Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.
Again a lot of historians debated why and how it ended up. A lot of his friends were getting married, having kids, and weren't hanging out with him anymore. Including the girl he had been dating for years. With the relationship ending in flames after she hooked up with a close friends of his, since she thought they weren't exclusive.
He had made a lot of attempts to move on from pulp writing and sketchy magazines who had ripped him off a lot, to a more professional publishing studio but he lacked the connections and education to get his foot in. Plus his mom's recent health problems and his own issues made it incredibly hard to write during this time where he came closest to mainstream success.
Because Howard wasn't ready to settle down and start a family with her, which is what she wanted. And after she got really sick after overworking, she had a job as a school teacher, specifically saving money so they could move in together and get him out of his parents house.
When she visited with him after getting out of the hospital he was too busy talking about his mom and her recent health problems to ask if she was alright. Which was her final straw basically, and it's around this time she started banging Howard's friend probably out of revenge or to make him jealous which permanently broke the relationship.
Night has been good, had some pizza which was fun and then house is cool again. Thank God. The ac went out last night, but thankfully the landlord had someone out this afternoon to fix it. I knew right away what was wrong with it, if I'm being honest. Benefit of trade school. lol. But I couldn't touch it because I didn't want to give anyone an excuse not to fix it.
Tomorrow's going to be a good day for writing, since Brinkley the puppy is going with my aunt to work meaning I don't have to look after him and can focus entirely on writing. Which I mean he's definitely a lot more independent and doesn't need nearly the amount of hand holding as before, but he's still only a couple months old. He can get into trouble if we let him.
It made me chuckle a little, and the dog is perfectly fine. He prefers smaller softer wires, so it's been exclusively phone and laptop chargers for the most part he's been snacking on and those both have tons of safety features specifically because people, not dogs, are dumb with them.
