That Alaskan invasion was awesome. It’s till funny to me- I didn’t see it for like 6 moves. And when I did, I was like <“What the heck?!?”

I figure we’ll never do OOB again after this series of 6 games, so why not have some wonky fun every once in a while. Also, my intensity level for this game has gone down a notch; which is probably a good thing- my life does need to be lived every once on a while.

Stough

BTW- I finished the Italians.

mainah

Not sure about never doing OOB - I have an OOB league game going on. I do like to mix up the rule set a bit - keeps the noggin working.
Intensity on a game like this can be good, but I don’t think I’ll get it too much. Life is too busy. I often find myself pushing just to get a move in - not worrying about the full consequences. Like that Alaskan invaison. You said you have a kid on the way - you wait. Despite what you hear, the first year or 2 is actually easier in a lot ways. Once they are self-propelled - look out.

mainah

Then post.

I am surprised you went for retaking Gib. Can’t wait to see G so I can figure out if I am toast, or if it turns up to be a pyrrhic victory for you.

Stough

LOL. Don’t scare me; hahahaha. I’m already freaked out about having a kid.

Stough

Oh, I think you can ping pong me all day long in the Med. I can’t defend it forever. If I go to heavy to keep it, hello Russians. … and they are already ginormous.

I once woke up with my children laughing like crazy while 1 of the 12 chicken chicks they carried into my room and let loose was pooping on my head.
A lock went on the chicken coop in less than 3 hours.

Stough

Hahahaha. That’s awesome. I’m utterly freaked out about the cost of one mongrel child, much less a heavy of them- but I have the feeling my Lady will ant more. It’s a serious bummer that the soonest I will be able to see him (it’s a boy btw) will be in August. The baby is due n late May.

We’ll make it legal when I get to Thailand and then I’ll work on getting her and the bundle joy here to China in the Fall on a spousal Visa.

Stough

After that, my life will be truly ruined. LOL. Old life- gone. New life- we’ll see. I keep telling her we should look into selling it. I mean, we can make more right? It just seems negligent to not at least look into the market and see what he will fetch. :)

mainah

Prototypes always cost more. Production run get cheaper per unit, especially by the 4th.
And its an investment. They can do the hard chores as you both age. And take care of you when you are old. Probably more profitable in long run to keep 3 at home.

Unless you live in a city. Then maybe the ROI isn’t that good, and checking out current market rate might have its advantages.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
