Treppa, the sound of that worries me. are you ok ?Wow. Quiet night. Wonder what everyone's up to?Figuring out what few things are must-keeps and preparing to sell the rest.We will be. Selling everything I can to pay creditors, dumping the store, and starting over. Puffin and I will be heading to the northwest, where the job (and water) situations are much better than here.
Things could be worse. We have each other and the dogs and you guys. <3
I'm so sorry to hear this, Treppa. Would that you moved to the northeast. You might have started working on the con circuit and then I might have been able to see you when I started doing conventions. I hope that this move works out for you both, even if it takes you farther from me...
And every single Pathfinder 3.5 product except Hollow's Last Hope is in da HOUSE!!! Love the anniversary sale!

blasts some meatbags
Time for celebratory Wednesday pizza and Olde English cider.
Once I've chimed in with more regrets that the shop didn't work out for Treppa, and wishes things'll get better for you and the Studly Puffin from here on out.
Time for celebratory Wednesday pizza and Olde English cider.Huzzah! What are we celebrating?
It's still not Thursday, for one thing.
Unlike this time last year I actually have some money in the bank.
And I have Cuban rum!
Me? I just hid in the basement after arguing with my daughter about financial responsibility in college, and my wife about trying to take steps should I lose my job when our company moves next year. Apparently, I need to let my daughter 'live her own life' even after she needs me to sign on large loans for school, and not 'worry about the future' so much from my wife. Heading to bed grumpy.I feel your pain. It's easier to relax about the bills when someone else is cosigning.
I'm sorry E7. I understand that your daughter needs room to make her own mistakes in life, but not when it's at your financial behest, although i still have memories of the disgusting fight that I got into with my mom in college because she didn't want me to get my degree in creative writing because she "wasn't paying for that crap", even though it would have definitely lead to me getting a degree in education afterwards, which she still despairs I do not have- she always wanted me to be a teacher. I am completely in your corner regarding what to do regarding changes at work, that would keep me up at night too. I'm about to have it out with my supervisor today who almost ruined my vacation with her b$#@+ing. It's gotten to the point that even work I do when I'm ON VACATION isn't good enough- she wanted me to stay even later last Wednesday so I could have put things in her mailbox. But that's a story for another time...
I believe I have some road rage issues.
Just a few.
Personally, I think I'll just celebrate my boy. He's so cool.
No rum or cider for the boy, though. Pretty sure pre-teens can only have aquavit and Foster's.

Surprisingly, I have yet to give my boy a taste of beer. Maybe when he's three.....Personally, I think I'll just celebrate my boy. He's so cool.No rum or cider for the boy, though. Pretty sure pre-teens can only have aquavit and Foster's.
I have no problem with giving kids alcohol- instead of mystifying it for them, let them have a taste. My first taste of beer went poorly when I discovered it tasted nothing like the apple juice I thought it was. My dad just smirked and said something to the effect of "It tastes better when you're 21."

Yeah, E7. Sorry to hear about the problems. I asked my aunt to co-sign a loan for me once, and made sure to never miss a payment. That one got paid off a few years back.
As for planning ahead in case of work problems - I hear ya. With the gov't budget issues we've had the last few years, the DoD has been facing cutbacks. And there's always the threat of BRAC. So, my back up plan is Houston. I know several engineers in that area, and my younger brother is aware of a few more. Don't think either of us would have a problem if it came to finding something new.
Either way, positive waves E7.

I believe we had similar experiences in the first taste department.

I too hope that things finally work out better for the two of you. That kind of stuff sucks, but sometimes it is the only way to get back on your feet. We are here for you two.
My youngest brother's first taste of alcohol was when we were packing to travel home from a house-swap with a family in Bavaria. One of my parents had poured the last few centiliters from a bottle of gin into an empty coke-bottle, and my brother took a swig, thinking it was water. Yes, the result was indeed hilarious.
That was, incidentally, the same vacation he nearly threw up on what may have been the lead actor in Kommisar Rex (little help here, Aeglos, German police show which would have filmed at least one scene in the Englischer Garden around 1996 or 97?) after having been goaded into eating a package of salt by my other brother. He really had no luck with eating stuff that holiday.

Your childhood sound somewhat similar to my own with regard to the multiple brothers getting each other to do crazy stuff resulting in hilarity.
