Yup, helps having a high pain tolerance and exercise is super helpful.
She walked up Queen Anne hill every day when she was pregnant with Crookshanks, and then had to walk two miles every day during her Tiny T-Rex pregnancy.
Edit: Also, we're weird that way, so results will vary.
Damn.
Please allow me to have children by your wife. Our get will be powerful and smart.
Cap seems like a really laid back guy, but I think you just asked for permission to bang his wife, and I'm pretty sure even he isn't gonna be cool with that. His family is the only thing I've ever seen him type excitedly about and with passion.
All I'm saying is if a guy who looks like Eddie Vedder drives up to your building with a crowbar in hand, you call the cops.
EDIT - Note, it is different than the crowbar I currently have in hand, being nekkid.
I'd never make it through Indiana with a brand new crowbar.

Things I realized about going to Ohio:
1. I will be the only person for hundreds of miles who says dude on the regular.
2. No more beach stuff in the grocery store. This is a thing in Florida. Ask Ambrosia or Tac. You walk into a Publix, Winn-Dixie, or any other grocery chain, and there's an aisle devoted to beach toys, beach balls, liferafts, swimsuits, etc. It's usually on the wall near the front, but sometimes it's about two away from the dog food.
3. No more Publix subs! This...this is pretty awful to lose.
4. I won't have to explain how I hate the beach despite it being free entertainment within a five minute drive. Nobody cares if you hate the lake
** spoiler omitted **
7. Amish people aren't far. Imma have butter you only dreamed of, unless you're captain yesterday.
It's the Midwest, everyone is twenty years behind the west and east coasts, so they just started saying "dude!" five years ago.

We pass Jacksonville on the way up to Ohio. After a lot of long internal debate, I decided I'm going to try to visit my ex-wife.
I haven't seen her in almost a year. The very thought of seeing her face-to-face...dude, emotions. Like so many. I miss her like a piece of my very soul was ripped out.
(We divorced 'cause I have lots of mental disorders, she was constantly sad taking care of me, and I didn't want her to hurt. In a manic assurance to myself that I was helping her, I pushed the divorce through quickly to make it hurt less for me. She had brought it up 2x in the past, and when she said she was still sad, even when I was working at the post office, and seeing group therapy and stuff...I just felt like I could never make her happy, and I really...just all I wanted, you know? I love my girlfriend, but...it's the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing one in potency. The saddest part is I know if she'd take me back, there's a 9/10 chance I'd work my ass off towards it.)
So Monday I'm stopping for lunch with her. My girlfriend is going to take the dogs and give us some privacy. I'm not gonna do anything. It's just...I'm moving to Ohio and I don't know when I'll see her again.
So, as nervous as I am for moving, and I really am (I hate uncertainty), and as scared as I am for a 15 hour drive, and as bubbling as my insides are at the thought that I won't know anyone personally except through my girlfriend's family for hundreds of miles away....that one lunch beats it all combined.
Is that f+!$ed up? It feels seriously f!!&ed up.
there are MILKMICE?
Fritzy, I got this one, you go get snout deep in milkmouse mammaries!

Not entirely. But she's still my best friend. And it may be years before I see her again, frankly. I don't know.

Childbirth without an epidural is barbaric! For God's sake we're in the 21st century!not every woman wants an epidural.
My ex boss is fairly tough - goes for kick boxing, yoga, scuba diving, and all that and that bit about non epidural didn't work out very well. But I'll say that she was pregnant at a rather late age, and that makes a LOT of difference. Even my mom is telling me to take an epidural.
And so far my colleagues who got pregnant have gone for it and are happier for that.

We have a new neighbor down the street, yesterday while I was walking the dog I noticed they were peaking through the blinds at us, so I smiled and waved.
Today they have homemade crosses on every window.

something sounds off here. You need anesthetic for those procedures. As awesome as your wife and son are, I dont see them calmly relaxing while someone slices into them. Was there local anesthetic?Welcome to U.S. Health Care -- any anaesthetic costs money, so insurers deny all such claims:
Impus Minor's surgery to screw his elbow back together after he broke his arm: Surgery approved, anaesthetic denied
NobodysWife's surgery to remove her gall bladder: Surgery approved, anaesthetic denied
As I said upthread, the people who make such decisions should spend their lives undergoing ALL medical treatments sans anaesthesia.As it is, if anaesthesia IS medically necessary, they deny it and you get to fight to get it paid for. If it's considered a "luxury"; for example, for childbirth or TS's treatment, they won't offer it, and if you ask for it, they may or may not pay for it.
Whee?
Not quite what I meant: The hospital provided the necessary anaesthetic for both procedures, then the insurance company attempted to refuse to pay for it, claiming it had been "optional" in both cases.
Yes, I won both times and got reimbursed, but having to fight for anaesthetic is just wrong.

