Guard Dog

Thank you Sir! Two weeks ago I had no idea what a Soil, Water, and Resource Engineer even did. In two more weeks I'll be seeing first hand.

It's been an amazing 48 hours. I received a call from the man I interviewed with at the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation a few weeks ago. I never expected to hear from them again because, to be honest, I didn't think I was remotely qualified for what they needed. They called me Monday evening to ask if I'd be interested in a second meeting. I met with them yesterday and today they made an offer. Which I gratefully accepted. It's not a lot of money, to be sure. But it is a radical departure from anything I've ever done. I'm really looking forward to the new challenge. I guess it never hurts to think outside the box where your career is concerned.

Wait... Volo is giving ME grief for spamming a thread? Besides, the NBA is sort of in a grind right now and this is the only hoops thread we have. Now then, who else is going to take a shot and fill out a bracket? Tell you what, whoever gets the closest gets a free copy of PoE. What do you say?

The last ruleset I really learned was 2E. Always has been my favorite. Of course I was in high school and actually had time to do things like D&D and friends to do it with.

I've only know one person who actually was Russian by birth. He was an engineer I worked with about 15 years ago. He didn't have anything nice to say about Russia, that's for sure.

I just realized I have the four 1 seeds in the Final 4. Well, one thing about this season, the difference between 1 & 2 has never been greater. I think Wyoming & UCLA are the two teams that will screw everyone up.

Bracket time folks! Here is mine: If you want to try your hand at is you can get them here: http://www.printyourbrackets.com/fillable-ncaa-tournament-bracket.html

Or a kidney if you're not

Actually it's a sign the breeder is respectable that they are waiting 10 weeks. Puppies usually wean by week 6 but are best socialized in 10-12 weeks. A lot of breeders sell them at 8 weeks but I've found they do better if you wait a little longer before sending them out into the big wide world.

From what I reading on the forums over there it will be later than sooner. So far they have been very tight lipped about what it's got. The only things confirmed are 5e rules and DM control for multiplayer. It has been confirmed there will be a single player campaign but it came from one of the devs in a forum rather than on the "official" side of the site.

Booze is one thing. But if you're going to do stuff like that might as well drop out of college. Why put knowledge in your brain when you're just going to burn it out anyway. Just my $.02

Corn Chowder (made in the crock pot all day today) and grilled cheese.

Location, location, location I guess.

You know it's a sad thing the shape the reservations of the former plains Indians are in. Especially when you compare it to places like the Seminole and especially the Miccosukee Reservations in South Florida. The Seminole Tribe operates a four enormous resort/casinos in Florida so that helps obviously. The Miccosukee reservation at Big Cypress (aside from the tourist areas) looks like any middle class suburb anywhere in Florida. Most of the houses would fit in any gated community in West Dade county. I know the history and real estate is not the same but it still makes you wonder, what are they doing the ones in the Dakotas, Wyoming, & Montana are not? Actually, I'll tell you one thing: Do Not speed in Big Cypress. You WILL get a ticket. I can tell you that from experience. And they are more expensive than Florida

I know there is a need but, a call like that? It's a little too vulture like. I think I'd have been put off too. Besides, if someone told me St. Jude was their beneficiary rather than be rude I'd shake their hand and buy them a beer. Besides, you're young enough that this is not something you have to worry about for a long time.

Yeah no kidding. Good to see you back DN. Wow, first Taks, then Cant, now Deadly Nightshade. This place is starting to class up again.

I tried to come up with something as witty as Shady did. All I came up with is: In before lock!

Shoot, they could have fixed the whole health insurance mess with just one law: Any company can sell policies to anyone in any state. Problems solved. I don't want to derail this thread though.

Yeah, but its packed with tourists. That's what spring breakers are!

Wow Ros, I find your impassioned defense of Iran a little hard to understand. Maybe you're right and they are just harmless little fuzzy kittens and that whole state sponsorship of terrorism is nothing to worry about. But, whatever. Personally I could give a f--k what Iran thinks or does. I'd say the only two ways to deal with them is to wipe them out or leave them alone. Preferably the latter. IMO the US has no business involving itself in, as I stated, anything east of Puerto Rico or west of Attu. Treaty or no they'll either build weapons or they won't. If they do and use them that will probably be the end of them.

I forget who it was but someone said you tell how long someone had been around by what name they knew him as. I thought Dark Raven's were the easiest to spot because she would argue with them.

Migrating? No. Just visiting. I'm sot seeing too many familiar faces from the BI or even Bio boards over there. Although there are plenty of folks familiar with the IE games. I think most came in with NWN Online and games like that.

I spent the entire day playing HOMM 4. I don't even like that game that much. But I was on the campaigns and I just kept going. So far I think HOMM 3 was the high water mark for the series.

Figured out how to get my forum badge to display over there. It was sort of a pain.

Oby hasn't showed up yet. Don't worry, he won't let us down.
