Nekkid frivolous writing for top. :)
Agh! I don't know what's gotten into me. I usually love writing the character journals, but I'm getting all maudlin over this one. Probably cause it's the last one. And there's just so darn much to cover.
Although it does feel good to be doing something so frivolous for a change. :)
WAIT!!! Did you just say D&D is frivolous?!?!? ;)
And dinner will be here shortly. Yay!

And presuming I ever finish this blog post I get to start working on my next character. Debating between paladin and fighter. I'd like to play a paladin since the only time I did so before was an utter train wreck, but I might get into alignment trouble again since I have this tendency to play lawful practical instead of lawful good.

Well, that's the problem....

Obviously having a machine sucking boob has some negatives also...
Anyhow worked for her and it's a lot better than pre-made stuff.

The first few weeks are tough, but it doesn't last too long. How often are you feeding?I hope adjustment and success is forthcoming. Wish I could have a beer, but things are just too damn difficult right now.Rough day. Charlie is definitely a challenge. But well worth it.AZ: I came over here looking for you! You'll make the adjustment. Have a virtual chalice of Stella on me.Well, that's the problem....

Our first child caused my wife to bleed. She wasn't producing enough milk at the time and our son was turning her breast inside out. She had the whole post-pardem depression (sp?) going on along with lack of sleep along with feeling defective. Our son wasn't getting the nourishment he needed and the whole ordeal was destroying my wife. After struggling with this for a little over a week, we went back to the lactation consultant. She bottle fed our son and he literally turned the nipple on the bottle inside out. She told us that she had never seen a child suck that hard before.
We formula fed pretty much from that point on. We were able to do shifts which allowed us to get some sleep. She was no longer bleeding or in pain. She didn't stopped hating our child.
And our son is one of the smartest in his class, one of the youngest in his class, and one of the most caring children I've ever seen.
In the end -- do what you need to for your sanity and your wife's sanity. If you can't do that, you can't help your child.
And I really do know what you're going through -- the man is really kind of helpless with this. All you can do is watch (and pray). It sucks. Hang in there and let her know that she isn't defective if she cannot breastfeed this child.
And let her know that you are there and are her support. (And that she is not alone in this.)
Good luck.
Final course grade, not objective test grade, right? Sorry, I can only understand 100% in a math course. There is no perfection in the human arts and sciences. Now, if they have to subtract 1% after grading because they graded it 100%, then they are just lazy f@+%ers who didn't grade it well the first time around and were too lazy to regrade it.Reminds me of the frustration I got when my final grade for Greek & Roman Mythology back in high school was 99%.
:S
That final exam weighed me to 99% for the course. I did all of my homework and reading assignments and I do not recall providing anything erroneous. I was really big into Greek & Roman mythology (and astronomy) back in high school. I wish I retained all of that now in the same detail I knew then.
I know that. Poor choice of words on that on my part. I'm just trying to figure out if it's ok for a good character to summon an evil outsider. It seems to be implied that this is "bad", but I don't understand why.
Perhaps a Faustian bargain is in order? ;-)
I got an email from Sara Marie...
Shhhh... Top secret.

Yes. I need employment making filthy lucre.
I heard a rumor that a significant something by a significant Fawtly would soon be coming to a significant site. Feel free to spread this significant rumor!
I thought that rumor was <redacted>?
OK, downed some Aleve and Tylenol on top of Motrin. Washed down with caffeine FTW. Let's see if it helps.
Thanks to everyone for advice and sympathy. 'Tis appreciated! *hugs*
Ugh...I didn't read through the entire thread but it sounds like you might have a migraine? Take care and I hope that helps.
I have always enjoyed Excedrin Extra Strength but I know that doesn't help everyone.
No, it's an unknown thing.

lol. Nice comeback. :)
I finished the blog and updated the character sheet and put it away. I feel kinda sad now. We'll still check in on these characters' progress through the epic levels from time to time, but they won't be the main game anymore. After three years that just seems weird. I've never actually finished a campaign before.

