass for my mom for this upcoming Saturday... without asking me, my dad, or my brother for any input or if it was okay at all.

I haven't felt this betrayed or violated in a long time.

That is rather thoughtless of them, I'm really sorry, Sarky.

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry! They don't deserve to be related to someone as good as you!

Yet another delay with the JL vs LSH series, .... this time with issue #4 set to come out June 14. You know, I've forgotten what the story's even about!!! ???????????? lol

I passed on the last one. Perhaps one day I'll see it in a TPB sale. That could be a few reboots down the road. There was a poll here recently rating the GDS. A little later I thought that however you rated it, it was so much better than this tepid attempt.

Yeah, its really frustrating. Last time Bendis talked about the delays, he basically put it at Godlewski's feet, saying he needed more time. Not sure what the deal is this time, but it sure is frustrating when you wait for two months for an installment and you finish reading it in like five minutes.

And to drag things out even more, we have to wait for the end to see what the Legion plans are! We'll know in 2023 at this rate...

They should consider getting a whole story produced before they start publishing it, maybe...? : /

yeah this kind of thing just makes me want to wait for the trade

Our 31st century descendants will be the ones who get to enjoy it, the way the delays are going.

Argh! After 2+ years of dodging, I finally got the Rona!

The good news is that I was able to get hooked up with Paxlovid really quickly. So I may be around here a bit more this week.

get well soon GL! welcome to the Rona club

Hope you get better soon GL.

Keep being watchful, GL. It's the after effects even more than the original illness that can be a huge problem for a lot of people.

mr_cleome is determined to fly next month and I'm super-displeased about it. But at least I'm on his case about getting boosted the proper two weeks before he goes.

Ah man speaking of COVID, my boss tested positive today and I have no idea if I caught it. I immediately went to get tested and it was negative, but what if it's too early to detect it?

Thanks all - I'm slogging through. Every day the fever gets better, and I get a bit tired midway through the day, but its mostly good.

Cleome - I'm sure he's gonna be masked, and he'll be fine. I've flown twice since the mask mandate was lifted and I was fine - ironically its after not flying for a couple months when I got it!

Sarky, definitely test again in a few days, just to be safe.

At least you’re getting better! For my man the worst of the fever lasted 3 days. For me it was the sore throat that lasted a bit. We both recovered fully in about a week and a half

I guess technically I'm on day 3 and had a slight fever, but its not the debilitating kind from day 0-1, so I'm sure the medicine & vax is helping there. And that (plus fatigue) was/is the worst of my symptoms.

yeah, when we had it we spent most of our time sleeping too. or at least lying in bed

Glad to hear it hasn't lasted too long for most of you. Still need to be careful. My son (20s) caught it early this year and he was out bad for two weeks, but even after that for the next several weeks he was exhausted and going to bed at 7 every night.

Yeah the fatigue this thing instills is no joke.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away yesterday. While I haven't thought about her as "my" leader or whatever for years, as a kid we sang "God Save the Queen" as our national anthem before it was changed in the 70s, and her picture was all over the place. She's just sort of been there all my life. Not unexpected but it feels weird. How is it for the others of you from the UK or Commonwealth countries?

It does feel that we've lost part of our national identity. The respect she was held in by so many around the world, was across generations. Her dignity and duty over long years made her the face of our country, through good times and bad. Regardless of views on the monarchy, she was an incredibly popular queen.

The constant obsession in the U.S. with royalty is a massive headache to me.

That includes U.S. "Royalty," by the way.

I tried to tell my Mom once that some pol here she worships as some kind of heroic go-getter magical girl was just another scion of a wealthy family which already had political office before Magical Girl was even born, probably. Mom basically la-la-la-ed at me and said I "made up" information which anyone can find on Wiki.

I mean, obviously you have to click on Wiki footnotes to find primary source link, but Good Gravy! Who is this woman? She's not like the one who raised me. I don't even know her.

This is probably one of the many reasons my Mom has stopped speaking to me at all.

I fele you cleome. Philippines inherited that too... a huge portion of our broadsheet newspapers are still devoted to, ugh, celebrity news.

Western Europe is much more sensible. Actors here are more like normal people. Politicians, too. Even the Dutch princess could walk around Amsterdam without getting too much attention.

sorry about your mom...

Yeah. I wish the world were like a Lifetime Movie and you could comedically badger your way back into the non-communicating person's life. And after a couple of teary margaritas together and a TON of sappy background music, everything would be okay again.

But that's probably why those movies are so popular. They don't remind you of how real life actually is.
