Thats a lot of coffee. I will sometimes have two cups in the afternoon, making it a total of like 5 for the day, but 9 would have my tumy hurting.

Well, for me anyway. It's where I draw the line. Used to use Equal until my mom made me switch to Splenda.

Realistically I drink 3 cups at a time. Thtat's how much coffe my mug will hold. 2 gulps eliminates 1 cup from my mug.

At work right now, though. Social networking is verbotten here, so I don't even dare try. Luckily for me, Paizo is recognized as a business establishment. Most sites of its nature are usually blocked here.

Your mother has custodial over you?

I'm pretty sure yes. She has to proves on paper that she provides a little more than half my support.

End of April? Warmish. you may need a light jacket and jeans. :)
I only ask because I got word over the weekend that we may be driving down to Panama City FL for her cousin's wedding. The rest of the family may head out to Orlando afterwards. Since we don't have kids, it doesn't really hold interest for us. Depending on funds and time availability, we may debate a path off the beaten trail on our return back north.
Doing that would preclude us from the May shindig, though... It's up for debate.

Hey. I have no problem admitting it. IAnd I don't skirt around it. When people tell me that I have issues, I tell them exactly why. And truth be told I function as well as anyother person not diagnosed with it.

I would have never guessed. You don't fit the stereotype, if you don't mind me saying so. Just never heard of the mosaic variant.

Either way. If you come in April than it would be more of a couples vacation than a gamers get together. But you would be missed in May. :)

I probably don't fir the stereotype because my mom fought like hell so that educatore wouldn't stick me in SpecialEd. I eventually graduated high school, albeit 3 years later than most people would, but I also went for 5 years. No I didn't get held back a grade, I willingly waited till my fifth year to take my 4th year of English.

That is true, but it would probably makes things easier on her and more inclusive. Or at least more apt for me to pull it off since we're already down there when fiscal conversations come up.

Actually, I can relate. I didn't enter public schooling until the equivalent of 3rd grade. I was labeled as hard of hearing back when I was four, but after taking an IQ test they didn't want to put me in the school for the deaf, so I was put through a different program. Back in the '70's, the problem was that the deaf kids were getting mixed with the autistic kids and habits tend to get picked up. Mom eventually pulled me out and put me into the public school system. I picked up speech classes and excelled over others in my grade equivalent to graduate when I was supposed to. No one would ever guess that I have a hearing loss when they speak to me because I talk just like everyone else. They figure I'm just being male and choose to have selective hearing. :P But seriously, there are times when you know I didn't hear you right because I reply back with something that makes absolutely no sense because I really went fubar on translating what you had just said to me. Makes for some funny occassions.

You should be so lucky. Filing taxes suck. Especially when you have a lot of addendums like I do.

~grins~ Well, just remember this TAD, "Everyone has problems. It is just that some people's problems are more visible than others." At least you are dealing with your problems in a sane, heathy way. Good for you!

I'm hard of hearing too. My hearing loss didn't come till after several ear infections though. My ADD doesn't help when listening to what people are saying. If I don't look at the person directly when they are speaking, my brain warps the message into something related.
Looking at the speakers helps because I've managed to learn to read lips to a degree.

Do you think you could make the reservations though? I don't have the means to do so myself.

It helps that I have deeply rooted faith. Without such a grounding I would have lost my sanity during high school.
