33) I wish I could make a bucket list.

Mike Resnick died. [/QUOTE

That name sounds familiar, who was Mike Resnick?

I am quit comfortable with the voices in my head.
My inner 6 yr old girl child walks up and says "He IS 'TOUCHING' ME!
I reach down and lift up on the hatch door in the floor. It opens revealing a stairway going down. "OK down Little Miss Bumble Sneakers."
Walking down the stairs I say "Stand still Laddy. How can you have any pudding if don't eat your meat."

I was in terrible car wreck in 2005 and broke my leg in two places. I had also torn the tissue lining my chest beneath the muscles loose from the jostling about. I was in some pretty extreme pain and they gave me a lot of morphine at the hospital. I fell in love with that stuff immediately.

I think it's like you are given a number of spell slots and the number is different for everybody. The more often you use your slots the closer you come to paying the Devil's due.

What about Keanu?

Betty could snuff him like a cheap cigarette!

Dizzy is not only a physical condition with me. It is a state of mind, an uncomfortable state of mind. It makes you doubt every step both physical and mental. I fall nearly every day sometimes it is because of vertigo but sometimes it is bad decision making. I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease since 1995. I have received the best care from University of Alabama At Birmingham both physical and psychological but even so I have had bouts of sorrow and despair when the Exit seemed the way to go. I am glad that I woke up in the hospital it was such a radical solution for a temporary emotion.

Not to be confused with SCREAMING BANSHEE that makes you lose control of your feet and you yell safety!
Safety-dance!
Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
And we can dance
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
And we can dance.
Dances!
Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am i
And we…

I had a nip tonight. Why do you ask?

AGED WIZARD, is that like Old Red Dragon that gives you roaring dragons breath the morning after.

"Have Dice, Will Travel." AAA' AAA' Calvin. I don't know if I am beautiful or not. My magic mirror seems to think so.

All the schools started on Monday here in Alabama. They had active shooter drills at Macadory High School last Friday. That is just a couple miles down the road. We live in interesting times.

Nothing like that new car smell is there? Keep oil, transmission fluid, and brake fluid topped off and a lot of your car problems will be headed off. Anytime you stay ahead of a problem it's a good thing it will save on hours of sitting on the side of the road waiting on a tow. Don't let it get to you, there will always be car trauma at the wrong time.
Have you named your car yet? They get kind of cantankerous when they think you don't love them.

What Happened to that Puppy? Do you think it run afoul of a Mammoth with a battleaxe. Do you think its' body went out for Scobbie snacks and could not find its' head? "ROT ROLL SHAGGY."

I went from not knowing what bezoars are to thinking I 've been suffering from them for years. The dragon kind if you must know.
Damn hypochondria.

I' m taking this moment to think of those who fought and died and those who fought and lived on D-day. I give thanks for them and their sacrifice.

I'm in as much pain or more than I was before the surgery so walking anywhere is very unpleasant to sometimes very difficult. That, and getting off some of the meds I'm taking, such as Abilify, which causes weight gain and no matter how much I walked before I either maintained the weight or gained more.

I would like a treadmill, but can't afford one. I think I'd be more prone to exercise with it because one of the things I fret about is falling while walking outside, either while walking the dogs or by myself. Between the knee and my weight, I'd not be able to get back up and would likely have to call EMS to come help me. The...

Well your not fielding your brothers' comments about looking like an elephant seal climbing a rock to survey his harem.

I am not sleepy. I want to be sleepy. I really would like to be sleepy. But I am not sleepy.

I guess I could cast a Sleep Spell It goes like this. "I was born in a small Indiana town... 30 minutes later...That is how come to live in Alabama." I knew that would work.

What of those movies that have so much going on artistically, but falls short in the story department or the acting was just over the top?

I loved "Hellboy" it had a unique vision, good story, and the acting was spot on. "Hellboy II The Golden Army" is a beautiful movie from top to bottom an eyecatching film, acting was passable, but it was short on story.

