redambrosia Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 So, Sephy swallowed a dime. She choked on it first, but then managed to swallow it. When we took her to the ER the X-ray showed that it was stuck in her esophagus. And of course, my small town hospital doesn’t have a doctor qualified to remove the dime. So now we’re in Billings. They also don’t currently have a doctor who is qualified to remove it, but there will be one here tomorrow. Here’s to hoping she learns her lesson and stops putting stuff in her mouth. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Universe needs to give you a break from all this stuff. Wouldn't the dime come out the natural way without damage? Is it really necessary to remove it? Hope Sephy will be alright! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t ask me how I know. But the small intestines of a human are about the same diameter as the large joint of the thumb. No bigger than that, at least. Sephy’s little girl hands, and the joint diameters thereof, are pretty small. But an American Dime is almost 18mm in diameter. It would get stuck at some point. 2 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: Hope Sephy will be alright! Me too. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixies, a child Robin Hood character & a character the players have met when they were kids themselves (when we ran the Adventure League Zero-Session adventure). They will also meet up with a old friend, only problem with this, there is just 1 person still playing from that encounter, so a bit bittersweet when it happens. Also the non-book adventures I found on DM's Guild have been fun stuff as well. A D&D look on Capt'n Hook & of course the spider storyteller with the glasses. I may change my mind about using @TaleSpinner's spider in leu of using the huge based spider Reaper released in Bones 4? or so. I still need to the hag's area, but I can hold off on that one for now. Thanks for sharing, I'm currently running this campaign too, with a few of the DM's guild extras and a few extras from the reddit homebrew. Ran inside slanty tower, the crew had one bad persuasion roll when they asked about taking sir talavar with them and then decided to not press the matter, BUT as they left the tower they made a beeline for Telemy hill, so we're in the middle of Nightmare on Telemy Hill now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted August 22, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 22, 2022 It's raining! Finally, after something like 2 straight months of 100+ degrees every day and not a cloud in sight, it's raining. The past couple of days, today, and the next couple of days have been/will be cooler as well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristof65 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good Morning! Oh glorious Monday, what headaches will you allow to befall on me today? Logged in to find 4 service tickets. Two from the weekend service tech as follow ups to calls he took over the weekend. Two from the dispatcher for voice messages received this morning from the people looking to do those follow ups. So half my tickets were immediately finished when I tagged them as "Duplicate". The potentially more difficult of the two tickets turned out to be easy - the problem wasn't solved by the weekend tech because he couldn't get the site guy to identify certain wires. The distributor tech I worked with identified them in 2 minutes, total call took 12 minutes. Other call I got their Voice Mail. Sucks for them, good for me. Our new siding was finally delivered, and we managed to finish the deck staining/sealing over the weekend, so it looks like our home improvement project may finally be in its final stages. Glad to hear that the Dallas area is starting to cool down - looking forward to R-Con, but not hot(ter) weather. @redambrosia - sorry to hear about your brother and Sephy. May everything go as well as it possibly can for both of them. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 <ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!> Customer calls with a problem on equipment I'm not that familiar with because it's a Canadian model we don't have in the US yet. I log into the system, go through a bunch of things that I know can go wrong with it, but don't find anything obvious. Tell the customer I'm going to have to consult with a Canadian tech, but in the meantime I advise him to reboot it. He tells me his people have done that, but that didn't solve it. Ask the other techs for ideas, and I get a list of things that I should have started with, but didn't. Call the customer back, and find that he's just opened up the unit to reboot it, and found it was out of paper (one of the things I should have had him check). So the customer's weekend personnel did not reboot it like they told him, because otherwise they would have noticed it was out of paper. The customer didn't check the basics himself before calling me, and the worst part is that I was so focused on it being more complex things I haven't learned yet that I didn't have him check the basics before I "called" for help, too! This is why techs usually start with the stupid things like "Is it plugged in" and "did you reboot it" when you call for help. Or at least they should. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
