All good!

Just doing my best to keep up at this point. :P

That my friend is a compliment I appreciate more than you could ever realize.

=)

ROFLMAO!!!

Luv Eet All! :D

Top of the page.

Oh. THERE it is! <facepalm>

Well,... THAT was fun!
But time for Sterling to go back into 'Goth/Stoic' mode for a bit. :P
:D

Still feeling out his 'voice', but realized that his mood swings are perfectly in line with what I'm thinking, his background, and my influences for the part.

SO far he's One part Goth, One part Wednesday Addams, One part Ghostbuster,...

I can't wait to see what comes next! ;P

Once the new people leave, Cole slaps his face with his open hand and waves his sword in the general direction they traveled.

”Oh gods…That idiot thinks this was the smart thing to done !”

No. No he did not. ;P

:D

Teofila is shocked that Sterling volunteers. She never imagined she would see him volunteer for anything.

That makes you and him both! :D

Sadly, Sterling agrees with you! :D

Besides, it IS kind of in his job description. :P

Casting thread resurrection now!

Auto-crit success?

"IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!"

Ugh, get better quick(er) Shadow!

Sorry to hear your under the weather Shadow.
Hope you recover quickly, and catch up on your work quicker!

Eesh, I am too old for that working overnight nonsense anymore.

I never got paid enough for that anyway.
(I DID it, but I wasnt paid enough) :P

Just glanced at Blayze's Character sheet, I think she may get more bonuses than her basic listed? (I already adjusted for her level to make that correct)

She has other bonuses & abilities I'll have to research. For next time. ;)

Annnnnnd,... ACTION! :D

(and welcome back, you busy-beaver you!) ;)

Warm water at the beach? Sounds great to me!
Glad it was restful. (Not enough of that in my life recently!) :P

NOW, YES! Let's carve some monsters into Chicken Nuggies!

(Anime-"Delicious in Dungeon" anyone?!?) :D

Apologies for any slow posting or sudden silences,

(Weird, Aged wizzie NOT talking or typing?!? What apocalypse is this?!?!?)
:P

RL is being, ... a PITA.
(AKA= Business as usual I guess.)

Thank you, that is all. :)

Back from vacation

I hope you had an awesome time.

I second this hope! :)

Apologies for slow posting,

Just spent the last 3 days traveling back and forth to New Orleans (A 4 hour round trip) to empty and clean my Father-in-Laws' house.

I'm tired. AND still catching up on work and bills and,...

yeah. Sorry for slow posting. :P

Thanks man…but take 1 pt of fire damage touching me. You gotta stop doing that.

You are correct sir!

Good luck! And swift recovery!

And I second Sergei/Doomed Hero's comment.
Milk the recovery for all it's worth! (You deserve it!) :)

Hmm,...
Either way,...
O_o

;P

Cole…well? A~#+!#~ acknowledges a+&#~*#…

ROFLMAO!

It's funny because it's true! :)

If Teofila is being mean to you it means she likes you well enough.

And Sterling knows it. And it is reciprocated.

Although he'd likely never admit it. Not too loudly anyway.

I really enjoy your willingness to let Sterling be the butt of a joke. It's fun.

Well, sometimes you write the jokes, and sometimes the jokes write themselves!

And, "In Russia, Jokes write you!"
(In Russia jokes laugh at you?!? Meh. There's another funny in there. Somewhere.)
:P

ROFL,

Sterling really wants to be angry, or at least offended, right now.

Me? I'm just glad my quick explanation of how an armorless cleric failed a stealth roll can provide so much In-Game verbal banter-fodder and entertainment! :D

Keep up the good work!

AND the aged wizzie returns. Again. ;P

Time to play catch up on the posts!

Oh yeah, Happy Post-250th to all!

Sheesh, I remember the 200th when I was in grade school. I did some math, and thought, 'When the 250th comes, I'll be really old!'. ;P

(SOmetimes, i hate being right!) >_<

All good Online Amigo. All good.

it has been an,... INTERESTING,... year for everyone I think. ;P

Hang in there! :D

No worries my online amigo.
<Edited for brevity. Long -winded wizzie was in full form again> ;P

Life has been practicing it's curve balls recently.
A LOT of practice.

Hang in there! We'll wait! :)

Happy post-250th to all!

Sheesh, I remember the 200th back in grade school, doing math and thinking that when it was the 250th, 'I would be really old!' :P

(SOmetimes, I hate being right!) >_<

Hey all,
Quick note, I know I JUST got back,
AND got hit with 3 car repairs in a row.

