1) Things can always get worse.
2) Stick together if you want to accomplish something.
3) Nothing good ever came from forming a committee.
4) If your friends let you down, get revenge.
5) If rich people are exploiting poor people, the poor people will turn on each other and make things worse for themselves.



I'd go with:
6) If you want a job done properly, do it yourself! ;)

After being in hospital for 14+ hours today, all I want to say is I am just amazed by our National Health Service. The level of care and compassion I've witnessed today has been stellar.
I am very, very tired now and I wasn't even the one rushing around, attending patients. Heroes, every single one of them.

Interesting isn't it? Food for the thought. :wink:

I feel so attached to the Cantr community I feel like announcing important personal events here (without details). My daughter and first child was born this past week. I'd say spawned but it wasn't that easy. However, my wife plays Cantr as well now so there were two Cantrians in the location (enough for a spawning) and I'd say the child was born 100% Cantrian.

Awwwwww...That's that cutest Cantrian spawn note ever! And Quahaki sounds like a very Cantrian-type place to live.

I hope you have a nice, snug little cottage with an open window and all the fancy stuff like a bed with some feather pillows and a fireplace and a bathtub and some soap!

Does she have a special Cantrian nickname yet? Something sweet and girly like Blojt or Baaak or Dworft?

All the best wishes for the two of you and your shiny, little spawngirl.

Congratulations to you and your family, I hope your daughter brings so much joy to your life. This news made me smile while I was in a not so cheerful mood.

It's funny you mention that, because Quahaki is a made-up planet I think I made up as a child and used for playing and drawing with my siblings. Now I realize it does sound Cantresque.

No Cantrians nicknames yet, though I like the idea. :D

PS I removed the double posts.

So I've been sent to Iowa for a month for work. I really don't miss the weather at home because the amount of snow outside our hotel is insane.... These 30 days better go quick...
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

It is almost May and nobody outside of Discord (and tbh not many people on Discord) know what is happening in my life! When was the last time I shared about such things?

It's been a long time since I posted, and today seems like the day to offer some thoughts out into the world so they stop buzzing in my head.

It has been a really stressful year so far but it seems like it's just getting more and more stressful. I am currently 6 months pregnant with our first baby and doing my best to keep it safe. My husband has been so helpful and his family have been a godsend but some work prospects for him have me extremely stressed, and that in turn stresses me out because I am scared of hurting our baby with the anxiety. And there's very few people I -can- talk to about this because I don't want to be a burden to anyone and at the same time I am scared that my feelings might be dismissed, as it has happened with my family in the past. My husband has so much in his mind already and I know he also worries about me but I don't want to worry him more. So I'm writing this in here in hopes that it will bring me a bit of relief. God knows I'm trying my best to relax and have that 'whatever happens, happens' mentality, but I'm struggling with the stress and anxiety.

There's no one like you
None like you!
