Reduce the brain scent?
This is hurting my thinky bits.
If your thinky bits hurt, you've likely already contracted the disease: even if you use brain condoms properly, they are not rated at 100% prevention.
Come down to the Public Mental Health Clinic; you should get tested to find out if you need a purge on your thinky bits -- y'know, just a little brain-washing. Set you right as rain in no time!
ROTFL.

DAMMIT.
I had Fitz ready for an appointment and then all you jokers show up, clamoring for brains; he's NEVER gonna sit down and expose it NOW.
It's like a bad line from a zombie porno...
And now I need to go get some brain bleach. Again.
If it burns, it's working!

Dammit, why can't Seattle be closer to Maryland? It's like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan all over again... *sniff*

I keep trying to go but life keeps interfering. It either ends up on a night I have to work or I have medical issues pop up. I swear I'm going to go. I even have a posse that's going to make sure I don't chicken out. I just need life to line up with it.
No, it's Spring! According to the calendar...
Lots of melt and slush and cr@p. Pain in the butt if you're trying to walk anywhere. Hopefully gone soon...
Absolutely. There will be a next winter.
Was reading about the state of sexual education in Poland.
...
*sigh*
One would think that with easy access to wikipedia people, and especially teenagers should know more than my generation did. It would be wishful thinking however...

It is because we tend to mistake information for education and education for wisdom.
Alas, you cannot really download wisdom from the internet.

Whenever you can make it, we'll be glad to have you with us! (We're working on getting a regular Pathfinder night started there, which would also give you more options.)

Randomly decided to see who freak in this thread when I say I'm about to go be drained of bodily fluids for money.
** spoiler omitted **
Are you allowed to do that legally where you are? I was under the impression that men who have had sex with men are still legally barred from donating blood products in the US.
Oh wow, is that really a law? I thought it was just Red Cross policy (which is bad enough).
I hope I am not too late with the French gay marriage stuff, and I hope I haven't been ninja'ed, but I was reading in some commie propaganda that the revolutionary penal code of 1791 removed laws against sodomy and declared it an "imaginary crime."
Reading all of that Diderot (pornographer) and Rousseau (bragged in his Memoirs about all the hawt threesomes he engaged in) must've paid off...
Anyway, the article went on to say that the Napoleonic code of 1804 reintroduced various morality legislation, but that homosexuality wasn't criminalized again in France until 1942 under the Vichy Regime.
Vive le Galt/Goblins do it in the street!

Yep it is. All blood banks and agencies are regulated by the FDA, and FDA regs ban it entirely. If you are a male who has had sex with a male, even once, since 1977, you are indefinitely deferred from blood donations (that is the official criteria).
A link from 2007 (although nothing has changed since, to my knowledge).
I remember in 199? one of my comrades telling me he couldn't donate for that reason. It was one of those eyebrow-raising moments for young Doodlebug, because he was married to a woman and all...
Ah, young Doodlebug, so inexperienced, so naive.
Also, does anyone else think it's funny that those who have been paid for sex can't donate blood, but, apparently, those who have paid for sex can?
Again I am thinking about blood donation. Hmmm.
*sigh* If I started after finishing high school I would have a free perpetual bus ticket by now.

Do not microbes follow the flow of the money and not the other way around? Claiming otherwise would imply that rich can catch disease from the poor and we can't have that, can we?
...wwwwwhich is actually a pretty good policy. Medically, performing corresponding procedures would require full operation sterility, autoclaved instruments, and so on. Tattoo workshops do not provide this, and could not sell their product if they did, considering the price they would have to charge. Thus, they have bad sterility, they do pierce the skin, and they do spread primarily hepatitis B regularly. If this is nitpicking to you, ask yourself whether you would have a problem getting surgery performed by a hepatitis B-positive surgeon, and if you would prefer a hep B-negative one.
A test for hep should be done before anything involving bodily humor donation.
They do. However, in case of infection with some viruses there is certain early period where the testing will give negative results.
In Poland having tattoo made disqualifies one from donating blood for 6 months, the same period as in case of surgeries, some diagnostic procedures, some cosmetic procedures, some illnesses, returning from regions of world with certain diseases being popular (generally tropics), having blood transfusion or leaving prison.

Fridays are hard for me because of work but I understand that there are other meetups there as well so I'll keep working on it. I see that it is only a few hours long. What kind of games do you play?

Normally at Ladies Gaming Night people play boardgames and Magic. I've played Dominion, Dixit, and... I think Pandemic there my last couple of times—I usually roll in relatively late, (close to 8pm since I bus) and turn into a pumpkin early, so I don't pack in as many games as one could if determined. :P
I think this may be the first time where the focus is on RPGs—hopefully with pre-gens there'll be enough time to get through one-shot adventures!

Wow,you're well informed,my little goblin with a rose between his sharp teeth!
Everything I know, I learned from communist propaganda.
Vive le Galt!

Possibly missed an opportunity for a hooking up with a smart, attractive, funny gaming woman over a month ago. Apparently a day after we were sitting with common friends in club she started dating some guy.

It wouldn't be a first time. I don't expect this to be the last. Missing opportunities and bad timing are probably some sort of my special abilities...
Last year I had meet a certain woman during a gamer friends meeting. Later I heard from a common friend that she asked about me - supposedly about my GMing but I am not so sure because of that smirk on his face when he was saying that. Or maybe I am reading too much into it. When I got FB account I learned that she just moved back to her hometown.
Count yourself lucky. Long distance relationships stink forty-three kinds of crap.

Not always, Sissyl. :) I'm in a (extremely, as in cross-hemisphere) long-distance relationship! 2.5 years and goin' strong. (We did live together for 1 year of that, though. And not the first year either!)
I think that it might be hard to handle for a lot of people though. The lack of physical presence would be a killer for many. And I think a lot of people go into it with stars in their eyes and dreams in their head rather than looking at the cold, hard facts.
Two things you have to face and seriously discuss from the outset for a successful LDR (imo):
1. Are we prepared to be in this for the long term? If you can't say yes to this with 100% assurance, don't even bother.
2. When are we going to move together, and to where? If you can't see yourself leaving your current location, or them theirs, then it's not going to work. Don't even bother. A timetable of "when" also helps a lot, rather than some ephemeral "Yes, sometime in the future we'll be together".
It also helps knowing when and how you'll be able to meet up with each other, preferably on as regular a basis as feasible (e.g., every X months) rather than "When we have time".

I was also in a LDR for 2+ years. I'd add a few more bits of advice to that but will close instead with the following: Yes, they do suck. Yes, these also force a development of communication and realistic expectations that may not be present with up close and personal relationships. There are more "open" or DADT relationships then are publicly discussed. Yes, they can work if the end goal is mutual.
I was speaking from experience. Forty three kinds of crap.
But, baby, I thought we were doing so good!