(I swear my cars are like jealous siblings. I cannot take one car in without all the others wanting attention too! Sadly this means they all find things to break on me so they can get said attention. I JUST spent over 6K on 3 cars in less than 3 weeks.)
>_<
(No. This is not normal. If it was, I would have gotten rid of all of them by now!)

ANYway, I have a chance to visit my family in Oklahoma for the 4th.
(Yes, I just saw some of them in Canada for the wedding, but not all of them, and did not have much visiting time.)

Leaving Thu morning, So I will be out of touch for the weekend.
I will check in if I have time, but should be back on by Monday night. Tuesday by the latest.

Happy 4th of July/BBQ/Grill day to all!

LOL, Oh I LUV to share!
(Whether or not i SHOULD share? Different story.) :P

It IS beautiful. If you like, wild, rough countryside. Then it is heaven. Google pics of Ucluelet & Tophino. If you find a resort called "The Black Rock", that was were we were at.

Let's see, tidbits,
-Beautiful hi-end resort, in a small town (more of a village actually) where most of the other places to stay (and there were a LOT of places) were Mom & Pop Local places. No hotel chains to be found. All restaurants, shops, tours, etc are all locally owned. (Not sure about the 2-3 larger resorts in the area)

-Resort is ON the water, most of the windows give at least a partial view of the shore. Which includes a view of waves, big black rocks, beach, water-stripped & storm tossed trees lining the rocks and shore, and lots of TREES, some growing out of said rocks in the ocean.

-Sitting on the balcony watching the waves crash as the sun sets, sipping plum saki. And of course on the balcony in the morning, sipping coffee while watching the same. (Rooms have the hotel-logo plush white robes to wear if you want. I felt very Posh.)

-Most exciting time?
Wedding took place on a 'beach'. There are three 'beaches' nearby. None of them have any sand. (Or hardly any sand) They shore is covered in crushed seashells. All of them have a steep slope to get to them. The one this was at had the steepest, windiest, hardest to get to trail. My mother needs help walking, she gets dizzy and loses her balance now. (She has already fallen several times.) She made it down and back up with help. The Brides mother is pretty much wheel chair bound. We TRIED, several of us, to get her wheel chair down to the beach, ended up breaking the plastic wheelchair front wheel on a rock/tree-root trap. Tried to walk her down, she was too weak. One of her family finally called it, and we gave her a roller-coaster ride back up the danger path, and she watched the wedding from an overhang spot above the tiny beach. (listened in via facetime)
Thats the short version. It was VERY 'exciting' for a moment or two there. ;P

It WAS a beautiful, scenic, and memorable wedding. All of their friends agreed it was the most 'them' wedding ever. :D

-My wife and I stayed the day after, went to church in a tiny local catholic church. (Little wooden church. I dont know what else to call it but 'Cute')

-Tried a couple of beers from local breweries. I am NOT a big beer drinker. DOn't really like beer. But these were well-made, and even I thought they were good. Turns out the Ucluelet local brewery was also an old church. When locals want to go drink there they say they are "Going to do Prayers". ;)

-Took a whale watch tour/boat ride after church. The average ride is 2.5-3 hours. We saw a harbor seal, a few sea lions, and after 2+ hours, finally found some whales. The wife was very excited. But frustrated at how difficult it is to take pics of moving critters in a boat bouncing on the waves. (Not as easy as those documentaries make it look.)

Hello.
The wizened wizard has returned from the wilds of Canada!

It was an adventure just getting there, and back.
Fun was had. Wedding was successful. (It had a couple of exciting moments)

Most mind-bending moment?
About to get on a plane in Vancouver, watching a beautiful sunset.
Landing the plane in Dallas, 4-1/2 hrs later, watching the sunrise.
o_O
My mind still hurts trying to wrap itself around THAT math.

The far west of Vancouver Isle is beautiful.
In a 'If I catch you outside during a storm, I will end you!' kind of way.

Was told by a local that the weather was PERFECT, 60 degrees, no humidity, no rain, no storms, My bro got very lucky with the weather.
The NEXT day? It got a little chilly, Fog rolls in that next night, I heard the lighthouse foghorn all, night, long. :)

I am glad to be back.
(The south Lousy-Anna humidity? Not so much! Did NOT miss that!)

I will start catching up. Soon.
(I am very tired, I have been up for about 36 hours straight at this point. Still, not 'exhausted', just, really want to go to bed soon.) ;P

Except for two hours ferry ride :)

Enjoy your trip! And wedding!

