I was called by a member of the 501st legion who (if you haven't heard) donate their time to make children's dreams come true by dressing up as Darth Vader and the storm troopers and visiting children's hospitals.

(touching story that chokes me up every time)
They told me that a 5 year old girl/star-wars fan who was in the children's hospital walked up to Darth Vader and just held his hand for a long time (which in and of itself is not that uncommon, but is still super cute). She got her picture taken and later that week was looking at pictures with her mother, and when they got to the picture of the little girl holding Vaders hand, the little girl pointed and said "I love him".   Super cute right?  But thats not the half of it because in fact the doctors had told her mother that the little girl would never be able to speak in her life and those were the first words she ever spoke.  ever.
(choking up again :) )

P.S.  I almost wrote that good thing for me is ... I found this thread.  It is AWESOME and there is not nearly enough of this on the web.

Just met '80s pop star Toyah at the vet. She has a rabbit!

May have made a scientific breakthrough!! But you can never really know with these things.. ;P

My brother is letting me have the set of DnD books I grew up with.

Made a little girl, who was messing with my kid, cry just by showing up.

Dropping back in after a lot of time away and catching up with some old friends. :)

Anyone want to recommend some good audio books to me?

Supernatural Season 9 marathon right now... and Season 10 starts tonight!

Got home a little while ago with the kids, hubby was off to work already.  Left us a note on the table "Love U All"  :)

Little things like that make me smile :)

Got my PFD check deposited last week.  Used it to buy my place a new sliding glass door for my deck.  One more insulated and nicer!  It is going to save me a lot on my energy bill.  Even better.... getting it installed this weekend!

My 3.5yo son just said "mummy" for the first time! Wife now has happy tears!

Tried to set up this epic real-life game, and all the players have jobs and can't play today. Seriously I had to looks this unfamiliar word up. Also I haven't been on rpol for a very long time. Anyone remember this guy? I hardly remember anyone, except for Big Bad Ron we had some awesome conversations; he called me Exhumed Robert onetime and I had no idea what he meant lol.
I am venting that so many people have more posts than me, so I look like some 6 monther or something. How embarrassing.

In reply to Undeadbob (msg # 533):

Don't be stressed out, Bob. Here's a good thing: the number of posts in Community Chat isn't a measure of how much you play or how much fun you have. :)

Plus I know a GM that write for groups like Talislant (sp?) and only have three or four hundred posts. Remember those are just forum post counts. They do not count in game posts. If they did it would be a higher count for many people.

Oh I am aware of that my friend, when I used this site 10 or so years ago I used to have allot of posts. And not that it really matters how many posts you have. I mean I've lost my RPGA card a long time ago, so Its funny I thought my number was important enough to put in my description. Its like waking up from a coma or something.
This site hasn't been around for 10 years has it? Maybe its only been like 5 who knows lol

Hi Undeadnoob.  :p

Actually RPoL was 14 years old this year.

13 or 14 I forget? I turned in my old account to the mods when I realised it was this site that I once used a LONG time ago in college.

Man 14 years, that was before all this facebook BS. I'm glad this site is still around, spreading joy and harry potter free form rpgs.

Nearly 1700 posts (at the time of this writing) is pretty darn respectable Undeadbob. It's already more than most of the people in this thread, if not the entire site ...
