More bad news.
Magnus the Great Dane will see his last day Monday or Tuesday :-(
My condolences my friend. Losing a fur baby is hard.
Speaking as someone that unexpectedly lost his furry friend, you have my deepest synpathies. It's hard to deal with them aging so much...and we keep going on. But I have hope that Magnus will be joining more of the legion of pets who guard and help us towards...something.
Sorry to hear that SS.
May his passing be swift and peaceful, and the happy memories strongly remembered.

JUst a reminder, I will be out of town for this next week, starting tomorrow (I should go to bed, it is 1:15am here) I will have internet, but not much time to access it. But I'll check in as often as possible.
Anyone in any games with me, please do bot PC's as needed, I dont want to slow anything down.
Have a great weekend, and a great week ahead!

Sorry needed to roll a dice quick
May magnus rest peacefully. A true loss.
Had to cancel my game tonight because my stomach staged a coup and I just felt too rotten to play. Now it will be a whole month before we get a chance to gather for our reindeer games again.
Dang it.
Know the feeling. We haven't gamed since the second-to-last weekend of May here, between work, vacations, traveling, family visiting, and sheer exhaustion interrupting our schedules. We're hoping to get at least one game in before July, but at this rate I'm not expecting it.
On the other hand, it might just be suitable to jump straight into our next Iron Gods block, since July I'll be on overtime and unable to GM anyway.
I’m getting my ass handed to me by some gargoyles ATM. might be a TPK, we’ll see

Fortunately still bolted to my back. TPK avoided by the narrowest of margins. Running away was the best option after our dice betrayed us badly.

In business news I have found an OCD-like delight in organizing discovery documents in legal programs like Concordance and Relativity. This makes me happy, as it seems like a majority of what paralegals do on a normal day.

And spreadsheets. Love me some Excel spreadsheets.
Organization of data is something that never grows boring. At least to me. Ymmv

I've been running it since 2005 it transitioned from table top to Paizo in 2011 so lot of plot points going on - glad you are enjoying it!

First 6 years of practice of Law bored me so bad I almost quit a few times so I know how that does feel! Glad you are getting fulfillment from it. A long term plan that is now paying dividends to you. Bravo! Most people are not so lucky

Heh I spent an hour last night convincing my ex wife to take her boy friend back. First time she's listened to me in 12 1/2 years. LMAO!

Once again, I find myself spending more money on gas than I do earning it via house/pet sitting...
Plus side though, I sleep in for a change...

Beach is awesome,
Sunburn is,... not as awesome.
Kids were having a great time, until they ended up crispy-crittering themselves second day in cuz they wouldnt listen and reapply sunscreen.
So, gonna not go to beach today until sun is going down, (heat index today is redonkulous) play in the water as the sun sets sounds pretty good to all right now. ;P
A beach day is pretty much better than any other day
I’ve got one pencilled in for the 8th.
That is also true! :)
Good for you Pat! I'll roast now, you can roast then, we'll be sunburned bookends! ;P
I've never been to the ocean.

It’s a great place to visit. I miss living near it. I know I will retire near it someday. Or at least have a summer place.
Hey, John! What's the good word?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Well since John and I are both within 50 miles of each other, I'm assuming he's ready for the storms too.
Also I hate the beach. The ocean should just be seen on TV.
*shrug*
More beach for me

Living near the beach is pretty awesome, IMHO.
(Post-katrina I lived in Sarasota for a year, close enough to the beach to visit any day I wasn't slammed at work.)
(Yeah, not too many) :P
I prefer to live near rather than visit (although I love visiting) because on vacation you feel the NEED TO VISIT the beach. Whether you are tired and/or sunburned or not. When you live near I have more 'Hey lets go to the beach today!' moments. :)
Now SAND, on the other hand, should be outlawed. That stuff gets in places you didn't even know were places, until you get sand in them.
O_o
(Love playing in sand, especially when kids were littles. Just hate trying to get RID of the sand afterwords!) ;P
Sadly, sand and beach kinda go together. ;)

Yeah I enjoyed the access to the beach oh the Cape. Not always for laying on a towel, but walking, Shell/rock collecting, pretty sunsets.

Honestly I prefer the winter tundra. It keeps things I don't want to see away.

Meh. I’m rolling with an Aasimar 5e living domain cleric with a face full of scars, a bad drinking habit and a fetish for tieflings. Melchizedek, but everyone calls him Mel.
Magnus the Great Dane died at 5:04 on Sunday June 24th in the sunshine of his own backyard of congestive heart failure. 6 years - 7 months - 3 days too damn young. He left behind one sad puppy brother, one eternally cheerful little sister [who informed me that he was in dog heaven with Shady the Black Lab (who I had as a boy and teen) EXCEPT when we are driving, when we are driving they are chasing after us], and one very sad doggy Daddy - he will be greatly missed.

In 2016 at the end of the year I remarked on how bad that year sucked starting in January here in this thread.
Then I remarked how bad 2017 sucked and how I was looking forward to 2018.
It seems 2018 heard that and said.
Not sure how much more s!*+ I can take at this point, in the last 17 days, I went bankrupt, got divorced, and now my f&#~ing dog died. It's not even July and I can't wait for this s+@% year to end...
I am sorry to hear about your bad years, Storyteller Shadow. I really do hope that things improve on your end and soon.
Damn, Shadow, what I called a bad 4 years, you called a bad 3 weeks. My deepest sympathy on this horrible June. Hang in there. One day at a time or one breath at a time, you can get through this. Sometimes, you just have to put your head down and keep slogging forward, even if you can't figure out why. The why will show up sometime. Peace.

My condolences man. My last few years were a lot like that. Left penniless by a faithless wife I’d just wasted 14 years with. working in a job I hated. Two dogs passing, and another taken from me, who I had to hear died from a third party so I never got to say goodbye.
The one thing that kept me going through the valley of my despair is the realization that we control and create ourself and our surroundings. I took the time to appreciate every day, no matter how difficult. I planned adventures and did things I wouldn’t have done a scant five years ago. I visualized where I wanted to be, and I moved Heaven and Earth to get there.
Everything is possible with faith and stubbornness. My fondest hopes you find some inner peace during this time of sorrow.