"Dune" was stunning artistically and the story was pure Frank Herbert. The acting was unredeemable even Patrick Stewart did not give a good performance.

Oi Vay! Today!

I swear I thought this was the longest week ever.
THEN, I realized it was TUESDAY!

>_<

We are all just time-travelers, living in this very moment and all too soon to be born into the next moment and the present has now passed into the past. We can only remember the past, we can only plan for the future, the only moment that matters is this one, what are you going to do.

Well she's still not allowed to lift stuff. But she does have her arm out of the sling for a couple times a day (for as long as she can). She's also no longer on any opioids. So that's good too.

Yeah I was concerned when the doctor gave her Oxycontin, but she went off that stuff with out too much trouble.

The bad news is now she has tasted Opioids. Tom, she has a weakness to them now. She will need to be watched from now on.

Less peeing is a good thing. Enjoy your night!

If it were not for peeing in the middle of the night I would not get any exercise at all.

Samurai Jack WAS awesome.

Even that shortened final season they made was good, just too rushed.

Samurai jack made people want to be Samurai again, instead of ninjas!
;P

Yeah, I dont know WHAT the heck is trying to take out my family from the inside. But it's getting old really quick. :P

I've done passed on ALL of the genes I plan on passing down. Thank you.
My oldest has already given me grandkids, and my youngest still has 3 more years left of High school.

I'm WAY too old to be waiting ANOTHER 18+ years before I can retire!
>_<

" Aman."

Sorry about the flu-bug Rags~ look on the bright side you are making the human herd stronger. That is if you pass on your genes. "I don't know anything about birthing any babies!"
Magehunter, I loved Samuri Jack. I have a high threshold for violence, so if violence is relevant to the story then it was ok. I was a murder-hobo from the days of Greyhawk.

TODAY IS BETTER DAY I am getting along. It is a relief and my father leads the way as he always did. Now I believe that our time limited to a short number of days. In those days we must pack a life with all the joys and sorrows; all the heartaches and triumphs; all the paths not taken and the journey that was traveled. Then we sleep.

Speaking of whom...

Dear Simian Literary Critic,

"He reads in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in his aspect and his eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o’er his face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!"

_by George Gordon Byron

***I grab all Calvin's toys including his backpack. Turn and run home screaming like 1-year-old shedding toys at 10-foot intervals for the two block it took to get home. Since the backpack was the only thing left I open it. Monkey Santa pops out. I bowed down to "Darth Wannabe" crooning like e-wok who has seen C3-P0.***
What is your will, my Master?

Hay I don't even like DungeonmasterCal.

I just kidding. LOL

where would be a good place to get some pdfs of old TSR material like dragons and some of the gaming stuff ["Top Secret" mainly] there was some good work in those pieces.

And tomorrow is my birthday! ;P

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY***Ragadolf***I:>

Does anyone remember a Saturday morning TV series during the early 70's they used the hot rods from "Damnation Alley?" The apocalyptic Winnebagos from hell that were driven by Jan Micheal Vincent and George Peppard. Series was filmed near Manson"ville" {Spahn Ranch} out in the Calfornia desert.
What was it called?

So today was definitely a near snow-meggedon here in Morgantown, WV. We got at least 6 inches in under 3 hours. Fortunately the schools had already called for 2 hour delay...and then fully canceled. Unfortunately for me, I still had to go see ONE client (the other two had texted me/emailed me not to worry and that one or more of their respective spouses would be home for dog care.) So while I enjoyed romping around with a puppy in the snow (And BOY does she romp!) it was less thrilling driving through near frozen slush and still falling snow and having some stupid guys in truck barrel past me at break neck speeds on roads I doubt Iceman could traverse.

But in any case, today is my day to sit inside and enjoy warmth until it all melts away by Monday.

Stupid global warming ruining my winter wonderland...

You got our snow from Tuesday night. All my best wishes go out to you. Everybody in Alabama was relieved that it passed us by. I guess it landed on you. SORRY.

