    How do I defend against the neighbors?

    Dang straight. :) Sue the kid, since he is over 18 and get the judgement. The kids are in school to get great jobs. Let paying you be one more thing the Real World (tm) has waiting for them when they graduate. Be ready to settle if the parents' checkbook has enough zeroes in it to satisfy you.

    Where do YOU steal your names from?

    Indeed! Like Theobold Holsopple that I used for a gnome. I don't recall what movie I saw the name on but it was reeally late at night when it was on! In my homebrew I used old historical names for locations. The first kingdom I ran an adventure in was called Akkad, since that is one of the...

    Cursing

    My wife told my daughter to say 'cheesemuffins'. One time we had left church, met a friend and as we walked along talking to her my daughter tripped, exclaimed "Cheesemuffins!" then turned to our friend to explain, "I said cheesemuffins because I'm not allowed to say s**t." :o

    Cursing

    Rodgrigo, you proved that you can effect a change in how you speak but you went back to swearing. What is it about foul language that fulfills a need in you? I'm just interested. I was in the Navy, and swore as most did. When I got out I decided to change, and not use that kind of language...
