Strangely, it's only offered at certain brick-and-mortar stores called "maternity wards." I tell you, the marketing for this thing is crazy.

Yeah, there's no advertising at all, and yet it has a larger player-base than any other MMO, with an exponentially rising number of subscriptions.

I may end up starting a leather-working business.
As much as I'd like to start with the raw hides, that's probably not gonna happen.
It may be profitable.

Also, Happy Birthday.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine just got back from (Connecticut, New York, Vermont? Somewhere near there) to donate an egg to this gay couple.
She brought me back a kickass piece of bismuth.

And in case you can't tell, the shirt says "Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition !"

what is bismuth?

[sonerohi]

It is a metal. Found in shit like Tums because it is a base.

The Rosetta Stone box I got for Christmas finally works.  Finally.  I don't exactly know why.  I got around to the harddrive wipe I intended just a few weeks ago, and it turned out all I had to do was make a new profile to gt around the broken spyware that was fucking up my connectivity.  Then I had to hunt down Rosetta Stone's network specifications and finagle my way into my router (which should have taken about two minutes, but whatever).  Then I had to refresh the validation process eight times before the program truly believed I had a real Internet connection.  And so it's validated and works.

The headset is a piece of shit and can complete the voice-recognition process (maybe because of my "Barry White with a hangover" voice pattern), but at least I can get my dad's money's worth out of it.  Six weeks before my actual university Spansh class starts - Spanish Level 3, attempt number 3, packed into five weeks of class.  Then it's the dreaded Spanish 4 (Conversational Level) in the fall, which my ability to graduate depends on.  All those Rosetta Stone commercials had better not be lying to me.

what is bismuth?

Refined bismuthinite.  Combine it with two bars of copper and one of tin, and you get four bars of bronze that's more valuable than normal and a little prettier.  That bismuthinite is hard to find though.

Oh man! Let us know if the extra stuff is worth the price. I've been debating getting it or not for a while now.

Replayed the Forest Frontiers level in Roller Coaster Tycoon, previously had an end score (company value) of -$2,700 -odd; replay score: $11,900 -odd.

I must say, I definitely did something right the second time around; then again, the first time around was my first time playing in ages. Still, that's one hell of an improvement. BTW, the goal for that was to have 250 guests in the park by the end of the year with a park rating of 600; I got 1000-odd guests with over 850 park rating, and also was -$1,500 in my balance (total on hand, minus loans (which you start off having up to $10,000 in loans, recovering $1,000 at a time)).

I also got my sister a copy of the game on her computer. It should be a good warm up before micromanaging a fort.

ugh Roller Coaster Tycoon. Lost people spam is the first thing that comes to mind.

I always put one way signs at the entrance.
They come in but they can never go out...

Aye. A free, really fun ride at the entrance of the park is all that's available. The exit leads to the rest of the park, which is overpriced and has no way back to the park exit/entrance. If only those poor parkgoers were brave enough to cross the grass and reach freedom... alas.

Information Kiosks are usually helpful if placed at the right points. In one of the maps I've played lately, and a rather large and lengthy one while at it, not one lost soul. However, plenty of vandalism. So I drowned them. Of course, filtering the angry from over a thousand people is a bit time consuming.

Another tip is to have surplus forces all over the place. Assign a few to key points, or mostly vandalized and/or messy grounds, and keep them relatively short distances; and have a few freelancers in case the key-pointers are busy.

I think the highest expense-per month in furniture replacement has to be less than $100. Not bad at all.

I'm starting to get the hang of Flash, it's a really good time killer that's for sure.  But who am I saying I got Super Mario Galaxy 2 for my bday, that's going to take forever to 100%.

Don't worry, with time you can achieve levels of incompetence such as This. Unfortunately, it seems the rest of my works were destroyed when that last hard drive became unusable. But I can direct you to some good links for flash learning. After you learn the system it is surprisingly easy to use.

 Edit: Oh, right controls. wasd to move, space for shooting test and x for boost. I may have had a few others, but that is all I remember.

I have deciphered the great mystery known as the Elder Scrolls Construction Kit!
Without any sort of tutorial, which I'm sure would have made life much easier.
