Winter 2007-08

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - 09:28 am: Edit

While I am traveling and spending time with family today, the Steves are in charge of the BBS.

Please be nice to the Steves and don't party too much on the BBS.

I'll see you all tonight.

Dibs on the ham. Hope you had a safe and enjoyable trip "Mom" (oh and I did take off my muddy shoes at the door).

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - 10:32 pm: Edit

Oooops. Anybody have some scales I can borrow?

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - 10:35 pm: Edit

I'm home!

I wondered what happened to the ham. And the hot chocolate. And spiced nuts. And the trail mix. And brownies. My, you have been busy!

Thanks for keeping things calm on the BBS today. I appreciate it.

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - 11:17 pm: Edit

Wait, wait, wait....I didn't have any trail mix. Or ham.

hehehehehehe (running away heading for the back door)

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Friday, December 28, 2007 - 09:22 am: Edit

Hi all,

I am going to be gone until Sunday afternoon. Due to Mom's computer disaster, I may not have internet access until Sunday afternoon.

Be patient--post here anything that needs my fingers on it, as long as it isn't urgent. If the situation is urgent, please email SVC or SPP to let them know what is going on.

Please don't break the BBS rules during this time--the Steves need to focus on CL and other products, not have to deal with flamewars.

Have fun. I cooked some more brownies...

Hey guys, did anybody notice the boar's head in the basement freezer? I'm serious, there's an entire boar's head down here...

Look again, Marcus. That's an Ork.

They must not be able to fly starships then.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Sunday, December 30, 2007 - 05:27 pm: Edit

Hi guys! I'm home! It's so nice to see you've been having fun.

John, I'll delete it tomorrow.

Howard, that's a good question, being I don't *have* a basement...

Marcus, I'm pretty sure you must have been in the wrong house if you got the head out a freezer in a basement. I live between two swamp runs and don't have a built in swimming pool...ummm...basement.

John, you do know I make butterscotch pudding from scratch, right?

Cooking sherry? Hah! Good burgundy for the pot roast, real sherry for the pork loin in plum sauce.

You do know that fly swatter you found is a decoy...I have a Brand New Fly Swatter just in case it is needed.

Michael, I see you missed one container of Malted Moose Tracks.

Loren, I hope you got the spiced nuts, not the ones I haven't finished yet...you know, the ones with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, all on a base of powdered brown sugar?

Tony! You left splinters!

Fiddlesticks. Now I have to get the splinters out and clean up the mud instead of cooking more brownies.

At least my folks sent me home with turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cherry jello with cherries, and mincemeat pie, so I won't worry about my emptied cupboards.

By John Erwin Hacker (Godzillaking) on Sunday, December 30, 2007 - 06:31 pm: Edit

WEBMOM you have just made my tummy tum VERY VERY HAPPY

I will be right over for the Butterscotch Pudding........hehe

January 2008, includes Summon Steve Spells

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Wednesday, January 09, 2008 - 04:37 pm: Edit

Quote:
You can play in my topic all you want...

Woo Hoo! Permission to clutter this place all we want!

BTW, you may want to start deleting larger blocks of posts, PPA was just cleaned in December. Or do you like cleaning every month?

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 09:35 am: Edit

Michael, as long as the play is kept down to a dull roar, I don't mind. I use the bold, centered headlines to catch my eye for real future work, so I would appreciate it if that format were not used by others here.

I want to keep as much information available to people as possible, so I tend to delete smaller pieces of the topics. One month seems to be a logical division and it is easy to announce.

I check all topics that are "General" talk once a month. That's because older posts (over a year old) are deleted from all such topics. I let individual posts slide until a complete archival folder has aged out.

I am afraid I am the proverbial curious cat and do check everywhere in the BBS. My morning reports let the Steves know which topics are very active, where there could be hot spots, if there is a post that seems to be a "Summon Steve" spell, and if I have done anything that might affect the company's image. If I find something in an area they may not typically visit that I think they would find amusing or informative (such as some of the excellent campaign threads which show the inventiveness and wittiness of the players and GMs), then I let them know of that thread as well. They, of course, check the BBS as well--I am always amazed at where I might find a post from one of the Steves.

