MisterVimes Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread *Ding!* Congratulations! Your marriage is now 17th level! You get a Non-Class Feat at this level. I recommend something from the "Feign Listen" tree. Improved Postive Response is a good one. You can sound like you're listening as a free action and don't need to make a bluff roll.

Michael Hopcroft Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I'm going to the opera again later this month. I hope you have a good seat. I really enjoyed my last trip to the opera but I had the worst seat in the house and by the end of the performance (which featured I Paglicacci and a staged version of Orff's Carmina Burana) I had a serious pain in my neck. But there's no experience quite like seeing an opera or symphony performance live, in person. Portland State University has a student orchestra, and several years ago I for to see them do a rousing rendition of Stravisnky's Rite of Spring (which as a ballet score caused a literal riot at its premiere in Paris). They also have a student opera company which puts on one production a year (they did a pretty good rendition of The Marriage of Figaro a while back).

I'm going to be in the rear balcony for the performances, since that's all I can afford. But I'm used to that view. When I was a student, I could get discount tickets and sit at the orchestra.

Michael Hopcroft Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I'm waiting for confirmation (and for the payment to go through) on a gift subscription to Opera News I bought for my mother. I saw the magazine at my physical therapist's waiting room (brought in by a client) and knew she'd love it. And I had the money to actually do it.

Enforcer84 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread I applied for an affordable housing unit in an area that was going to be high price (6-7 figure condos) of Portland on the riverfront before the housing bust. I found out last week I was approved, pending a certification of my income/bank accounts to make sure I'm not a millionaire in disguise and I get to move in when the units are finished in December!

CrosshairCollie Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread So, my wife is spending a few days with her family (due to my dialysis needs, I can't go with her). We met up with her folks halfway, and took them out for Chinese. My fortune cookie: "Now is the time for peace in your life." I nearly hurt myself laughing.

Caffiene hasn't had a "useful" effect on me for years. Drink a pot of coffee? Nap-time. Eat a one-pound bag of chocolate-covered espresso beans? Sleep like a baby. Still, while not as heavy a coffee and tea drinker as I once was (particularly in the USAF), I drank both pretty frequently, simply because I enjoy them. Since I still assumed it was doing something *to* me, if not necessarily *for* me, I've periodically quit indulging, cold-turkey (with no ill effects) for 3-9 months at a time, to let myself "de-tox". However... I started one of my de-tox phases about ten days ago. Six days ago, I got hit with the worst migraine I've had in roughly ten years. I was a wreck for three whole days. I don't believe in coincidence. I don't want to do that again. And I don't want to surrender the ability to "quit" caffiene when I feel the need to do so. So I'm quitting (no quotes) for good. This is not a new thing for me. I did much the same with salt and sugar years ago, for common-sense health reasons. Not that they're gone from my diet entirely; I'll have a dessert or sprinkle some salt on something once in a great while. The same will hold true for coffee and tea, and I've never been a soda-drinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
