Nikolai Gogol, Yakov Smirnov, and.....Boris Yeltsin?! :p

I stopped counting at 150. That's a lot of RPGA games; if I took those out it'd be around 60.

The bathroom at Rennaisance Books in Milwaukee. It beat the gas station in the Little Rock (Arkansas) "suburbs" I once had to use. I think Kevin Smith must have visited the Rennaisance Book bathroom at some time, for he placed an "Excremental" in his film Dogma. Unfortunately, I had eaten...

I took typing in high school (back in early 1980s). My most recent typing tests were both in the early 1990s, and I achieved 76 wpm on both tests. I haven't tested myself since.

In a Dreamland connection (Ruth Brown played Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray), Van Smith, make-up and/or costume designer for all of John Waters' films, died of a heart attack on December 5, 2006.

I once made potions the players had to drink if they wanted their PC to benefit from the potion. This was in 1980, in a 1st Ed. AD&D game. Some fire related potion was, of course, just water with a lot of Tabasco sauce. Unfortunately, the group never consumed that potion during the session...

Wow. I've been here a while and made a few posts, and I've completely overlooked the cartography forum. Thanks for the link. And welcome to EN World, Arcana!

Ditto. Me, too. Agreed. I feel the same way. QFT. - - insert common internet phrasology here - -

I think I should change my screen name to Sybil: Weekend Warrior - 75% Character Player - 75% and Storyteller - 65% Power Gamer - 65% and Tactician - 50% Casual Gamer - 40% Specialist - 10% I'm a story-telling, power-gaming, weekend warrior character player gamer. :confused:

The table is mine!! Well, until someone outbids me. Won't my wife be surprised if no one does so?! :D

And if your next girl friend asks about your past, just smile and say, "I don't kiss and tell. Or *anything* and tell." Be coy. [grossover-generalization] Women like that[/grossver-generalization]. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. My daughter's dog died about a week ago, so we can...

Right. So when Angiers demands to know which knot he used, Bordon's, "I don't know," is a truthful answer. Angiers even asks himself at one point, how could he not know? If only Angiers had answered his own question at that point.... Did anyone else think that the opening shot--all the hats...

Thanks for the link. Looks like fun!

Bard is not a bad way to go, it's a terrible way to go with this PC. Original Poster: Gnome Rogue 8 STR: 11 DEX: 18 CON: 16 INT: 15 WIS: 11 CHA: 9 Bard is not the way to go, with CHA 9.

What I dislike about 3.5 druids: Players who don't prep and waste 1/2 the session looking up animals and applying changes to them (Augment Summoning, etc.). And they don't have their animal companion statted out either, so they're figuring all of its options on the fly as well..... I play a...

Thanks for the positive thoughts. They are greatly appreciated.

Interesting information, megamania. Thanks for sharing your experience. We find out tomorrow what sort of chemotherapy they have in mind. I know she's not a candidate for Gleevec, but I think they're mentioned a Gemzar and Taxitere combo.

Thanks for your prayers. They are appreciated. And thanks for the brutal honesty. I prefer that to deluding myself that everything will be o.k. when signs are that it won't. I will get some specifc information again soon. I've been told before, but did not write it all down and can't...

Umbram, thanks for the refresher course + information. The original "chronic cancer" (as I remember it explained, anyway) diagnosis was that it would re-appear in the same place--or so the doctors thought. And it did. They did not expect it to spread/metastisize--that's was my first question...

Good luck to your wife! I hope she continues to win the fight!
