And the overcaffeination did help reduce some of the effects of the alcohol. Some. My ears hate me, but other than that. :)
It comes in varieties? This was the first time I'd had it. Mine had veggies and chicken with it. Was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.

That has to be the most brilliant thing I have ever heard.*sigh* Arden is being a brat. All.. *FINE* and *UGH*, with a couple of eye rolls. :PI HATE that! But it *is* to be expected at a certain point, I suppose.
We've recently gone to a system by which the girls can earn chips (poker chips) for good behavior. They have specific chores they have to do, and if they do them without having to be reminded they get a chip. They can also get bonus chips for exceptionally good behavior.
Bad behavior results in a loss of chips from their current holdings.
They then get to cash in the chips for time on the computer (playing Wizard 101), time on the Wii, or TV time. Each chip represents 15 minutes.
They always have toys, drawing and reading available, but if they want to do any of the above three activities, they have to buy the time with their chips.
So far, it's worked out pretty well. They usually don't earn more than about 90 minutes of time each week and they seem to do just fine with that. It also teaches them to budget without having to use actual money.
Wow. Thanks, Allen. I wish I could take full credit for it, but my wife and I had to work together to come up with the system. Have I mentioned that I have the most awesome wife in the world? (Yes, I know that their are folks in this thread who could easily disagree with me...they are entitle to their opinions. XD )

Got a bathroom shelf set... I might be addicted to putting together furniture kits >.>I found it fun until I cut my hand open and bled all over the TV stand. On the bright side, it meant we got to name the TV stand Allenbane. On the down side, I bled all over the TV stand. :)
EDIT: Ummmm.....naked bleeding for TotP. Not sure how I feel about that one.
That reminds me...I was supposed to watch episode six of The Walking Dead while my family was out. I've been playing Pathfinder via d20Pro and posting here, instead. ::shrugs:: Oh, well.

I'll have to take your word for it since eating salmon would kill me. I don't think anything's delicious enough to literally die for. :)

I had to look up what a boxty was. I like potato pancakes and it sounds pretty similar. I'd be interested in more information on the salmon boxty.

It was just such a good idea I had to use some hyperbole. :) Seriously though, it is a great idea the two of you have developed. If I had children I would seriously consider this.

Check out the 'five things to do as PotUS' thread.I'd sure like to see those in context, please.
I know. And he didn't even mention that every president since Benjamin Franklin has been an animal rapist.
Anyone else want to play strawman rape tag with ewan? I'm dedicated to making off-topic remarks and snarky comments, but surely one of you good folks still enjoys the novelty of an internet discussion of politics.
Consider this:
Everything you've posted above can, has, and likely will be disputed.
And none of it addresses the real problem of animal rape by presidents.
Taken completely out of context. YES, animal rape was mentioned. NO, he was not making a joke of it. YES, he was making fun of you. All further posts were referencing the first one in the sequence.
I really can't judge this one fully, since I was not there from the thread's inception, and posts were deleted, but I think that the main problem here is that you're taking things WAY too seriously. You were, after all, the one who turned a reasonably civil thread into a flamewar.
The sad thing is, I have a very similar political stance to the one you have. You're one of the people making our viewpoint look bad. Stop.
That's all I'm going to say. Not discussing this further.

I will need to hunt down the recipe for exact details but it was a boxty with salmon and cream cheese/dill sauce. There were some onions, I think. It has been years since I have made it so I can't exactly recall. But I used to make it with scotch eggs on the side.
Smooth Criminal on the cello....yea....it's pretty awesome.
Cool

I have to disagree with you, Shiny. Mass murderers have a lot more blood on them.Damn, you look with the facial hair. Seriously.Look what?Oops. Just woke up from a nap.
You look good.
You say "good," I say "like a mass murderer." Same difference.
Thanks for the compliment, though.
You couldn't see me from the neck down.
Got a bathroom shelf set... I might be addicted to putting together furniture kits >.>
What? PMG doesn't do that for you while you recline on your dais eating bon-bons and being fanned? WTH?!?
Shiny: Did you find my post where the link to the multiple threads about the product line the illustration was from, above?

The big white box in the other room keeps buzzing at me. It's been doing that every couple of minutes for the past half hour. I think it wants something.
My wife fed it some wet clothes from the washer a while ago. I have no idea how it could still be hungry!
I'd better go see what it wants.
Paris, good allegory, and worthy of all men to be received.
Shiny: I think I'm glad I came along later. ;-)
Meh. I'm really only a danger to myself. And walls.I have a thing for dangerous men.Damn, you look with the facial hair. Seriously.Look what?Oops. Just woke up from a nap.

