    Health Problems

    I buy dexcom sensors and with a coupon my pharmicist gets it's cheaper than what I was paying with insurance. Like $150/month. I'm not really sure where it comes from he takes care of all that. After the first time I used my insurance he said to look into it might be cheaper and it was.

    Some guys can't, especially when alcohol is involved. People are normally listening when someone gives you free tickets to the football game and such. Not really a friend thing however.

    Sounds good so far. Just be aware a barlow and magnification is the greatest thing ever some make it out to be. You know you will be a true nut when you wear a hood over your head and eyepiece when viewing.

    I like a total aggrp goblin camp as a dark urge gloomstalker. Just get on the rafters and shoot, kill, go invis, repeat over and over. It is slightly entertaining to have stuff literally standing on top of you that can't see you so you push them off. I used to push the eye into the chasm...

    Note on titanstring I didn't think about earlier. You have to unlock the stuff from turning in the chest to be a "friend of the family" for him to have it in his inventory before you kill him or he won't drop nothing but junk. I steal it instead of fighting tg the gnolls but you really have to...

    Don't watch any of the challenge runners on twitch. Some do no consumables, region locked once you do a region you can't go back, only radiant damage, lvl 1 through the entire game, only necrotic damage the list goes on and on. There is a lot they do to make the game even harder. If you can...

    Drops are by how much gold it sells for. So if you need a much lower gold item off him buy it first before you kill him. Go up a level and push the woman that you give the chest to. There's a smokepowder barrel near where she should fall. Shoot it with fire, spells, or alchemist fire. It should...

    A book, super exciting. I have a couple of earlier versions. Even the desciption has been "updated" from the 1961 one which is the earliest I own. AKA how to grow trees for ecological or profit reasons. Great book. When I worked for the US Forest Service for a short time my title was...

    I use a CPA to do my taxes, she also does the quarterly estimates and all the stuff that goes with it. I like it because my income is not regular at all. If there is a change that impacts me she lets me know ahead of time. It's never really been all that expensive. She does a lot of self...

    I like to get use misty step either from a spell or amulet to get into the trasure/chest room behind Dror Ragzlin after first getting to the goblin camp. The cash is nice early on and especially if you don't use Volo as an ATM. Misty step in, loot, teleport out to where ever.

    I did not look info the math but it's funny when you steal stuff and the DC is -3. All low value like arrows but still funny. Also for some reason Aaaron in the grove wound up with 4k gold and I would need like a 30 to steal it. Not sure how that happened. So back to Volo.
