@Kyrisse

I thought so too. RL stuff needs to go pm sometimes and it was only you and me so that's ok.

@Alexfangtalon

Great Post Alex!

@Wick Thanks

Hey guys if you need to work around Venku a little bit try to give him a little space. Something in RL is keeping him away right now.

Okay. I hope he's okay.

@Kyrisse

He is. I'll let him tell you guys about it if he wants to. I think he will but it's his story to tell.

Yeah I'm all right. My dad got into a car accident and totaled the vehicle he was driving. He is ok only suffering some whiplash. Another car cut him off, he overcompensated, and the roads were slippery causing him to lose control and the truck rolled over.

@Venku Oh no. :( I'm glad your dad's okay though. I hope he gets well soon.

I hope everything ends up ok.

Thanks I really appreciate it

Conquering the World in 10 Steps

- Kyrie Adderholt-

Story
While most people make world domination seem quite difficult, it really is rather simple. You just need the correct supplies and a proper strategy. I have compiled the ten steps it will take for you to achieve your goal of world domination with the least amount of effort.

1. LEARN TO DODGE! I bet you thought this was just for Quidditch purposes, but really it is part of world domination training! You never know when your enemies (or friends) might throw something at you. Knowing how to dodge is an essential skill to conquer the world and not get seriously injured.

2. NEVER LET A MAN BE IN CHARGE! Sorry to all the males out there, but you’re just not meant to be in charge. You can be second in command, sure, but in charge? No way. Just imagine if you got lost somewhere on your journey to complete power and a man was in charge! He’d be too stubborn to ask directions and someone else would take over the world.

3. FORM A CHAIN OF COMMAND! This is essential to a successful attempt at power. You must have a second, third, fourth, etc. in command. These can be anyone who you think will do a proper job if you are unable to do so. Just make sure they aren’t going to stab you in the back for power. No one wants to lose power in Julius Caesar fashion!

4. NEVER TRUST A LOBIESK! This should really be self explanatory.

5. HAVE FIERCE UNIFORMS! If you’re going to take over the world you might as well look good while doing it! You need the right mixture of fierceness and intimidation. Think Lady Gaga meets Death Eaters.

6. PICK THE LOCATION OF YOUR HEADQUARTERS CAREFULLY! This is where lots of people mess up. It is fine to have an awesome looking HQ, but it needs a proper location. I personally prefer a random location with a wicked looking building such as Kazakhstan (which also helps with the Lobiesk problem mentioned in step 4).

7. DRAMZ. Yes, dramz or drama if you are not familiar with the proper term for it in the world of domination. Use dramz to your advantage! Infiltrate your enemy’s headquarters with dramz and watch them flounder. Simply by starting a few rumors you can make your enemies crumble from within!

8. FORM ALLIANCES! It is important to have the right people on your side….at least in the beginning. Forming alliances with the right people will help you gain power in a faster and more effective way. However, once you attain enough power to overshadow them you can break alliances if needed.

9. TRANSPORTATION! You cannot overlook the importance of an intimidating vehicle. You need something with killer looks, speed, and some fantastic gadgets. The batmobile is a good example of this.

10. HAVE A PET! Pets are crucial for a few reasons. One being that they’re cute. Another is the fact that they can distract your enemies with said cuteness. Many people who have tried to take over the world have had pets. Voldemort had Nagini. Dr. Evil had Mr. Biggleworth. Plus they are just good company! RQT adopted this method in their search for Quidditch domination by adopting a pet Kitty which apparently worked out quite well.

If you follow all of these steps you will be successful in your goal of world domination! You cannot take any of them for granted if you want to succeed. Especially number four which can destroy your plan in a matter of seconds and leave you with a sparkly world full of emo Taylor Swiftness and never ending cake. You have been warned.

Strange things happen when I'm left alone in the night

I just watched a coyote get it's ass whipped by an elk as they say here.

we have about 9 Elk that graze our far north pasture about 2 miles from where I live and they use a cover barn we have up there in the winter and we have three cameras around it and 1 inside

The coyote nosed into the barn and disturbed the lord in his harem and his majesty wasn't amused in the least.

The coyote may have escaped but he wasn't in the best of health when he did; a bull elk is about 500 pounds min. and they have bad attitudes

@RumikoOhara

Sounds like he picked the wrong one to mess with. :)

Finishing up my christmas shopping (and getting groceries). Will have Jae back in the game when I get home.

@Aeternum Where are yoooooouuuuuu?

I wouldn't go in that barn unless I had a rifle this time of year; as I said "Bad Attitude, 500+ pounds"

Okay @Rumikoohara & @Metronome I'm off to bed. Exhaustion is finally hitting me. I will be on in the morning. We don't get the little one til the afternoon sometime. I have so much left to do. There are Christmas tree parts everywhere and I need to re-clean my house and get the lights on the tree before Tiny tot get there. I'll catch you in the morning after I get some shuteye. Night guys!
