In other news, my genealogically-inclined family has dug up some more dirt on some of our relatives. I got this e-mail message today:

Your grandfather got to thinking about your comment about Typhoid Mary Mallon. It occurred to him that there is at least one more infamous Mallon – a Kevin Mallon – who took part in the first successful helicopter prison break over in Ireland several years ago. Makes my heart swell with pride!

I had to dig further, and found the following information:

In 1971, IRA operatives Kevin Mallon and J.B. O'Hagan, as well as IRA Chief of Staff Seamus Twomey were incarcerated at Mountjoy Prison under suspicion of terrorism. Two years later, a group of IRA operatives (accompanied by an unknown man, possibly an American CIA agent) stole a helicopter and broke them out. After the breakout from Mountjoy, Kevin Mallon was arrested, imprisoned, and escaped at least two more times from two different prisons. A band called The Wolfe Tones wrote a song about the incident in 1973.

So, along with mad scientists, mobsters, mythical demon-blooded giants, prehistoric Irish cave-dwellers, rebels, and passive disease carriers, my lineage now includes terrorists. Positively Lovecraftian, that.

Nice. I do the research on my family history. Had a relative show up in the 1870 prison records from WV State Pen. Never looked up why. Had another that was in Buffalo Bill's Traveling Show, and yet another branch snipped off too early when a young married couple was heading west and killed by a drunken indian.

Family members are always looking for rich, famous, or notorious relatives.

My thoughts and prayers as well. God bless.

Off to take a test. Was up until three last night studying. Here's hoping it was worth the lack of sleep.

Good luck! Break a pencil, or something.

Evil thoughts directed towards my boss. ARRGGHHHH!

I hate being chastised because she didn't communicate something by a deadline ON HER PROJECT! If you want me to get something done, simply tell me and I'll get it done. But don't berate me when you screw up. Kinda diminishes my desire to try to help fix it. /rant off

Hey guys, the family i told you about that lost the husband / stepdad suddenly to a heart attack lost their mother in law / grandmother just last week. And I found out the older sister, who had kidney cancer and surgery a year ago just found out on her follow up visit that there are two more spots on her lungs today. That's a lot to take in for anyone. :( Thoughts and prayers for her would be greatly appreciated.

Done, and will continue.

He wouldn't dare, we'd sign him up for gerbil of the month club. The address to paizo is on the website.

We would have to send the duck tape separately.

This is a pet peeve of mine.

It is duct tape. For sealing ducts.

No pet peeves. We're weighing gerbils vs puppies vs. glow-in-the-dark kittens. Guess which one is in the lead?

Neither! We'd be able to get a new totally awesome kitty just for Paizo!

But where do they sell purple kitties? ;P

We just have to find a way to get one of those glow in the dark kitties.

Then they could write it off as a security device! Brilliant!

They could name it Wisp.

Indigestion - a trade good, such as metal ore and foodstuffs

Well, the wife took the boy to the doctor's office today about his continued fever/snotty nose/craptasticness. He has RSV and an ear infection.

So, antibiotics for the ear, and breathing treatments for the RSV.

Oh joy.

Hopefully the breathing treatments don't cause too much hyperactivity, and it will simply be caused by him feeling better.

Maybe Puffin has two, and she has one.

Looks like San Antonio is in January. Guess I better pay attention to this Christmas thing.

I have no frakkin' idea what to get for my wife. Methinks I spoil her too much throughout the year if she doesn't want anything for Christmas.

Or, the Puppy of the Month Club. The gift that keeps on giving!

That'd be a FAWESOME way to show our 'appreciation'!

Howdy FAWTLy Folk. Stayed home with the still sick Charlie today. Poor fella just can't seem to shake this cold of his. His fever keeps going up and down like a yo-yo.

Ugh. Much sympathy.

Same here

Branches crossed. We love our rescue husky.

Woke up this morning to all three kids having trashed our living room, toys, cereal on the floor, the works. Oh, and the little one running around sans clothing... and I still love being Dad.

So, I just got an offer to work from home at my current job! I would have to make the commute to Atlanta occasionally, but, otherwise, I'd be working from home.

I wish I would have been offered this earlier, but it's a very good offer.

What do you guys think?

If you have the discipline for it - I think it's awesome. I have a few friends working IT from home (one for The Hartford and the other for Amazon) and they both absolutely love it.

Thanks. When I mentioned it to my wife, she wasn't really happy with the timing (I agree, since I already basically set up the apartment in Charlotte).

Tell her you'll do housework on your breaks!

*click*

Ouch! Watch where you're pointing that thing!

Afternoon all.

RL has been busy this week. Sounds like everyone is hopping on things, good and bad.

Actually glad that work has gotten a bit busy, tho I fear it will be shortlived.

I just cut one so nasty I wonder if something's wrong with me.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Farts are natural.
Nature is beautiful.
Therefore, farts are beautiful.

Unless, of course, it was one of those unnatural ones....

I love my wife and family can always count on them to cheer me up when I am feeling down. Feeling older today being my birthday they are not like they used to be.

Happy belated birthday!

Oddly enough, I have never dressed as a zombie for Halloween.

Well, duh.

On Halloween you're supposed to dress differently than the rest of the year. :)

I just made homemade chili the other day. It spent about 8 hours in the crock pot and it was perfect.

Made a batch Sunday. Half went to the MNF party at my friend's house. My sons are attacking the rest with zeal. Better get myself a bowl soon.

Man, what a busy week. How are you all?

Question for the group - What is the proper form of address for a female Lt. Colonel in the Air Force? M'am?

My daughter's ROTC interview is tomorrow. Thanks.

Yep, "Ma'am" is the correct form of address. "Colonel <lastname>" is also acceptable.

Good luck to your daughter!

Thanks!

Barry Manilow is not weirdo music! Well, OK. Maybe it is.

Not until I'm in the house I plan on dying in.

Watch out for CJ then. I hear he walks around with a shovel.

I have no idea what shovels represent in dreams. I had lots of dreams that I could glide like a kite when I was a kid, though, which sounds like the riding a broom thing a little. Flying high would get scary in the dreams too...because I'd have to land, and if I got too high...ugh. I generally wasn't being chased by wild animals, though.

I used to have lots of dreams about my teeth and cracking into pieces or falling out of my mouth. Those dreams were not cool. ::shudders::

I also had a lot of dreams where I was a murderer or a suspected murderer and running from the police. The dreams were always about running from the police, not about the murder. ONce I woke up and panicked because I was at home and the cops were obviously going to catch me there. Took me a while to settle after that one.

as a little kid I often dreamed about a giant fox chacing me, I blame a very horrible picture book about a fox catching young goose

as a teen these dreams changed to werewolves

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what my dream meant...

Well I think the wild animals comes from all of the critters let out from that guy who committed suicide. It was along a highway and lions and tigers and such were eating each other but decided I looked tastier. But a shovel?? man I needed more sleep.

Shoveling/dealing with too much BS in your waking hours? ;P

So I am spending my day off continuing to organize my gaming room and minis collection. Wish me luck.

Good Luck!

My daughter is making progress towards becoming a wolverine. She says they can kick badgers' asses. ;P

I love wolverines and they can kick badgers asses.

In all seriousness is she going to or trying to get into Michigan?

Yep. The ROTC program is the only way to afford it without huge student loans.

You made my stomach growl. Now I must get some breakfast.

Are any of you familiar with the college ROTC programs? My daughter is interested in the Air Force and has an interview with a Lt. Colonel next week at UofM.

Any tips? Any warnings? Any advice in general?

Is this the real life?

Or is this just fantasy?

Yes
