You know, you could just stay in Italy. It's gorgeous there, you're learning Italian, and your partner has interests there too. Why come back? Your fawtl family is online, so there's nothing to lose.The plan is to work up until mid June (and give notice 2 to 3 weeks in advance), then go to Europe, then come back and start moving. But I will want to start applying for jobs in advance, with the hope that there might be something in the pipeline by August. It's risky...That sux. Well, sign up for the leave, then use the time to start your search.It's looking like a very likely possibility.So I got a definite "no" back on my request for leave this summer. There's no way to add vacation time so that it works.Well, that sucks. Are you going to consider Treppa's idea?
You're a bad influence.

Italians love and appreciate opera.
So a long time ago as a joke I made a character based on Piffany from the Nodwick comic. I'm in the process of rewriting her to use as a cohort in the current game. This should be interesting....:)
I had to look up her stats:
She has nonweapon proficiencies! Yeah for old school!

My wife did something similar the first time she played a paladin in a game she was in when we were dating. She ended up with a blue dragon wyrmling as a cohort, and she forced the poor little guy to sing "Happy Songs" every day. I think the dragon either killed itself or slowly went mad, became Lawful Good, and was avoided by almost every other dragon due to his awful singing.
Interesting morning/afternoon.
I had the day off to go to a doctor's check-up at 1330.
After waking up early and taking a nap, I woke up at a little after 1100 and felt as if I were going into insulin shock. I checked my blood sugar and it was 221. (I believe the units are mg/dl...) Average is 80 to 120. So, no insulin shock and it was up a little bit. :(
Normally at that time of day I would take a fast-acting insulin shot (humalog, it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to START working) with the dosage based upon the current value of my blood sugar (how much it is over 140) and based upon how many grams of carbs I plan to eat for lunch. So, I took a dosage that should have been sufficient to bring it down to 140 (after it began to work...) and added a fairly large amount to compensate for the big lunch I intended to go out and eat. :)
Then, I took a quick shower and got dressed. I always make a point to check my blood sugar before driving as anything under 80 could very well be dangerous to drive. Dangerous as in similar to driving drunk although at what blood sugar level such motor skill losses actually occur will vary from time to time. Less than 20 minutes after my previous check (and before my insulin shot had begun to take effect...) my blood sugar level was now 101!
You see, SOMETIMES when I feel as if my blood sugar is low, it is because it is rapidly dropping. So, when I tested it at 221 it was not low but my blood sugar level was rapidly dropping.
At this point my blood sugar was 101, dead in the middle of average, but I had taken a dosage designed to lower my blood sugar 80 points from 221 to 140. With my blood sugar having dropped to 101 on its own before the insulin began to take effect, this dosage would probably drop my blood sugar level down into the 20s. Easily coma range. So, I would need some serious sugars and carbs to bring it up/keep it from dropping. But, I didn't just take a dosage big enough to drop my blood sugar 80 points, I had an additioinal amount to take care of all the carbs I had intended to eat for lunch.
In other words, if I took in enough carbs to equal a large lunch, that would hold my blood sugar levels up and keep it from dropping below the 20s. Of course, as previously stated, 20s is already in the coma range. :(
Needless to say, I didn't go anywhere and stayed ready. I drank a lot of the one gallon Arizona Southern Style Sweet Tea jug that I had in the fridge. I did go into a fog for a bit of a while but came back out of it. Eventually, I went out anf got a lunch after my head cleared of its fog.
Now, the fog is gone from my head but I have been with a headache from hell.
I missed my check-up. Stupid carb counting.

I'm still waiting for Rush to go to Costa Rica.
I think you've been listening to too much liberal radio mi amigo. ;)...a hat full of millions of dollars. He's a Terrorvangelist. ;)
....wait ... there's liberal radio out there? :P
Nah, I don't listen to any radio. Period. The only time I do is to listen to the local AM station for the local talking heads (not politics related) and traffic updates ... however they do syndicate both of those buttmunches. That's when my bloviator warning goes off and I switch the dial or throw on the iPod.

WOOD 1300 Am for the morning show, then METAL all day while I play with a sharp knife and cut various types of MEAT.
Theraputic. :)

So Urizen, what do you think of my rsponse to your question?
Hm, so much for a "civil" religious discussion.
I need an aspirin...
*sigh* I know what you mean. Thankfully, I've made all of my will saves so far.

Awesome! I am a little frightened by how similar my character's stats are to that, making allowances for edition differences. :)

Yay! More cool ideas with which to amuse the rest of the party. :D

No, Moff, I find you are always respectful no matter how much crap is thrown in your face. Seriously I don't know where you find the strength to put up with the militant atheists.You referring to my post(s)?Hm, so much for a "civil" religious discussion.

That's not very civil. :-(

Which part? That I'm respectful or that you're a militant atheist?
*does a victory dance*You've been doing a lot of victory dances. What's up?
One for each day I wake up alive. ;)

Your respectfulness has long been a thorn in my side!
Besides, we've already had the conversation in the latest round of posts many times in the past.
It's the militant thing that gets my goat. I don't hold religious belief in particularly high regards, but I also don't advocate getting rid of religion altogether, which is something I associate with militant athesists. That said, I do get pissed off at anti-evoluntion arguments, which I find as reasonable as flat-earth arguments. It doesn't make me militant it makes me...
done with this topic in this thread.

I wasn't actually referring to Sebastian as a militant atheist, just the overall attitude of some in there. I'm not even sure where he falls as I have missed large chunks of that other thread's discussion.Which part? That I'm respectful or that you're a militant atheist?
Whew!
Not that I care what you think!
(It's just that I had been the most active on the atheist side of the equation in that thread lately, so thought you were referring to me.)

Okay, I will free one tilde in acknowledgment of your reasonableness in agreeing with me...
...and execute 10 more because I'm still a bastard!

No fun at all. I hope you're doing OK now.Interesting morning/afternoon.

Much better but with a major headache.
Signing out for a while.

The thread irritates me sometimes so I stop reading for weeks, today happened to be the day I looked again and I only checked out the last page or two before leaving again.
So haha!
I'll never read whatever point you were trying to make!
That said, I do get pissed off at anti-evoluntion arguments, which I find as reasonable as flat-earth arguments. It doesn't make me militant it makes me...
Why does it make you angry? I believe in evolution and a round earth as you do, but if people want to believe in nutty stuff, what does it matter to you and me?
So...
Treppa and I just got back from her check up. She's good to go for now and they switched her medication back to what she was taking a few months ago. We go back for a Echo Stress test in about a month just to make sure.

Well, that's good news. :)
