Who said anything about "pleasure"?

Fine. We are also welcome to not think he was referring to self-abuse, as well.

It wasn't light and fluffy snow at all!
Fortunately I still got done in 14 hours, more than enough time for hanky panky. Now I'm just waiting to see if PS 5s come in stock at midnight (since I don't smoke this will have to do for post coital reflection time).
Edit: No midnight playstation for me I guess.
At least I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

WW wants my Harper for his continuing Sword Coast campaign to be "well-researched", so I'm going through stacks of old gaming materials, and the urge to lampoon it is too much to resist.
"Hi, I'm Moonshadow Eversorrow, a tavern wench here at the Lady Luck Tavern in Daggerford, but I'm secretly the love child of Laeral Silverhand and Drizzt. No, seriously, look! I have lavender eyes! This is my magical singing dagger, the Nightflower Crystal, oh, and I have a tattoo of the Harper's emblem on my left butt cheek. Can I take your order?"
I'm also curious how much Elminster/Mordenkainen/Ed Greenwood slash fiction is out there.
Does this even technically count as lampooning?
Sounds authentic!

You call it a "bug"...
I'm also curious how much Elminster/Mordenkainen/Ed Greenwood slash fiction is out there.
Look, all I'm saying is that if it's not commonly available, it's likely only because Greenwood keeps his racier work at home.
EDIT:
Though I joke here, I will say the Candlekeep forums are a, uh... well, you see, they're... it's like this, um... "A more wretched hive of scum and villainy-" fairly racy on a consistent basis. XD

Wait, I found a problem with it.
You didn't have to take your dagger from a dragon's lair, first.
You know. Before becoming a tavern wench.

Most of the time, construction issues are things you anticipated/dreaded. The floor caved in once the contractors removed the subfloor? Not a surprise. The wiring inside the walls in the bathroom was a deathtrap waiting to happen? Alarming and disappointing since most of the wiring in this house is decent, but an expected cost overrun. The pipes under the house all need to be replaced? Not a surprise. The pipes in the walls fell out of the walls and had to be replaced? Still not a surprise.
What is amazingly exasperating to me is trying to get decent modern hardware. Our original contractor wanted us to pick up all the fixtures and tile ourselves, because he's had multiple issues with customers asking for this or that fixture or tile color, then refusing to pay because it didn't exactly match what they wanted. (Yes, he works for high-end tech clients, and yes, they really can be that bad.) One of the things he told us to get was the "shower rough-in": The valve that mixes hot and cold water for the shower and the tub.
GothBard dutifully went to a tub store, asked for a rough-in, and they handed her a "Delta Universal rough-in" without any further questions. We figured we were set.
Except:
(1) Delta's "universal" rough-in only works with Delta fixtures.
(2) We ordered a nice-looking set of Delta fixtures in "brushed chrome", only to receive a set of plastic fixtures.
(3) We showed them to our contractor, and as he puts it, Delta targets a certain "price point" of customers, and we will not be able to find high-quality Delta fixtures because they simply don't make them. They're not in that market.
So tomorrow I get to take another half-day off work while the three of us (GothBard, the contractor, and I) drive over to his favorite plumbing supply store in Oakland and pick up a decent set of fixtures. He says it's only an hour's labor to replace the rough-in, and we might be able to get a refund on the Delta fixtures, but the whole, "Oh, yeah, now you have a Delta valve but they don't sell steel fixtures, only plastic" was quite the eye-opener.

Ah, cats! Is there any creature more predictable?
In spite of the Calico growing up with Impus Major and being "his" cat, when he moved to WhimseyShire she stayed in his old room and became Impus Minor's "cat". Today she ventured into WhimseyShire so Impus Major tried to entice her to stay with "drugs and candy" (catnip and cat treats placed on the bed where he wanted her to settle down). She licked up the catnip, wolfed down the cat treats, looked around the room...
...and promptly settled onto Impus Major's chair, preventing him from being able to use the computer if he wanted her to stay around. (There's not enough floor space in WhimseyShire for two chairs.)

Best wishes, Woran.
Also, update on my parents:
Dad is responding well to the treatment for the touch of pneumonia he picked up in addition to COVID. He is feeling much better, still bad, but improving. Mom says she is doing fine, which means she's still sick doesn't want to say she is. Dad says that she is mostly over it, just has to deal with the long-term effects. So, all in all, good news.

Ugh, people. Just had a couple come to the door. He was wearing a mask, she wasn't, and they couldn't understand why I didn't want to let them in. After all, he was wearing a mask, so why should she have to? Eventually they said she didn't have a mask with her, so I put a disposable one on the counter and let them in. He handed it to her, and she sighed, rolled her eyes, and tried to put it on. I say 'tried' because she put it on inside-out. I mean, come on. It's been almost a year. You know you have to have a mask.

Yes our rate is 250 tonight. AARP? sure 247.

I just told them we didn't have anything. Said we hadn't had housekeeping for a few days. Sent them next door.
It was kinda funny how when I pointed to her through the door and gestured to indicate she needed a mask, her first instinct was to hide behind him.
And they were nowhere near old enough for AARP. I'm not great at estimating ages, but I would say mid to late 30s.

Most of our guests are old people so I just assumed.
