marshmallows are a definite must!
that reminds me. my 8th grade science class was bothering me to make edible atoms in chemistry lab last week so I had them assemble marshmallow Sodium Chloride molecules (one jumbo marshmallow, one regular marshmallow, one toothpick) and stack them to show the crystalline structure of an ionic compound. it was pretty entertaining and REALLY messy...
Even after all the handling they still wanted to eat recycled marshmallows.

I might take a day off or two. After I got mugged friday night I feel tense and have trouble clearing my thoughts.
Nothing to worry about, but I think I should take a break, talk to some friends and get a bit of fresh air.
Should I come back posting before tuesday, I probably came around sooner and better then expected ;-)
Ciao!

Hey Fey, don't let it get in your head. Take your time off. Sorry to hear that happened to you, but you are okay and not in the hospital or grave so that is what matters. If you need to talk to someone about what happened, be sure to do it. They make sure we seek out assistance in Army here after any traumatic experience. It can be hard to ask, but trust me it helps.

Thank you guys. I have been through this before and I am pretty confident I will manage, I just feel like I am not through this, yet and I don't feel like posting IC right now (meaning I will probably don't be of the boards at large but rather take a - hopefully miniscule - break from the two games I am in. If I feel it will be more then one or two days I will drop in again so DMZ knows he must continue for a while without me, but I hope that won#t be necessary.)

You got mugged?
You mean the gas station got mugged again or you personally???
Me, personally. Left a bar, got hit at the temple, got hit again, things turn nebulous. Two guys, possibly a third, probably all drunk. Lost money, phone and watch (and my good mood) :-|

Is the Knights book worth picking up?
I liked it, but then I almost never look for the new crunch in these books. If you want to learn more about the (already known) knightly orders of Golarion, knightly vows and such it is a good buy (although I admit some of the smaller texts felt a bit superfluous - but they might be more helpful for someone who hasn't been gaming for half his life. I really like the art in the book, too.

Didn't you hear? Münster has one of the highest crime rates for a city it's size (O.K. more then 80% of those crimes are bicicle thefts - I so wish I would make this up - dropping the crime rate excluding those well below average - but still, some crimes per year remain, so I got lucky :-|
Sadly Münster is no longer almost devoid of violent crimes, we had a fair share of muggings, assaults and worse the last couple of years.
Guess I am lucky nothing worse happened, but I still need a while to feel that way.

That sucks Fey.
Make sure you go have a chat to get it off your chest, nothing worse than feelings of pent up outrage, which can also lead to feelings of depression and sadness. A good debrief is a totally worthwhile exercise.
It's a shame about losing your things, it's good that you weren't too injured though.

I fail to see much difference between the legal system in Illinois and that in Cheliax. They are both run by a combination of blood sucking devils and those who have sold their souls. The primary goal is to inflict the maximum about of pain on all who appear before them as long as it is within the "rules".
To put it another way, those with money can pretty much do what they want and nobody gives a damn how it hurts the little people. Occasionally someone get a grand slam result, but these are just to allow corporate america to b~@+~ and moan about the need for "tort reform". But for every one big winner, there are a thousand people getting screwed by big corporations, the "judicial" system, and their pupet masters, the insurance industry.

The rain is coming down, but the issue is going to be the wind. When Hurricane Sandy arrives tomorrow it could be between 60 - 80 mph winds. I am not sure what that will be like, but I do know that school is already cancelled and we are ready with flashlights, water, and propane gas for the camp stove in case the electricity goes out.

Some people's kids.
Sorry to hear that happened to you Feytharn.
<awkward embrace that lasts a bit too long and would perfectly fit into a scene from Arrested Development>

I was reading about a lady (think it was in Toronto) that was killed by a sign due to the intense winds.
Dodge, duck, dip, dart and dodge.
Freaky weather stuff going on right now, not to mention the 7.7 earthquake off the coast of BC.

I have a very serious, very strange question for all of you. Do any of you own, or know someone who owns a full Storm Trooper's uniform (complete with tights and all) who would be willing to pretend to clean a swimming pool while wearing said uniform, with someone lounging in the background, wearing a swimming suit and drinking a cocktail? I need a picture of that for my scavenger hunt, and it needs to be original never posted anywhere else, unaltered etc. After the hunt is over it can be posted elsewhere but not before.

I would guess, the loacal CEO has one, but I don't know about the second part...

Cosplay Rayden!
My character wears a lot of keys, even when we have "virtual armor" due to storms and whatnot. The owner keeps telling me if I ever get struck by lightning he'll turn my big key necklace into a magic item.
Stay safe, DragonBlood. That means no LARPING in the storm. I mean it.
Sadly the Vandlar Larp season is done for the year. No more fun for me until February.
