I recently discovered that the white part of my family is Scottish, not Irish. Should I start doing things differently?

Supposedly, one binge drinks while the other stays comfortably intoxicated most of the time. Which is which, I can't remember.

Twas an amazing film.

The Human Centipede? I haven't seen it and don't really plan to. A colleague of mine at work saw it and found it pretty 'meh'.

Didn't see it; it just sounds like something a fourth grader thought up. It's too goofy to be scary..

You must know some f#%~ed up fourth graders.

Maybe career 4th graders?

My partner did not get the teaching job. Here's hoping that the new job for me comes through. It would be a lot more money, and better work.

Good luck with your job search, CH. Sorry to hear that your partner's job opportunity fell through.

Plus I successfully fought off my boss' passive-aggressive attempt to have me limit my LA trip to 2 days and take the red eye home. (So I could come into work the next day with 4 hours sleep, since 'I could sleep on the flight home'. Bleh.)

Speaking of meetings: Does anyone else have a problem with them growing exponentially in both size and scope?

Want to feel important? Have a meeting!

Do I need to come to LA to wish you well in person? Well, I will. Tuesday to be precise. So there. Good luck. Warm up the beaches for me.

What are you coming this way for? It's been chilly, but I'll work on those beaches.

And thanks for the well wishes!

No prob. Be confident. But not too confident. Add a little excitement. They like that.

Business. Scope some real estate. Just for a couple of days tho.

Spent a good portion of last night migrating files from my old PC to the new one. Ugh, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Thinking about installing MalwareBytes again. Does anyone know if it slows down your computer like AVG Free does?

Cleaning my bsmt, to get the home office in order - UGH. Finding Dragon #102 and #103 - 1987 FAWESOME. Must read the Gygax article on gaming style, and the Future of AD&D article.

*does nekkid wood dance* ;P

I like country babes. Swedish, Italian, Australian, doesn't matter which country.

Especially if they're nekkid! Woot!

Naah, in that case, i'd be on my iphone posting here and and FB. :)

Posting crap?

Hope everyone has a FAWESOME 2012!

Thanks Moth and DA. *sigh* and as an anniversary present the polititrolls take turns dropping turds on the 'books I am reading' thread. Vunderbar.

Maybe I should post that I'm reading Green Eggs and Ham?

Treppa, I hope you feel better soon.

And happy birthday to Arden who is apparently very excited to be seven years old. :)

I have build my own gaming table this summer, it has lighted book-cases, dice-drawers, electricity for the laptops and a glass-plate for back-projecting maps (still untested)

one day I will make photo bucket account and post pics

Got pics yet?

yes, I got

that's awesome! Does he still tape in ny?

You didn't see the tons of commercials a year or so ago showing driving across the country to his new digs in LA?

With Joss Whedon riding shotgun and the both of them singing Beach Boys songs?

Things have worsened considerably; he's not expected to make it. I hope, fervently, that he'll pull through somehow, but everything I've heard suggests that the worst will happen soon. He started feeling bad a few weeks ago, and checked into the hospital less than a week before Xmas; was diagnosed on the 22nd. And now this. It's too fast.

Sympathies, Jeff. Prayers for your dad, you, and your family.

Last day of work before the Christmas holiday for me. Travelling to WI tomorrow and then back on Monday. Also Mona is in town so I will have to keep encouraging him to let me take him out for a burger. :)

You mean White Castle, correct? Since they're not exactly burgers....

Now we know what to get Solnes for Christmas -

He's blessed. He'll say so. He thanks God every play.

FIFY

Oh, I didn't realize I wasn't alone anymore. How's tricks E7?

Oops, missed ya. Ticks are tricksy. Tricksy hobbitses.

Also tried to go Christmas shopping at the mall....that didn't work. Didn't buy a single present. I'm starting to think that getting gift cards for everyone would be an awesome idea. And the kidlet totally meted down. Couldn't handle the crowds at all. The noise and lights and lack of space were just too much for him. But I'm super duper proud of him because even though he was totally overwhelmed and basically hiding wherever he could find a safish spot, he didn't throw a tantrum. That's a first.

Thanks for the grats, and grats to your boy!

2nd good news of the day -

My daughter just got her acceptance notice from the University of Michigan. She's on Cloud 9. Me? I'm ratcheting thru options on how to pay for it. Hopefully her Air force ROTC scholarship comes thru. Then we'll just have to worry about room and board.

Still, a happy day. :)

Apparently some guy who is suspected of murder just escaped police custody a couple miles from our house.

Ugh. Hopefully they'll catch him quickly.

Mom is fine! They found a couple small reasons that there was bleeding but they had already stopped on their own. She's to be released tomorrow!

Thanks all for the support. I was a nervous old tree yesterday.

Smite Parent is only useable once per day. You just have to be faster than Solnes. ;P

Apparently nekkidness is a defense too. :D

Bless her heart. You guys live in the same part of the country?

Yep. I'm the youngest of 7, and we all live within 45 mins of each other. Some of the next generation have spread out some, but not my siblings and I.

People want to visit my mom but she doesn't want us to, because the prep for the procedure isn't too pleasant or modest. Dang hospital gowns and their open backs. Heh She sounds tired, but good.

Thanks all.

Just got off the phone with my mom. Though miserable, she can still get her Irish up. Hehe, gotta luv it. Plus at her age she doesn't hold back. ~Why don't they have small size dressing gowns? It's too dang noisy, etc. Hehe

Like the 7th Son as well, but here's another...

FAWTL's Seventh Deadly Sin

I hear Gary thinks there shouldn't be any more FaWtL threads...

That's mean. That's downright mean.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Life is entirely too hard on you friend. May fortune favor you.

Thanks. Actually, I'm a lot better off than a lot of people. I just grouse more than my fair share, and don't take stock of the good things as much as I should.

I'm working, I have a mostly good family life, and a lot of friends that are just as nutty as me. :D

YES, I mean you all!

UPDATE: They're doing a colonoscopy and upper GI on my mom tomorrow, so the bleed looks internal. The good news is that the bleed is small, and her hemoglobin level is on par with her last doc appt. (slightly anemic)

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Ugh on the family colds.

Yay on math!

Positive thoughts on the pending grade. :)

Done. And I hope they are able to easily find the cause.

Thanks. I'm not posting on FB, as I don't want distant relatives worrying in case it's minor. People have so much on their plates these days.

You feeling any better?
