Best wishes, Lynora :)
EDIT: But be very careful what you wish for... o.O

It sounds like some components of the System Board are beginning to fail. You might want to set aside some money for the purchase of a new computer when your current one expires. Save the Hard Drives. Staples sells external Hard Drive enclosures. Using those will let you access the data on the old drives.Hm. I do hope that wasn't the end of my computer...Yay! It was not.
(That was kind of disturbing, though.)
((It just froze and nothing worked; then my sound freaked out, so I did a hard reset.))
I miss the days when you could go to a designated parking lot at midnight and shop for all the random parts you could possibly need from trunk to trunk. What you ended up with might have looked like Frankenstein's baby, but it was yours, it was cheap, and it made you feel like a rock star.

why... Are you lying?Math gets fun when you get to pre-calc and trig. :)Math loves you. Why do you not love Math?math is evil and must be destroyed.You know how some video games are played, and some are beaten mercilessly into the ground, until you stand above it's blooded corpse with nothing but your cramped fingers gleaming back into your cold, hard eyes?
I appear to have entered a similar stage of advanced mathematics.
It's my nature.
I mean, look at my avatar; I'm obviously some kind of laconic and deceitful villain.
Ghosts!
Nice!

You know what's great about commuting eery day on my city's 24 hour public transit system instead of owning a car? When "Let's go get a beer after work" turns into "BRING FORTH THE PITCHERS!", there's no worry about how to get home and nobody's getting behind the wheel.

That weird moment where you admit that you're wrong, and the person you'd disagreed with replies (not an exact quote), "I don't know what you're argument is, but it's clearly wrong, because you were wrong earlier in this thread."

Ah, the grand old times when your megacorporate IT department yet again proves its megacluelessness:
IT Department: We just implemented two-factor authentication! We're great! You are now so safe!
NobodysHome: Whatever.
Mail server: Welcome to corporate webmail! Now that we have two-factor authentication, you cannot access your corporate e-mail until you enter the code we sent to your corporate e-mail address...
Doesn't anyone think about such things?

Three-factor authentication: you need to physically call IT department worker you personally know while logging while he let you in into your account.

Had to make a report about the condition of our bathroom. The lights fizzled out and seem to be due to some internal issue, rather than my roommate doing something stupid.

It turns out homework might not be as important as they say.
Pea Bear, despite doing maybe 30% of her homework (and that might be generous) is getting mostly A's and B's.

Has nothing to do with what you learn in school. It is only useful to kids who are independent learners and function better with a book and poorly randomized problems to solve/essays to write. If your mind doesn't work that way, it's drudgery.

If you're old because you were a kid in 1989, what does it mean if you'd already graduated college by then?
Sheesh! We drove from Albany, CA to Kansas City, MO with no electronics at all; no air conditioning, no radio, nothing but books, puzzles, and endless cycles of 20 questions.
it was a LOOOOOOONG drive...

I used to have to ride in the hatchback of an AMC Gremlin to grandma's house.
Which was about two hundred miles away.

I did. We got it from a Pawn shop.
It was awesome! ... right up until it got stolen when a cleaning person cleaned our room.
:I
In any event, I definitely remember lots of very, very long trips with no portable games. We car-traveled across the U.S. for months, after all, and I only had the Game Boy for the first third of that...

I could not (and still can't) read while riding a car or a bus (and occasionally on train/tram as well). It quickly triggers my motion sickness...

Looong drives in our household meant northern Wisconsin to central Florida with no entertainment but being made to read Dad's duct tape-covered Bible aloud for hours and hours while he drove. I don't care if I never read Deuteronomy again, I am so over it.

Reading books was the only thing that saved me on road trips. Once, I pissed Dad off terribly somehow, and he grounded me from reading for three weeks. I believe that was the last time he ever disciplined me. It took.
@lisamarlene -- Better Deuteronomy than the books of the Chronicles.

I've lived all over, so i've probably heard of it. Or lived there at some point.

As far as I know I'm still the only one on the Paizo United Nations Roll call map currently living here. :-)

@lisamarlene -- Better Deuteronomy than the books of the Chronicles.
Uff. Chronicles suuuuuuuuuuuucks to try and read through. So daggum dry. I've made the valiant attempt multiple times and managed to get through it a few times by technicality, but it all slurs together for me.
Deuteronomy can definitely be a like that (Leviticus is much more interesting, even though I like Deuteronomy's name a lot better), but it's not as rough as Chronicles.
Most Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and any of the prophets and the book of John and Revelation, on the other hand, are awesome.

I likes my Pauline epistles, chiefly. I Corinthians and Ephesians, especially.
Oh, and Hebrews. Still not 100% on who wrote that one, though.

To pass the time, I read a Peanuts book. On the way back, I started feeling nauseous, so when the bus pulled over so we could all get ice cream, I told the teacher I wanted to stay in the bus. She would have none of it, and insisted I come in.
I walked up to the ice cream parlor door, opened it, threw up into the open doorway, closed the door, turned around, and climbed back onto the bus.
The teacher, pitying me, later brought me an ice cream cone.
And so began a tradition of throwing up at restaurant entrances.
I do hope the ice cream parlor didn't take it as a commentary on the quality of their fare...

Ha!
My main associations with cars are: family road trips, throwing up (basic at certain moment my mother was taking spare shirt for me just because it was obvious I am gonna throw up on myself) and sleeping (a wonderful method of dealing with motion sickness when I was a wyrmling).

Are there any free Pathfinder Society scenarios available?
I could use a few to see their format...

Ah, I found them... Seems that the link to the scenarios in the side bar was obsolete and redirecting me back to the starting page but when I went to the Pathfinder Society page and clicked scenario link there it worked correctly.

I've lived by Neilsville, Marshfield, Colby, Dodgeville, Monroe, Monticello, etc.
Lots of small dinky towns beyond those.
Blenker, Christie, New York, Arpin, Argyle, Browntown (which was actually pretty cool because my parents managed a camp ground-hobby farm (as in all the animals were miniature versions) and an old half pipe in the woods my friends and I fixed up.
One of the best summers ever!
