You've really got to wonder how much sense those players have. At the same time though, that sounds like one crazy vicious encounter for a party of level 4 adventurers. And each time it gets worse, as their previous characters get added to their foes. :PI got nothin'. I thought my original Rise of the Runelords group was bad. One of them committed suicide after drinking from the waters of Lamashtu on the altar in the Catacombs of Wrath and another one single-handedly killed the rest of the party after getting splashed with the liquid from the runewell. They've got nothing on that group.So, I've complained over and over again in multiple threads about my kids' lack of tactics.
But if you read through KSB Snow Owl's two obituaries for Curse of the Crimson Throne, you have to admit, the kids have more sense than some people...
Such... "wow"...
Some people will do anything for a cheap laugh I think.
And I don't mean by going starkers!

Er, that's called a "cheap thrill"...
you cant put one on? I always understood it was quite easy.One of the other crews dropped the ball yesterday so I had to go out and salt a condo community all by my lonesome, which is always fun.
My truck doesn't have a plow, it's quite obvious it doesn't have a plow. Yet, I had three separate people ask me if I was also there to plow the street. One lady even said "Well, can't you go put one on" I said "Sure!" So she was like "really" to which I replied "no".
Don't ask an a+!%@+! question if you don't want an a&*!*~@ response.
It's easier to say no.
Edit: Also, every available plow is already attached to a truck, and we didn't even get a half inch of snow (we got about a quarter inch of ice though).

Val is still sick.
The neighbor's husky was barking its fool head off at 4:30 this morning, so after I went out on the back porch to yell at it, I went to check on Val, and he was actually hungry for the first time in 48 hours.
So I made him some toast.
He ate the toast.
He went back to bed.
The dog got taken inside the neighbor's house.
I noticed we were out of bread.
I baked some bread.
I'm tired.
Thank goodness it's my day to stay home with Val and I don't have to go to work and be functional.Good to hear that at least Val ate something because a returning appetite is one sign he's feeling better.
Did your neighbour apologise after you yelled at his/her dog?
BTW, what kitchen appliances do you need to make bread? Do you need a breadmaker or a steam oven?
Val seems to be almost entirely better. He's back to 3/4 energy (more than enough for a normal human), mostly normal appetite, and normal conversation/sense of humor.
The neighbor didn't apologize. This is Texas. They don't wave at you on the freeway when you politely let someone in front of you here, either. Is that just a West Coast thing?
Bread: I used to use the breadmaker for the knead and rise and then bake in the oven, but I discovered while I was resurrecting my grandmother's starter and refreshing my memory on how to bake her good bread that when you do it by hand, it rises better and tastes better. Even the pizza dough does. So the breadmaker is going back into the garage.
So, other than a gas oven and a good bread pan, the only tool that I use is this gizmo right here. Because I don't pay much attention to hot/cold and burn myself a lot in the kitchen because I'm thinking about ninety things at once (most of which aren't relevant to the task at hand), and with yeast, I like to be precise.

If you cook so much, how do you still burn yourself?
My kids are utterly horrified by my "Dad hands".
Baked potatoes done? Just reach in and get 'em out. Spaghetti didn't all go into the boiling water? Reach in and push it down!
I didn't realize just how bad my hands were until I picked something up and accidentally touched my arm with it, giving myself a decent burn in the process.
Apparently I have a callus or two from cooking...
|
|
My paw digits look normal and delicate looking but are actually slightly heat resistant. I can grab relatively hot stuff(compared to those who don't cook) without getting any ill effects. The protection is nothing compared to my Dad who has calluses from repairing heavy machinery, but rather its a nice little aesthetic looking sneaky heat resistant finish.

Glad to hear that Val is feeling better =)
Oh my... My mom said kneading the bread was too tiring to do by hand, but I may take up the challenge just to see if I can. Nice thermometer, the markings on my oven have worn out so much that I don't know which setting it is for top and bottom heating as well as convection fan. I need to go and experiment, before I try anymore baking.
Also, yeah that's why I don't like Texans. Sorry, LM, but I think the state peeps have a problem!
That long road trip is sounding better and better.
We just had to prove to one of the managers that there is nothing wrong with the phone system as a whole and that there is nothing wrong with the individual phone of a particular person. They just didn't pick up the phone when she called. Obviously you should call IT in those situations.
How can these people actually be gainfully employed?
unless I miss my guess, you just helped someone get fired.

