Took calico and fluffernutter to the vet.
You are all alone in the house...
...ignore the snickering coming from the basement...Yep! Father of the Year, here I come!

If not, I might be available for either troglodyte coaching or child-torment on short notice.
(I also do pet sitting on the side).

I think coldness breeds lethargy. I've been lurking around for days but haven't had the concentration to post.
Here's a picture of Happy things!
The shiroi koibito park reminds me of Disneyland for some reason, like that magical, fantastic feel.

Impus Major was a villain material long before that.
Although whatever happens now can shape what kind of villain he will be...
The funniest thing is, I *could* put in a remotely-activated sound system in Whimseyshire so there was mysterious cackling coming from there, but considering last time the kids were home alone and got scared they barricaded themselves in the kitchen and armed themselves with around 20 kitchen knives, my feeling is that for their own safety I'm just keeping it mildly-threatening and low-key.
My kids are Home Alone meets The Shining.

Oh, and Proud Parent Moment #1156:
Unbeknownst to either me or NobodysWife, the kids ran off to get flowers for her on Mother's Day. Knowing her well, they bought her black lilies. She was delighted. She was even more delighted with their description of their interaction with the shopkeep.
"Don't you want something to brighten it up?"
"No."
"But... it's just black flowers."
"Yep."
"And there's nothing filling in the bouquet. They look kind of scraggly, and black, and dead."
"Yep. We'll take it."
Apparently they presented such a creepy unified front that the florist relented. And NobodysWife got a bouquet that she LOVES.

I'm hoping for Penzance, but I'm pretty sure they're too young for that to be appreciated.why does everyone hate him again?All I want to know is: How much did Impus Major do before this, to get himself banned from mentioning a celebrity chef?It's Guy Fieri, once is enough.He was Fronkensteened together from GM's leftover Pontiac parts bins.
I was thinking of something else, but Galavant works too.The Unsinkable VIICan the figurehead at the prow be carved to resemble Debbie Reynolds? Can the ship be haunted/cursed so that crew members and passengers will randomly break into a musical?So basically the pirates from Galavant?
You know, if you combined the Galavant pirates with Pirates of the Caribbean II, you might actually have a decent movie. I would watch singing, dancing zombie pirates in a heartbeat. And organize the first fan con.
My kids love Penzance, but my kids are weird. Last year, Teensy Valeros got in trouble at school for standing on two chairs with a fruit knife raised over his head and singing "O better far to live and die" at the top of his lungs.

I saw her live onstage in the revival tour when I was in college. She was in her sixties then and could still sing and dance better than most people can in their twenties.
First off:
Yay Kitty!

I think coldness breeds lethargy....
Might do so...
I seem to remember that people do "generally" (with variations such as regional temperature norms, occupation, overall health and the like) do worse at most activities during temperatur spikes (such as heatwaves).

Yaaaaaaay! =)

Speaking personally, I do better at active activities when it's warmer and cold makes me sleepy and less willing to move around and do things. I flip back to lethargic if it gets hot enough, but it's a restless kind of lethargy, not the kind that makes me want to snooze. Especially grouch-inducing when it happens while I'm trying to sleep.

Woohoo! Just got a text from my sister, Mom's surgery "went great! They got it all and they didn't have to go into her forehead. We'll be heading home soon! :) "
They were originally thinking they might have to do up to three surgeries to get it all.

Cold drains my energy... And I get bus sick on bus when trying to post on phone, so I prefer to snooze it off.
Also my BF is a bad influence. He just wants to lie around in bed and refuse to budge..
Great to hear on your mom, LM!
Did Hi say anything about me?

Yup the "too hot to sleep" heat is all to familiar, even up here.
Think is something of a environmental adaption thing, depending on were you live on earth (ie distance to the equator, humidity, that stuff), you kind of have a "ideal room temperatur".
Deviation from it messes with your body. Maybe a blood-flow decrease, from body core to periferi in case of cold, and reversed in case of excess heat.
I don't know, I'm not a biologist, just a failed historian :P

Nothing better then lounging in bed, nuzzling your favorite furry companion ^^Woohoo! Just got a text from my sister, Mom's surgery "went great! They got it all and they didn't have to go into her forehead. We'll be heading home soon! :) "

They're leaving me all by myself tomorrow, all day.
Probably shouldn't throw a party in the job trailer...

Trying to extract information from Hi is even more difficult than taking candy from a toddler. Our *entire* description of Singapore was pretty much, "Yeah, I went on a 10 km hike on my very first day in really crappy shoes, and I was on pain meds because of my back so by the time I actually felt that something was wrong with my feet the blisters had , so that kind impacted the Singapore part of the trip..."
No pictures, no graphic descriptions (other than the blisters), no long tales.
We're hoping to get him drunker this week so he talks more. :-P
But if it makes you feel any better, he was in Japan for what? 7 weeks? And our ENTIRE description of Japan from him was a SINGLE place that apparently had eggs that were cooked in the hot springs.
The eggs? We got 10-15 minutes about how good the eggs were! :-P
I thrive on sunlight, doesn't matter if it's hot or cold as long as it's sunny outside.

I am glad that your Mom is doing well. My Mom is also glad that your Mom is doing well.
Captain Yesterday's work terminology of the day, so you know I'm not making it up.
Two Inch Lifts.
No, it's not shoes, it's just putting down two inches of gravel and compacting it.
Then repeat it until you have 12 inches (of compacted gravel).
Apparently I'm really good at it.

I said, "So, from the fact that you're not talking about Mort at all I assume you two didn't get along all that well?"
"No, we got along just fine."And yep. He just stopped talking. Then started talking about the d**ned eggs.
Hi can be... difficult.
Don't worry... we'll get more dirt... eventually.
Saturday is ribs.
OK. We have just encountered massive AP stupidity, and we need to know how other GMs manage it:
If you look at RAW, even a large metropolis won't have magic items useful to the party once they hit level 9 or so: The maximum base value for a major metropolis is 16,000 gold pieces, and you're sure as heck not going to roll PC-specific gear using the random tables, so that +1 Holy sword you wanted? Sorry! Not in stock!
So what do other GMs do? I mean, APs go up to 14th-16th level, giving the PCs hundreds of thousands of gold that they can't actually spend on any items worth more than 16,000 gp. And heck, in my Serpent's Skull game the *only* town near them is Eledir with a base value of 4,000 gp.
So, the PCs go to 16th level, but they're never allowed to buy anything worth over 4,000 gp? Oh, THAT'S going to go over well.
I figured I'd ask here with a "friendly" crowd first before going to the Rules forums with a big WTF?
(I never paid attention to base value when I ran, but now that Shiro's trying to write a rules-legal AP, he's asking, "WTH?!?!?")
