How are you feeling today?

[Pompey Bum]

Spare no mercy.

[Tyrion Cheddar]

I've got a large pimple on my cheek that I really should take a blowtorch to.

[Clopin]

Lance that sucka.

[Pompey Bum]

Spare no mercy.

In our entire history of play I have served Lykren a total of 27 crushing, total, and miserable defeats. For his part he has edged me out to claim a win in 27 very close games, and there were nine draws; a perfectly even score representative of very uneven chess endowments.

[Lykren]

Twenty-seven times, Clopin has used computer assistance to enable him to counter my formidable natural talent. Twenty-seven times he has risked facing me unaided, and faced the consequences.

[Pompey Bum]

Did you win, Lykren?

[Lykren]

I didn't win... I triumphed!

If I may interject to vent, I'm feeling miserable right now because my freaking allergies are bothering my eyes and making me blink rapidly. It's uncomfortable and has been happening all year. I'm tired of this. I am being retested for allergies on the 7th of July, so thank goodness for that. Prescription medication doesn't even help it.

[Pompey Bum]

Sorry to hear about your sensitivities, SC. I hope the retesting helps, but until then, try to hang in.

[Pompey Bum]

I didn't win... I triumphed!

Congratulations. I'm sure it's a good omen for your summer and fall plans.

[sweetcaroline]

Thank you for your regards, Pompey Bum.

[Pompey Bum]

Stand firm, right? Doesn't help with my migraines, either, but you can't let your diseases know they're getting to you.

[sweetcaroline]

I am sorry about your migraines, PB. My mother also greatly suffers from them. I recall taking care of her while she was in the hospital for a week last Spring due to her migraines. Although this may seem pretty extreme, I recently saw an ad that advertised the use of botox for helping migraines.

Thanks for your concern, SC. Mine usually come in clusters (several a week, or several a day if it's bad) that turn up a few times a year and last a month or so. For some reason, this summer had been bad, but I've been good all day and can sort of tell that this cluster's moved on. Migraine's are so weird.