Got through yesterday. My mom’s birthday falls about a month after her death anniversary, so naturally it’s her birthday when I fall apart. Every dang year. It’s been 11 years now. She would have been 67 yesterday.
And then I come on here to catch up on the thread and.... f*#*. Because I really wanted to spend my day dealing with ptsd flashbacks.... so. much. fun. :/
Guys, for what feels to me like the bajillionth time, although it’s probably only the second or third I’ve outright asked, if you’re going to discuss anaesthesia and childbirth, can you please put it behind a spoiler or at least put a content warning at the beginning of the post so I know to skip it if I’m not in a good place to process that stuff? I know it may seem annoying to you, but please do it anyways. Because I’m really tired of getting ambushed by stuff that leaves me curled up and shaking as I try once again to convince my screwed up brain that those are old memories that are not actually happening right now.
Damn. I'm sorry lynora. I'll flag the posts for spoilering.
So sorry! I'll try not to let it happen again! My apologies!
Reasons NobodysHome Never Thought He'd Return a Toaster:
- Because it's so loud it wakes up everyone in the house.
Seriously? Who thought that putting an alarm on a toaster was even a good idea? Much less a very LOUD alarm that you can't turn off.
And I'm sorry, Lynora. I obviously started it with my response to TS's post, so I'll be very wary about such things from here on out.
Sorry Lynora, that's awful!
For NH:
After having to start over three more times, I finally beat Groddo, pinged the Whisperer to death with Arcane Missiles thanks to my -1 spell cost, and have finally made it to Infinite Toki!
I am terrified.

I was going to PM you, but realized it's more of a PSA announcement.
The key was to use the hospital. I'd call the hospital and say, "So, the insurance company says this wasn't necessary, but you didn't even give me the option of not doing it. So they want to know xxx, yyy, and zzz; what forms do I have to fill out for you so that you can send them that information?"
Basically, insurance is usually denied because the insurance company claims something was unnecessary. Just hinting at the hospital that you don't recall requesting any optional procedures is usually enough for them to say, "That's all balderdash and nonsense! Of course it was necessary!"
Because really, no matter what you sign when you're admitted, the bottom line is that you're signing up to submit yourself to, "Whatever treatment the doctor deems necessary."
That necessary can get really, really ugly for the doctor if the insurance company is trying to charge you $5000 for something it says wasn't necessary, but that the doctor said was.

On a different note, it's Crookshanks first homecoming dance tonight.
Don't really care for her date but whatever I'll just show him my hammers, saws, chisels, and pictures of incredibly deep trenches and holes I've dug.
American Horror Story Cult is good, but very predictable so far.

They opened up a seasonal Halloween-Toy store at the old Toys R Us (it's literally called The Halloween-Toy Store).
The General suggested we call it Toys R Husk, after Zombie Toys R Us was deemed too cool sounding by the kids.

Rules questions everyone should have to answer.
"In Pathfinder, is it possible to be a Weretornado?" - Tiny T-Rex, trying to make a character.

"I'm going to tell everyone I'm a ninja! I'm just going to walk down the street and pull off my mask and say 'yo, I'm a ninja!', to everyone!" - Tiny T-Rex, forgoing subtlety altogether.

Sorry Lynora. The whole thing was my fault because I started it. Going to switch topic.
If you wanted a weretornado, then you'd need to let him play as an air elemental then contract Lycanthrophy
Ok, elementals are not immune to disease and curse which Lycanthrophy falls under so it is technically possible.
But again I think Lycanthtrophy is a bit too powerful for a player, and lets assume that the campaign progresses quickly and you get access to a 12th level cleric fast. So at low levels you essentially get 5 DR/silver, which is very helpful, then at high levels, when it comes to your character being uncontrollable, you don't get the drawbacks.
Which is pretty much meh. I am a firm believer of equity, if you want a benefit you should pay the price.

After having to start over three more times, I finally beat Groddo, pinged the Whisperer to death with Arcane Missiles thanks to my -1 spell cost, and have finally made it to Infinite Toki!
I am terrified.
Infinite Toki honestly isn't a hard boss to fight. Sure she gets some cheaty stuff but that was a boss I cleared on the first try.
If you want really undignified deaths, try Tess's hero power at reduced cost, and then I killed the whisperer on the first turn with echoed tiny rocks.

Aaaaaaaand...fail!
I was doing so well until she reset the game, then I couldn't keep her minions off the board and she ended up clobbering me with some 10-attack monstrosity. Grrr, I give up. Would you beat her for me when you visit next month? Pretty please, I'll bake cookies for you. Or something!

Thanks for being so understanding y’all <3
NH, what brand of toaster? Because I have this annoying habit of walking away and forgetting I made toast, so that alarm function has some appeal.... :P
So first day back and I have a famous musician coming in tonight. he has quite the entourage with him as well. They are not here yet but they have a pretty large block saved for them.
So whose going to be playing kingmaker? (MMORPG not the module.)
Well if they have servers and people are playing we need to coordinate a Paizo server for the FAWTL folks.
No interest in Kingmaker myself.
That looks yummy.

Body combat session is an odd euphemism... I need to stop freehold is rubbing off on me.
Well some of the band crew is here. its kind of confusing and a little funny. They just rolled a treadmill into one of the rooms. really nice looking one.
Oh and now one of those exercise bikes that don't go anywhere.
Its funny we have all that stuff in our gym already but hey nothing like having your own I guess.

Example of a body combat class - so you don't misunderstand.
Mind you the video is 60 min long so unless you wanted to exercise...you probably don't need to watch the whole of it.
I guess if you're doing it competitively you'd want to get your own gear. Or maybe they went to a place that didn't have a gym/gym facilities weren't good.
Finished running. For some weird reason the trip to the next station always takes longer then the trip back. I think subconsciously I'm reserving energy for the return trip. But on the trip back I sort of put myself on a faster pace. And I still took a break at the half way mark. I really should try to kick myself of the habit of doing that.
