DungeonmasterCal's House of Respite

That's awesome progress! And it sounds like your doc is on top of figuring things on the strength front, which is great. And yeah, getting older adds levels of complexity to everything. Lousy whippersnappers, out there wasting their youth...

*shakes fist out window at passing young people*

Good job, Cal!

Fantasy NPC: Huntmaster Alvaris, Arranger Of Accidents

If that pesky neighbor baron is courting the same wealthy princess as you, or your older sibling is standing between you and your crown... You can always hope for a tragic accident during a hunt. That's sooo dangerous pastime, after all...

It's the Weekend of Storms Episode 2: Electric Boo-ga-loo!. We're forecast to get up to 12 inches by Sunday. And a lot of rain, too! Hey-oo! Try the veal! I'm here all week!

[quibblemuch]

Great Scott!

Be careful! I mean, I have no idea how you're supposed to be careful if a giant wall of water washes you away. That's pretty dumb advice actually. Why do people say weird stuff like that? And why do the TV stations make junior reporters stand outside in bad weather? Do they think we can't understand it if someone calmly says, from a safe spot inside a studio, "It's raining a lot out there"?

Anyhoo... hope you stay safe, Cal.

[Waterhammer]

Here, it’s a wonderful, sunny day. Stand outside in the perfect weather, so people can see how nice it is.

[Limeylongears]

It'll be quite nice weather-wise here tomorrow, apparently, and we have a trip scheduled (cue 'William Tell Overture') to the dump, to the dump, to the dump, dump, dump.

That's far beyond and outside the scope of his contractual duties.

[Sophie the Wonder-Jaw]

Sophie has found a home.

One of Scint's students recommended his brother. He's got a partner and two kids, has a flexible work schedule that will give him a lot of time with her, and is willing and able to keep up with her energy and her antics. We're confident this'll be probably the best result we could have asked for, all things considered.

We'll be taking her over and saying our farewells on Saturday evening, after we cram as many last trips to her favorite restaurants, walks around our town, hugs, snuggles, couch times, and rope tug into the next few days as we can.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better situation. A loving and active family for her to grow up alongside with kids to play with is basically the perfect environment for her. She is going to be a cornerstone of those kids' lives.

At the same time, I know there's going to be many nights in the near future where I get up from my computer to head to bed and reflexively turn to the couch expecting to see her there and usher her to her bed to tuck her in. Or times I wonder why it's so quiet in the house and go to see if she's asleep on Scint's bed or sunning outside in the yard. Or wonder why her leash isn't hanging on the coat rack.

It's going to be so quiet in the house and I'm going to cry so much.

But the important thing is she'll be safe, happy, and not in a cage, and with people who will love her.

These are probably the last posts I'll make with this alias.

Goodbye my sweet, bright-eyed girl. Never stop smiling.

Hey there folks, in the process of our preparations for the Big Move, we have a bunch of books we need to get rid of. We're not really interested in making a profit or anything, but if you'd be so kind as to reimburse us for shipping, it'd make things much easier. Reply or PM me if you're interested in anything in particular! First come first serve.

[Orthos]

Well that was quick. All books are spoken for! Thanks those who expressed interest - see your PMs for responses!

You would not force an old man to suffer cold, would you?!

Me and this guy would not get along LOL

Oh, I personally hate him.

[quibblemuch]

On the other hand...

Quote:

While not outrightly malicious, Old Man Heat has little regard for wellbeing of others, either unwilling or incapable to understand that the heat he brings everywhere is too much for most people.

I feel like more than a few of the people I've game with over the years might describe ME this way... at least, metaphorically.

Pfft. Whippersnappers and hooligans.