Okay, having done corporate HR in a former life, this one actually makes sense to me.
What the management chain at SBC would have done (and did many things just like that) would be to call in IT to prove that there was nothing wrong with the phone line, just so they could start the documentation process showing that the employee was willfully not performing one of their mandatory job functions, or crap like that.
Don't ask me how many times I had to file (or create) documentation of that nature.
(EDIT: When the employees of a large corp are under union contract, this becomes very important. You can't fire someone for cause without a paper trail, and manufacturing a paper trail was a common way at SBC to get rid of someone that just wasn't liked.)
also, this.
So, when I am at work, I am typically insanely productive. I knock tasks off my list like a demon.
On a day like today, however, when I have daylight hours at home to spend doing much-needed tasks that have been on my to-do list for ages (because Val is alternately napping, reading Magic Treehouse books, or playing Atari), I am so hung up by the lack of a set schedule that I can't do much of anything at all. I cleared out most of my gmail inbox. Yeah, *that's* a good use of my time.
How in the flaming heck do people who work from home ever get anything accomplished? Seriously!
when I was working from home, h games kept me super productive.

Horrors in parenting: When your 17-year-old son comes into the living room and starts dancing the Macarena (bad enough already) to this.
*Rolls his eye and lets his mash-up snobbery show*
Hi, Kjel! Third day of relatively warm temperatures. Tomorrow's supposed to be warm, too.
*Smiles and waves to John*
Hi, everyone. I was busy earlier, and I've got a little bit of time for posting before I make dinner.
*Nods in understanding*
Thank you Turtle
*Blushes lightly and gives Woran another hug'n'pat*
...
But what I feel needs to be said, and you can take it or leave it or tell me to shut my face: don't compare your body to others, because you will never be happy. There will always be someone fitter/more toned/thinner/whatever than you. Don't torture yourself. Get yourself to a spot that you're happy with yourself and maintain that.(Disclaimer - This advice does not apply in cases of mental or eating disorders. Seek professional help.)
*Nods very very vigorously in agreement*

Meh. I don't answer my work phone because it's always a call from people who annoy me.
My manager warns me in advance if I should pick up. It's kind of hilarious.

They're a temp worker in Illinois. They don't need my help for that. In fact, Illinois is an at-will state. They don't need an actual reason to fire anybody at any time.
Remember when I said our top exec in this particular office was an awful human being a few pages back? She had someone fired because the person who picked a new employee up at the end of their shift was playing his car stereo too loud. In public streetside parking. Downtown. Once.

I'm starting to see why some people go to conventions under cover of darkness and are terrified of running into people they know.

The boss is 23 so he communicates almost entirely via text, which I prefer anyway.

At our place the "hip youngsters" use Slack, us old fogeys use instant messaging, and only clueless a$$hats who think nothing of interrupting someone else's work use the phone.
EDIT: I should say, "Without warning." It's pretty commonplace to get an instant message, "Hey, I'm having trouble with this. Can I call you?"
That's called, "Being polite and recognizing that the other person might be in the middle of something."
Today the boss texted me to call him after I was done with the property, which I did, went to voicemail. I then texted him I was done with the property and he promptly texted back

I really love Alestorm!
On their No Grave but the Sea album, they had a song whose title was so obscene that even the No Grave but the Sea for Dogs version of the album (all lyrics replaced with dogs barking) got an "explicit lyrics" label.
Trouble is, it's a really catchy song, and we ALL find ourselves humming along every so often.
So Alestorm went ahead and released a hilarious G-rated version of it, worthy of any PBS children's special.
Love me some Alestorm!

Mashed potato!But, gosh, remember when the Pogues' "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" was edgy?
I have a feeling the new IT guy at headquarters is already getting tired of hearing my voice.
There's a web app I need access to in order to do an important work task, and I can't get past the login. The twist? The login prompt is bogus -- my boss isn't prompted to log in, and I'm not supposed to be either.
Ugh, super frustrating especially with my boss breathing down my neck about it.

When I first went to Japan, I was a little body shy. I'm a firm believer of when you go to Rome, you do as Romans do, so when they went starkers, I did too, then I was like oh my, when old grannies go to the onsens...
But I don't really have much onsen tolerance so I can't really sit in a hot pool that long.
So when it rises from the ashes, to they keep on with Century IV? Or do they just acknowledge what's actually going on and switch it to Babylon?