Hardcore.

And the best part is the slowly growing collection of allen wrenches, small wooden pegs, tiny nails, screws, and tiny bottles of wood glue!
Shiny: Did you find my post where the link to the multiple threads about the product line the illustration was from, above?No. Where was it?
Also, did you find the artist? If I don't have the name of the artist, I won't be able to file it properly.
Wow. I guess the post failed, as I can't find it anywhere now. So HERE it is again. The artist is apparently Alex Nuckols. Let me check the spelling on that.
EDIT: Yep, Alex Nuckols is the name I have.

Could be worse. You could have been nekkid while assembling the TV stand and cut something important.
lol. I want to get a Bushmaster and have "God" etched along the forestock.One of these days I am going to have to get off my monkey azz and navigate the bureaucratic morass of the People's Republic of Massachusetts and get me my Zombie Shotgun.
It's only a matter of time after all...
What is your preference? I enjoyed the Remington 870's that I owned very much, and I very much like my Mossberg 590. The bayonet could be handy in the forth coming troubles.
FHDM eating his heart out while I dance nekkid AGAIN for ToP.
Oh come ON!!!!!!
*sigh* Arden is being a brat. All.. *FINE* and *UGH*, with a couple of eye rolls. :P
Milk carton. It works.
How's that work? Was there some sort of checkpoint set up? I've driven between New York and Vermont, and New York and Pennsylvania with a gun in the car, and had zero problem.Travelling with guns caused a lot of drama up here in NY not too long ago. I would be very careful if you are carrying firearms between states.Damn I want to visit MB so badly. Getting cabin fever here in Iowa. How are the gun laws down there LPM. When I come down this fall I will probably stay a little while down there to do some job hunting.Gun Laws? As long as you are legally allowed to own one, then own one. Not sure about travling with them though...since each state is different
Well, I can tell you that they've(the cops) set up something in front of my apartment building. Once every few weeks, they do regular pull overs searching for guns and drugs. Drives my wife nuts because the angle of the flashing lights keeps her up at night.
The weather in Syracuse is absolutely f#&~ed.
Monday: -5*F, snowing
Tuesday: 10*F, snowing
Wednesday: 5*F, snowing
Thursday: 25*F, snowing
Friday: 60*F, clear
Saturday: 0*F, snowingI DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
Same thing here. Getting home from the supermarket, I was nearly hit by debris from near gale force winds accompanied by near freezing temps.

I'm hungry.

I have caught up to myself but I'm still 4 pages behind.
o_O
Well, this is Monkey 2.0. Kinder, gentler monkey. The dude who has no opinion on religion/politics/game design or avatar choices. I'm just gonna chill and try to focus on what's really important. Where my copy of Cheliax: Empire of Devils got to ... (seriously, I can't find that lil' hooker anywhere... really harshing my collector's buzz)Solnes' Chest? :PWell, that is important, especially for you, but I shall focus on my wife's, for verilly my wife's chest said unto me:
"You shall have no other chests before me. You shall not make for yourself a brassier in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to other chests or worship them; for I am your wife's chest, and I am a jealous chest"
Bravo sir! Classic!
970 post behind. wow.....Don't do it. Just start fresh from here like I just did.
LOL! I just reached your advice, and now I wish I had taken it. ;)

Mine was choking on a blanket, apparently. It stopped buzzing after I removed the blanket.

Thanks, Jyu1ch1. That really never happened. It was my way of relating to the presence of a recent visitor to the thread. I think that episode is over, for now, but I felt the need to say something.Good story, to bad to hear someone was being unreasonable.** spoiler omitted **
;3
I would have never guessed. Why paint me red and call me a wagon. XD
I liked it.
And Shiny --
How does it feel to actually be the teacher? ;-)

2. I'd like to know why people have been flaming me, insulting me, etc, in this thread and elsewhere. Of I am mistaken about something, perhaps people will explain it without derogatory remarks, , etc.I cannot say this loud enough:
Someone else may have may have already responded (still catching up), but Sebastian was basically in rare (not!) form.

My personal fave. Good weight, comfortable, and sturdy. Pistol grip it, add a tac-light, and watch the zombies go bye-bye.
And for added fun remember when you load your own..... coin shot does massive damage!
