Yeah happy Birthday to Mrs GM and Mrs V, and as ummm a continuation of the ahh celebration there should be a continuation of the theme with ummm in game gifts for all! :P
Yeah BBB, models are always a bit pricey, Manowar stuff was $$$$'s, even Lego costs a stack of cash. I keep spending my spare cash on green things.

Probably an appropriate juncture to do a cross-post to all my more active PbPs about an interruption to my posting schedule that is imminent.
My wife is about 37 weeks pregnant, which basically means that the bun is fully cooked and ready to pop at any time. This means that at some point in the next 1 day to 4 weeks I will suddenly and without notice disappear completely from the interwebs. I can't say when or for how long, but it will probably knock me out for up to a week or so before my wife and I get back on our feet and I'm of somewhat sound and untired enough mind to jump back online.
So if I do vanish, please don't fret as I shall return :) I would just ask for some leeway on posting frequency for a while as we adjust to the new baby floating around.

Indeed. As my wife and I are fond of saying, "the days can drag, but the years certainly fly." Enjoy the little 'un while they're little. :-)

Ugh.
Hey what with the downsizing, there's never been a better time to take your well earned skills international and join the ADF, we pay better too! :)
"Just as the U.S. Department of Defense announces some pretty hefty cuts in military jobs in the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marines, the Australian military machine seems to be soliciting some nice used but serviceable Yankee components. If you have a good record and the right military skills, our cousin Down Under may want you, mate."

Hahaha, I am also not sure how that would affect my citizenship. Though, like most Americans,I have a special place in my heart for Aussies. Is the ADF really recruiting former US servicemembers?
@Tirion Hahaha, I doubt our tactics used on cultist would go over quite as well on the international stage. ;)
Shifty |
Yeah we have had a few people come over, I was chatting to an American now here with the Navy teaching the aviators.
Had an ex Marine at our unit for a while too, they are coming through the system, as well as quite a lot of Brits.

The Army page is here showing what they are importing...
Army site.
Apparently dual-citizenship is allowed o.O

Floating psi-baby with lazer eyes and power over metal would be very cool... though we'll settle for a pooping / sleeping / screaming machine. It's our second so we're well prepared for the chaos and backing up of sleep debt that will ensue.

Post got eated first time round - but I said thanks for the well wishes and lamented that we were unlikely to have a super-psi baby, and would instead settle for a pooping / sleeping / screaming one.
Shifty - sounds a bit like the oilfield. All the Scots retired to work in Perth once they got a bit sick of the UK weather.

Team Shifty-Bang-Bang --> Specializing in questionable tactics which generally result in something getting blown up. What is wrong with that?

So there were a some really bad storms last night and an tornado even came to visit my town. I was all packed up and ready to go see OZ (I'm the only one who get's to make Dorothy jokes, people :P) but it didn't come close enough to me.
Seriously though, there were many business ruined and a many homes as well. They definitely have my sympathies.
Tirion Jörðhár |
Ouch, despite my warning, my parents were driving across Kansas yesterday. They spend the night in Junction City, right in the middle of all the tornados.
Bree, I am glad you are safe, it did not look like where I would want to be during that outbreak.
Tirion Jörðhár |
Have not heard from them, but I have also not heard of any injuries from that area. My parents are pretty nonchalant about things like this, I will probably try calling them in another hour or so to make sure they are safe in whatever town they got to today, probably somewhere in center Illinois, possibly Indiana.

Parents are good, finally heard from them last night. The will make it back to DMHW's area in another two days. The plains states here are known as Tornado Alley. They had about 120 tornados on Saturday, and a pile more just a little further east on Sunday. This is a major outbreak, but pretty much if you live between North Dakota and Texas, or a little east of those states, you should expect to have a tornado in you town at least once every couple of years. It is what the weather does. Same this for living in Florida or the Texas coast - you just have to expect that a hurricane is going to roll up and whack you. Weather is pretty predictable on things like this if you give it enough time.
And Bree - I will note that the majority of the states I just referenced are frequently "Red" states if you want to consider pissing off gods.
Bree Longfield |
Lmao, Tirion, you are quite likely right on that. Though, I am quite fond of pointing out that Oklahoma's state seal (I oft refer to Oklahoma as the buckle on the Bible belt as tornado ally is also called) is a pentacle. Personally, I believe it would primarily be the Native American't gods that we've pissed off, and the whole "ancient Indian burial ground" idea doesn't help much I'm sure.