And yes, I love doing this. I get to learn from some of the brightest people around. Most of the people who post have a wonderful sense of humor and I enjoy that. Dealing with strongly worded disagreements between people of integrity and intelligence seems to be something I can handle since both sides are willing to listen and have the good manners to not continue the argument once asked to let it end.

Mostly I like freeing up the Steves to do what they do best--creating new things for us all to enjoy.

By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 09:56 am: Edit

Summon Steve - 3rd Level Wizard Spell
Evocation

When cast, this spell summons an all-knowing outsider to serve as a mediator in any dispute. This spell will last until the issue is resolved, one (or both) parties are banned for the BBS, or until another "Summon Steve" spell is cast by higher level authority.

Casting components include the SFB Master Rulebook, internet access, and a source of dispute.

The potential caster should be warned that the "Steve" summoned is of true neutral alignment, and while passionate regarding the subject at hand - he is totally unbiased and may take which ever side of the argument he feels is correct.


Summon Steve - 4th Level Priest
Divination

Followers of Effen'Ee, including the High Priest Rayder can cast this spell to summon G.O.D. to provide the answer to one question per level of caster, unless this spell is cast in Columbus, Ohio where the effects are doubled.

Casting components include 1,000 cardstock chits (known as counters) per question asked (These can only be purchased through Adeebee) and a 30x70-inch altar inscribed with the mystic sigils known only to the Cult of Effen'Ee as the LSM.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 10:10 am: Edit

Tony, some warning next time! I nearly strangled with laughter.


By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 11:06 am: Edit

Sorry, Mom. At least the milk didn't come out your nose and ruin the computer...

By Joe Stevenson (Alligator) on Thursday, January 10, 2008 - 06:53 pm: Edit

Tony,

Spoken like a true RPGer. Well done!

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 12:42 am: Edit

Guys, WebMom is on the move again. My Dad will be 80 ( ) and he's getting a Real Birthday Party. I will be at said party. (The party does not include computers. .)

You know the Steves are up to their ears in work. Please let them focus on their work and not on the BBS.

I will certainly be back online by Sunday afternoon (barring Bad Things Happening).

Marcus, please remember that if the house has a basement, you are not in the right place.

I baked brownies, ginger crinkles, and chocolate chip cookies.

By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 12:53 am: Edit

But I wanted Chocolate Chip Crinkles...

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:01 am: Edit

Tony, the chocolate chips make the crinkles all soggy and not good. I did make some plain chocolate ones (rolled in powdered sugar). Will that do? I even saved the bowl for you (in the fridge, second shelf, covered with plastic wrap).

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:06 am: Edit

That's okay, I'll take the chocolate chip cookies.

By Joe Stevenson (Alligator) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 01:57 am: Edit

What's a "crinkle"?

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 02:44 am: Edit

Mom calls the ginger ones "gingersnaps"; my uncle from the NC mountains calls them molasses cookies.

The chocolate ones are a chocolate cookie that poofs up. It won't have the right texture with chocolate chips.

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 02:46 am: Edit

So "crinkle" is a different word for "snap"?

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Saturday, January 12, 2008 - 09:10 am: Edit

Not exactly. My temper may sometimes crinkle, but it rarely snaps...

Crinkle is more of an adjective describing the appearance of the cookie.

I'm off! Wish me luck traveling!

I'm home.

Hmmmm....the Gorn is not here.

Neither are my purple M&Ms.

But it was worth it. My Dad was totally surprised that the family cookout turned into his birthday party, complete with balloons and a chocolate cake decorated in Appalachian's black and gold colors.

Thank you all for not creating problems for the Steves to deal with while I was gone.

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Sunday, January 13, 2008 - 06:40 pm: Edit

Any leftover cake?

Jean,

I'll see if I can get you some premium, silver coated M&Ms for Origins.......

WebMom Greensboro Bound!

The chicken salad is done, the potato salad is finally done (it took the potatoes forever to boil!), the homemade applesauce is done, and the Steve-toxic cheese ball is done (onions, green peppers, and seasoning salt with onion would do them in and that is why it won't travel to Origins).

You all be good and do not annoy the Steves.

Remember that tomorrow I start pruning the BBS. If you want to keep something listed for deletion, save it. If you need more time to save something, let me know. "I need more time to save it all," won't work though--I need to get cracking on this project.

