Quote from: Windigo on March 10, 2016, 07:35:18 PMWell, I am glad to see the pissy contest has moved on to more noble pursuits like defining what a war-game is and the diff between a Euro and Amero game is.
And I still don't know the difference. Sad.
Maybe this helps?

Quote from: bayonetbrant on March 10, 2016, 08:16:15 PMYou know you guys are like 40 miles apart. You could grab B_C and get some face-to-face gaming in some time at the FLGS.
More like 30. Grab? Funny. He's going to be PO'd when he see's this.  Face-to-face time? Ha! Even funnier. He doesn't even have time for himself. Poor thing. He's really gonna mad at me now. *deep breath: tells herself, "Don't go into Dragon mode." More later.
I was referring to you and GJK being only 40 or so miles apart, based on the location you set in your profile.

Me to Houston is more like 175-190 miles depending on which side of Houston we're talking about but if you ever get to the Austin area CG, let me know!

Also, Texas is just big. At work we'll ask people who call looking for our products how far away they are from Dallas or Goldthwaite, and they patiently act like we've lost our minds.  :2funny:

I don't believe so - at least I don't remember that having happened before.  I'm actually 40 miles north of Austin in the country so JP- me and you could probably connect some time for some ftf gaming if you were so inclined. 

I just never make out to Houston but do visit my brother in Corpus every now and then.  I'd enjoy meeting B_C or CG sometime if/when I ever do get back to Houston.  Speaking of Dallas and Houston, each has a very active ASL community that is very newbie friendly if anybody in those areas was looking to learn or play some ASL.  ;)

You anywhere near Georgetown GJK? I was just over there a few weeks ago. My brother lives in Austin and his in-laws are in Georgetown.

No, sorry, I wasn't clear: we have distributors in Goldthwaite and Dallas. Our factory is in West TN, easily 9 hours from Dallas.  :-[

:smitten: indeed! -- though I knew that word. I'm guessing she got it the same place I knew it: from church.

Which gives me less excuse to mix up being jealous and being envious, duhhhhh....  :uglystupid2:

I'm just not quite sure what to respond to that....is it a hoax or truly a desperate ASL loving woman needing some love?  Does she clip her counters- that's what I really want to know....

Fishing is real popular around here.  In a few of the bachelor pads, there is a framed narrative that goes something like, 'Looking for woman with a boat who can cook, clean, do laundry, and skin a fish. Send pictures of the boat.'  I assume you're looking for pics of the counters ;)
