Just a little bit. Not a lot. A cup full, perhaps.

Cmon guys. I don't need a lot.

Who has some eggnog to spare?

Yes! But you (and/or your wife) have to come to Florida for it. :D

my wife is lactose intolerant and at any rate drinking eggnog in 79 degrees hear sounds like a punishment.

It was 81 today :P

I second the call for you to come to Florida!

I had a lovely spinach and walnut salad topped with tuna for today! Quite excited

7-10 inches (of snow) now forecast for the weekend.

How picturesque of the weather!

Note to self: get Swiss Miss on the way home from work tonight.

74/78 all weekend! I am very pleased!

I graduated in '87, just before I enlisted.

Well, that wonderful time of day has come again. Time to get ready for work, my second eleven-hour shift of the week. Signing off. Will return around 1 to 1:30 AM. Have a good day everyone! :)

Naked under that cap and gown??

The General helpfully pointed out it was actually almost twenty years ago.

F+#! you time!

Next you'll tell me that nineties were more than 10 years ago?!

This still surprises me, It only feels like 10 years ago.. or so. And then I remember that I graduated in 2000.. and that was like a loooong time ago,

If you graduated any time after 1990, you're still a wee youngster.

John's catching up with me.

And let's hope Haladir or TFY don't show up. (The only two people I know on the boards who are older than me, though I'm sure there are many more in hiding...)

Hardly a wee youngster... but not exactly an old fart either :P

Happily in my mid 30's.

I'm doing a third-party giveaway again this year.

Here's how it works:

Post in this thread indicting your interest in getting a free PDF (or PDFs).

Each day, beginning on December 13th, I'll use Paizo's dice roller to randomly select a winner and I'll PM the winner to ask them for their choice of PDF(s) from Kobold Press, Legendary Games, Purple Duck Games, Raging Swan Press, Rite Publishing, Rogue Genius Games, Rusted Iron Games, Zenith Games, or Zombie Sky Press. Please limit selections to $12 (I can't afford to give away 12 copies of Deep Magic), but they don't have to be books that I've worked on.

If you've been chosen as a winner, you will be out of future rounds to make sure 12 different people receive free stuff. :)

Thanks!

Cool! I'd be interested!

Glad to hear things are going well!

And for you!! We didn't realize you were getting married till it popped up on FB the day of! The things you miss when you leave the OTD threads I guess.

I am so happy for you, the pictures are beautiful! You guys look so happy, and like everyone had so much fun.

I thought everything went wonderfully. We had a blast!

how long are you two honeymooning for?

It's pretty short. 4 days.

Which is probably just as well because the food at this resort is expensive (but very very good).

*mmm food....*

Think I need to find some breakfast....

Me too... stupid phone calls at work keeping me from eating.

I managed to get some grapes and peanuts... I am able to snack at work, so that helps.

Dieting, as I need to lose the 40lbs I gained in Texas!I have lost 2 so far, cut out all white foods, and have started walking before work.

I found a lovely park this morning, has a nature walk and all, so at least its a fun exercise.

It's been five months? It feels both much longer, and surprisingly much shorter since you declared not smoking on fb, and the progress of time spend without smoke.

July 24th 2016 at 5pm... that was my last smoke. :)

Uh.. I seem to be having a hard time getting mine down...

Was it ever not a tradition... have they been lying to me this whole time.

"Uh yeah *snicker* the top of the page *snicker snicker* no clothes, for realz yo!" *snicker snicker*

LOL! Pretty sure thats been a "thang" for like a decade or something...

By the way, I might be headed down Florida way mid-march. I'll keep you posted :)

Fantastic! I believe Miss Jess is also headed this way in March! Let us know when and we will try and arrange it by your schedule.

I should do some walking now but I'm hauling about 30lbs in books ATM and it's cold out there on the mean streets of Boston...

Yea, the walking is easy when all you have is a bottle of water and its Sunny and 80 out!

On the lovely streets of Downtown Boca Raton

True that. It's a good thing they didn't Anglicize that town's name. Boca Raton sounds much fancier than 'Ratmouth', lol

HAHAHAHA! Moorluck said the same thing!

Or put on pants, apparently. :-P

Is that still a tradition around here?

Most people do, since I never go away. :P

I was on extended holiday?

Thats a bit of a hike...

How are you settling into the new place?

Hey there Honeymooner! Congrats! <3

We love it here! Kids are happy, the area is beautiful, jobs are good. It was a good move for us.
Missing Jess though.. We spent a lot of time together during the holidays.

How busy are you going to be when the Barbie film comes out, Captain?

For that matter, why are they releasing a Barbie film, Captain?

Why?

Barbie?? Man am I glad my daughter is well above the Barbie age!

How goes it? How's Florida?

It goes,

Florida is beautiful! The weather is a balmy 80 degrees.. Its sunny and just.. *sigh* gorgeous.

We are all happy here. Kids are in good schools, we both have good jobs, love our house. Its a major positive move for us.

25 minutes to kill.. off tomorrow! Taking a personal day with the hubby! Who says hi BTW, he broke his phone (shattered the screen).. and we're doing the interwebs from our phones for the foreseeable future.. so he won't be posting.

ok.. if I'm not going to actually work I supose I could work on the two papers due this week thatI haven't started yet.....

First class back is going well. And for those who didn't know.. I switched my major's from Eductaion to business finance.. as i find myself really enjouying being in charge of other people's money. :P And when I switched majors they were able to transfer ALL of my gen ed credits leaving only 60 credits left to finish my bachelor's. :)

One of the best things about this new job is that we get to listen to music.. our music. We have our own offices and speakers for our computers. Makes things a bit more fun!

Oh that and I can wear what ever I want! Jeans.. shorts.. business casual.. pajamas.. doesn't seem to matter.

Oh Coffee.. how I love thee let me count the ways!!

I am doing well just to scare everyone Jude will be 3 and a half in 2 weeks. :)

Woah....

Riley Bug turned 6 two weeks ago!

Good Morning FawtL's! So I see Kirk told you guys about our big summer move. :) Im very excited. Its a whole new ball game for me. No more retail. Ill be doing payables and apprentice accounting.

My new boss is very agreeable and laid back. So much so that I am to write my two year contact myself and he will tweak it if he feels it needs it. I was hoping you could help me Sebastian.. if you have some time. I have no idea how to even begin. This request for advice is not limited to the pony.. in case any of you other professionals have a few spare minutes :)

Vegas in 8 days! :D

But I already feel that way. I'm not old enough to be getting old!

Ok, we will revise said statement. :)

You know you are getting older when you used to love catching a local band in a crowded loud bar with your best friends, but would now rather stay in an play cards.
