Tonight.
My 5 year old wants to sleep in his 8 year old sisters room.
The answer is no.
Much discussion was had.
The answer is still no.
Finally…
Him: “But Daaaaaaad, so WHAT if it’s a school night? What does it MATTER if it’s a school night?!”
Me: “Max. If you sleep in here on a school night, you guys will giggle and Maggie won’t sleep. If she doesn’t sleep, she’ll be tired at school tomorrow. If she’s tired at school, she won’t pay attention. If she doesn’t pay attention, she won’t learn. If she doesn’t learn, she’ll be dumb, and when she grows up she won’t be able to get a good job and meet nice people. So, if you sleep in here tonight, Maggie will end up dumb and friendless.”
He just sighed and went back to his room.

You forgot to add: “If she is dumb she won’t get a job and won’t be able to buy you christmas gifts and birthday gifts.”
That always worked with Dave’s sisters kids. Well, the part about not getting “Gifts” anyways.
See, we save that for around the holidays and special events. Normal everyday stuff is like “Well, I could buy you that toy, but then I would only be able to buy a little bit of gas for my car. Just enough to get me to work, but not home. So I’d have to live at work for the next 4 days and not see you. Wouldn’t that be sad?”
Well, okay, I’ve never said that. But it would be funny!
Your kids are so cute together – what kind of brother actually WANTS to sleep in his sister’s room?
Anyway – (As you’ll see in my post) I think I forgot to give you the necessary information about that letter. So, if you’re still up for it (and it would be very, VERY useful) – here’s the information.
Wayne State University
4841 Cass Avenue, Suite 3225
Detroit, MI 48202
Attn: Stage Management Program
Anything you want to write about would be useful – your name was actually mentioned in the interview and Dana holds a high respect for you…so I don’t think it matters so much what you say as long as it’s positive. =)
Been getting the emails about Williamston – I’m so excited that everything is going so well! (Better than anyone could imagine, I suspect)
Of course I’ll do a letter. Email me the details to my Williamston Theatre address. (Like who your interview was with, etc…)
LOL!!!! So much responsibility for such a little person!
This silly game is driving me crazy!!! Have you figured out:
– How to build a car?? I have allll these parts & some of them I have combined, but I can’t seem to find the magic combination.
– Where to get “Mr. Accessory?” I don’t know why I need to know really, except that Mr. Store seems so mysterious– what’s up with that??
– What “outfit” is un-bland enough to interest the Pretentious Artist? I have so much STUFF– I’ve tried wearing it all but nothing…
– How to trick the Goblin King into letting me in his chamber long enough to fight him… or whatever…
Aren’t there any explanations anywhere?! *Whine* *Whine* *Stomp* *Stomp!*
Whoops. That was me again– See how frustrated I am!? I can’t even remember to sign in! 🙂 🙂

*laugh* Yep, it’s very frustrating! What’s your character name, I can give you some of the stuff I’ve acquired!
The Goblin king: By adventuring in that area (Cobbs Knob,I think?), you need to get the harem veil, harem pants and harem perfume, activate them all (equip) and then go in. (it’s the harem girl disguise!) He’s tough, though, make sure you’ve got a bunch of muscle and magic!
I’ve “cheated” several times, and asked for help on the in-game chat thing, and most folks are very helpful. I’ve gotten several big gifts of stuff!
Okay, here’s the recipe to get the Bitchin Meat Car –
Sprocket Assembly = Spring + Sprocket
Cog and Sprocket Assembly = Cog + Sprocket Assembly
Full Meat Tank = Empty Meat Tank + Meat Stack
Meat Engine = Full Meat Tank + Cog and Sprocket Assembly
Dope Wheels = Sweet Rims + Tires (you have to get the rims from the hermit!)
Bitchin Meat Car = Dope Wheels + Meat Engine
(if I remember, most of this stuff can be found at Degrassi Knoll. Just adventure until you’ve gotten it all.)
It’s a weird game. Very funny, though. There’s SO much junk to combine, find, and do that I’ll never have time to do it all. Still, it’s a fun way to spend a few minutes every couple of days! I actually just moved up another level a couple of days ago, yay me!
Re: Kingdom Of Loathing
Ahhhhh… thank you!!! I’ve got my Bitchin Meat Car! I was just three steps away. I had the Cog & Sprocket Assembly and I had actually purchased rims from someone’s store because I could never get them (The hermit where?). So I had the Dope Wheels. But I’d never gotten started on the engine.
Now– what do I *DO* with the car? 🙂 It just sits in my quest items looking all bitchin’?
I tried just the harem veil + perfume… didn’t know about the pants. I’ll have to try again tomorrow!
My name in the game is Purrfect. It’s an old mud name of mine :). How do you see other people in the game? I’ve gotten invitations to join clans but could never see how I had been “seen.” If that makes any sense.
Re: Kingdom Of Loathing
I think now that you have the car you can get to other places in the game, like the Shore, where other adventures await!
I’m pretty sure you’re ‘seen’ if you go in the chat, or by people looking up folks on the ‘message’ tab.
I usually ask questions in the chat room, and get a lot of help and sometimes gifts that way! 🙂
