We closed on the house!

 

...and the sellers need to rent back 15-30 days.

 

I don't feel any different.

Congratulations!

At one fell swoop you have become both a homeowner, and, at least for a short time, a landlord.

May you have a swift and stress free move.

Wait until that first check goes out. Then it may feel different. It’ll evolve later into wonderment when the rents around town far exceed that monthly payment. Then when that last bit of money leaves and the burden is lifted, it’ll feel very weird. I still haven’t gotten used to not writing that check at the first of the month. 
 

At least I assume you were renting prior to now. That seems to be my impression of a lot of forumites.

We've been staying with my parents for the last year.  It's time to move out while we all still love each other.

But "great" in the context of "dragon" is an attribute of origin and does not have to denote size.

Although the size of a "great dragon" is usually impressively large, most of us have run into gaming situations where a magical great dragon appears as a size other than the customary one. ::P:

Agreed. "Great" is probably the worst example word they could have used. @kitchen_wolf just shared a picture of great black cats, but black great cats would probably be panthers.

Well, it's 730 here so unless my wife & daughter got a late start today, I highly doubt they are coming home tonight. Which, tbh, I don't mind. :rock: My wife doesn't do trips all that much, I mean here I am going to RCon, or lately LVO & she says home. On her vacation weeks, she stays home. So hey, she can take all the time she wants!! Granted daughter goes back to work on Sunday, so they have to be home tomorrow.

 

Told my Saturday players that the game is on for tomorrow, so we'll be playing for a few hours. Dinner has been fixed for my son & I (Taco Friday!!!) & here in about half an hour, Portland Winterhawks/WHL hockey start anew!!!

 

Go 'hawks!!

Those little ones are utterly adorable. It must be a void cat trait to be so stealthy, this is how Kurogane lies in wait for ankles, other cats and the occasional spider.

Also, a massive thank you for all the blue sky photos everyone. We got up early today and actually had a little bit of tolerable weather!

Super windy though, but that just means more chance of some rare birds turning up in the area. The dark lines in the water is part of the 200+ group of Tufted Ducks which are going through their eclipse moult right now. They're banding together for safety as they can't fly at the moment.

So a nice little walk, even if I was a bit wobbly. We got back just in time before the heavy rain started again and it looks set to be dull and drookit for the next wee while. Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Saturday, let's start the trivia for October 2nd:

  • 1852 – William Ramsay, Scottish chemist, academic, and Nobel Prize laureate for discovering the noble gases (thus adding to the periodic table), was born.

  • 1869 – Mahatma Gandhi, Indian freedom fighter, activist and philosopher, was born.

  • 1870 – By plebiscite (i.e. vote by all eligible voters), the citizens of the Papal States accepted annexation by the Kingdom of Italy.

Does anyone know if Reaper is doing the Ghoulie Bags this year? I haven't seen anything in the store about them.

 

They're up on the UK site, so I'm guessing that the US site has them too. I ordered one this morning because they ran out pretty quickly last year. 

 

Unfortunately none of the new Halloween stuff was up on the UK site so I'll have to do without ::(:
