I've been trying to figure out what all's different. The text is easier to read, isn't it?
I swear I just saw a thread on population levels in Golarion, and now I see it nowhere! Clues? Losing my mind?
Oh by the way taig...

Planning on running it with the first batch of Pathfinder rules PCs we roll up. ;)Oh by the way taig...

Let me know how it goes. I've got to wait for my son's marching band schedule to wind down before I can run it.

You notice that to? I thought I was the only one who saw that. ;)

Well I jus got out an managed to run a quartr mile in a single shot. I hven't been able to do that in years. I feel like 'm going to die now, but it is a good start.Hmmm... there's got to be a story behind that.... But congratulations anywho!
He is planning on applying for a police job, and is pretty sure about the paper test but not physical. Just don't do this.

Okay, the story is that I haven't worked out in almost 15 years, in any serious capacity. Part of it is because of shin splints, and part of it is that I have just been lazy about it. Anyway, I have to be able to pass a physical fitness test in about 2 and a half weeks, so I decided to go out and try my best to get into shape. Anyway, I guess all the walking I have been doing has started to pay off, because I had no problems with the shin splints. Now I just need to get my endurance up to where it used to be. Hopefully two and a half weeks will be enough.If you have a place to swim, then I encourage you to do so. I've often heard it is one of the best ways to get in shape, because you use a lot of different muscles.
I think for police officers the main thing is being able to sprint, run, hold your own in a fistfight, and climb walls quickly.

Blech. I seem to have picked up a dry cough that just will not let up. And I have to babysit tonight. I'd call off, but I got it from them in the first place. I put a splash of rum in my coke and hopefully that will soothe it a bit. Traditionally it should be whiskey in tea, but I'm all out of whiskey so I had to improvise. :)
Which kind of coke would this be?

I forgot to mention my morning adventure. So for those of you the know me fairly well you know that I am terrified of spiders. Like paralyingly so. So ok, We are in the car, driving to school. And having a firly decent time bee bopping to the music, trying to perk the morning back up. I turn the bend and the sun is shining very brightly. So I reach up and pull down the shade. And wouldn't you kow down comes a big...big...BIG spider. It was ugly and kinda a clear brown, and just a swinging from its web thingy, right in my face. This thing was the size of a quarter. I scream, naturally. And try to push away from it, back into teh seat. I don;t think I could have gotten any further back without going bck into teh seat. So, bravely, I reach up and put the sunshade back up, spider and all. Pull into the next parking lot, and grab a think paper. I get out of the car, pull down teh shade and SMASH!!! I killed it!!! I was so very proud of myself.
Well that was that..all within teh first hour of my day!
Dang... I shouldn't have deleted that ettercap alias... ;)

Hello Taig, how are you this afternoon?I'm doing OK, thanks. Waiting for this workday to be over. :)
I hope your afternoon is going better than your morning.
I am with Gworeth--I respect spiders, I like the fact that they kill other, less desirable critters, but I'm pretty squeamish about dealing with them.
When we lived in San Antonio, I was able to handle scorpions with no problems, but not the giant banana spider I almost walked face first into when I was mowing the lawn. Oh yeah, I also hated the fire ants (I'm highly allergic to their bites).
+1 spiders.
Spiders are awesome and they eat all of the flies in my house. And they're really pretty. I'm wary of black widows though when I'm in desert areas. And I always make sure the gigantic house spider that just ran over the printer wasn't one of those hobo/aggressive house spiders.|

See Spiders are evil. They lay their traps and get you when you unknowingly walk into them. I swear they are out to get you! We had a big spider in our first house, and it would sit every morning in teh hallway and block the way out the door, so I couldn't go to work. I couldn't pass it. Too Big. UGH!
Evil Evil Spiders.
Some friends of mine had two beautiful barn spiders in their front doorway whom they had named. I don't remember the names, but I do remember that one morning they found a praying mantis at the doorstep and one of the spiders was missing. It later turned out that it had just been hiding.
Note: I forgot to add this to previous post, but I also like spiders because they're one of the few natural predators of yellowjackets, which are much more aggressive than any spider I've ever seen.|

And let's be real... spiders don't have to be all that big to be disgusting...
Ants here in denmark are more of a bother than anything else... like when this special little orange sort digs up the flowerbed and flatly refuse to die when I spray them with "die-stupid-ants" poison... well, some die but not all of them ;-)
Aww... poor ants.
Aforementioned friends also had a problem with red ants, and while they (the friends) were normally all Buddhist (except 3/4 ate meat), they tried to use poison and insecticide on them. It didn't work. I suggest getting a chicken or two. They love ants :)|

Oh and the BIG BIG Black ones!! They are like the size of a dime!!Orange ants? They come in extra colors besides black and red now? (shudder) Eeeew.And let's be real... spiders don't have to be all that big to be disgusting...

Before I went vegetarian I used to eat those (they're called carpenter ants). They are kinda sweet, but you have to be careful not to eat this one part cause it's really bitter/sour.

I laugh at people who don't love spiders...but I hate cockroaches with a blind, furious, burning disgust.
I'm only afraid of slugs, and I manage to stifle my intense desire to go into a barbarian rage and cut them all up (I did it when I was younger, ok?). I think cockroaches are kinda... alien. They are so amazing, but they're so... weird. I mean, being the survivors of life? Prolific reproducers? Impossible immunity to pesticides? I'm glad I don't have any more cockroaches at my house (previously I only had seen 2-3 little small ones which I smashed to prevent them breeding and taking over).

I really don't like teenagers, I like bursting their bubble. ;)There are millions of 10-15 year-old girls who would disagree with that. :)I just have to say it...
** spoiler omitted **
thank you for letting me get that off my chest.
Man... that hurt... I will now go and slit my wrists in the bathroom.
Hi.
Did somebody call my name?
Weird, I was about to say the same thing.
....
Make luv, not war dudes.

Coke zero. You know, the beverage. :)
