I don't know. Are you high enough level that I could be an ocelot familiar, rather than a housecat?

NobodysHome:Your Spanish teacher asked you to do ANOTHER PowerPoint presentation? Hasn't she learned her lesson yet?
Impus Major: Apparently not.My favorite:
"Bad Day" = An unhappy emoticon
"Worse Day" = A photo of a group of vultures tearing apart a human corpseYeah, I had to veto that one. But I liked it.
Maybe she hasn't learned her lesson because you vetoed it?

wow is it to late to change my mind to sorcerer.

I am pretty sure that my Int is better than my Cha.
Archeologist is there mainly for some extra luck.

"Int-based Archaeologist" is why I went with Pathfinder Chronicler.
It's the closest thing I could find to Indiana Jones.

This weekend, Whingey Wizzard is hosting a huge seminar for the kaicho of his budo/jujutsu style. There are lots and lots of people in his dojo. And, because it makes the kaicho happy, tonight the top TWENTY of them are descending on our home and I've agreed to cook for all of them.
So I'm making two colossal pots of jambalaya and a big rum cake (I'm still trying to figure out side dishes) and once I'm certain that everybody is fed and happy and I have fulfilled my hostess obligation, I'm going to disappear with the kids upstairs and read.
I honestly don't mind the cooking, and they're good people (mostly), there's just too damned many of them.
Aaaand I've got the oven preheating now so I can get the cake baked and most of the ingredients chopped up and into prep bags before I take the kids to ballet this morning.
And I'm trying not to be stressed.
The food part is easy. Everybody likes my food. (Except for Nobody's Home.) It's the people.

Make sure you keep the proper medication on hand for ol' Revolver.

I didn't know your husband was the martial artist. I look forward to fighting with him over both you and who gets to clean the gutters.
The dinner thing brings back memories.
Here's hoping they arrive in small groups so you are not overwhelmed, and that they allow you to disappear to read before too long.
I"m sure I would love your cooking. NobodysHome is hard wired to like only his wife's cooking, I'm sure.

I've almost never seen Goth Bard cook. She says she cooks. (She did make me fabulous Happy Tree Friends cupcakes for my birthday one year. She cut up gummi bears and impaled them on tiny spikes with red gel icing. It was adorable.) But NH is the chef.

ooh happy tree friend cupcakes!
You know, absconding with you, gothbard, lynora(did i abscond with her? I'm sure I would, I want her super comfy bed), is one of the best culinary decisions I have ever made.

What's weird is that I've found that to consistently happen*: a thrown shoe will annihilate the thing. Part of what's weird about it is that it seems un-intuitive - a shoe is (comparatively) bulky, not really aerodynamic, and though it can be relatively heavy and have a good smashing surface that surface is in no way guaranteed - and seems likely to fail - to hit the target. And yet, I've seen multiple (really awesome) stories that do the same thing. It's a weird quirk.
Random Shiro story -- he spent a LOT of time in Michigan winters looking for something to do. One of the things he taught himself was to catch flies bare-handed.
It's a really weird-but-amazing ability. If a fly starts bothering us, he just snatches it out of the air.
Yeah, he's a show-off! :-P

Okay, after the kids' pediatrician telling me "go to CVS; they take Medi-Cal", driving/waiting almost an hour and a half to get to a CVS offering pediatric flu shots, I got told nope, they don't take Medi-Cal. But I should try calling the local hospital. Hospital said, no, they don't accept it, either. And then told me to call Walmart.
OK. Holy carp. What the heck happened to all the places that advertise "FREE" flu shots? I see Target, CVS, and Wal*Mart talking about them all the time! I guess "free" isn't free?
(We've managed to cycle the kids' annual physicals so that the kids and I all get our flu shots in conjunction with our annual check-ups. It was funny. We were at the pediatricians and I asked, "Can I get one, too?" and they said, "We'll have to charge you $30 for it."
It was the first time I'd been told a flu shot cost money. I was surprised.
I am appalled that you can't get your kids flu shots for free if you want them.

I do that too, on occasion.
Markthomas66 used to kill them with his shinnai while having unrelated conversations. I never got that good. I would just catch and release.

And don't forget I'm addicted to your Dr. Pepper pulled pork!
Well, I'm experimenting tonight... one pot is the standard chicken/andouille sausage/prawns, and the other pot (which has to accommodate allergies to seafood and garlic) is just chicken and pork belly. Honestly, who the fleurk is allergic to garlic, other than my 95-year-old grandmother (who just says she is because she's a snob)?

Those "free" signs (a) just mean free with insurance, no co-pay, and (b) are designed to get people in the door. Everyone shows up for something free, even if they don't want/need it. Even Walmart charges 39.84 without insurance.

That is the appalling suck.
