Woot! We kicked beholder....well, they don't really have butts, but you get the idea. :)
It was absolutely freakish. We made all of our saves, and the beholder couldn't roll a to-hit for anything. So instead of a tpk we're actually rested and ready for the next big battle. Only one more session and we're through this module, and barring anything truly unforeseen the characters finally get to go back to their home plane.Yep, there's nothing like a night of gaming to distract one from stress.
Nothing beats a well timed happy ending at the end of a grueling adventure.
Did that in the military for spare cash to buy WoD suppliments and beer with. It gets old after a while. Also, you have to have clean screened blood. No diseases, no illegal drugs.The other day, someone pitched the idea about donating plasma twice a week. $30 a visit. Just an hour's of my time. Hmmm...
Check, check, and check. As skeptical and surprised some of you may be, I've a complete virgin teetotaler when it comes to illicit drugs. My insanity is natural.
Oh, wait. I'm not insane. I'm eccentric.
Cool! You're rich?

For the curious yet timid.
You saved for nothing.
I should buy that domain. Just because.

Crap! I'm mentally and emotionally exhausted, and I can't sleep, and I've got a ton of yard work to do tomorrow. Crap!

Oh, and the woman that did my blood tests was a sadist, she had to be. I am scared of needles yes, but have had tests done that didn't bother me. This woman dug for a non-existent vein for like....10min! Ugh!
True story:
Tech 1: Roll up your sleeve, we need to do a blood draw.
*does so*
Tech 1: Oh my god, you have the best veins I have ever seen. This is going to be so easy... Donna! Come over here and check out these veins!
Tech 2: Mmm. Those are the most beautiful veins I've ever seen. I wish everyone had veins like those.
Tech 1: I know, I've never seen such beautiful veins.

Now, I'm just curious Pat, but what do you consider to be "humid"? 50%? 60%? Inquiring zombies want to know.
For me, having grown up and lived most of my life in Louisiana, I don't consider it to be humid until it gets above 90%. So, for those who grew up anyplace other than the ass-crack of a swamp, what about you?

Anyway, how's it going? What did I miss?
Well, Mike and Darlene were shocked, upon returning from their honeymoon, to find that their dream home had been bulldozed and replaced with a dentist's office. Across town, Sidney and Barlow were preparing for their epic, cross-country road trip, unaware of the horrors awaiting them. Meanwhile, Vincent was becoming concerned about the fungal growth....No, wait! That's my soap opera.

Venice was about 90%, and 95 degrees, but then it is also the ass-crack of a swamp (and occupies the center of a lagoon), so I guess that fits. Remind me not to go to New Orleans in summer.
Goooooooooooooooooooood morning Fawltyhouse!!!
Not much to discuss today. Potentially having lunch with a friend today and playing D&D tonight. Planning to pick up stuff from FLGS tomorrow and hang out with some of the manhattan Paizo-addicts. May also get some comics. The ride in today was excellent because I filled up my tires with some air for free at the local bike shop and realized just how much extra work I was doing pedaling- I shaved off a good 5 minutes and was able to get some breakfast before going in to work today. Back on full time vegetarian, but I noticed my body looks different in the mirror- have I lost even more weight? I can't tell, but I feel a bit less doughy/cuddly lately. Maybe it's time to start working out?
Also, verified with my dad yesterday that I will be down by his way in a few weeks. I'm getting less apprehesive and more excited about that. I can't wait to hit the road and go on a wild con party trip and then see my friend who I have not seen in the 10 years I have known her and meet her family and then see my own family. It's going to be something close to epic.
Will I be able to make it to Myrtle Beach? Probably not. But it'll be good to be with in spittin'/shoutin' range.
It's Tuesday. I get to play 3.5 tonite. I've had breakfast. Dbase auditing is caught up. I'll be on vacation next week and the week after.
Life is good.

I had my fear of needles beaten out of me earlier this year. I have the 'nice veins' followed by 'oops - but they roll so much, let's try the back of your hands. some more'. No fear, but I hate hemotologists that refuse to use my arms.
Good morning, Fawtlos.

Humid for me is when I can sit still and sweat rivers off me. When doing any sort of work is completely enervating. I dont know what the humidity scale really is (today is actually a bit better) but our dewpoint is in the Seventies, our temps are in the nineties and there is a visible haze to the air. It's quite disgusting. I don't think I would really enjoy Louisiana in the summer, but I think it also has to do with what you are used to. I heard Jeremy complaining about 77 degrees the other day, which to me seems reasonable. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
A very good morning to you all, I've been busy this morning. I went to go see two of my former customers after dropping Solnes off to work. So that's two accounts they lost. I'm not petty, I just think that these people deserve better for their money than that POS company. LOL
So, where are they going to go in the interim until you pick up the slack elsewhere?

Colorado Springs is considered "high desert". It's one of the only places I've ever been where you can actually see it raining and evaporating before it hits the ground. (Doesn't happen all the time, but often enough.) Although this week isn't the best week to compare that to as it's supposed to rain most of this week. That should put the humidity level up to around 40% which is incredibly humid for us.

Neat. What's that actually look like?

I live in the north, anything approaching real heat is hard to deal with. But I'm pretty used to the cold. I remember growing up it getting below -40 C. I remember it so vividly because they would cancel school, it was apparently a health hazard to even have the kids wait for the bus out in that cold. We'd just have a snow day and play outside regardless. One year when it got that cold one of the neighbors cattle froze solid. Cold doesn't bother me, heat bothers me.
Hello and good morning! I'm back. Had fun, watched movies, socialized and drank ourselves silly.
There's beer, Smirnoff and cake left in the fridge.
Scratch that, there's only beer left in the fridge.

Colorado Springs is considered "high desert". It's one of the only places I've ever been where you can actually see it raining and evaporating before it hits the ground.
We have what they call "scattered showers". And it really is that. When I used to live in the Chicagoland area, I could predict the weather. I could wake up and say "it's going to rain" and it did -- for three days. If it was raining at my house, you could be pretty sure that it was raining for the most part over anything and everything in a 100 mile radius. (Obviously not exactly -- unless a 100 mile radius storm just magically appeared over my house every time it rained -- but you get the idea.)
Here, you can see a storm cloud somewhere in the city and you can generally pretty well tell where in the city it is raining at that moment. If it is evaporating before it hits the ground, you can see the storm cloud and it looks a bit like blue mist that gradually gets less the closer to the ground you look. It's not really quite as spectacular as it sounds.
What I find interesting is that we have a lot more actual rainfall than some other arid places -- like San Diego -- be we are generally a LOT less humid. I don't know anyone here that owns a hair dryer. If you have short hair, your hair will be dried before you get dressed after a shower. If you have long hair, it will be dry 10 minutes after you get dressed.
Of course, now I'm used to it. I feel like I'm swimming in anything that has a humidity factor of 60% or more.

Ah yes, I remember those days with great fondness....
Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water coloured memories of the way we were.
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another for the way we were....

Thank you for the description, Moff. I feel like I'm there to see it.
My hair takes forever to dry. I can take a shower at eight and wake up at eight the next morning and my hair is still somewhat damp.

I think it depends on how much hair you have. Mine is pretty thick and goes halfway down my back. I'm the same as you.

Mine's 40 inches of "what was my plan again?" It's straight but very porous. If I'm in a room with smoke, people hours later hit me up for a cigarette and don't believe me when I tell them I don't smoke.
