Very clever idea, that. I'd been bumping because I wasn't sure when my CS account runs out and was worried that if I lost the Search feature I wouldn't be able to find our stuff again. Thanks for letting me know there's a workaround available--that helps me relax.
If anyone doesn't know or isn't sure of his character's available spell slots and/or current HP, please speak up. Now's a good time to hash this out, seeing as how we're resuming after more than a month's layoff.
I should also make mention that for the first time in ten years and for the first time in my family's history, we are, as of today, no longer in the military. My husband hasn't yet obtained full-time gainful employment but he is actively seeking such. Still, if work isn't found in short order, we intend to move back to the mainland. Naturally, this will in turn mean yet another interruption to our game here. I apologize for that, but am nevertheless hopeful that work will be found soon and that we will not need to move "home." Our children are content at their school here, and we very much like our church here. We would therefore like to stay and are currently exerting all our energy toward this goal. If a move does prove necessary, it'll happen sometime in September or early October.
Regarding WotC's announcement at GenCon late last week that 4th edition will be released May 2008, I currently do not plan to buy or implement 4E in any of my games. In light of our anticipated tightening of the proverbial belt, I'm sure you understand that I'm loathe to spend money on a new complement of books. Beyond that, I further confess that I seem to be becoming something of a grognard. I really don't want to make the switch and therefore probably won't. I intend to keep The Rod of Seven Parts 3.5 until either we finish it, or I run out of players.
