John is absolutely right, I do owe Vidmaster an apology.
Not only for being an a&#*++& today, but for all the times I've made fun of his grammar and spelling previously, it was a dick move and I'm sorry.
Alright man I'll accept that apology. I might still take a bit not responding to your posts to make sure I don't have any negativeness coming through. I didn't mind the jokes to much and I know its a flaw, but the last one felt more malicious then joking around. I appreciate the apology. I'll chalk it up to stress.
Hope your days get a stress reduction.
I don't blame you, I was an a&~!~@&, straight up.
Again, I'm sorry, I was fed up with s!!$ at home and lashed out at you instead of those which were frustrating me, it was a s&+%ty thing to do.
Usually if I get one of those bad days I stay away from Internet forums before I do something unforgivable. God knows I'm not a nice cat at all when pushed to post when my mind is on other matters. If I'm busy, I'm busy, period, any posts are a bonus, but if I don't post, live with it.
Internet posting or "reliability" is overrated. I'm reliable 5 days of the week, so just cut me slack on the other two, k?

She wasn't implying you are overweight, was she?Now she is drinking coffee just outside of my normal field of vision I can just make out she is looking at me in my peripheral but If I turn she quickly averts her gaze.
I need 1st shift to hurry and get here. I'm a little weirded out.
Edit: She finally walked up and asked me where a scale would be. (gym btw)
Ouch, that would hurt.
But I doubt it. Vidmaster7 said he looks good in a suit and is a quarter schwarzenegger so he should look pretty in shape.

Even if Vidmaster7 is overweight, it's none of her business. Honestly it's Asian countries that are more anal about appearances. For Singapore Airlines, to be an air stewardess, you need to be of a certain height(I don't cut it) and fit into the air stewardess uniform, which is very exacting on body measurements.
For air stewardesses who return to work after giving birth, you have to fit into your old uniform before you qualify.
I was on American Airlines on my trip to States and I wouldn't say the air steward was in shape, he was a little plump, honestly...
So this is just my observation between Asian countries and the States.

This is from Singapore Airlines website:
We will be conducting interviews for cabin crew in Singapore in March and April. If you meet the following requirements, we will be pleased to receive your application:
* Singapore citizen
* Minimum age of 18 years old due to legislative requirements
* Fulfil the minimum height requirement of at least 1.58m for females and 1.65m for males in order to carry out safety and emergency procedures onboard
* Fluent in English with good communication skills
Eh, wait, I'm 1.58m...weight lifting did get me a bit taller.
I do understand the height requirement though. How do you help people load their luggage if you can't reach the compartment?

What do you do when you realize you don't have any urge to adventure at all? Its been over a year and I still feel the same about adventuring which is like na, zilch. I was hoping time would fix it, but nope it doesn't.
Is there a way on getting a fresh perspective and getting it back or should I just accept that its gone for good?

Tac, Tarpon Springs is a Greek community just north of Tampa. My paternal grandparents used to live in Dunedin, so we went fairly often.Huuuuuuuungry. I need baklava, now.
The General: I'll walk the dogs tonight if you make supper
Me: Chinese food it is!
Ugh, I need Chinese, now.
Chinese food and chocolate-y baklava. Life sounds so very good, right now.
The Balaclava helmet was named after the battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War in the 1850s, where British troops without huge great bushy beards extended their woolly hats to keep their faces & necks warm.

Too late. I am now convinced that I dispense god-like advice that all must abide by. Thank you. And you're welcome.I think you're right, gran. If I know its a short stint(a one off) then maybe I should give it a shot.
I guess I should stop worrying about not being like the other reindeer who both play and GM at the same time.
And don't let this praise go into your head, gran.
*pokes gran with a claw to deflate him*

I have six games this week.
Monday - GM home campaign
Tuesday - No game, clean rat cage
Wednesday - PFS game
Thursday - GM Dead suns book 3
Friday - Play Beacon Below
Saturday - Play Against the Aon thronse, book 1
Sunday - Play Ancients Anguish
Lucky! :D
I'm only in one a week these days, a Tuesday night homebrew game a friend runs over Google Hangouts. I also have a standing invite to a Friday night Pathfinder game a different friend runs, but his place is a 2 hour journey from my place, and I can't drive/don't have a car, so I often can't make it.

And (in)famous for the Charge of the Light Brigade....
I noticed one of the ladies at the sand class checking me out.
Probably because I look like rustic Fabio.
Also, a lot of people were curious if we were adding more to our crew.
what do you do at this sand class again?
Mostly watch other people show other people how to use tools and techniques that we've already been using to maximize efficiency or whatever buzz words they use these days.
But, they had free pizza, so...
Most of the time was spent trying to get people to use their adhesive, which we've already been using.

Its the rush before convention. Normally I have two games a week.

Yes - they put them on the wrong way around and hence couldn't see where they were going.
I usually GM something at least once a week. Usually it's RotRL with Aiymi. I have a standing invite to a game in the Cincinnati suburbs on every other Friday night, but that's 4.5-5 hour drive (really depends on what kind of traffic I hit in Indianapolis) and a time zone shift.
Hey, I know let's shoot 40 zombies without reloading, that's realistic.
I don't know if you still can, or ever could in California, but you used to be able to take old electronics (not CRT TVs or monitors) to Best Buy and drop them off for free. Also, ink/toner cartridges can usually be dropped off at Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot, etc. As for motor oil, you should (again, maybe not in California) be able to take that to an auto parts store (Autozone, NAPA, etc) or mechanic and hand it in. You may have to pay a small recycling fee for that. Medicine...check with your pharmacy. Maybe they'll take the old stuff for disposal. Or, check with your police. I've been hearing commercials on the radio lately that the Illinois Sheriff's Association (or something like that) is setting up drop-off points for old medicine so it can be properly disposed of.
That all reinforces my point: People just want to throw out their trash; they don't want to have to store up a bunch of electronics then make a special trip. For example, the closest Best Buy to me is at least 20 minutes away by car, and I don't shop there. Even the police department is an 8-minute drive away.
Making it illegal to throw things away and then inconvenient or costly to dispose of them properly cannot end well.
Honestly, for things like batteries and light bulbs I just throw them in the regular trash. It's not like they're going to sort through it and find who pitched the odd bulb or AA.
As I said, such laws turn everyone into lawbreakers.

There is a battery collectiin point that also does lightbulbs at my supermarket. There is a glass collection point close to the supermarket. So i can recycle my glass when I go shopping.
I have 3 bins: one for paper. One for plastic, amd cans. One for greens.
Others i have to collect and bring to a special point.
Normal garbage has a bin in the street next to mine.

That not enough for you? How's about driving into the zombie infested town, alone, and then not pay attention to your driving.
That'll end well.

Why yes, I did watch two episodes of The Walking Dead, how could you tell...

That's the one requirement I don't understand. I mean, the luggage compartments are X cm high, or whatever task it is that necessitates the height requirement, so shouldn't X be the height requirement? Rather than Y and Z height requirements?
Anyway, are you looking for a change of profession?

In other words...why is it gender specific at all? If you have to be this tall to ride the ride, that's not something that gender should make a difference on. I'm also surprised they don't set an upper limit on height, since on a lot of smaller regional jets I'm brushing my head at the top of the cabin. Any taller and being a professional flight attendant would be a very uncomfortable job.
Oh, come on man! Why didn't you stay on top of your RV! And nighttime is the last time you want to go walking across a fog covered field!
