TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 So my mom has been babysitting two small children while their parents are out of town. During their stay, they've gotten to spend a lot of time with the pugs. Bruce made a particularly deep impression on the girl, Caitlyn, who used some old Scrabble pieces we'd put in a decorative bowl to spell out her feelings. 6
Zathoth Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Naaaw, you should keep her. You can walk and feed her with the other dogs. 2
Orlion Blight he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Naaaw, you should keep her. You can walk and feed her with the other dogs. I'd advise against it. You may think they're cut now... but they grow up. 7
Zathoth Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Argh, Im out of upvotes. Sharders why are you so hilarious? But animals are always cute .m. 2
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 And I just applied to Chickasha, OK. I'd sent my resume and cover letter yesterday, but they wanted an actual application too, so I did that. Off to scour the rest of the US. 2
Silverblade5 he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 You get a cat. No. You get a dog. 1
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 No. You get a dog. You just get pets in general, their fluffy cuteness will turn any frown upside down. Blargh...moving house next week and I've packed up all my books and graphic novels...did not realise how heavy so few of them are together 1
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My feet have been eaten alive! Why mosquitos? Why must you do this to me? 2
Guest Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I suggest getting a Saint Bernard. I had one for ten years, before it died of old age. They are the BEST dogs (yes, better than pugs in my book). I don't like small dogs.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My feet have been eaten alive! Why mosquitos? Why must you do this to me? Stupid bugs. I don't know what kind we have here, but they're so small you can't even feel the bite. You walk inside and you have this enormous itching welt on your leg. Benadryl Itch Stopping Cream is wonderful, though.
Kaymyth she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 My feet have been eaten alive! Why mosquitos? Why must you do this to me? Are you sure that was mosquitoes? If you've been in the grass anytime in the last 2-3 days before the bites appeared, it could be chiggers. They're even worse. I vote for aloe vera (preferably some of the stuff with lidocaine). Stuff like cortisone cream stopped working for me altogether a few years ago.
Alfa he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 It is nice to be the one not only in the family but also between your friends who is the last target of the mosquitoes. Either they are eating my siblings or my mother or my best friend.I also vote Aloe Vera. Helps even against wasp stings.

My feet look like they were taken over by vengeful, red, polka dots, but I'm not the one. Who had the worst. You should have seen my friend's baby niece. She sat in a fire-ant pile, and then got bitten by other various insects throughout the night.Benadryl Itch Stopping Cream is so wonderful.

Ohhhhh that poor girl. How old is she? I keep a tube in my purse.
The Honor Spren she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I think she was two? Maybe a few months older. Apparently she has some really sweet blood Edited October 10, 2015 by The Honor Spren
Kobold King he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Just played a long, epic game of Starfarers of Catan with my brothers. I won--not to boast, but that's the usual outcome--but had arguably the worst mothership out of any of the players. I won not by scientific innovation or diplomacy, but by selling my resources at exorbitant prices and building colonies/spaceports from one end of the galaxy to the other. That's right. I was essentially the sleazy car salesman of the galaxy, complete with a dozen different outlets local to all of my rivals. 3
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I applied to Dallas and Mesquite today. I also brought a frozen pot pie for lunch. But I thought it tasted a little bland. So I mixed together a few spices into a baggie, took it to work, removed the top, and sprinkled the mix onto the filling before putting the top back on and baking it. I think this means I'll be making my own food when I move out. 2
Alfa he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Okay, my Dungeons&Dragons mid-low-level party survived the opened portal to another dimension full of hostile creatures. Now they are in the decision process if to investigate the death of the local kobold king (no offense, Kobold King) or hunting some mad wizard. Unluckily, in the second situation they will actually tap in a very...perfide trap. Willingly and knowingly. 1

Now they are in the decision process if to investigate the death of the local kobold king (no offense, Kobold King) or hunting some mad wizard. Unluckily, in the second situation they will actually tap in a very...perfide trap. Willingly and knowingly. Enter the portal. Slowly take over the alternate dimension. Enslave the native hostiles, and build an epic empire on the other side of the portal. Let a few years go by, then lead an army of the creatures back through the portal. Storm through the underworld. Find the kobolds. Make sure their king is properly entombed, then lead the kobolds back into the Promised Land waiting for them on the other side of the dimensional doorway. Oh, and once you have an army that mad wizard will hardly be an issue. Heck, you could bribe him into being a powerful ally. 2
Alfa he/him Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 One of the guys in the Party, a Dragonborn, is willing to do more or less what you suggested. Probably without taking over the other dimension, but he wants a Kobold Army and stuff. 1
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Has anyone else seen "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" yet? 1
WayneSpren he/him Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 This is the"random stuff" topic, and now I am going to do the amazing: Say something that is both random and relevant. I know, mind blowing. Anyway, I was just in the same aisle as Brandon Sanderson. And this is a Sanderson forum. So there. 3
Mistrunner Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 And I just applied to Chickasha, OK. I'd sent my resume and cover letter yesterday, but they wanted an actual application too, so I did that. Off to scour the rest of the US. *crosses fingers that Twi gets Chickasha job*If you don't know, Chickasha is pronounced Chick-a-shay. Don't ask me why.

What store? *crosses fingers that Twi gets Chickasha job* If you don't know, Chickasha is pronounced Chick-a-shay. Don't ask me why. Good to know. I'd been pronouncing it Chick-ah-shah while my brother pronounced it Chick-ay-shah. 1
Mistrunner Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Good to know. I'd been pronouncing it Chick-ah-shah while my brother pronounced it Chick-ay-shah. I'd pronounced it Chick-ah-shah too. It really should be pronounced like that. I guess it's a Southern thing.
