    Demons in the Mist (October 9th update)

    Me! :D From my PC's first meeting with the other players, I knew this was going to be an interesting game, but I never guessed just how interesting it would be. What a crazy, crazy ride. :lol:

    Personal Preference (P)for PHB Pronouns?

    I like this method best, but alternating he/she would be ok too.

    In Remembrance:2007

    My mom was over here when I read this. Woodwise was the first romance author that my mom ever read... while she was pregnant with me! :D She's the author that got my mom hooked on romance novels. Those led to her reading mysteries and other books, which in turn, turned her into the...

    In Remembrance:2007

    I called my dad to let him know about this. We're both HUGE Match Game fans. It's one of the only shows we can watch together and not drive each other crazy.

    REH style books and stories

    My dad's a huge Conan fan. He told me that the only Conan authors that he thought were any good were Howard, of course, and L. Sprague de Camp. I don't know much about de Camp's other stuff, but it might be worth it to take a look.

    Good, recent Fantasy books

    Butcher also has a fantasy series out called The Alera Codex that's an "other world" fantasy and is mostly about elemental magic, but there's a lot of politics stuff in it too. The third book just came out in hardcover & I'm waiting for it from my library. I read the first book when I lived...

    Suggest a book to me.

    This is an excellant post. I'm moving into a new place and will finally be able to organize all my books that came with me from Buffalo to join up with all the ones my mom's been storing. Boxes and boxes and boxes. :eek: These suggestions will help me weed out what I should keep, what to keep...

    Recommended Non-Fiction Reading List

    PBS was showing this as a documentry during the last few days. I saw some of it with my dad, but I think I'd like reading the book better.

    Dresden Files, who would you cast?

    Thanks. I watched it again (like I said, it's been on a bunch more times) and I'm still not thrilled with it... maybe even less so now. I might watch an episode here or there when their playing them repeatedly, but I will not be all, "Oh!, tonight the new Dresden's on!" like I am with my other...

    Dresden Files, who would you cast?

    It was an ok show for Sci Fi, but they could named it anything with the way they "un-Dresdened" it. So many things were changed: his apartment, his sub basement work room, the car he drives, Bob, the way magic and tech don't play well together, his coat, his mother's pentacle, how Murphy looks...

    Halloween costume help!

    I actually have directions on how to make a hunch that I posted on another site. "You need 2 white, v neck men's undershirts with one being a bit tight on the person (cheap & easy to find/borrow), a glue gun, white plastic bags (we used grocery store ones), and scissors for the hunch, plus a...

This Sunday, after a weekend visit to my Aunt & Uncle's in upstate NY, my mother & I brought my cat Lady Zeal (see Avatar at left) to come live with us.

    RANT: What happened to "customer service"?

    Same here. I wish I knew someone that lived near to one and could ship me non-/semi-perishables.:D Their bakery Choc. Chip PB Cookies, their Triple Fruit Spread, their Cinn. Swirl Bread. My parents are sick of me talking about how much better the stuff at Wegman's is. ;)

    RANT: What happened to "customer service"?

    I get what you're all saying. It happens too often that the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing... and in places like Home Depot there are a whole lotta hands. My point is that the person that found it could have looked at her ID and tried to callher about the purse. While there is...

    RANT: What happened to "customer service"?

    My mother went to Home Depot yesterday to get some shelves and fluorescent light bulbs. She was going to use the $25 gift certificate she got a month or so ago, when she was almost hit by some wooden shelves with plants on it (it was outside & it had gotten really windy). It just missed her...
