Day EightyThree: Breakfast [check] Garbage out [check] Play dough made [check] Helped finish Native Long House Project [check] OnLine Class for Lawson [check] Lunch [check] Wow... up until noon the day seemed to be going along just swimmingly. Then came the phone call... dear lord there is always one in the group... usually it's my mother-in-law... but I have to tell you, Lawson has a friend who is my mother-in-law in training. There is a reason these people have no friends. Well they have themselves which would be more than enough for them if they were independently wealth and could just pay people to do everything for them. So Lawson plays games online with other people from his class, most of the time things go well, most of his friends are normal when it comes to simple concepts like sharing, helping each other, getting along with each other... sure there are the screaming noises that come from the basement as smoke comes out of their avatars body from the multiple gun shot wounds (I use gun shot as a relative term, the holes could be from anything between speargun to accidental SAM deployment), they are kids, kids make noise when they are having fun, that's fine. But there is always that one "friend" that never got how to think of anything but themselves, that one that you would forget to call and invite places but they would some how show up anyway... someone must have invited them but no one is willing to admit it... they abuse your generosity... promises to pay you back on Tuesday if you buy them a hamburger today (but never pay you back)... they drink all you beer, ask for a ride to the liquor store so they can buy you some more, forget their wallet so you have to pay and then they drink that beer too. So Lawson plays with one of these people... and I have to listen to it because he uses the speaker phone, pretty much beside me. I'm going to spare you the details but after an hour of being lied to, screwed over, stolen from... some begging and back stabbing... yup that was it... hang up the phone, find a new friend to play with, this is over... not happening anymore. So I pretty much hate the game he's playing (nothing really wrong with it just not my cup of tea)... I logged in and made an account and took care of the thing this other kid was paid to do for him... that is after collecting all the resources again that were stolen... we played together for the rest of the after noon. No one needs to deal with a complete fucking dick head like that... I certainly don't want Lawson growing up and thinking that it's acceptable behaviour... Heather got home and I got a break from the game. Chicken Meatballs in Buffalo Chicken Wing Sauce... on a bun (yes one of our buns)... and then a few more meatie-balls on the side that wouldn't fit LOL. And maybe a few more passing through the kitchen out of the pot... after that I went back to playing with Lawson until bed time. Some times you need a good friend to play with... even if thy are a little older and swear and throw things on the floor because of lack of coordination... His computer crashed again at 8pm, he packed it in and got to sleep at a reasonable time. Game might have just bored him to sleep, I know I fell face first into the keyboard on several occasions. Ya, Daddy's taking a quick break while the lag catches up. LOL After Lawson and Heather fell to sleep I finish up some art work and sent it off to be made into stickers and t-shirts.

Which game? The girls drive me insane with Roblox and Dylan drives me nuts with fortnite. Dylan is the only one allowed playing with mics or over the phone because he’s in the basement

The game I didn't like was indeed Roblox... I can't even see me playing Fortnite, any controller that has more than the standard one button I had when I was a kid is just too much for me to remember... ok I seem to have dropped my gun again, I see it at my feet, which button do I use to pick it up and when I pick it up do I need to push a button to load it or is that automatic and which one is fire again??? Oh never mind I seem to be dead again already. How are you dead? the game hasn't even started yet... I don't know, call me gifted or old or what ever... And when he's playing fortnite with the mic/speaker on I have to walk away some times... a few days ago there was a 6 year old trying to explain to the others about how he had a ball sack and girls don't have ball sacks they only have lines... I'm like who the hell are you playing with? He's like just some random kids online that asked him to join their group... it's like those kids are idiots... go find someone else to play with. I'm listening to them play minecraft with their teacher right now... completely different conversation thankfully LOL - Is there no french word for gate? I keep hearing that come up in the conversation... LOL

I forgot about that Minecraft with the teacher I’ve been busy doing everything else today. I only play call of duty these days myself but I keep in game chat disabled

I was reminded of the Minecraft session while we were sitting in a parking lot in Timmins about 1/2 hour before it started... so I made my iPhone a hotspot and hooked the ipad up to it... and lets just say apple is garbage... nothing worked. Had to go home and log in there.
