    What have you done today to make your life better tomorrow? Obsessing over things you can't control isn't productive.

    Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

      But you have a life and don't post asking for help on getting out of a self destructive rut.

        Trying to establish a good routine. Not much else I can do really.

        It isn't a matter of productivity, it is a matter of satisfaction.

                                They're very good at psycho warfare so all you'd have to teach them is the "logical" part. That might be difficult, though. . .

                                  Nope. I don't enjoy those enough to be any good at designing 'em, and couldn't help program 'em worth spit. Tick-based MMPOLRPG is what I enjoy and what I do. To give you an idea, sometimes when I need to take a break, I'll run up a quick game of 1-player Civilization. :)
