Sorry to use your discussion forum Beeler. Like he cares.
Hah. Only thing I care about now is getting the game updated. First day back to work (fricking craz-y) and I have a foot tall pile of mail next to me I haven’t even looked at yet, plus I need to get the house cleaner yet before my wife and son get home this afternoon (ggggaaaaahhhhh….), and find time to read the PF Alpha rule set (but not before I get things rolling again, durnit!).

Shrunk them for faster load times:
Cemetery
Parade goers
Titling this photo would get me banned
That's no rock!
What's all this yammering about drunken tourists?

Nice cemetery pic.
Can't scramble up statues like that in the US!I don't get the 'tilting this photo would get me banned' title.
That's no Rock! That's CSI:Ireland!
And finally, who is the drunken tourist? The wifey?

We have loads of those, lol. Morbid tourists!

I love that part about Ireland. There were people on rooftops! If you go to the Cliffs of Moher, you can scramble right over the side to your death. Got to love less litigous countries. Stuck your finger in a lightsocket, eh laddie? Won't do that again, will ya?
I don't get the 'tilting this photo would get me banned' title.
Ahem.
That's no Rock! That's CSI:Ireland!
We were short a foot, some ribs, and two hands of building a (more or less) complete skeleton (no I'm not kidding).
And finally, who is the drunken tourist? The wifey?
Yep, yep, that's Marcy.

So is Kirrish gonna dress up like a Little Lord Fontelroy?
Yeah, he's gonna make himself a disguise and finally fit into Raam's high society. Leave the "adventuring" life behind with his seamless ability to blend in as a high-born human. He'll be the only dealer of macaroni and cheese in Raam and the Great Houses will flock to his banner.
The plan cannot fail!!

Hey, man! Did you have to do an I-131 ablation in the room for 3 days?
That's the plan. I meet with my surgeon this morning at 9 am, actually, for the removal of my steri-strips and the "where do we go from here" speech. What I really want is a thyroid backscatter and a lifetime of suppression, what they want is to destroy whatever organ I have left with radiation sight unseen. Hopefully we'll meet somewhere in the middle. Current plan is two months of low iodine diet followed by three days of isolation and feeling like hell.
Have I mentioned I’m a stubborn ass? The way I see it, at some point we’re going to stop meeting, and I have to live in this body.

My PET scan was a new experience. There is a semi that drives around to different locations, and it was out back of the testing facility I go to. 7 in the morning on a frosty day and I'm being led out back into a semi trailer like a cow to slaughter thinking, "Well, this is it, they're harvesting my organs and I'll never be seen again."
Nice layout inside. All heated, comfy chairs, giant lined compartment for me to wait by my irradiated self (though it had an escape hatch). Ended up falling asleep during the scan itself, which was not a comfortable feeling.

MWB, I sympathize fully,...
We got lucky. In 2005 (RIGHT before Katrina, never said my life was boring!) The wife had an overactive Thyroid, the choices were surgery, (partial or full), and NUKE. We chose surgery (full removal) because we just didn't see the need to nuke something 'just in case', (She had no symptoms of anything except overactive Thyroid), and didn't really want to go back for the rest later. Turns out that was the right move from dumb luck.
SInce they had in in a pan anyway, they Biopsied it for fun. Yep. You guessed it. But no test short of the full biopsy would have ever shown it.
So of course, after all that she STILL had to go in and swallow the NUKE pill! (No good deed goes unpunished I guess,... ;P)
Sorry, tired from driving all day, felt like a 'sharing' moment, do carry on,... ;)

When I was in my first year of college my friend worked at a pizza joint on campus. Some dude, who had been dumped hard and incidentally was on anti-psychotic medication, took the pizza knife into the bathroom and chopped his balls off and flushed them down the toilet.
... I just wanted to be in the conversation, too. How did I do?

Sounds familiar, hah!
Yeah, I worry now if my life expectancy isn't going to be significantly shortened by all this; it's a real downer, especially because my son is downright awesome (even biased as I am). I wonder now if I shouldn't have pressed for that cyberknife thing, but seriously, my surgeon did a fantastic job. Not looking forward to being sick again though, I feel good now, just a little tired on occasion.

Wow. I go away for a week and the whole (gaming) world changes. I like what I’ve read about the new Pathfinder RPG. This is great news!
Now for the bad news; my work has blocked the Paizo Website. Since about 90% of my posts were from work, I won’t be able to post nearly as much as I used to. Because of that sad news I must announce my retirement from the game. I will lurk as much as I can.
I had a great time playing!
Thank you,
ManPig.

You know, the American Union soldier that shot John Wilkes Boothe after the Lincoln assassination did the same thing, except he did it for religious reasons because he was attracted to "fallen women".

ManPig------I heard that if you Google a blocked website and go to it from Google that Google will act as a proxy, allowing you access to the site. I haven't ever verified that because I don't work, but I read something about it......Let me see if I can find the article.
Anyway if that don't work, then it was cool gamin' with you.

Ah, here it was, I copied the text to post here, and sorry I forgot that you to have Google do an english to english translation.....
How to visit the Web sites your company blocks
The Problem: Companies often block employees from visiting certain sites -- ranging from the really nefarious (porn) to probably bad (gambling) to mostly innocuous (Web-based e-mail services).
The Trick: Even if your company won't let you visit those sites by typing their Web addresses into your browser, you can still sometimes sneak your way onto them. You travel to a third-party site, called a proxy, and type the Web address you want into a search box. Then the proxy site travels to the site you want and displays it for you -- so you can see the site without actually visiting it. Proxy.org, for one, features a list of more than 4,000 proxies.
Another way to accomplish the same thing, from Frauenfelder and Trapani: Use Google's translation service, asking it to do an English-to-English translation. Just enter this -- Google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.blockedsite.com -- replacing "blockedsite.com" with the Web address of the site you want to visit. Google effectively acts as a proxy, calling up the site for you.
The Risk: If you use a proxy to, say, catch up on e-mail or watch a YouTube video, the main risk is getting caught by your boss. But there are scarier security risks: Online bad guys sometimes buy Web addresses that are misspellings of popular sites, then use them to infect visitors' computers, warns Lobel. Companies often block those sites, too -- but you won't be protected from them if you use a proxy.
How to Stay Safe: Don't make a habit of using proxies for all your Web surfing. Use them only to visit specific sites that your company blocks for productivity-related reasons -- say, YouTube. And watch your spelling.
Hope that works for you, I would hate to have you lose some gaming because of work!;P
If it works let me know and don't forget to add that I am the MFin' Man!
