I haven't seen so many beautiful women in such short time for ages...
Are you planning a princess-napping and then ambush the inevitable knightly rescuers for their loot?
Is it the time for my Middle Age Crisis already?
What does that translate to in dragon age categories?

LOL. I'm not sure whether to appreciate the kindness, or question just HOW incompetent you think I am that I'm going to seriously injure myself insulating and drywalling my garage.
That drywall, it can be deadly! Especially when wet!
Or even better, he's using spray-in insulation, and the gun is just locked in the on position, there's a person-sized lump on the floor partially covered in spray foam, and the gun is just flying around the room like an out of control balloon...
It sounds like prospective contractors taking their final exam before graduation at the Midvale School for the Gifted.
Or maybe a typical season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

...Rents are significantly lower. Restaurants are quite a bit cheaper. going out someplace nice for New Year's Eve is about half the price it is here. Private school tuition is about half what is here. Also no state income tax like California does and sales tax is a couple of percent lower.How are living expenses in Dallas in comparison to California (besides "lower!") and Whingey Wizard's work options?Had my fourth interview with the school in Dallas this morning, and I now have an offer and a contract sitting in my inbox waiting for a decision.
Technically 3k annually less than my current base salary, but for fewer hours and a lot less work, responsibility and stress (just teacher. Not director, not admissions, etc.). Plus tuition is half of our current school, so it means more money in my paycheck.
I want to accept, but it's a family decision.And Texas has cheaper gasoline, cheaper utilities like electricity (and a more stable power grid without rolling black/brownouts every summer), etc, etc, etc. Texas does have a lot of good things going for it. But it's still Texas.
From a financial standpoint, this is just a no-brainer. But the kids don't know nor care (nor should they) about the money aspects. Dallas-Ft Worth has a pretty good job market going right now. Whingey would/could/should probably be able to find something appropriate for him relatively soon (I feel like I threw enough qualifiers at that, but I do believe it to be true, and belief is all that matters, facts be damned (Vany, the facts are on your side on this one!) (Oh! Cool!)).
The hard part, like LM already mentioned...it's the friends and family issue. Granted, Skype/similar takes some of the sting out, but there's more to it than that. Aging parents and their care can be a huge consideration (we have a nightmare coming for that one). What the Texas schools are going to try to teach the youngin's that
Apparently hit the quote limit.
Anyway... I am not opposed to different beliefs being taught in school, but I do feel that if one belief system is taught all of them should be taught as well. That way kids can make an informed decision, or at the very least know what people around the world believe.That's my two cents. Anything more and I'd probs get the ban hammer.

On a different note. I just lost power thanks to a gully washer of a thunderstorm. I can't see past the end of the apartment complex.Well, the rain stopped, maybe I'll get power here soon.
And we've got power again!

I have been avoiding Midlife Crisis for years.
In large part due to laziness, anxiety, and introvert nature.

I'm not Catholic (I'm sure you're all aghast), but if I could afford it I'd send both my kids to Saint Mary's College. Not only did they have a fantastic science department, but they required two years of religious study, especially focusing on comparative religion.
Because if you can't defend your own faith against a cogent, well-reasoned counterargument without resorting to name-calling, violence, or denial, do you really have faith?

So yeah, there's got to be some Apple thing going on. Ever since I switched to an iPhone I'm getting 3-4 junk calls a day. That may not sound like much, but it's infinite times as many as I got on my flip phone... and they're all Apple-based calls (you can tell), so bleah.
Hope your power stays on.

I don't have faith and I don't really care. I think everyone can believe in whoever/whatever they want so long as they don't start harming others or themselves because of the said faith.
Of course that could be due to my Mom trying to shove down all kinds of customs down my throat.

Hack!
One of the reasons we regard the Middle Ages as being the sweaty armpit of history is rather simple.They weren't as big on PR and self-promotion as the Renaissance! ^^'

There are too many belief systems to be taught. Even for Christians there are many different sects. Catholics, Protestants, Eastern Orthodox Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy to mention a few.
People even worship trees!

Get outta my onions, you young whippersnapper!
TRUE STORY: My neighbor down the street, an avid octogenarian gardener, invited me to see his newly-renovated back yard garden. As he waved his arm across a huge swath of soil and said, "This all used to be onions," I succeeded on my Diplomacy check and did not fall over laughing.

Lawyers are a special kind of demon. Fortunately they hate getting whacked by a flaming wet mop.I can understand the principle of needing a house code, especially in cities where a fire or something could spread rapidly, but denying a permit to a house owner on the grounds of not being a professional seems a bit illegal here in the US.
It would be a bit like saying you can't change your car wheel or brakes if you aren't a professional mechanicThink "lawyer".
"Oh, yes. It's perfectly legal for you to change your brakes. You just need to apply for this permit."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Your permit was denied. No, we don't have an explanation. If you want, you can file an appeal and we'll get to it in 6 months."Banning through red tape, rather than legal grounds.
Lawyers would be devils, not demons, since I believe the class requires a lawful alignment.
It's amazing how quickly the day flies by when you're doing something you love.
I'm looking at my hours and I'm always surprised by how many I have.
But, I'm also diligent, so no mistakes on the paperwork.

Also how can a mop be flaming and wet at the same time, unless doused with oil?
Napalm.

Today I built a second wall behind the first and then we started putting caps on the first wall.
The caps it turns out are 60 pounds each.
I'm either going to be super ripped or need bionic arms after this.
Hopefully a little bit of both.

Since when have lawyers actually been interested in upholding the law?
Have I been transported to a opposite dimension in my sleep again?|

I believe it says so in the class description. But anyway, I heard that someone got barred from studying law after he used his Dad's identification card to get discounted movie tickets(since his Dad was under senior price).
Something about unsuitability of character etc.
But to get into Singapore law Skool (recognized by SG govt) is a pain. You have to go for a written test and interviews. I wouldn't be surprised if the written test involved essays on why you want to study law, and the interview vets your character.

I didn't say openly break the law...
It's all within the letter of the law. Whether it's within the spirit of it is where the ambiguity lies.
Point taken?
maybe NE then.would that make them Daemons?

Lawful. Whether the last part is G, N or E is questionable.
And Lawyers can't all be labeled as E, or that would be like saying the guy walking down the street has an E for alignment(which may or may not be true). Lawyers are people too and have varying alignments!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Remember that the Lawful alignment is not necessarily tied to being in accordance with the law of the land. It's more about sticking to a personal code and behaving in a pre-determined, predictable, and/or steady manner.
Lawyers tend to be stereotypically identified as Lawful Evil because they are characterized as playing by rules - though often more their own than anything else - and working to twist and interpret rules and regulations to their benefit while technically remaining within the expected and provided limitations.
GO TEAM CHAOS!
I would say so yes, given how much you claim to prize following instructions and sticking to rules, especially within cooperative settings like playing D&D/Pathfinder.
