Well, this conversation has certainly taken a strange turn, iamnotaparadox.

No need for alarm, I only roast worlds in the games Sins of a Solar Empire and Sword of the Stars.

I know you wouldn't really roast worlds- you wouldn't want to harm any parakeets that were living there. 
How ARE your pet parakeets these days?

How ARE your pet parakeets these days?
Right now, I'm having them kept away from the apartment because of cleaning up from when it flooded here. Lots of stuff mildewed and a lot of bleach had to be used to clean the walls, and it's not good for them to breath that especially since their avian lungs are far more efficient then the mammalian bellows type lungs. Before they left, the parakeets Edmund and Lu raised two kids, Sam and Dave, who are about the coolest little baby birds around. Of the parakeets, there's also Eustace and Jill, and Piper and Preena. The cockatiels are doing good also. Patty is still alive, she's about a decade in age now, and she and Caso also recently raised two more babies, Ruby and Joseph, in addition to the previous Pavi and Havi. Right now I'm not sure exactly how they are doing because they're at the house of a guy we found on Craigslist and he's been trying to avoid communication. Last time he let me see my friends they were okay, except for constantly being locked up and not allowed to fly, but right now we have no other choice with the apartment cleaning and the blasted management going around being busybody pests.

It doesn't sound like you've had the easiest start to married life. Hopefully things will be more peaceful from now on- surely you must have used up all your bad luck by now. It's no wonder that you feel like roasting a few planets.

Well, it's not married life that's the problem. The same stuff could just as easily occur were I single. It's the living in a neighborhood full of wannabe gangsters that's really getting annoying. And hearing their blasted racist chatter all the time, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! !

I didn't mean that married life was a problem (I've been happily married for 25 years myself), just that it would have been nice not to be flooded out and have that other stuff to deal with. I'm sure that you and sheisnotaparakeeteither are very happy together. 
Wannabe gangsters don't sound like very appealing neighbours, I must admit.

Wannabe gangsters don't sound like very appealing neighbours, I must admit.I didn't exactly think you were saying that, but yeah there have been some annoying circumstances to deal with for us. It's not every neighbor, of course, but the annoying ones do make themselves heard. Just got back from an interview, and it seemed to go well, but I'll probably just get a rejection letter regardless like all the other times I've interviewed there. They had a management turnover recently, so I might be hired, but then again having new managers often means having leaders who want to impress their superiors and often in the least desirable ways if you're a worker and not a manager, namely summary firings and kangaroo court style exit interviews for perfectly good employees, just so that the new management can list some experience on paper.

While everyone else is busy, I become the winner of the thread..
