Nekid well wishes for top. :)
Go Shiny!
Shiny! O_O Wow, gratz!
New Hampshire has a TERRIBLE public school system, so if you've got school-age kids, probably not such a good idea. And if you need any tips on where to go in upstate New York, I can give you the straight scoop on just about any town north of Albany.Which states in the Union will be graced with your seismic upheaval to their borders?I'm hoping for New Hampshire, but Upstate New York is a possibility.
Nope, my daughter was already failed by the terrible Massachusetts public school system, so no worries there. We are done with school-age junk. As for where to go, it will depend on what region my wife inherits. I'll keep ya posted, but it wont be for a while.
EDIT: AND CONGRATS! MAZELTOV! May you have many happy years together.
But......... the Beach?!?!?!?!```````Meh. Even Danny Boyle has to fail from time to time.
Whom?

And in other news...
...I got engaged over the weekend. Shocking, right?
This is a strictly Paizo-only announcement for now, since we're not going to tell her family for another few weeks at least, but still...
Congratulations!
Normally I might say 'run', but it's probably already too late. You're doomed.

Dude you never ask a girlfriend to marry you, the relationship is over no matter what she says. If she says no, then it's done, if she says yes then all the fun stuff is done. You're screwed either way. ;)
Seriously though, congrats Shiny!
CONGRATS SHINEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone enjoys their, uh, Shroves. Shroving? Aren't pancakes involved?
I'm so confused.
Me too! That's what I get for buying Scottish almanacs.
And gah. Working a double-shift seems to have made me skip going to sleep and instead enter deranged mind territory.
Happy Shrove Tuesday all!
Laissez les bons temps rouler

When I was a kid, each year for Venus and Thoth (always on a Sunday), we'd go down to a particular spot early in the day. We'd have peanuts to snack on, occasionally get some cotton candy, and mom would usually make some sandwichs for lunch.
When my aunt's float finally came along, we'd pay the driver to stop right in front of us for a few minutes.
Good times.

Mardi Gras day was almost always spent in Metaire, since my dad's cleaners was on the other side of the highway from the parade route. That way we always had a bathroom to use. And if it was cold, we had someplace warm to go.
When I was in college, for several years I'd go with friends downtown. The parent's of one of the guys had an apartment overlooking the parade route, not far from Lee Circle. Saw lots of boobage.
Again, good times.

I'm so confused.
Shrove, to confess. It was the day to get your confession out of the way before tomorrow, Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season.
Pancakes, it was also the last day before dietary restrictions kicked in, therefore being the last day you could eat a pancake.
Pancake races, don't know if you have them elsewhere but we do in Kansas, a lady in England was trying to make her Shrove pancakes and almost missed church, she raced to church with the frying pan and a pancake in it. The rest... is history.
