There's a leak in Impus Minor's ceiling, so we put a metal bowl under it. So, think about that water for a minute... it's got to land on the 30-year-old shingle roof, run through the 90-year-old wood treated with who-knows-what, dribble through the 30-year-old fiberglass insulation and the who-knows-how-old lath-and-plaster ceiling (probably riddled with asbestos) and the peeling paint before dripping into the bowl.
So yep, the dripping water is full of who-knows-how-many toxic and/or carcinogenic things, so of course Impus Minor didn't want to bother walking the TEN FEET to the bathroom, so he drank some of it.
*SIGH*
He'll do fine in college...

Ugh. I have to take it back on Jade Regent and the final assault on the castle. The first fight was really nice: A low-level, feel-good, "We kicked these guards' butts" affair against four guards and a commando.
But in the towers around the castle and the battlements, there are FORTY-NINE of these guards!!! We're talking Final Fantasy levels of grindiness. A great big, "Seriously? You were THAT lazy? You just threw these guys into EVERY SINGLE ROOM where you thought there should be guards?!?!!?"
And of course the PCs, being thorough, wanted to eliminate all the guys shooting arrows from the towers, the arrow slits, etc., so I had the grand opportunity to run a dozen useless combats over the course of 3-4 sessions just to burn time and party resources.
I chose not to.
But forty-nine of a single creature type in a single dungeon in an AP? Seriously?
Storming the castle.
How do you supposed to be glad you conquered the castle without killing dozens of mooks, at least?!

As lisamarlene said, good luck finding a home out west that doesn't. Very much like lead, it was a "wonder material" used extensively in construction up until the late 1970s. So my house was built in the 1920s, meaning the stucco and original lath and plaster probably have it. It was extended in the 1970s, meaning the drywall installed in that era probably has it. I know I had to do the full bunny-suit HEPA vacuum plastic-wrap-the-room asbestos removal of the linoleum in the kitchen. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the original paint had it.
Basically, it was cheap, it was plentiful, and so it got used in everything. So any significant deconstruction you do involves a respirator...

I'll admit, it hardly counts, being from around the Bay Area, but I don't use umbrellas and I hardly use a raincoat. It doesn't rain enough around here to actually get you wet.

So anyway, no writeups 'cause I can't talk about the AP, but as Trig lives or dies or does spectacularly silly things, I'll probably mention them here.

Wait, you're playing a Gnome named Trig? Are you sure you aren't in my Giantslayer game, because the Cavalier is a Gnome named Trig.

Working for Global Megacorporation, you have to have a sense of humor.
They moved all expense reporting over to our new flagship product. So of course, the very first expense report I submitted got approved by my manager and then auto-deleted by the system.
I have to admit, Global Megacorporation will see some cost savings with this approach...

Oh, in our Rise of the Runelords campaign we established that gnomes are named by having family members, friends, and random people grabbed off the street yell out words, and the words are all strung together to produce gnomish names.
It's all kinds of fun.

I know I said it back in April when we refinanced, but it really is rather disgusting how much our society is geared towards giving people who have money even more money. Our refi was kind of silly fast (under 2 weeks), but that's nothing compared to this week's request for a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) to replace said leaking roof.
Monday: Hey, Provident? I need a line of credit to replace my roof, install solar, and refurbish our pathetic bathroom.
Tuesday: OK, Mr. NobodysHome, you're all set! The paperwork's gone through, you'll get documents to e-sign today, and you should have your money by Friday.
Whut?
I just have a feeling that if our house didn't appraise for quite so much, or we didn't have a dual income, this wouldn't be anywhere near this simple.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Fun fact: my wife makes about three times as much as I, but the lenders won't count that income because she is a self-employed contractor. Or so the loan agent tells me.
Yeah, I remember nearly losing out on our house because I got laid off and they didn't want to count self-employment income. "I have made steady money for the last 10 years" means nothing to them. All they want is, "Do you work for a global megacorporation? You do? Well, then, let's get you some money! Oh, and where'd I put my vice grips and sledgehammer?"

I know I said it back in April when we refinanced, but it really is rather disgusting how much our society is geared towards giving people who have money even more money.
I think the basic idea was that if you have money, you are clearly someone who knows what they're doing and can be trusted to use more money, and more importantly to pay it back reliably. Which of course is the most important part, far more than whether or not you need the money.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Yep. The idea is that lending money encourages spending and grows the economy, but if a loan cannot be repaid, it diminishes the amount of money in that economy. Hence the subprime bubble.
It's definitely not fair from the perspective of "person who desperately needs money cannot get money," but there is logic behind it.

We got some good news. The kidlet got into the engineering magnet at school. It's from sophomore to senior year and it was picked by lottery so we were holding our breath waiting to see if he made it in. Especially since it was the whole reason he wanted to go to that school in the first place. He's taking the intro class already since they opened it to freshmen this year. (In the past you couldn't take intro to engineering until sophomore year.) So he's got a little bit of a head start on his magnet requirements already. It's a huge relief that he got in. I spend a ridiculous amount of time per day ferrying him to and from school since it's the farthest one from our house, so it would have been pretty crushing if he hadn't gotten into the program that was the reason he chose that school. At least now all the driving is actually worth it. :)

In other news, I am so tired I am seriously considering putting my head down on this table and napping until the kidlet shows up. I'm at a cafe waiting for him while he does his taekwondo class. I had to stay up late to help the kidlet with homework last night (because unfortunately his poor planning does in fact constitute an emergency for me....sigh) and I was too busy to take a nap earlier today. I miss sleep. So very, very much....
When I think of all the naps I refused to take as a child....I didn't know how good I had it! ;P