I do want to take a moment to say thank you. I know that there are times that you sat on your hands and didn't write the response you wanted to. I know how hard that is and I appreciate it. Some of you have taken the time to tease me and it always lifted my heart. When I came to you with problems, you tried your best to give good suggestions. I will never forget the response to what I feared was the daylily disaster.

You guys are the best.

Jean

(P.S. Marcus, if you guys decide to party here, remember it is a one-story house, no basement, and no orc's head in the freezer.)

By Ryan Opel (Ryan) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 08:37 am: Edit

You mean there is no Orc's head currently in the freezer or that we shouldn't leave one in the freezer?

By Howard Bampton (Bampton) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 09:37 am: Edit

Well, since she'll be back in a few days, it should keep just fine if we put it in the fridge...

Safe trip to you WebMom.

By Mike Curtis (Nashvillen) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 01:30 pm: Edit

Fear mumbles to himself... "Where did she put the cookie jar with the soft molassas cookies?" Looks around and under the large flower pot in the front hallway finds what he is looking for... Laughs with glee and goes to the kitchen to get a cold glass of milk and sits down to watch the Titan's trash the Lions... Even with WebMom's Woobie.

By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 01:39 pm: Edit

Scoot over some, Mike.
Evelyn ran me, my miniatures, and my Dremel tool out of her living room.
I'll join you at Jean's and watch the Titan's while I grind away at the masters for the Juggernaut and Pegasus. Surely, Jean won't complain too much about the metal shavings... After all, I found the package of Double Chocolate Chip cookies that she hid for me. No one else would ever have looked in the vegetable crisper, underneath the salad mix, in the package labeled Spinach!
Good hiding place, Jean. Thanks for keeping them safe for me...

By Michael Lui (Michaellui) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 03:55 pm: Edit

Who puts orc heads in the freezer? They're too large for that treatment. It's goblin heads that go in the freezer. You can easily fit 3 goblin heads in the space that 2 orc heads take up.

Not fair that you guys are eating all that good food. While I'm stuck feeling like I'm starving to death. (Stupid meds put your appetite in HIGH gear. Put on near 15lbs. in two weeks.)

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, November 27, 2008 - 10:56 pm: Edit

Hi all,

I'm home again.

Even with jinx me rooting for the Titans, the poor old Lions didn't stand a chance.

K'Ehleyr and Ralph are enjoying their new orc heads and will get the goblin heads when the orc heads are used up. Kane and Dallas, my nephews' Rotts will be sooooo jealous.

The cheeseball was a big hit. As for keeping the Steves in line with it, that isn't really necessary. If you have read the Starblog entry about Captain's Log #38 you know I have more effective ways to do that . . .


*checks the top secret stash of dark chocolate malted milkballs*
*notes they are all there*
*gives thanks for them and all of you*

Happy Thanksgiving!

And for those of you going shopping tomorrow (of your will or of others'), Good Luck!

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 11:08 pm: Edit

Tony, thank you (I think) for guarding the cookies so carefully. Did you give FEAR the molasses ones?

A WebMom has multiple special sensors available to her in order to detect little Klingons.

Marcus, I did wash my skillet after I cooked hotdogs in it. It has been a while since I made pineapple upside down cake in it, though. If you smelled anything else, you may have been in the wrong house again--remember the house doesn't have a basement or a second floor.

Andrew, the last nuts I did were roasted spiced pecan halves (brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice). I haven't cooked peanut butter cookies in a very long time.

By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 11:54 pm: Edit

WebMom on the Road


I'm leaving here very shortly to head up the road to my parents. We are celebrating Mom's birthday this weekend.

My access to the BBS will be limited.

If folks act up as they did in May when I was at home, then if I see it, I'll be deleting posts wholesale and shutting down affected topics. I would hate to do it, but with limited time, I'll have to nuke everyone and let the G.O.D. sort them out.

As the Steves are working diligently on Captain's Log #40 (Write, m'dears, write! Write faster, or there will be no gruel for you tonight!), please do not force them to intervene.

Now, y'all go have fun blowing up ships and bases and Space Thingies That Go Bump In The Night. Do NOT blow up the BBS. Do not poke each other with pointed words.

