    He says that since I'm smaller I'm a better candidate for this effort and I really can't disagree with him, as much as I want to. Our home inspector and dryer vent installer both made it out alive, so can I, I think. I am going to pick up a big shop light to put in the entrance along with a...

    There is a horrible death smell emanating from our crawlspace and filling the house. Just started a day or two ago. I tried to go in there yesterday with a respirator and gloves but the light from my puny flashlight + headlamp left the whole thing too dark and my brain would not let me go past...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I can personally vouch for the idea that (in general) people should hold off until 30+ to marry. I got married at 22 when I was an insecure and clingy little cunt. It ended about 4 years later and I started my current relationship with Mike the same year. While we haven't married, at 38 we're...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    There are people who are satisfied with all aspects of a relationship except the frequency or type of sex. For those people, legal prostitution would be a godsend to get their needs met while still maintaining an otherwise happy relationship. Sometimes sex lulls are temporary in an otherwise...

    Anyone have experience/advice for asparagus crowns? We ordered 25 from Territorial Seed and followed their instructions. We dug 3 trenches, 1 foot deep. In the trenches we made 8 mounds of compost and set the crowns on them, then covered with about 2 inches of soil and watered them. I'm...

    I have to drop out at 9:30 (12:30 est) this Saturday to volunteer at a plant clinic. Unfortunately I'm not permitted to advise on this raid's favorite topic (marijuana) since while it is legal in WA it's still illegal federally (for now).

    What do you do?

    I would probably do it, in my situation. I'm in an open plan office and it's hard to concentrate when I need to create a design doc or code and test something complicated. Plus people just stroll up and start talking to me all the time. I have earbuds but with a standing desk I can see all...

    We might be a bit late planting, but since this is our first year I'm being overly cautious. Per the guides the last frost date here (east of Seattle, WA) is April 22. We started our tomatoes (San Marzano & cherry), brussels sprouts, and eggplant indoors last weekend, planning to have them in...

    The fact that there is no "sell all junk/grey items" feature is unacceptable for a game of this age.

    I love this little raid group.I look forward to every Friday/Saturday run, not like some more frequently raiding guilds where I started dreading raid nights. As the old line goes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Thanks for the tip! Will fix that when I get home.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My initial thoughts were that the games for your friend are not MMO's but RPG's like Skyrim and Dragon Age. However then I thought of some things that D3 and Anarchy Online do which is relatively random dungeons. Perhaps they could reuse old assets from previous dungeons/outdoor areas to...

    I am going to go Ret from now on when we have 3+ healers, it was so boring most of the time on Saturday with 5 healers on some fights. Way too many healers fighting over nothing to heal.

    Anyone have experience/advice in landscape drainage? We live in the PNW and our house sits in the middle of a grade. The flat backyard area where our deck is turns to mush when it rains a lot, which is pretty much 6 months of the year. Behind our house is a ton of water coursing down the...

    Definitely not just you two, I personally ran in front of the seige, stepped on bombs, didn't LOS my mark fast enough, among countless other issues.It's pretty normal to have issues on a fight the first time a group tackles them. We were wiping at 20% on Maidens until we made a tweak, the same...

    Best Group pvE in MMO of today ? ( Not EQ or Wow )

    After vanilla, WoW dungeons just became currency generators. In WoD we only did the 4 necessary for the heroic ring quest and never did them again. I recall our raid group still doing attunements, getting resist gear, and even the fire resist buff from UBRS for Ragnaros. I thought EQ2 had a...

    For Blackhand phase 2, imagine an egg. The ranged/healers are in the center (yolk), Blackhand is moved around the shell, pooping bombs as he goes. The seige thingy is kited to follow behind the tanks, eating up all the poop bombs and getting destroyed by the marks. If this is done neatly the...

    Anyone else a fan? I first heard just a snippet of his songSteal my Kisseson NPR. This was probably back in 2004-ish when I was playing Anarchy Online. I still associate a lot of his earlier songs (Alone, Diamonds on the Inside, etc) with that game since I listened to pirated mp3's while I...

    Just want to give a personal shout-out to this fine group of gents. Mike and I weren't planning to raid in this expansion but when Moordryn started running the HM normals on Friday nights we decided to give it a try. We were total newbs to modern WoW raiding as we hadn't played since WOTLK and...

    Looks like the latest Grid2 update has a flexible raid option, the entire layout option is different. Might not need this fix anymore. I haven't had a chance to test it out, but the options for layouts look much better. The update did destroy all my settings though which was mildly annoying.

    Thread: Blizzard Conducted A WoW Former Player Study. Here Are the Questions Asked

    I think the worst part about WoD is that when you clear Normal BRF, you don't get to go to progress to a new, more difficult raid, you get to do BRF again only harder. Instead of 4 different modes for the same raid, why not spend a little more money and release 3 cool tiered raids? Release -...

    In my humble opinion I would do the progression fight(s) earlier rather than later on Saturday. Personally I like to get the "work" out of the way before doing the more mundane stuff. I thought it worked really nicely last week with Maidens. Also I think someone should always express doubt...

    This happened to me on Butcher on Friday which is why I was mentioning that my Grid was messed up. Thanks for the solution. Do you ever have the issue of the tanks not sticking to the first two cells of the grid? When I join the raid and the tanks are promoted, they will be in the first two...

    Apologies to all on my heroic Gruul derp. For those not there, I accidentally clicked my gear/spec swap macro instead of Blessing of Might before the fight, so I was healing with my Ret gear and wondering why my healing was so low. Reminded me of the time our MT in vanilla tried to tank...

    Yep everything of mine is keyed, no clicking (other than pots in Autobar). I use 123456QETGVC, then SHIFT, ALT, AND CTRL plus those buttons. That seems to work ok for healing, but for some reason for melee it feels clunky. The removal of a lot of skills in WoW has certainly tidied up my...

    I tried Ret in an LFR earlier this week. My best showing was 17k on Imperator when I paid careful attention to CLCRet. I'd like to not rely on that addon though. I definitely need to switch seals for the 2+ add spawns next time. The transition from healer to melee dps is interesting, totally...

    Thanks again! In some fights the tanks are taking so much damage it scares me a little to not focus on them (Kromog) but I'll try it. I'll try the macro. I have Prism on a mouseover macro, but admittedly I have to have to either have the boss targeted or hover over them to cast which is...

    Thanks for the suggestions on H&F, will try them all next time I do them in LFR or Normal. I am doing a lot of reading on Paladin healing (and now dps), what I find especially useful is when other Paladins ask what they are doing wrong and post their logs. Now the last time I raided with...