Sometimes I get sooooooooooooooooooooooooo hungry while driving through Houston...I've used this for roasts in the crock pot, not stew, but a shot of whiskey with beef makes it come out super tender, and the alcohol burns off. Fall apart on the plate tender.That's right, people, stew in your envy.
STEW!
Actually, we're having stew for dinner.
Well, we're actually having red curried beef, but we're kind of cooking it like a stew. It's so hard to get stew beef to come out tender.
I usually cook something for our Friday night games. :) Stop in sometime!
I went with Big Trouble in Little China as part of 80's movie weekend.
"When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if you paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have you paid your dues, Jack? Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Snow ...
Why'd it have to be snow?
Really, with Lupercalia behind us and Ostara staring us in the face why does the Dihydrogenmonoxide stubbornly retain its crystalline solid form? We had such a nice Nor'Easter going, driving rain, the kind of rain that wakes crocii from their slumber. Now I wake up to a monochromatic vista, yet again.
*sigh*
Back to bed methinks ....
Yup
*yawn*

Sorry to hear about the troubles, AZ.
The best benefit of pumping is that you can refrigerate the milk and warm it up in the middle of the night. Heck, the hospital even had us keep a stock of it frozen for easy longer-term storage.
Pumping milk and setting it aside allows you and your wife take turns feeding the little zombie, so at least one of you is getting some rest.
I wish you three the best of luck. The first few days are really challenging. Things will get a little easier when he's sleeping through the night. Just try to be patient with him, with each other, and with yourselves.
No thanks. It's peaceful and quiet, I've posted in the PbP, and the coffee is ready. I see no sure way a few kids would enhance this experience.
Good Lord. You can get BttTastebuds in London.

Saw the season finale of "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" last night. I'm really sorry I missed the first one. Definitely going back to get the old episodes.
I also watched the sneak preview of "Camelot" on Starz. Looks great. New episode on April 2nd!

Yes! I've been looking for an excuse to get a NetFlix account. This would be the perfect argument to convince my wife! ;-P
And for clarification "the first one" is "Spartacus: Blood and Sand".
Maybe I'm being mean by going 0 instead of 1, but they tend to inflate grades. Here's the thing: I've used a spread of five in the past, I think that's too fiddly for them. Many can't or won't bother to distinguish between 5 levels of quality. Also, I don't want 100 to be possible on a non-objective assignment.On my high school chemistry research paper, after all his comments was:
-1% because there's no such thing as a perfect paper!
Total: 99%
What a dick move!!!!
I can't believe what I just found out. :O
Like every other morning, I parked my car outside the shipyard at 0600 on Madison Avenue next to the Effingham Plaza Apartments and then walk into the yard to get some exercise.
When I walked to my car this afternoon at about 1620, I noticed there was a news van with a tall antenna with a dish on top across the street from my car. There was also a tripod (sans camera) set up in the yard next to the van. There was another van parked a little behind my car and while I sat in my car another van pulled up and parked on the other side of the road.
I was really curious as to what brought these news vans out here and figured maybe it had to do with the really high winds we had in the area.
So, I checked the net after getting home.
Holy crap was I wrong. Here is the real reason they were there...
That cop car in the pics was probably parked 20 feet in front of my car. :O
Wow..Frightening!
Gaming question (that I didn't want to the mess up there since it really is more of an opinion question)...

I would say they are honored to work temporarily for someone of their alignment in the endless struggle between good and evil and then return to their correct plane of existence.

I meant to respond to this, earlier, but I agree with FHDM.
Might make for an interesting story line if the PCs faced a foe that could actually destroy an outsider in some way. Would the summoner find it more difficult to bring in new help, once word got out that those who answer his/her call never come back?
Y'all have been busy!
Me, I spent the last two days learning how to fire my employees. (Mandatory supervisory training in performance management and disciplinary processes for all the supervisors and managers in my library.)
What's up here?

My weekend's starting okay. There's coffee, and muffins, and laundry is underway. Next up, catching up on work that piled up while I was off in training-world. :P (SO grateful to be able to bring the laptop home and do stuff rather than having to actually go in to the office to catch up on weekends when I need to do that.)