I think there is some chocolate ice cream in the freezer and maybe a cookie or so in the cookie jars. There's even milk in the fridge. But if you touch the Cherry Garcia ice cream or my birch beer, then you may plan on having a close encounter of the eighth (Griswold) kind.


Be good and I will be back home on Sunday.

Yaaaaaaaaaaahhooooooooooooooooo, let the party begin. Mom's gone!

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Saturday, November 07, 2009 - 12:05 am: Edit

John, did you look in the veggie crisper? I hid the Gorn food (i.e., butterscotch pudding) in there so no one else would find it.

GLENN! I saw you using pointed words! You stop that young man, or I will use the maple cane on you and you'll be wishing I had just used pointed words on you.
* snickers out of Glenn's hearing *

I'm not telling where the CC cookies are hidden, but I know that Tony will find them anyway.

Somebody smack Rob's hand! Ruining my birch beer by using it as a float. What on earth is he thinking?

New recipe going home with me is gingered chicken stir-fry. Totally Steve-toxic (onions, green and red bell peppers), but very yummy.

Will, how did you get chocolate brownies to my folks' place?

Gotta run again. Tomorrow is birthday celebration, admiration of the new fence, maybe bowling, and hanging out with my parents.

By Steve Wagner (Waggs) on Saturday, November 07, 2009 - 01:55 am: Edit

The pudding for the Gorn?!?!?!?!? Ooops, took some to put on the sheepdog's nose to see if I could drive him crazy.

Hmmm... whadda ya know...
Found the CC cookies.

Who'd have thought to look in the basement, behind the furnace, next to the spider colony for the shovel...
Then to dig a hole next to the mailbox post (beside the poison ivy vines...) to find a key that unlocked the padlock on the footlocker stored in the attic...
Inside that was a box labeled "Radioactive Materials - DO NOT OPEN!"...
Fortunately, I'm the Radiation Safety Officer at work, have been HazWOPR and HazMat trained...
And on top of that, I had both my TLD and a survey meter with me, so I opened the box (after perfoming a thorough survey and verifying that I would not be violating any NRC regulations re: exposure to members of the public)...

Inside were 2 dozen, Chocolate Chip cookies...

yum!

Thanks WebMom.

A certain Gorn might find butterscotch pudding in the fridge.

The cookies are nice and safe.

Do have a lovely Thanksgiving. I want to take just a bit of your time and tell you that I give thanks for each of you. You brighten my day and you have lent me strength when I needed it.

Hey... found the chocolate cjip cookies.

The phase-inverted cookie jar was a nice touch. Fortunately, my Boy Scouts recently built a tachyon detector and I was able to find it due to the tachyon emissions.

The hard part was forcing in back into real-space by focusing a neutrino pulse at the tachyon emission source. Calculating the phase differential in order to judge the strength of the neutron pulse required took the assistance of a friend who's a math major - so I had to give him some of the molasses cookies in return.

Fortunately, he doesn't like chocolate. We left the rest of the molasses cookies for FEAR; and we didn't touch the ginger snaps or the snickerdoodles.

Thanks, Webmom have a happy Turkey Day

OK. I got the mop out, cleaned up the drool puddle on the kitchen floor, and put the mop back away.

Glenn, I don't mind the raids -- someone usually cleans up and sometimes I find surprises waiting for me. And besides, Saph likes men and this way she doesn't get lonely.

Thanksgiving was fun as usual. Selena, a 12-week-old chocolate lab, was just as cute as can be. The food was plentiful and just scrumptious. Plans were made for Christmas and the time needed to get back here to catch the bus to Amarillo was established. Looks like a very short day with family as I'll need to be on the road by 4:30 to allow for "issues" in getting from Greensboro to the bus in Lumberton.

Oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, mint-chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and molasses (ginger crinkle) cookies are all made and packed for the appropriate places.

Brownies are made and packed.

Hershey bar pie is made and cooling.

Fruit salad will be made tomorrow, early.

Computer and stuff is packed to go to Amarillo.

Guys, I'm making the final preparations to be on the road to my folks.

Most of the time while there, I will not have access to the internet.

I have arranged for K'rtis, Ketrick, and Kumerian to act as substitute WebMoms. Be aware, that while they may let you play rougher, when they do act, the consequences tend to be worse than a mere #8 Griswold to the noggin. They have access to space mines and drones and nukes and Other Deadly Things. The only instruction that Ketrick has is he is not to use a flamethrower as that leaves nasty scorch marks. (I don't mind if something gets disintegrated as there is nothing scorched and no evidence left.)

