Woohoo! Nekkid, but calmly waiting!
Going to the doctors with your kids can be scary... Positive thoughts and best wishes from the other end of the planet
Jude is feeling better and my wife seems to be as well, and I seem to have missed out on it.Sure, rub it in why don't you!
Jude was running in Target tonight and gave himself a nice lump on his head.It seems like Charlie's forehead is one big bruise these days. And he's getting ever more adventurous in his letting go of stuff while he's standing or walking.
Warning for you newer parents. Hopefully you never experience this. If you ever have to take a child to an emergency room for a big bump don't be surprised if you get questioned to be sure it's not abuse. Not pleasant when you're worried about your little one.
Speaking of Demi-liches, Just watched an episode of Tales of the Golden Monkey they had an Egyptian box that when they opened it they pulled out a skull with jewels in it. Only thought, "Demi-Lich? Was this on purpose?"

They will both start to 'Power Ranger' stuff soon. It's actually a pretty fun stage. :)
Quick update. Charlie's procedure went well. Tubes are in place and we're back home now. Tomorrow he can go back to daycare.
Outstanding! I hope you're all feeling better today.
I HAVE FOUND MY DREAM JOB!
Position Available Immediately:
Apprentice Sith Lord,
Dark Side Consulting Group.
The Dark Side Consulting Group has a sudden opening for an Apprentice Sith Lord. The ideal candidate for this position would enjoy extensive galactic travel and possess an understanding and competence with the Force, or at least posses rudimentary Force skills and demonstrate a willingness to let their hatred flow through them.
Responsibilities include:
* Performing competitive intelligence
* Hands-on involvement in support of the Sith Master's planning initiatives
* Willingness to travel the galaxy widely
* Operation a variety of laser-powered hand weapons
* Piloting various high-powered space/air vehicles.
* Slaying of enemies of the Dark Side
Qualified applicants would possess excellent communications skills (especially when speaking in menacing whispers) and would be action-oriented individuals and risk takers. 99% travel is required. A background in The Force (light side or dark) is desirable. Any advanced degrees or significant course work in the Jedi Arts from the University of Coruscant would be a plus.
Applicants should also be familiar with holographic projection equipment, possess a valid galactic pilot's license, and show a willingness to give in to their hate. A proven track record of using fear and/or Jedi mind tricks to control others is desirable, as is the ability to speak several galactic languages. Ideal candidates for this position would have no children or other living relatives who are strong in the ways of the Force (a new hire would be given several weeks to meet this requirement). Working knowledge of Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 is also required.
Compensation for this position is commensurate with experience, and is extremely competitive for this field. Benefits include a generous severance package, a company starship, and a dark-colored clothing allowance. The Apprentice Sith Lord reports to and works closely with the Sith Master, and experience in such small, team-based organizations is vital to the success of the Master's plans. Discretion is also highly valued, as is the ability to see the future before it happens.
Interested applicants should submit their resume via The Force to The Emperor.

My old army buddy Tim and his wife Julie played Pathfinder for the first time Saturday, and it was awesome!!! :)

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Dr. Tom finished his morning round of procedures at the surgical center, only to realize much later that he wasn't sure where he left his watch and wedding ring. Meanwhile, Charlie's unexpected reaction to anesthesia left his parent's with a hospital bill that included costs for furniture, a computer, casts for broken bones, and at least one straight jacket. And, across town, Scott and Sarah were relieved when....No, wait! That's my soap opera!
Huzzah! On feeling better. The work thing? Not so huzzah, but it pays the bills.

Seconded.Holy crap someone mailed me an actual banhammer!!Pics or it didn't happen.
I brought it in to work today, slung across my shoulder. Felt good, like a masterwork tool should. It's a tool, you know, not a weapon. You don't just flail about in battle, it's meant to be used carefully, with precision, after much careful consideration.*
Pics will have to wait because Sara is sleeping and I depend on her to post pics to the intarwebs. (The only way I know how to put stuff up is to write a bunch of code and put it on paizo.com....)
*We really do have an extensive internal discussion every time we have to use it.
Fairydown, or, more proof Australian English is a separate language.Wow no Australian would speak like that...... Not even to mess with a tourist. The syntax is wrong, the whole thing smells of your typical English "journalist" throwing a few sentences together after watching crocodile Dundee and the Adventures of Barry Mckenzie. Half the words haven't been in use since the 1970's.
Well, I don't think it was meant to be taken serious.

Also, Charlie get's his tubes put in his ears tomorrow. We have to be at the doctor's office by 0710. Ugh. Hope I'm feeling better by then.I hope you feel better, and that the tubes drastically reduce the number of ear infections Charlie gets.
Just wanted to swing by and congratulate Taig again on a job well done with the Phasic Ravager. You really stepped up your game this round - keep it up.
Gary got a PHYSICAL hammer to accompany his metaphysical one? What is the world coming too!?!?!

So much for pics of Gary smashing someone's walnuts.....
Be sure that no one else is handling your hammer without your permission, or at least until after they've bought you a few drinks. ;D

Interesting - a karmic lesson... After telling somebody that the rest of the world couldn't tell and doesn't care about regional variations in accent outside the main ones, I am slightly miffed about a Pom using 30 year old slang in an article.
I now understand the annoyance the other person experienced and shall eat a teaspoon of cement and harden the f~%@ up.

Pomegranate!
Pomarj!
Pomegranate!
Pom is a a half joking half derogatory term Australians (and Kiwis) use to denote the English ( not the Scots, Welsh or Irish) kind of like Limey but worse and yet not as bad.
Nobody knows it's origin - pomegranate is thought to be one as its the colour they go in the Australian sun. It has also been suggested that it comes from the shortening of the French word for potato a pallid round ugly thing that lives in dirt and mud. Also Prisoner Of (his/her) Magesty and so on...
We know it annoys them and the English deserve to be annoyed.
Don't get us wrong though if ever England is in trouble we are the first to help.
So you call us Americans, Americans then.
That's just weird.
That's just weird.
Is it?
yes
So you call us Americans, Americans then.
Mostly Yanks very few Australians are aware of the north-south issues or history so when they call somebody from the South a Yank its not done to be a total a-hat (just a regular a-hat)
Deserve to annoyed? Is this another Australian word with a different meaning like "be complimented for being the greatest contributor to civilization?" ;-)

This from the people who left the empire, fought an unnecessary war with the english, changed the spelling of words, stopped playing cricket and turned up late to two world wars :-) and supplanted them as the most powerful nation in the world. We pale in comparison at your ability to annoy the English. :-)
You are the master and we are but the students.