"Balance of Terror" is so Great I think I saw it was in 1970 it didn't look dated then and now it doesn't look dated today.
"City on the Edge of Forever" is the same way. They are two of my five favorites of 0ST. The other series were all great for separate reasons, I have been a trek-key from WAY, WAY back.

thanks you ya'll for your prayers

Dogs are weird, man.

I have cats.

(Cats are also weird, but at least you don't have to walk them.)

Cats are so weird too!

So I got my dog a new toy last month. And, it being the season, the toy is a Monkey Santa.

Since then, I've been documenting the adventures of Monkey Santa. Among other things, he's posed for a portrait with the Dowager Doggess, he stole my phone and took a selfie, and most recently, he's gone over to the Dark Side of the Force.

I find this all WAY funnier that it probably merits. Filing under "Something Weird I Really Like."

The Dowager Doggess is an impressive looking beast quit noble. Is she a breed or a work of lucky circumstance. either way, I think she is beautiful.

it is a dungeon dudes night for me.

HERE IS A DOCUMENTARY ON ANTS

I have come to the conclusion that I a going to run D&D characters with skills and feats. The system is more intuitive and will use their monsters except for goblins. I like Pathfinders interpretation of goblins a lot better. I like the artwork& Design of Pathfinder more, but the system is clunky. The playtests are better with Proficiency system were everything calculated the same. The classes need some work though to capture the spirit of the game.
Both are deficient in helping the Pcs forming their characters.

Hey folks! It is Saturday night somewhere around 7:00 pm not a game to play!

On another note, I got 4 full-time players (my girlfriend and 3 reddit recruits) and 2 part-time players (from my PF group) to join my upcoming L5R game! SO PSYCHED! Cal knows I've been frustrated by my PF group's lack of willingness to try anything new, so to have wrangled two of them into this is awesome. Maybe they'll convince the others to try some new systems when we finish playing through our GM's heavily modded Kingmaker.

I have a few modules I found online for inspiration for the Legend of the Five Rings game, and a few campaign ideas I've had bouncing around for a while, but if anyone has any ideas for hooks, arcs, and other stories that's familiar with the setting, I'm willing to hear!

I am heavily invested in the Monte Cook universe in time and money. My brother is a Midevil kind of rogue on a frozen/ cold desert world, it was the landfill planet so they were all scavengers. He more or less quit to go to the beach

Sara Marie Jumped in there and I thought maybe D&D is a foul subject around here.

John, I going to check it out. I agree with qubblemuch, "the universe is wicked cool..."

I didn't mean to cause a sensation or get any one's ire up.

Well, let's talk a little about gaming. I picked up the D&D 5th edition so, I have been getting a feeling for the game again it is different than the original manuals. How are they different from Pathfinder? Do you really think one is better than the other?

Except that for Strawberry Rhubarb, what wouldn't you do?

I LOVE strawberry rhubarb pie!

BAAAA HUMBUG!!! Tis the season for cleaning up the messes that you made during the holiday season. Don't worry about going to the gym, get your work out by pushing a broom. It will impress the H#ll out of your significant other.

***Happy New Years*** from McCalla, Alabama.

Europeans sure have strange views about the US.

When I was in college (Trevecca Nazarene College in Nashville, TN) there was a foreign exchange student from Jamaica. He was so impressed with all the glitz and glamour of Nashville. That first term he said, "America is so much fun, so much to do, so much to see." It only took him till the end of the school year, "America what bunch materialistic money grubbers." He was soured and disillusioned with America and all its people. I felt like quoting Yoda, "This is my home it is."

Thank you and season's salutations.

Tobacco has that earthy smell like wet rusty iron and it had a tangy smell like dried peaches. I would spend all day hanging around my Dad's pipe-rack sniffing the tobacco jar. Dad would then light up a pipe and it would smell like burning trash, a smell that would scrunch up my face.

I going to change gears here. Can we talk about CLOWNS!!! With all due respect to Emmit Kelly and Red Skelton, all other clowns make me leary. A painted on face never shows its true emotions, this creeps me out. So clowns annoy me.

Merry Christmas, ya'll.
