Also, Walking Dead back on last night! WOOT!!!

Isn't that a collection of your family reunion videos? That guy shambling in the background? That's my uncle Mo, from Kentucky. That cute girl, gnawing on the mailroom? That's my cousin Debbie. She ate her husband so she's single.

Ok, so I put down the deposit on the new place on Friday, and move in on the second. I am sooo stoked to have my own space for the first time in, wow, over eleven years...

I'm stoked that things are looking up for you, HD. You dang well deserve some good things in your life. Cheers!

Morning all! Been awhile since I've been in here. What's new?

Fairy tales that will make you GRIMMace, soap operas that leave you feeling dirty, pigeons and ponies fighting for dominance, and assorted debauchery. Basically, the same old stuff. ;P

Uh, wait... This is crossbreed of Postmonster and Carebear? Halfcarepost? Halfpostcare? Half customer perhaps?

A Caremonster!!!!

Well, he will be requiring a lot of it for a good many years ... and Postbear sounds like a plug for a new USPS cartoony spokescritter

Just hope they pass on the 'Free Dirty Diaper in Every Order' promotion...

I heard that lawful marriage is now gay in CA.

Everyone's happy when they first get married...

Forum members, I turned 41 today. 364+ days more then I turn 42.

That is all.

Well, Happy Belated Birthday!

My GAWD I want a smoke! :S

....but Moorluck has been at work all day.....

I hope she didn't have to take a shower due to feeling our thread making her feel dirty...

Heck, we've been pretty good. Well, except for the recent Freehold luv session...:D

Hello everyone

Welcome!

Watch out for getting top of page. Nekkidness is required. Webcam is optional. ;P

On a bright note, Skeletons of Scarwall paper minis are up!

Huzzah.

Grats!

I fell last night running through the house because I thought my son was in trouble (turns out he couldn't find his train). Landed hard on my knees and hands and smashed my shoulder and head into a table. Sooooo sore today...

Ouch! Hope you recover quickly.

head bashing. Brains bleeding. The usual

Pecking. You forgot to mention all of the pecking.

Played a few hours of Champions last nite. Brain tired today, but a good kind of tired.

Beware the Dire Diapers! You take a penalty to your Fort save!

Many congratulations guys, fawesome news.

Hang on ... wasn’t Sara Marie still answering customer service emails like 24 hours ago? Wow, Paizo are harsh taskmasters. ;-)

Sara Marie is a machine! She was actually at work doing her customer service best mere hours before giving birth!

That beats my wife when our 2nd was born. 'I won't be into work today. I had a baby this morning. Guess I'm starting my maternity leave.'

2nd child was 3 weeks early. ;P

Congratulations on the new addition!

I swear I read "Congratulations on the new edition!".

Which feels oddly fitting too.

Congrats on the rugrat. Here's hoping to see a Rugrat entry in Bestiary IV.

You know, I actually thought about that just after I posted and reread what I wrote. It would fit.

Paizo is proud to announce Teter, 2nd edition!

Teter 2.0 :)

Here, sign this evicition notice for an orphanage. It'll make you feel better. Afterwards, we can swing by and tell the orphans "great news, you're all getting out of here." It makes the tears that much more potent when you reveal the truth...

Mmmmm...orphan tears.

He bathes in them as often as he can. They keep his coat shiny.

Haven't been able to keep up, but no worries on the surprise. Blown up realms still have possibilities.

Sadly, it doesn't look like I can join in things. I still have focus issues. They're better than they were, but I don't like the fatigue/stress that sets in when I try to juggle alts and stories. I've really fallen off of the wagon on that front. It took me an hour to write one page of narrative last week. Kept rewriting it, and getting frustrated with myself. Bleh. At least I can read again.

Well wishes on the doc visit, Dalesman. I've had a small murmur for years with no ill effects. Hopefully yours is the same.

Happy Birthday, to Sir William the Strong of Arm!

AZ here is hoping Charlie gets better soon.

Still recovering from Sunday and my broken heart. I have been avoiding anything sports related and will continue too do so probably until the end of the week.

How is everyone else?

Congradulations to the Teter Family on the new arrival.

Sorry about the broken heart. Speedy recovery!

I'm all, "It's not my birthday!" Derp.

I blame the cold/flu I'm fighting.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Dude! They named their 1st born after you. FAWESOME!

Now you have to send the little tyke a stuffed badgah. :)

Hopefully the baby wasn't born in full plate mail!

Congrats to you both! Enjoy every moment, tired or not. Those memories will bring you smiles for the rest of your lives.

My son just fell and loosened a tooth at daycare... sigh...poor guy.

Hopefully not too loose. *sympathies to the little guy*

Morning, all. What did I miss?

The Sam I Am class for Rhymes of the Times?

Somedays, it's a really good thing that weapons aren't allowed at work.

Lego Gollum

More like creepy pedofile Gollum. C'mere, my precious. *shiver*

It's hard to tell weather I enjoy the Fairy Tales or the Soap Opera Digest these days, AZ.

I usually find it easy to tell the weather, I just go outside.....

In my day it used to be my dog ate the homework. Now the spell checker gets the blame. ;P

Get off my clown!

Aberzombie's Really Grim Fairy Tales:

The Very Bored Boy

There once was a young lad named Hud. He was very bored, because he lived in a small village where nothing ever happened and everything was the same every day. Then one day, Hud was walking through the forest when he came to a clearing. Standing in the midst of this clearing was a cloaked and shadowy figure holding an ornately carved wooden box.

