@Minion-Queen Sounds like a good system, Danielle. @art_of_shred could give Liesl a lesson on how it works when we are in the area this summer.

Tee hee hee

@Jason So you had to buy a hotel-type remote and now the TV works? or now the manual instructions to unlock it work? It's possible this could come up for someone else and I'm unclear on the solution.

I can't stand softened water. It tastes salty and feels slimy. Lots of people love it, though. More importantly, many people need to have softened water, because their water is so hard that mineral buildup would destroy pipes and appliances.

The first time I went to Scott's parent's house, I could not figure out why the water tasted salty while I was brushing my teeth, and why the coffee always tasted salty. I believe there was actually a problem with the softener at that time that was making the water extra salty, but even with it working perfectly, I can still taste the salt.

If you are also sensitive to salty water, you could get a separate drinking water system, subscribe to a water service, or just buy bottled drinking water.

Eek! It's definitely better to go with your gut feeling about things like this than to end of robbed or dead. People who won't meet in public are up to no good.

I just had a great idea for an AoEII homeschool application. We can all take a different civ or pairs of civs that actually fought each other and play against each other. I think it could help the kids remember conflicts and info about civs. And we've always love AoEII game nights.

AoEII is such a great game. We all got AoE3 and tried playing that for the updated graphics, but they changed the game play enough that we just didn't love it the same. I would love it if they made the civs from AoE available in AoEII HD.

So this is what happened to me during Scale's webinar on Thursday:

@Dominica Guilty as charged...

They look... cozy. Actually, I think my 15 year old niece has a similar pair

@BigTimmy Fish oil pills give me horrible tasting burps. I just can't do it. When we were living in Spain and consuming tons of EV olive oil, I noticed that my hair was growing thicker and faster.

@BigTimmy I was also impressed with the amount of work that must have gone into making that, and the attention to detail - matching the style to each original artist. I would have spittake if coffee had been in my mouth for the last one. I want to know who owns those jammies.

Oh my gosh, tears running down my face I laughed so hard! That was awesomely ridiculous!

I'm picturing an anamorphic mango that can either be kawaii (super cute) or an angry little monster, depending on the situation. Man, I wish I could draw. I want a mangolassi.it t-shirt, so I've been brainstorming ideas, which resulted in thinking up a mascot. Does anyone else have ideas?

@Dashrender I wish I could tag the London theatre police in this thread...

@Dashrender No, that's not the same thing at all, also, you wouldn't be able to distribute it from your London jail cell. I must go see this. I know Liesl would be happy to sit through a play with me, just not sure about The Ciana.

I must go to London sometime after June 2016!

@dafyre Umm... yeah that thought had not occurred to me. Perhaps because I loved the Smurfs growing up, and wouldn't naturally picture them being murdered by lava.

I would like to find one to play... but it seems I just don't have the skill / knack for them. I played World of Tanks for a bit, and even Warsow,.. but both were paced more than I could seemingly take.

We have MC on the xBox - which again I don't play. Last game I was really good at was Space Invaders on the Atarii 2600....

You should check out a Telltale game. They have a great story and minimal action.

Yes, I'd love to see this in person, although I'm pretty excited that we may get to see regular old red / orange lava in person! I had always wanted to visit an active volcano. So freaking cool.

I've been playing Telltales The Walking Dead season 1, but it freaks me out so much that I can't play it for very long. I just finished all of the available episodes of Game of Thrones from them, and dying in GoT is so much less scary! I'm hoping that I will be better at the game play in TWD now. I really like the format, but it seems odd to include tasks that are so hard to complete just because of the controls in a story telling game. If there was an option to make it easier to target for those of us that don't like the whole "it's hard because the controls suck, not because it's actually hard" the games would be much more enjoyable for me, as it's how my decisions affect the story that I find enjoyable.
