Just wait. Sitting around a table with your friends when they're not wearing masks is an utterly bizarre feeling. You kind of feel pantsless.

The day you felt bizarre while pants less must have been memorable for you. For me, it was Tuesday.

This is a great place for advice!

I'm just curious, not a lot of other people here play 2nd edition and no one else in my family will touch it or have heard of it, so I like to see what other people think of it.

2e isn't too bad mechanically, but it had some weird rules, like certain races couldn't play certain classes. A lot of people make fun of THAC0, but it's just...like reverse AC. There's a few good retro clone RPs that utilize it. It's not as crunchy as 3e or PF, but it's pretty up there IIRC.

Oh, wait. You mean 2e PF.

Um.

No idea.

They're pretty much the same thing.

And yeah, as expected, you've gotta love banks and their whole, "Hurry up and get all this done so we can get you your loan," approach to the universe.

Once we realized we'd be better off expanding the HELOC to eliminate all our other debt as well as paying for all our planned repairs, we contacted the bank. Cue a flurry of multiple requests a day: "Please do this. Please provide that. Please sign the other thing."
They honestly acted like this was some incredibly urgent thing that needed to be finished ASAP.

So yeah, we finished all the paperwork last Friday and haven't heard a peep since. And the paperwork we signed says that the closing date for the refi is February 10.

So... you are all eager and urgent and nutso for something that's not going to go through for at least a month.

Er... whatever...

Today I got a call from my bank asking if I would be interested in a credit offer. Ehh, nope. At least the caller showed a proper response to decisive "no" immediately and didn't press the issue.

I did not covered the topic of sheer idiocy of calling with an offer of credit to someone who doesn't have a steady source of income, and within the last year had maybe, maybe single positive transfer to his account (as opposed to regular direct payments for internet coming out of the account). Wouldn't that be a hint that he's not a suitable material for a credit-taker?

Oh, just own a house in the Bay Area. With house prices rising at 15%+ per year, the banks are all really interested in getting you to turn ALL of your home equity into liquid cash so the moment you lose your job they get your house.

It is evil profit-mongering at its worst.

And the banker was openly surprised to find out that even with my new loan my debt balance is under 50% of the value of the house. I'm one of those weirdos who's actually, y'know, going to PAY OFF his house and own it outright! What a concept! How un-American! :-O

I'll wait until after the Sparkly Emotionally Charged Teenage Zombie Vampire Apepocalypse before I start building my real estate empire.

Are we there yet?

I'm calling this my UnSnow Day.

It was supposed to snow, it didn't, so I'm not doing shit, for the first time in six weeks.

Oh man, you are screwed! Mysellllllllfooey don't like being taunted.

Hides in a bunker, steeling himself for the destructive potential that an angry mysellllllllfooey is sure to cause.

If you think you can do better, by all means, give it a try.

Sentient moss you say! Will I trip if I lick it?

I think I'll just clean up a little bit on my side of the bed...

Three hours later.

Damn rabbit holes!!

I read a story the other day about how people on marijuana had more sex and my first thought was "I can't let the hippies win!" I then went on to read they averaged 6 times in a week, so needless to say my competitive nature took over and I sought to top that.

It wasn't until day four or five (honestly I lost track) I decided to revisit the article and found out it was 6 times in four weeks.

But, by then it was too late to go back on the challenge.

So, take that you stupid hippies!

But wouldn't you rather have the milkweed we propagated especially for monarch butterflies.

Monarch butterflies are also doing quite well this year by the way, which is a good thing. :-)

How, when, and why did this thread stop being about trying to get Kileanna and/or her aliases to wear skimpy clothing?

It became obvious that's her default clothing style. :-)

and bless her for it.

Absolutely! Comfort is very important.

Well, with everyone missing and clearly deep into their winter funk, looks like I'm taking over!

puts out sign saying "Welcome to HappyFunYesterdayTown, Home of the Flaming Bike Artillery and probably The Flaming Lips. And Bob, can't forget about Bob!"

I've found that if I keep myself two feet above the floor I don't feel the cold.

Now, do I get everyone stilts or make them learn how to levitate...

picks Lucky up, brushes him off.

Chin up man! There's more fish in the sea.

And then after you make dinner go out and meet new people.

Ha! Gonna get up in the mid sixties here.

Flips off winter.

Not this week old friend, not this week.

I haven't found my keys yet, but I found ten bucks. :-)

If you got a problem, you talk to this guy, I'm the one with the Powerpuff Girls signal.

... what's that... anyone can flag a post... are you sure?... really! Then why am I wearing a top hat and monocle... you don't know either...

Okay this seems to be a MAYOR problem.

But which mayor?

In any event, expect this to be a problem until normal business hours tomorrow.

Which mayor indeed...

And people, we need more people.

I got married wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Does that make me Mayor of Chill.
