Sounds like fun bro!  How will teams be assigned?

Thank you Fenix.  I'm sure the wife will enjoy if she ever gets around to installing them....

 

For anyone else checking out the posts I would rank Fenix 5.5 stars.  Everything came fast and was packaged great.  Nice clean cards and I don't doubt they will work as indicated!  Recommend doing business with him anytime.

I'm down for Hero Quest, seams like Catan is dominating the playtime right now since everyone knows how to play.  Won't be on tonight but will be back Sat and Sun night.

TbT, Limit, Rythmic, and myself got in some CS:Monopoly a couple days ago.  Pretty fun stuff.  I think TbT got some screenshots.

I would have to autodraft/preset my draft.  I work Sunday nights.

Hey Architect,

 

First off I applaud your efforts.  It is people, like you, with strong morals and will that have changed this world from a place that locks up people with autism in mental asylums for a lifetime to one that has given them the opportunity to integrate and contribute to our society.  Before you read any further understand that is an incredible feat that very few people are willing or even able to undertake.  Bravo!!

 

My youngest sister has autism.  She turned 18 this year and I've experienced first hand the frustration you are dealing with.  You are probably dealing with some of the most trying times in this young man's life.  Clearly you have created some sort of bond with him and feel the weight of responsibility to ensure his future success.  I remember when she was entering her teenage years how incredibly difficult it was to try and integrate her into groups her own age.  How many times she tried so hard to be part of the group and fell short, not because she wasn't willing to put forth the effort, but because there are so many others who are unwilling to meet her in the middle.  I can tell you they have all missed out on some of life's most incredible rewards.

 

I remember when she was probably the same age as the young man in your troop.  I took her fishing with my son who is only a couple years younger.  There was an old man helping all the kids bait their hooks and untangle lines.  At one point she caught her line on a rock and he approached to help.  I didn't have a chance to stop him and of course as soon as he said hello she broke down and began to cry.  You would think the guy was going to put the hook in her, but he loosed her from the rocks and baited her hook while clearly uncomfortable about the young girl sobbing.  Strange thing is though while other kids would have wanted to quit fishing, as soon as the man was off to help other folks she calmed down.  Some time later, she went back to fishing.

 

I could tell you lots of similar stories that ended better and worse.  That particular one is more significant to me because it marked a point where I began to understand who she was.

 

At the end of the day there are things you can change, there are some you can sway, and there are others you have no control of whatsoever.  The only thing in life you have 100% control over is yourself and the only person you will have to answer to.  I could tell you there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but I only have the experience with one sister.  I can say that every obstacle she overcomes, every hardship she endures, and even the tiniest victory is incredibly sweet.  BTW she knits the most incredible things without patterns.  Things people who have been knitting their entire life would struggle with. 

 

I hope that young man is able to find his own niche.  I hope you are there to witness as it will be immensely rewarding.  Good luck to you either way and again, Bravo!! 

AoE haven't played in forever, but I'm down for TableTop!  Maybe even download AoE2...  maybe.

If there is an overwhelming call for more peeps I can reup the GC-Ringers league.  I think half those players were also in this one.

 

EDIT*

 

and you can add me to this one.  Sent you PM.

Sup Crawdacity!  Been brewing beer for a few years now.  I was doing extract brewing and recently decided to stop until I can start all grain brewing.  I have a lot of prep to do and some initial investment before I get to the kind of setup I really want.  I'm leaning towards a less expensive gravity fed system that will allow me to boil, cool and eventually transfer to primary fermination without the need to lift buckets.  All together I'm hoping for a cleaner and more efficient process and of course cleaner end product.

What FacePalmSmash said is all the L4D2 crew should go to FF and take over??

R2D2

Been playing this a little with the gf.  Drop in Mumble, PM or what-ev if anyone is still playing. 

For sure L4D crew should go go go.  There are plenty of folks in the cs community that have played l4d in the past and I'm sure visa versa; it's really more about community than the gaming at the end of the day.  The gaming just brings us all together! 

I know past events started with a first come first serve seating chart.  Great way to encourage folks to sign up early!

DOH!!!!

Can't we just all get along?
