Oh, it's not my mom. Love her to the moon and back. Not especially jazzed about possibly being a focal point in a small Southern Baptist church. I used to be very involved with the happenings at ol' Blackford Creek.
Lol.
Oh hell - I forgot. Hag - you provided all the great dnd book links, right? I think..
to all.
Yeah, I understand. It took me a good while to adjust. Plus, I cheat now - I use Ma & Pa's subscription cable TV account to stream at my house - like free GoT. They don't even know that such things exist - so it's not like we are overloading all the city.
I enjoy the pageantry of Easter outfits in the South, but the judgement stuff is awful. Much prefer the vibe going on at my church. This morning we had everything from full suit and tie, to t-shirt and basketball shorts, to button down shirt shirt with athletic shorts.
Ok, update after our early Easter brunch. Thinking about my previous post, I figured that there had to be better way.
Thus, we turned lemons into lemonade.
Rather than having my Mom feel bad about not knowing how to cook for me, we cooked the meal together - as a team.
She showed me some of her best kitchen tips - which helped me out a lot &, more importantly, it really made her feel needed again - which she always was - she just didn't feel it.
I did the ingredient adjustments to make a portion low carb for me. And, by working with me in the kitchen, I think it will be easier for her to understand & remember.
We are now gonna do it for every occasion like this. I get my low carbs - she gets her well earned feelings of being needed & being a good provider.
And, we both get the experience of being with loved ones doing something fun.
Win - win.
Great day so far.
This deserved more than just a "like"

Think we can all agree that Maurile is rarely inaccurate.Good stuff in the Politics forum...for once

Hags is the star of a live streaming D&D thing on the innerwebz (he'll tell you he isn't, but that's a filthy lie. Don't believe him).
I believe you, 5, & I accept the quest.
I've got a question...when did you all first see the Chick stuff?
I first started seeing the Chick stuff when I was verrrrry young. Maybe 5? I know I was reading, but wasn't in grade school yet when I saw the first couple tracts at the church my family attended (not Catholic. More non-denominational/Luthren, I guess). I was all "Hey! Little comic books!" then read that "This Was Your Life!" gem. That's the way to scare those 5 year old straight, man. Show 'em pictures of some dude's soul getting cast into a burning lake. That'll do it.
They used to hand them out outside of concerts in San Diego. I remember getting the tiny shoes one after seeing the Scorpions.
I remember a friend of mine brought one home from some church his parents were “trying out”.Man of Constant Sorrow said:
These things were all over school, the skate rink, etc. for a number of years when I was in school. I had never heard them pinned to anyone - but when I saw that cartoon, it was instantly recognizable. The term "born again" wasn't even used nearly as commonly as we hear it now.5-ish Finkle said:I first started seeing the Chick stuff when I was verrrrry young. Maybe 5?

Pretty sure Chick was a real hoot at partys. Likely hobbies were not getting laid in college and screaming at kids to get off his lawn. Oh, and then telling them they'd burn in hell for....oh, you know....sassing, or noticing an attractive person of the opposite sex, or for being a woman (cuz, curse those vile temptresses!), or playing a flipping game with dice that somewhere mentioned the word "demon" in a rule book, etc, etc. Clearly, I've thought way too much about this dude....but that ish terrified 5 year old me (especially given how some family members were like "Yeah! That's what'll happen to you Little 5! Better not look at a butt!")
In a weird turn of events, I almost got to work on a project that was being funded by Chick back in the early Aughts.....until I found out the old #$%@#$ was attached to it (he was in his 80s by then I think). Immediately told the group who contacted me to cram it with walnuts.
Aaaaanyway, I'll shut up for now. If you want to continue ranting about Chick (or, ####, D&D...I started playing again about a year ago) you can PM me.
Oh, and here's the link for Hags' thread: https://forums.footballguys.com/forum/topic/773953-masters-of-the-box-extra-stuffed-season-1-finale/page/4/?tab=comments#comment-21715404
I think my favorite tract where Chick tried to get all "science-y" was the one about moon dust. Don't have time to find it right now, or I'd link it.
"Sorry kids, them's the breaks! Hope you don't mind eternity with negative A/C!!"
Savor every minute because soon it will be over and back to normal life.Strongly tempted to pull an all-nighter on my last night in Vegas, but the better play is probably to get four solid hours now, and attack the blackjack table one more time in the morning. I have also worn out a second vape pen, which also factors into the equation.

You did shout "There goes Las Vegas" or words to that effect. The desert has a lotta holes in it, man.