** spoiler omitted **

Thanks,... HEY! :P

Actually, the pics are GORGEOUS. If I could afford to stay, I would think about it.
(At least for the summer, It is HOT and Humid down here in South Lousy-Anna!)

In other news, I have been so busy with ,... let's stay PG and just call it 'malarky' (both family drama and work drama) that I almost forgot to warn everyone.

I will also be traveling this week.
Going to attend my 'little' brother's wedding. In Canada.
He moved to Washington State, and the closest town to him is in Canada.
I've seen pics. He lives in a Hallpark postcard. :P

SO I will be leaving Louisiana on Tues, June 16, and returning on the following Tuesday.
Oi Vey, I think I've got it (mostly) worked out now, but we dont get to travel a lot. Just GETTING there will be an adventure for us! :D

Once we get there, (Vancouver) it will be midnight.
Once we make it through customs, we get to check into the airport hotel, where I will hopefully get a couple of hours sleep, before getting back up to grab our rental car and drive to the Ferry.
The Ferry is a two hour ride, and then we have another 2 hour drive across the island to the ocean side, where we will arrive at the resort.

Ucluelet Is supposed to be a vacation wilderness wonderland. The pics are beautiful. Definitely out of our usual wheelhouse. We are looking forward to it.

SHORT version, (too late!)
I will probably be out of touch the entire week. Not expecting a lot of time to have access to web-browsing. :)

I have to agree. I think I'll be doing a lot of -review-reading.

OR just asking for reminders. :P

Sorry to hear that RDK
May was one of those months for a lot of us I gather.

I work for the State too (via a University) Said University has 'suddenly' discovered that they were $25 MILLION in the hole budget wise.,
TWO years in a row,... <facepalm>

So yeah, lots of changes. None good. All overly complicated, and (IMHO) designed to make us give up on collecting Comp Time and similar stuff, so they dont have to pay it out. :P

Yeah,... They can fire me if they want, (good luck to them on finding another to do my job, for my small amount of $$) but they cannot break me! :)

Um,... Welcome back! :D

I'm traveling today, post in 8-10h

we lost in semifinals from future and defending champions, but got the bronze! and girls got the gold! :)

mission accomplished

Still great, and very cool!

Hey all,

FYI, My Work life STINKS right now. :P

(I mean, it can be a hot mess on a good day, but it is getting ridiculous) :(

SO, if I vanish from posting-Radar for a day, or three, I'm probably just trying to dig my way out from under a lot of shenanigans being busy at work.

Probably. ;P

That is all. Carry on! :D

I've moved at least 15 or 20 times in my life. Hopefully this is going to be the last one. However, if not, I'm pretty used to it by now.

Oh I get it. I'm USED to it. (I've done my share of city/college/state/hopping over the years.)

Still don't LIKE it. At all. :P

But Still, New house? COOL! :)

Well Rags DOES operate a theater, thus must the drama always be heightened!

Oh,... You have NOoooooo idea how true that is!

Pat- sorry to hear it's 'intense'.
(Is that legal-ese for 'a hot mess'?)
good luck!

David- New business? Good luck!
House hunting? Cool, Have fun.

Actually MOVING? NOT so cool.

Personal prejudice, but MOVING is one of my Top-Three LEAST favorite things to do. Ever.
It ranks right up there with looking for a new job, and divorce. :P
(For me at least)

Once you GET moved? THEN you're back to 'Cool' again! :D

OK, I dont know where to move to, need to know which room the 2 very dead bodies are in,... :)

Had a bit of a long week, got called into work early both days(and I work morning tomorrow, so can't ask me to come in earlier than we open! HA!), *and* I started my early(ie, 5:30am, and then 4:30am) morning walks again. 1.3 miles the first day, and 2+ the second. Sadly, a bit too chilly this morning.

Am just now catching up.

Ugh, I feel that. It's dance season for my rentals. SO many days of different dance schools, morning noon and nights. :(

And of course my university is having EXTREME money issues (They 'misplaced/overspent' $50 million in two years) :P

So, do they balance their budget? NO!
They come up with entirely new, overly complicated, near-impossible to fulfill correctly time sheet changes, to make it more difficult for us to log in our overtime/Comp Time so they wont have to pay it. >_<

When the majority of your job is essentially all nights and weekends, (I run the campus auditorium) that is a problem. :P

And DON'T even get me started on State Inventory!

MOst days I prefer Ravenloft to University. Not gonna lie. It's safer. :P