Y'all be good, do not poke each other or the Steves with pointed words, don't blow up the BBS, do blow up enemy ships, and I'll be back on Sunday.

I am home. The storms seem to have abated for the moment, but the last 25 miles took about an hour to drive due to the rain and hail.

Dad's doctors are on staff at a teaching hospital, so his treatment is going to be cutting edge and is currently being defined as "preventative". His hoarseness may be permanent, but he continues to make improvements in the clarity of his speech.

I'm worn out -- driving at night in bad weather is very hard on my nerves (we were going 25 mph down I-95 and the trucks were not passing).

I'll check out the damage from the storm in the morning.

Thank you all for your restraint on the BBS and for your well wishes.

* Hugs all the guys *

Y'all are the greatest. Mike Curtis and Nick Blank helped me get my "stuffs" to the convention center; Dan Knipfer and SVC are looking out for my nutrition. I was so exhausted last night that the guys decided I wasn't safe to drive. Mike made sure I had someone to walk me to the car and Scott Burleson and Roger Rardain got me to the hotel, walked me through check-in, and got my luggage and baby computer to my room.

Fire Dept arrives as house is engulfed in smoke somebody set the roman candles alight Second story floor has holes and fire were the candles lit roof damaged and north wall of kitchen has big hole in it good thing the flower beds were wet

Robert, I hate to break this to you, but even though you are correct that the Fire Dept had arrived, the holes you described were just burn marks, obviously easily correctable. The smoke damage reported turns out to be enormous plumes of Lavender incense smoke which will last for days. It's still night so the presumed damage was an optical illusion.
This stunt was never intended to cause damage.
Wait for the day-time reports.

Guys, you have a bit of a problem. Although you seem to have discovered something about the lower regions of the house, there is no second floor ... so where are you?

Absolutely do not listen to Jean. It's discus . . .

Obviously, she is so out of touch, it may not even be Jean but some computerized clone with an over-zealous spell checker.

Though, this "Jean" is correct, because we really don't want the "Steves" upset. Or are they really the "Steves".

I . . . I don't think I like this. I've never seen them. Have any of you? Did you see their ID? Is there some conspiracy to take over the gaming world? Have you ever heard of a game creator WORKING with their players?

I haven't.

Robert, better double check that fire mission.

I distinctly heard a double Whang there... is it possible that the griswold hit Glen, rebounded off the wall and hit him a second time?

I've heard of double whammies, but a double whangie?!?

Robert, just because you ordered me to stand on the red painted surface doesn't mean I did as ordered.
The wang/s heard were definitely not from impact on my body.
Jeff, same assumption.

By Terry O'Carroll (Terryoc) on Friday, June 25, 2010 - 03:52 pm: Edit

Jean is spreading disinformation. She doesn't want the other librarians to know that she is using the space-warping properties of large quantities of books (as revealed by Terry Pratchett) to get more living space. You might think that a Gibbsing from Jean hurts, but it's nothing to a Gibbsing from the Ankh-Morpork University librarian. Those long orangutan arms really give him some leverage.

By Steve Wagner (Waggs) on Friday, June 25, 2010 - 05:20 pm: Edit

I know better than to do too much damage to WebMom's flowers. Either she will remotely activate the Gibbs Defense System she gave the Gorn Lady Senator here or more than likely just gets the Senator and her two Orion minions here to carry out a through gibbsing. Ssindy says that was a pre-emptive "warning shot" as a courtesy to WebMom.

As to the Male Klingon, he simply watched me prepare a couple of the squirrels, give some choice pieces to the diminitive Lyrans inhabiting WebMom's domicle before asking why they get the good parts. My reply: Because the older one in appreciation will tell me where WebMom has stashed her private stock of Ginger Beer and brownies that she doesn't want anyone to get into while she is gone!!

Apparently that satisfied the Klingon Warrior sent to keep me out of mischief during the resupply run.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Monday, June 28, 2010 - 10:27 pm: Edit

I am home after running some errands that had to be done this evening.

I lost some plants, but the furkids are fine.

Everything is unloaded (not unpacked, but unloaded).

