Political meme worth spreading:

Patriotism

Show sucked. Tornado watch came out an hour after the show opened, and the crowds stayed away in droves. Dunno how we're going to pay for the trip to Tennessee now. The family reunion may get cancelled, at least for us. So much for my abilities as a provider. I can't bring in enough money no matter what the hell I do.

I have come to the conclusion that so-called "political skills" are more talent than learned ability. Either you have the innate gift for it, or you don't. If you have it, then a little practice is all that's needed. if you don't have the gift, then years of work, studying rulesets, working through simulations and roleplay, and endless practice ( Read more... )

Yay! My stainless came in! I can try and finish the stainless lantern for the show on 5/23 ( Read more... )

If you need X number of parts to complete a project, you will have X-1 in stock.

I had to put aside the latest necklace I'm working on, while riding the L tonight, to set up rings. Ran out of green opens right in the middle of a Byz module. OTOH, I met a gamer who's been around since the D&D three-booklet set.

Fragging overdrafts, fragging Spirit Fayre that cost us an arm and a leg, never enough money no matter how hard I work. And I lost a byz module on the L tonight, having to put stuff away because of a stupid Cubs night game and a big crowd ( Read more... )
