It's 5 o'clock whenever you damn well say it is.

I got a new [to me] game in the mail today, Vikings. I think maybe I will set it up on the game table and see if I can figure it out for possible play at my game group meeting this week.

Yay, how exciting!

So, what do we call you now? granphenomshel? nanashel?

Seriously, have you decided what you want to be called? I remember when my niece was having her first and the grandparents and greatgrandparents all had lengthy discussions on whom could claim which name.

Hey, recluse. I hope you are feeling better.

I like Nana or Nonna. The only restriction I told her is that I don't want to be called 'Granny' because that's what the kids called my mom. And yep, 'Nanashel' works fine for me

Just got an update...she seems to be "stuck" at a 2 1/2 (if you don't know what that means, take it as a TMI alert and don't ask, LOL).

Are you sure, Ravenne? I think some people are going to get tired of baby on the way updates...

That being said, though, it might keep me from going totally insane over what looks like is going to be a LOOOOOONG process.

recluse · 10-25-2010, 06:21 PM

Well, I'm a big fan of the Baby Arrival Warning System.

And I'm gonna call you "Mean Old Bat-Ma".

I can usually figure out about what time of day it is in Germany, because I have friends stationed there. Australia, though? Don't have a clue!

If you google what time is it in Brisbane (Queensland Australia) you will have the time for montsnmags and me.

Yes we are.

But I was just joking, because I knew your attention was likely on our east coast (and couldn't imagine you'd be aware of the non-DST thing for us).

Cheers,

well said! I think. In winter we are the same as Sydney, but in Summer we are not!

Just kidding, but I do admit that I think of all you Aussies living within a stone's throw of one another. Not true, huh?

(But you and SneakySnake -- you DO live in the same time zone, right?)

Yes. SneakySnake and montsnmags live less than an hours drive away from each other. Different beaches on the Sunshine Coast.

Consulting with Rock Lobster and Red on their new adventure. In the Llounge under the Case of the Rock and the Red. I've got an extra alien in the back closet that I can't get into Harv and Vera, so I think I'll try to fob that off on them unawares.

recluse · 10-25-2010, 10:56 PM

Don't you have enough problems without asking for more, fobbing off aliens willy, nilly, heather and juan?

If it is undocumented I am turning you in.

Well, the rough road distance between me and the furthest mainland state capital city is about 4500km/2796mi by road (about 3600km/2237mi by air). The closest state capital city (aside from my own, Brisbane, which is only an hour-and-a-half's drive down the road), is Sydney, which is only about 1200km/746mi by road (824km/512mi).

To throw that stone, you'd probably need a pretty high-powered trubuchet.

And in somewhat contradiction to the above, and as SneakySnake says, by coincidence we live in the same "city"/local council region (Sunshine Coast) and are only about an hour's drive from each other at the most. We'd consider each other "locals".

Cheers,
Marc
