We're assuming electricity in post-apocalytiverse?

We'd have batteries for a while, but I suggest we ration them for other uses besides, um, blowdriers

besides, we wouldn't need blowdriers what with all the repopulating the earth we'd be up to.

I'm a good camper and cook well over a fire (which is no joke I'll tell you), but I suspect I'd make my living cracking people up for bites of their squirrles.

In a post-apocalyptic world I'm getting laid AND I'm a working comedian. Sweet.

And it looks like the stage hand strike is over. Go Broadway!

How does that get played out?

bonny, I also had flashbacks as a major complication so Joe (GM) would put me in situations that would set off my leaky brain pan and put me immediately into a flashback and cause me to cause harm to those who prolly didn't deserve it. Like omnis_audis' monk character.

Oops.

I'm hoping the letter Windsparrow got was really incredibly wrong.

I'm hoping we win the lottery so I don't have to work there anymore. Oddly enough, I think my hope is the more realistic.

Andi and I will set up a wind farm and Bed and Breakfast, with a smithy for all the horse riders, and maybe a still.

Don't forget your printing press.

I am familiar with a couple different kinds of looms that are easy to set up for making rougher textiles (of the strap and rug varieties). I can do some sewing, and crochet. I can cook, and plan menus on short commons. I know first aid, a number of home remedies, and can wrangle adults and elders of, shall we say, diminished brain capacity. I have a copy of the U.S. Army Field Guide to Survival - so I can easily learn and share how to set snares for game, and can learn to identify wild edible plants, as well as primitive water purification systems and further adventures in field medicine.

WS, most insurance sets a maximum amount of out-of-pocket expenses. Have you checked what that is?

Haven't gotten the paperwork for the new plan. I'm pretty sure that the maximum out of pocket expenses limit will be greater than the plan's deductible, however.

WS, I'm so sorry.

Discovey Channel has a real flying Vampire bat toy that flaps it's wings for $20. See this [link] for a cute write-up and further savings on the purchase.

snerk. "like a real bat!"

cause me to cause harm to those who prolly didn't deserve it. Like omnis_audis' monk character.

Eek. Oooh. Flashbacks would be an interesting twist. My gambling problem brought up lots of twisty moral stuff I really enjoyed. It also fed into how the captain decided on jobs. Sometimes to save me from myself and sometimes to take advantage of my weakness as a distraction or predictable choice.

Joe's directives seem in keeping with your character's, er, characteristics.

The not!good GM took previously clever folk given to fits of ingenuity (and humor) to get out of situations without weapons (even though we had them) and said stuff like, 'you just turned around and killed that guy.' (for no reason!) Suddenly, the characters we built were strangers to us.

I'm watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas right now, AIFG!

Why do the holiday stamps suck? I mean, I don't have anything against cross stich, per se, but on a stamp?

I don't really have post-apocalyptic skills, per se, but I know useful things. Like: you can use a coffee grinder as a mill to make flour in a pinch, and you have to leach acorns before you eat them, and a fair amount of what flowers you can eat and what you can't. I should start learning to make cheese, then I'd have a skill.

I make an excellent rules-following grunt. I could probably spread the Word of Jilli pretty well.
