What's everyone up to right now?

That's always true, i guess. I overlooked that slightly, as japan didn't have the production power to actually produce enough I-Go tanks to be used like that

Meh, it depends on the size of the engagement.

404 I-Go's over their entire army is a little thin for it, but i'd say it's probably safe to assume they had more production in mind when they designed it 

Then again, the MG arrangement got changed with follow up tanks to be more standard rear facing, other than with the Chi-Ri, which they apparently decided needed one at a 90 degree angle out the left side, because reasons

I dunno. Japan make some shirty fucking tanks. I don't think that is a particularly controversial position.

Pretty much. Even their post war designs were shitty. Cold war tanks that got ruined by 20 mils isn't exactly what you'd call quality, really

Well, I can't say it's any easier; it's just not so hard anymore. It's confusing, because there's other things going on in my life which are looking to start paying off, in fact they're already changing rapidly; yet, while I want to move forward, and I know she wants me to, I still can't help those little pangs that she's not sharing these things with me. It's like driving with one foot on the gas and one on the brake, while in both forward and reverse gear, and steering left and right at the same time. Days like this and xmas just bring it into sharp relief.

She would have been 38 today. Yeah, a nine year age gap is nothing.

May your tomorrows reward you with the "-sweet" half of bittersweet. There's no talking around your loss -- it is a fact and all the nice words in the world can't do anything. But you're headed for tomorrow whether or not you want to, and whether or not you feel guilty about it. So it's best to not feel guilty about it (and I'm assuming guilt being the source of "little pangs" -- if I'm reading that wrong forgive me).

I think it's not so much guilt as it is regret, really. Take my visit to the Titanic exhibit in Belfast the other week. Sam loved the film Titanic and the very first xmas present I got for her was a limited collector's box of the film, including the video, a unique film cell, the script, postcards etc. She would have been over the moon to be in the place where it all started. That's not to mention the replica 'heart of the ocean' necklace I bought from the gift shop for my extra special friend; whilst I got it and gave it with all my heart, don't you think I would so badly want Sam to have it just as much? Hence the source of the confused emotions. Especially this time of year.

No. Effing. Instruments.

Eagerly awaiting 25 December to celebrate the birth of my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

Liar!

Pants on fire.

My husband and kids are making party mix for a gift, and I'm having trouble not eating it all. Already got all my wrapping done--early for once.

That's nice
