That was nice! I hope our card made it in....

I believe yours arrived yesterday.

Thank you.

Yes, that is it. It took 2 weeks to a day to get from here to there.
I was kind of hoping priority mail would be faster.

Roleplaying club got some new blood for the next campaign (Princes of the Apocalypse).
We used to have 2-4 players, and now we will have 8 players at the beginning.
Character so far are Fiend pact Tiefling Warlock, Earth Genasi Paladin, Human (Crossbow Expert) Ranger, 2wf Ranger Aarakocra, Wood Elf Druid and High Elf Arcane Tricster Rogue.
Expecting one Healing domain Cleric and fast (Aarakocra or Wood Elf?) Monk from the last players.

Group will be missing arcane artillery, but at least the healing overcompensates.
Also so far every character is spellcaster.
With this Warlock and Paladin in the group I will have to keep a close eye on player interactions and intervene in case of players not having fun. This worries me a bit.

Good evening everyone.

Our best DM (my hubby's best friend) and his wife, recently moved away due to his work so we haven't had a PnP game in over a month. How to know when you are fiending for table-top gaming? I'll tell you from experience, its when you watch other people play DnD (such as Acquisitions Inc) while you rifle through your character sheets and fondle your dice whist-fully.

Hey CD card should be there soon... Sorry it's a little late...
Been running a bit ragged what with trying to clean up the trees...
Work being crazy... trying to get the fence fixed...
Find out if I have cancer...
Sorry, I've been a bit distracted lately...

It was a thought....

But seriously...Thanks guys...

I'm trying to stay positive. And Trying to just play it off 'meh' like for the wife so I don't scare her.
The issue is with my leg, it started as what looked like a rash or something.
So I talked to the doc took the usual meds (usually work well) but it just got worse and worse.
So go to the doc and he says" it looks like "$&@$."
(Former Navy Doc.)

I trip to the Dermatologist and a biopsy later and here I am...
Hey CD; Killashandra and Berrigon don't know and I don't
Want to freak them out, especially since mom and the older sis, live with them,
Don't want to say anything till I know more... So I'm just kinda try it keep it cool.
Just kinda needed to get it out... praying for the best.

after hearing about it for maybe the 7th or 8th time, I've finally started a blog.
I'll give it a shot, see where it goes. I don't really know if I'll spread it or not, though.

I don't know, just seems... odd. As if why would anyone want to read it?
But hey, link's there if you want. And I won't complain if you like it and want to share it.

I've just posted a rather long um... post. I'd appreciate it if some of you could give it a look an give me some of your thoughts and remarks.

Good afternoon all.

Positive thoughts and prayers headed your way Bek. I remember a study we talked about in my Human Genetics class in college about the effects of mood on the immune system. People that were generally positive and tried to stay positive even during health crises tended to have elevated immune systems and greater white blood cell productivity than those that dwelled on the negative. I'm sorry that, that's about all I remember from it... oh and something about replacing watching the news with watching stand up comedy but I don't think that was part of the study so much as part of the commentary when we were discussing ways to bolster or support positive thinking. Hope it helps or at the very least gives you a laugh about all the odd things that end up being made into studies.

It is well though out and I think it has good form. I agree with most of it.
It reminds me about a book "Matka masennuksesta minuuteen" = journey from depresion to selfhood (only in Finnish, sorry)
It is about the writer's painting therapy, where she depicts her depression as a huge gray fish that coils around something small and colourful. At first she thinks the fish is her enemy holding her prisoner, but later comes to the conclusion that the fish is there to protect her from outside demands that were driving her to burnout.

that's quite an interesting take on it. feels more positive, in a way.

Coincidence. Funny word, that.

Considering your topic, and the fact that just a couple days ago I got in touch with someone I knew in tech school (1983) and hearing that her husband had killed himself a couple years ago.
