So my grandmother passed away Wednesday night. The funeral is tomorrow, still not bad to lose your first grandparent at 38.
augh, deepest condolences. I pray she rests peacefully.
Keeping clothes on for this one, obviously.

Thanks guys. Tomorrow will be the worst of it. But she had a good long life.

Sorry for your loss, Justin. *hugs* and good luck getting through tomorrow.
Morning in this beautiful cool day. It's about 20 degree Celsius and not raining. It rained in night, however, and I wonder if it will rain later.
hi everyone
sorry for your loss, Justin

Ridin' on the City of New Orleans Illinois Central Monday morning rail
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
All along the southbound odyssey the train pulls out of Kankakee
And rolls along past houses farms and fields
Passing trains that have no name and graveyards full of old black men
And graveyards full of rusted automobiles
Good morning America how are you? Say, don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Dealin' cards with an old man in the club car
Penny a point, ain't no one keepin' score
Pass that paper bag that holds the bottle
And feel the wheels a rumbling neath the floor
And the sons of poor men porters and the sons of engineers
Ride their father's magic carpet made of steel
Mothers with their babes asleep rockin' to that gentle beat
And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel
Good morning America how are you? Say, don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
Night time on the City of New Orleans changing cars in Memphis Tennessee
Half way home we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again the passengers will please refrain
This train has got the disappearing railroad blues
Good morning America how are you? Say, don't you know me I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing, Justin.
Good luck with your move, Treppa!
I'll be finishing up a freelance assignment, and then I can start prepping my PFS scenarios for GenCon.
Hey aeglos! I can't remember if you said or not, but do you guys know if you're having a boy or a girl?
maybe we can see it by the next ultrasonic examination in two weeks
what will the second zombie-spawn be ?
tonight I will go to my old regular pub to play cards with some friends
does anyone of you know Skat ?
it is THE german card game. It has very strict rules (we are Germans), a lot of rules (we are Germans) and is very serious buisness over here. he game is higly strategic (we are Germans)
Skat is played by 3 players
starts with a strict rule who will deal cards and how to deal them, every player gets 10 cards, 2 cards are the skat and lie inthr middle
then (with strict rules) the bidding starts. you have to calculatethe the worth of your cards and bid on them
bidding starts from the backhand player to the fronthand until one quits and the middle hand can bid.
the lowest worth is 18 followed by 20, 22, zero (23), 24, 28, 30, 33, 35 (zero-hand) 36, 40, 44, 48(grandwith one or grand without one) 56 (zero-hand-overt) 72 and so forth
the player winning the bidding declares the game defining which colors are trump and plays against the other two, to win he has to get 60 points (unless he plays zero, then he wins if he loses without points)
or you play ramsch (if no one bids) then the worth of some cards are changed and the one with the least points wins
the bidding winner delacrs the game and the others can give Contra then he can give Re and the other Bocand he Hirsch
and then the game can start!
It is SERIOUS buisness

We do not yet know. The wife hasn't had another ultrasound since before we left Philly, and we've only just finally got added on to the health plan at my new job. She's making an appointment soon, then we'll find out - probably with a week or two.

Does anyone else, have that experience where life starts to become darker and continual upping my dose of anti-anxialitics have made you increasingly more apathetic to the world around you.
I've had that experience. It's no fun. In the end, I ended up braving the withdrawals and quitting cold turkey, like most of the other medications I've been on. Good luck, man.

back home,
and slightly drunk
Crappy crap-weather!
I decided to take a bike-ride to tire myself out a bit, but after about 15 minutes when I'd just started to get out of town I saw a lightning-bolt flash over the fields, so having not put on any wet weather gear I had to return home.
Ah well, at least I was out long enough to work up a sweat.

Back from board games and a dinner evening with friends.
We played a great Polish board game about standing in queues to shops during 70s-80s.
Also played Ankh-Morpork board game. Both times Dragon won with eight unrests on the map.
I MET DEATHQUAKER TODAY!!!!!!!
Is she as awesome IRL as on the boards.
In other news, we survived our moving sale and have enough money to buy gas to Colorado. But still too much to move. Time to visit Goodwill and the library.
And for eating we made a casserole out of macaroni, chicken, broccoli, tomatoes, onions and leek, covered with a sauce composed of cream and cheese, backed in the oven.

Problem is Shiney no option of going cold turkey with these meds. They affect my whole brain chemistry, it takes 3 months to adapt to them in the first place. Withdrawal symptoms include brain shivers (complete hell if you ever experienced them), crippling disorientation, day long nausea, day long dizziness, and this would likely happen for weeks after I stop taking them.

Bensodiazepines with a raised dose like you describe is a matter of slowly lowering. If you haven't been on it for years, it takes perhaps a month or so of even lowering, otherwise best practice is about ten percent of the time you have used it. This way you don't get too much anxiety due to withdrawal, and in weeks that are rough, you can let the dose stay one extra week at the previous level. This is a good reason not to use bensodiazepines for other than acute conditions.

Back from Mammoth Cave Park in Kentucky. Parents and sister went down the zip-lines there. Me, since I can't handle heights or fast drops like that, I went to one of the smaller cavern tours, Onyx Cave. Pretty awesome, got a cool tour guide guy who was great and had a small group so things didn't get noisy, crowded, or rushed.
Long drive - five hours one way from Chatt - but fun trip. Well, except for the last fifteen minutes of it and my dad's backseat driving.

Sounds like when I stopped taking the amphetamines I was proscribed for ADHD a few years back. I was on them for four months, and the withdrawals lasted for about another month, over the span of which I lost about 25 pounds from lack of food. Probably not the best decision on my part.

Went to the grocery store yesterday and got all the way to the checkout before realizing I had left my wallet at home. So they were kind enough to roll my basket into a cooler and let me go get the wallet. Took me about 20 minutes to get home and back.
Of course, I cannot be too upset. I had the wallet out at my desk purchasing stuff off Paizo.
