Thanks, again!
Have you looked into other games, like Paranoia, Traveller, and "Big Eyes, Small Mouth"?
I wonder how the OP is doing. |

| My mother was born on Mother's Day in 1934. She would have been 90 years old, had she not smoked for most of her life. She did the best that any mother could do with 6 kids and a bipolar/alcoholic husband. I miss her laughter. I miss her wisdom. I miss her strength of character. I miss her. :he... |

| This Thread and This Other Thread seem to be covering some of the same ground, maybe because they were started by the same member. Maybe they could be merged. At the very least, maybe both should be in a Members Only sub-forum. Just suggesting; since they may also be perfectly fine just as the... |

| Of course Lithium exists in tap water. So does just about every other naturally-occurring element. This is nothing new or news-worthy -- more of a click-bait scare tactic used by commercial pay-to-view websites like Science Direct. |

| There is this warning on a Superman costume. It's been there at least since the mid-1960s. According to some "Old Wives' Tales" I heard as a kid, at least one person injured themselves by trying to fly off a garage roof while wearing a Superman Hallowe'en costume. Read the Washington Pos... |

| A person can be a survivor and still have lasting damage to their lives, especially if their kids have been hurt or they have lasting physical and psychological injuries. 100% agree. I did not mean to imply otherwise. The phrase "I am a survivor, not a victim" is what I recite to myself ... |

| It is not "Tone Policing" to ask someone to lower their voice and speak in more pleasant tones. Some of my former co-workers did not seem to understand the concept of an "Indoor Voice". And it was not just me asking them to moderate their voices. People in other offices and on... |

To paraphrase Friedrich Nietzsche: "That which does not destroy me has made a grave tactical error."
I am a survivor, not a victim. |

| If someone is suspicious enough to demand a promise from me, OR so insecure as to issue promises to me, then (in my opinion) that person is not someone with whom I wish to do business. The only exception to this involves the wedding vows between my wife and I. |
