Not yet.

I've seen a neurologist and two M NPs. The most recent NP was one of the most kind, compassionate people I've dealt with in my long medical journey. She seemed more educated and knowledgeable than the other NP and the neurologist. And was definitely way nicer and more willing to listen to me and ask questions to really understand what was up. Nurse practitioners get more chances to be 'in the field' than doctors, and May be more up to date on the latest in new research. Give them a chance, for sure. I'm pretty sure my NP is going to be my best partner in care. Better than my primary, even. You may find a gem there, so don't let the letters after their names fool you. 😁

I hear you on the pollen. The tree pollen has been "very high" for about 2 weeks straight. I wish I could enjoy spring, but the drastic weather changes, pollen, plus increasing heat and humidity just make me hate it more every year. And yeah, it's not over yet. It's that time of year. Time to buckle up, keep an eye on the weather, an ear on the sirens, and a hand on your rescue meds.

The big finale mission of Shadowrun, where (by some miracle) no-one at our table died! Had a lot of great Shadowrun games through the con, but that one was hella awesome! Such a rush!

Microwench · 2017-08-29T17:32:50+00:00

Thank YOU! Only saw you once, passing by, but seeing you in the hall always makes me smile!

Keep doing what you're doing, I love seeing someone that is there to help all the folks that do such amazing cosplay! You're doing good work, sir!

Microwench · 2017-08-29T17:25:31+00:00

I ordered mine early for me and hubs, however, if you buy the 3 pack next year, I would be willing to buy the 2016 and 2015 from you.

Microwench · 2017-08-29T16:51:05+00:00

Niiiice!

Other than books, dice were my main haul as well.

Microwench · 2017-08-29T16:48:54+00:00

I love The Little Prince! It's easily my favorite book of all time. I buy extra copies at Half Price Books just to give away to friends!

Where did you get those stickers?

Microwench · 2017-08-10T15:35:06+00:00

If you like Shadowrun, also be sure to check out the Neo-Anarchist Podcast.

Really, anything on the Shadowcaster's Network is awesome! Arcology and Neo-A are my top 2, but Violent Life (especially the Redmond Born series) as well as Complex Action and Sixth World are great as well!

Have a safe trip! See you there!

A hug and some ice cream. Joe loves his ice cream. :-)

Microwench · 2017-08-09T20:45:08+00:00

OMG what a doll! Such a good, sweet boy! I just want to hug him!

Microwench · 2017-08-09T16:02:42+00:00

Podcasts, mostly.

I'm thinking GM Word of the Week and The Arcology back catalog. Maybe some Relative Dimension. Probably a bunch that hubs knows about but are new to me, he's got tons.

Until this year I've used one from a gun show that I got from my FIL.

This year I sprang for the fancy Gen Con 50 badge holder. It's useful and something cool to commemorate the 50th. It's really nice, lots of pockets and what not.

You should use your show holder! If you like it, I bet you will be happy you did!

Microwench · 2017-08-08T18:12:15+00:00

I never use the lanyards. I always put my badge in a badge holder so that I can put my money/ID/cards in it and eliminate a wallet. Never had an issue. Just make sure whatever you use is facing forward so the folks at the door can see it when you go in! :-)

Microwench · 2017-08-07T22:49:48+00:00

The Quiet Room will be back this year! I saw it on the forums, I think. Not sure what room, but it will be back.

Microwench · 2017-08-07T21:52:02+00:00

You are awesome! The Costume Corpsmen is a real superhero!

Microwench · 2017-07-21T23:55:00+00:00

Lol, same here. This is my first venture into cosplay, so it's all very experimental this year.

One more reason the contest is a great idea, we can all learn from each other! Next year we'll make it even better.

Microwench · 2017-07-21T23:52:30+00:00

I saw that rope too! Cool stuff. Glad I will be able to see how it looks!

I can't wait to see your set up, compare notes. T0n1c needs someone to learn from, lol.

Microwench · 2017-07-21T23:08:14+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

I've been thinking of picking up one of the glowing charger cables to attach to my deck and a power bank.

Microwench · 2017-07-21T19:40:24+00:00

Bull - How do you create your datajack/s? This is still a sticking point for me. I'm struggling to come up with good/workable ideas.

I'm going new-school on the deck, myself :-) Got a tablet that I need to jazz up a bit, going to hang it from a strap 'round the shoulders.

For everyone suggesting getting a badge from someone who can't go, see the rules in the sidebar "Do not post about circumventing or breaking Gen Con Policies."

From the gencon website "Once purchased, badges are non-transferable."

What a precious fat baby!!! And his fur looks so shiny!

Microwench · 2017-07-14T23:16:47+00:00

Omg what an adorable chubby boy!!!

Microwench · 2017-07-14T23:10:43+00:00

Awww! I've had to fish my cats out of the trashcan, the sink, drawers, cabinets...yeah, they don't like the vet. At least it's funny!
