Two words: Drafting Table. We issue them so people can occasionally stand and work whilst recovering from less severe stuff. Countertops work too.
Good luck, DD!
Counter-tops are actually short for me. When can you have the drafting table here? :-)

We got some estimates, and we just don't think we can afford it. I think we are calling off the move.
I can appreciate the gallows humor of it :)

Home. After spending 4 hours under a house with a 1ft high crawlspace drilling and trenching I really don't feel like cooking right now. :/
But compared to what some of our FaWtLy brethren have going on, I'll just count my blessings and get in the kitchen.
I used to install cable when I lived in FL, so I have been there.

I may be done with posting around here for a while. This is quickly becoming a place that is no longer a fun safe place to hang.
I guess I'll stick with seeing you all on FB (sorry FHDM and BT) and maybe lurk here very periodically hoping that things will improve.
I don't think that I'm alone in this either -- I've seen a number of others of you have really limited yourselves on where you post and how often you hang out here compared to before.
(I'll still do the pbp though. Just need to avoid most of the rest of the messageboards.)
Oh well.

For Moff:
Maybe one day we'll have a separate section for the actual fun OTD threads. Then we can close up the pointless argument threads for good and let the trolls tear at their own flesh.

Good morning from the top of the world (its all a mater of perspective in a 4 dimensional universe).
It looks like winter had remembered that there was supposed to be an autumn and its not as cold this morning.
The Australian version of the Amazing race was on the other night...surprisingly I liked it, usually Australian copies of American shows suck more than a super-massive black-hole. The only problem was that they cloned Phil and gave him a Australian accent.

Don't let the trolls win. I avoid most of the political threads because life is to short to engage in pseudo arguments that are only designed to garner some reaction. Why deprive yourself of fun, frivolous nonsense like this thread just because of the obnoxious neighbors next door?

It's when the ones that should have been fun frivolous nonsense, or at least neutral topics, get invaded. I avoid the threads I know are gonna be bad, but sometimes there's spillover. :(
But I am not going anywhere. The trolls come and the trolls go, but I stay put. This would be easier if there were a section of the boards for silliness, but in the meantime I'm too stubborn to leave. :)

Isn't it though?? Love whomping things from time to time.
It's decidedly not my normal mode of play, but I'm finding it thoroughly satisfying so far. :)
Isn't it? I love playing a crude barbarian or nasty-tempered fighter every now and again, especially in shorter campaigns. Long term, I prefer good RP chars, but it's nice to slice'n'dice on occasion.
This character has plenty of depth outside of combat, too. She's a paladin, in a decidedly neutral-ish to evil society, so there will be plenty of opportunity for roleplay as she balances her divine mission against the predominant social norms-- and the generally chaotic nature of the rest of the party.
But in combat, she charges up to things on her trusty steed and ribbonizes them with a greatsword. It's *nice* to have the best damage output in the party, for a change. :)
Sounds like fun, what is your character?
She's a half-orc paladin of Tanagal (homebrew world-- goddess of justice, fire, and righteous anger) with a unicorn mount. She's the twin sister of a prominent NPC in our last long campaign, and this campaign is a continuation of that one, so she's got a pretty lengthy backstory already. :)

Moff, you will be missed here, but I will catch ya around a slice of PIE.
See, you're one of the ones who don't post as much any more. LPM, Flash, Jeremy, etc.... There are a number who have really dropped off quite a bit -- just makes the trolls a bit more noticable when there aren't as much of the rest of you around.

I know I stepped back my posting to this thread/Paizo a while back as well. I tend to stick to a few areas, post details about upcoming products, and otherwise try to ignore the rest. So I sympathize.

Indeed, this may have something to do with it. I propose an anti-troll initiative by getting people who rarely post to do so more often, not so much feeding the trolls as poisoning them.

Ouch. I'm sorry the move isn't going as planned. Whatever happens, I hope it winds up being okay in the long term.

That... would be awesome.
Of course, our current party consists of an elven sorcerer, a human cleric, a melee-focused human ranger, and my half-orc paladin. The only one of us who's really good at ranged combat is the sorcerer, and I can't see Pelori riding pillion when she can fly. ;)

I'm sorry I haven't been around much. :(
Things are just hectic, and when I get home I tend to be so tired that I watch a show and go to bed.I can attempt to be around more if it means that you will stay. :)
I do lurk, and read the thread everyday. I just don't seem to have the energy to post. If that makes sense.
LPM has been sick. Pneumonia. He is currently in bed, where he can be found when not at work.

People who need to cut back should eat more PIE and comment on more BLOG.
I will. I looked at your blog a little the other day. I really think that you and my wife could talk for hours -- you both seem to have very similar interests.
My only real problem is that blogs are blocked at work as is FB. So I only really get to check them out late at night.

Just like this, actually. Can anyone explain? I know it makes me seem like a noob.

I think that there are similar feelings on that. Truth is that there was a time when this thread (and all y'all) was something I really looked forward to and actually was energized being a part of. But things seem to be sapping the strength out of us.
I don't even have the slightest idea who Ron Paul is -- still. But based on a lot of the comments against him in that thread, he's got my vote. I mean if that's the calibur of people against him ...
LPM has been sick. Pneumonia. He is currently in bed, where he can be found when not at work.
Never had it, but it's not something to mess around with. Get to the doctor and get better. Outside of that, it's not important.

Most things on Google are pretty well locked down. Anything that might allow me to access or download documents is pretty well frowned upon here. I can get access, but it's kind of an effort and I'm definately not doing work when I do it.

We're still here though. But ya, it seems like FawTl has taken a hit lately. Lots of bad. But I know I still turn to you guys when I need a smile, or word of encouragement.
All of us at one time or another has taken a break, be it from the troll s or even each other, but we come back to FawtL, to each other. The friendships here are pretty strong.| Solnes |
I'm not happy about this whole LPM Pneumonia thing. He needs to really be careful. :(
He has gone to the doc and got some meds. Now he just has to rest when he can so that said meds can work. About 6 days into the meds now and he is good until about this time a day.
Its nice to hear his voice again. :)