"If you take this box back to your village and open it", said the mysterious figure, "I promise you will never be bored again."

So, the boy took the box back to his village, and when he was in the town square he opened it. Smoke and mist issued forth from the open box, and from it emerged a small army of demons. The monsters dragged every person they could find back into the the box, there to be tormented for all eternity.

The end.

Moral of the story: Don't talk to strangers.

So last night was my second wedding anniversary. Seems like time goes by too fast :P

Grats!

My wife and I celebrate our 27th tomorrow! And yes, the time keeps speeding by. :)

I guess this means we will be celebrating nekkid.

That might scare more than a few of my coworkers. Maybe I should call off work.

Gnome, gnome on the range

and the FAWTL's get BBTH all day!

The only good gnome is a red gnome.

What a pain. Someone in Texas (<<..>>) got hold of my wife's credit card number last month. While not responsible for the charges it's staggering to see that they somehow duplicated the card itself.

What? I thought you'd appreciate the two dozen garden gnomes. They're in the mail, on their way to you now!

:)

Hope the hassle isn't too much. My parents' first online transaction got their credit card number stolen, and it took 10 years for them to try again after a scare like that.

No gnomes!

Despite the charges it was the company that contacted my wife to alert her. By mail, unfortunately. And my wife doesn't like to open mail from her cc company until right before pymnts are due. And not during the holidays because she's so busy. Luckily they froze the card automatically, until we made a pymnt. Then the charges started up again. Argh.

CC company's hometown - El Paso
Bogus charges - El Paso

Hmmm?

A ton of low-moderate value gas station purchases. Which is why I think they created a dup card so they could swipe and go without having to sign.

My partner's job search is becoming desperate. It's tough, because he's been out of work for a while now, and I think that may be hurting him. Ugh.

Sympathies, CH.

Was talking with a contractor out there last week, and he said it's been rough times in LA. He's hopeful it's turning a corner. Hope it does. And it's not just an election year bump. We need some good years to make up for these last several.

Thanks for all the kind words guys - it went over about a hundred times better than I expected it to. I guess the grapes were just sour enough to squash into vintage comedy!

Busy day today, with me working on the Mask of Death and my wife painting minis and trying her hand at sculpting. Pretty awesome schedule!

Nice.

BTW, if you ever get the top of a new page you have to get nekkid, and try to incorporate into your ToP post. It's a fun little game we play.

Unfortunately I have to call it a nite. A long week demands a long sleep. Hopefully we get the chance to kibitz.

Whats all this then?

Dude! Welcome!

Big fan of your work. :)

Also, hi everyone! I hope you are all doing OK.

Kristin, I'm glad to see that you and Kirk are trying to kick the habit. I watched as the things killed my mom, but she wasn't going to give them up. I wish you success in your attempt.

E7, I'm glad your daughter is doing so well in her musical pursuits! My son plans to study music in college (he graduates from HS in June), and he was excited to find out he got immediately selected for a festival put on by his #1 college choice.

Cool! Same age as my daughter.

Haley just got selected to perform in an area percussion ensemble. She's also considering trying out for the UofM Marching Band if she goes there this fall. Hurry Air Force! We needs to know about that ROTC scholarship!

Some of you may notice that I brag about my daughter's drumming skills every now and then. Here's a sample -

Buddy Rich's Channel One Suite

The big solo is about the 8 minute mark, but she has mini solos throughout the song. Enjoy!

Woah, she's awesome! And if anybody doubts that, I challenge them to spend a few minutes trying to play a drum set. It ain't easy. Congrats to her on a great performance.

Thanks, all. And that selection is 11 minutes long in total! The band director selected that one especially for Haley to get a chance to shine. It helped her turn one of the dark corners she wrestled with last spring.

Though she skipped out on Marching Band in the fall, she's happy to be back for Jazz and Symphonic. It seems that a number of her percusssionists really missed her leadership/skills. Too bad they weren't very supportive of her before, but it's a good life lesson for them all.

Good stuff. I bet she'd get a kick out of this. Be sure to pay attention at around 1:05 - after most of the solo is over.

Wow. What a trooper!

My daughter was grossed out by it though. Good job!

Wow. She's pretty damn awesome. You've a right to brag!

Thank you, sir. :)

<- Just lost all faith in humanity. Might not be posting or answering the phone for a few days.

Hang in there, Shiny. There are good people out there, hidden behind the azzhats. Taking some time away from the azzhats is a good thing, as long as it isn't so long that you miss finding the good.

Sunny and 75 in California, but I'm glad I head home in the morning. The lack of sleep from travel/time zones has killed me. Good thing I'm still in Cali. They can't chop up my body for firewood until all the proper paperwork is submitted through the DNR. I'll be gone before it is.

I forgot you were here! How was the trip?

Long day yesterday; 15 hours from the time I left home 'til I got to the hotel. Then poor sleep last nite. Today was easier paced, but I'm not sure what to recommend without knowing the growth target. I'll put together a program for each of the 5 options I guess.

Boss BS is alive and well, both here and back home. My boss gets wiggy when I'm gone. hehe

Weather has been beautiful. Thank you much!

Meh, we only got 2 inches and bitter cold. Zombies probably won't even come by.

I don't often share this type of stuff, but I could use some of those prayers and thoughts for our friend Tom who was hospitalized for a stroke, he's a good guy and his wife and he are close friends of Solnes'.

Will do.

I found out last night that 2 different bros-in-law had surgeries this week. They both got thru OK, but what's up with the secrets?