I already miss everyone very much. The Steves were always there as were the F&E guys (especially Battlegroup Murfreesboro and the logistics officer), the SFB judges, and Colleen.

To all those who contributed to my birthday present, thank you. I love it. The lovely small cast-iron frying pan's handle fits my hand, and the pan is just the right size for kneecaps.

SqueekyThulhu is on the bookcase where he can glare at me. He was miffed about sharing with mere bears, but he'll get over it.

And I have dark chocolate ...

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Monday, June 28, 2010 - 10:43 pm: Edit

I just spoke to Petrick. He and SVC are back safe and sound.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 11:18 am: Edit

SqueekyThulhu is a plushy animal, a foot-tall purple rat with thulu face appendages. Jean really wanted the new SJG thulu thing but it was set for release after Origins, and I thought that SqueekyThulhu would sooth her disappointment.

Fills out an incident report about unauthorized breaking and entering. Then, finding that the location is a WIFI hot spot, sends immediate report to local, regional, national, planetary and Federation law enforcement agencies.

Submits verbal report to the first responding state police officer (the local constabulary fails to respond for some unexplained reason), and resumes patrol. (I'll bet they were really good brownies!)

Robert,

You'll need the access codes to interface with the WPR (Warp Power Reactors) that we installed last year when Jean left the house... her local utility service (which apparently is 220) is simply not sufficient to power a standard class 2 security package (its that dang disrupter, those suckers are power hungry and have no ability to hold a charge worth a tinkers darn!)

As I recall, the power conduits are in the lower basement annex to the left of the fuel cells. REmember to close the doors because Ally's play pen is nearby!

By Howard Bampton (Bampton) on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 03:27 pm: Edit

No basement, a water table maybe 2' below grade. I want to see someone work on those power conduits!.

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 03:55 pm: Edit

Howard, we dealt with that! we had to dig deep to find solid rack to anchor the Auxiliary Warp power reactors! we also had to expand the basement far beyond the foot print of the house for all of the support systems such as the battery room#1, pump room#1 and Pump room #2, Electrical control room, water flow control, not too mention the necessary support facilities for the various Bampton fire control equipment!

The painful part was having to sound proof everything so web mom and the menagerie of fauna and the various flora that cohabitate the estate with Web Mom weren't unduly disturbed by the sounds and vibrations!

By Tony L Thomas (Scoutdad) on Saturday, March 05, 2011 - 05:51 pm: Edit

@ Jeff: Funny you should mention expandign the basement beyond the footprint of the house.

while off-topic, an interesting tid-bit:
I recently visited a local limestone quarry to perform some inspections. This quarry mines their material from an under complex rather than the typical open-face quarry most locations use.

In their office is a detailed survey of the surrounding area withthe locations of all structures plotted to within inches of actual location. the companies mining engineer has then calculated bearing areas and tranlsted them to the mining map.

When you go underground, the excavation is nearly 20 feet tall and extends for a mile or two in all directions; except... where structures sit. There are house and barn shaped stone columns (stone that has been left in place)underneath each structure.

Pretty cool to visit actually.

{Klingon kid watches all the activity, shrugs, trots back past Ralph reminding him that he will share whatever he catches with the snares that he is making to catch the squirrels and birds that visit WebMom's flowers. Stops, looks back at the house and wonders if he could make a trap strong enough to catch that pesky Gorn that shows up once and awhile, decides he does not need any new boots although perhaps Kumerian or Ketrick might know of a Romulan who would be interested.}

By Jeff Wile (Jswile) on Sunday, March 06, 2011 - 02:14 pm: Edit

Waggs,

just you be careful! don't snag any of the Slirdarian Marines that tag long me where ever I go... Web Mom has promised direct and dire consquences to anyone harming (or consuming) the Slirdarian Marines, up to and including a full Griswold #8 strike.

I have no problem with the way you handle your Gorns... just remember that at night, in the dark, the relative sizes between Gorns and Slirdarians are close enough to make target verification difficult.

The General Rule should be: If it has a Tail, Shoot!

Hi Guys, I'm back home.

Wow, what a nice security system -- I can hardly tell that SVC broke down the door.

The visit with my folks was wonderful. Dad is doing better and that is good.

Thank you for not doing flamewar stuff.
