CH, let's do this!
It will be almost as much fun as when we ran around the country burglarizing the houses of FAWTLies who were at PaizoCon and stealing their RPG books.
No one ever caught on to that.

I have no savings and most of the time my account contains pennies, otherwise I could be more interested in that fact...The word we would use is "merging."
I hope the new management are not jerks. I've known some people who have wound up with a bank that they hate because their old one got bought out.
I have always tried to use small local banks, and back in the late 80's and early 90's I went through ~ 6 buyouts IIRC. Everyone of them went poorly from my perspective.
I hope Drejk has a much better experience.

I'd love to have more time to game.
Indeed!

Oh, they're serving wine and potato chips after work. Guess I'll go take some just to cheer myself up. In other news, my next Kingmaker session is this week's saturday, and I need to plan one of the most awesome NPCs yet for that session to fill in the spot of a missing player. Can't help but feel excited when I finally get to introduce the party to their awesome Ranger's even more awesome older sister, who just happens to be a badass Pistolero Gunslinger. And what better timing than when they actually need someone to fill in the 4th player slot?
Cool, but I would be careful not to overshadow the PCs with too cool of an NPC. ;)

I have to regularly look up my own house rules. *sigh*.Playing my new Sorc has reminded me just how long it's been since I played regularly, prior to this past year when I started up my new group. Back in '07-'08 when I was running Savage Tide, I used to be able to rattle off game information off the top of my head, knew most commonly used spells' details by memory and could quickly learn and remember the ones I was unfamiliar with, and otherwise was a font of game-related but otherwise useless trivia.
Three years later I can barely remember half of it, and I find myself checking back to the books constantly, having to look things up I thought I had memorized, and having to make myself notes as to how feats/spells/class abilities/etc. work rather than seeing the name and being able to recall "Oh yeah, that does _____".
My memory's never been stellar, but I think it's gotten worse -_-
It doesn't get any easier as you get older either. :(

There is something fundamentally wrong when I find out about my Mother-In-Law in an accident on FaWtL's thread. Obviously, it's all my husband's fault. He may need to be "reminded."
Oh, and I ordered my dad's Christmas gift from Amazon. I thought I was ordering 2 bottles of soap (yes, he wanted just soap). I actually ordered 2 "3 packs." ... At least he'll be clean and not run out for a while? >.<

And now I'm in a bit of a predicament. My sore throat's gotten worse, and I most likely have a flu. However, my boss intended to listen in on my calls tomorrow. I do not want my condition to turn worse nor do I need the extra stress. On the other hand, I don't want her suspecting me intentionally bailing out by calling in sick. What should I do?!
