So, the owner called and asked for a little more time, till tomorrow, and apologized. All i could think was...DUDE, Its YOUR Dog! I told him to take his time, and thanked him for even considering such a thing. So, even though I am biting at the bit to know something, we have just a bit longer. Dude is super nice, and crazy about the dog...which I understand, she is an amazing pup. (Her name is Ally btw)
I certainly hope he says yes, but if she stays with him (or at least his brother) I know she is loved.
Sounds like a very fortunate dog. I hope he decides to let you keep Ally, but at least if he goes the other way, you can sleep easy knowing the dog is in a good home. Plus, you've provided a wonderful example of doing the right thing even though its difficult for your children.

You guys should just take him, too. Is he old enough to be a 3rd grandpa?

But I think they're too busy playing or talking about playing with other friends that have the game to hear me. :)Headed to bed here. Monday was f!!~ed up.
Glad to hear you got Skyrim, I'm looking forward to trying it out myself.
Have a good one Mac, tell the wife we say "Hi".
If you were still in Michigan, I'd invite you over and let you play the game. ;)

Now that's an arrangement I could get behind!

Absolutely, positively HATED Morrowind. It was the leveling system. I never felt like I was crafting the character I wanted. Now, in number 5, I'm getting the EXACT character I want (Ftr/Clr with a dash of rogue.)

Thanks, mom.Aren't you glad you had that Hazmat suit?
Wha? It was like 6 months ago.....

Do you guys in the US have a tradition of the long work lunch. At the end of the year as projects wrap up, our boss takes us out for "lunch" (starts at 12:30 and finishes when we go home).
The boss took us out for Brazilian - fantastic food and beer, we are now on our way to the pub.
Where I work we call that "Friday".

At my previous job we used to have long lunches at the drop of a hat. A popular or long serving staff member leaving or having a birthday, a big project wrapping up, ‘lunch meeting’ with a client, Melbourne Cup Day, St Patricks Day, Friday ... all were excuses for an all-afternoon lunch.
Not so at my current job. My boss is quite generous and often takes the whole office out to lunch at his expense, but we are expected to be back to work in about 1.5 hours tops.

For us it's when a project (release) winds down its drinks and long lunches - the rest of the time it's 12 hour day madness.

It's a hard slog through the year.

How many of you guys listen to Podcasts?
Any you recommend?
I only listen to one. This one. The Atomic Array. The interviews are great, so much so, that I bought a book because of one: Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters

Atomic Array is one of my favourites. Good quality sound and the hosts are funny and have a great interview style.

If there is a civilized practice concerning labor, you can bank that we don't have it in the US below the level where they hand out the golden parachutes.

Starship Sofa is an excellent podcast if you want something genre that is not gaming.
Beyond AA, I sometimes have to range abroad for more RPG podcasting. Top of the list is Chronicles Pathfinder Radio. Then there's Know Direction (PF), Roll for Initiative (1e), Save or Die (B/X), Happy Jacks (RPG), and Fear the Boot (RPG) in no particular order. Dungeons and Flagons (our resident Zombie was a member) was great, but then they went all Gamaworld/record play sessions and I haven't been happy with that, but I still can recommend their early episodes which are D&D/PF. Also, I imagine THACO's Hammer (2e) is worth a listen, but I haven't tried it yet.

Whats Starship Sofa about?
My non gaming stuff - How Stuff Works, Stuff you missed in History Class, The Nerdist, Astronomy Cast, Star Stuff, The History of Rome, A History of WWII, The Pritzker Military Library, Monster Talk, Skeptoid and the Skeptics guide to the Universe.
Gaming - Chronicles, Know Direction, FTB, D&F and the new Gamers Guide to Pathfinder.
I am enjoying D&F's Gamma world actual play... it probably because I dont get to play as much as I used to and I kind of imagine myself at the table.
I will check out the other Podcasts you have listed they sound cool.

For workers who earn it, once every 3 months we have a long lunch. It starts with a limo ride and we generally go to the Japanese place. Lasts about 2 1/2 hours.

Freddy looked so much better with the moustache and short hair...
I wish the story about one of his parties where he had midgets with little tables strapped to their heads and a selection of cocaine and other drugs to be snorted on the tables was true.
Never heard that one before.

Nobody here so I will just crank up the old youtube and play some akadaka
