So this weekend I wasn't on a lot, I needed a break. But I did work on our spell lists (which, as we all know, have sucked a long time). Right now Assassin, Berserker, Brigand, Troubador, and Templar are as done as I can get them. If anyone notices anything missing puh-leeze screenshot the examine from your Knowledge Book and send it to me ('cause that examine has the icon and HO icon). 5 down, 19 to go!! Oh, I got our Far Seas Requisitions info all straightened out, too.

Kain has been knocking out Deity quests to go with all the awesome Deity data that Raven compiled; he's just about done (I think he has Brell left). No where could we find good writeups of *all* the Deity quests, when he gets done we can say we've got them all (and they're correct) with confidence.

Spyderbite's been on Test getting the low-down on the live event for the next GU. The starting info is on the :Category:Void Storms World Event page (there's no spoilers there, you can look, Stu!).

Raven's been doing housekeeping all over the place, I think she's working on Bloodline Chronicles atm.

Meanwhile, on the personal front, we are finally moving forward with help for Kiddo. The dietary changes really helped, but they're not the whole story, and tomorrow we start on a low dose of an ADHD medication. His doctor thinks we'll need a higher dose, but you always start low and work your way up to avoid a zombie kid. Turns out that up to this point we'd been doing about everything you can do for an ADHD kid shy of meds, which makes me feel a LOT better. Hopefully we will get him on track and he can be a happy kid in school

What's new in your world??

Edit for trivia: I asked the doctor if we could test for an Red 40 allergy; they thought it was in one particular test so we went for a blood draw. Turns out one of the Lab Techs there wanted the same info, and there is no Red 40 allergy test available anywhere (that they've found so far).

GL Calthine! My oldest son has ADHD and ODD and we had to put him on medication, low dosage to start off with. Give it about a week to see how it wells. Is he on Concerta? PM me if you wanna chat.

Let's see, this weekend our GL lost his power for a week due to Ike, so he drove all the way down to Alabama from OH (for vacation) and to raid ha! We finished clearing VP, hit Trak, SOH, Maestro, and then finished a slew of smaller raids for alts epic updates. Good plat farming. I helped the Mr finish up his fabled for his mythical last night, worked some more on heritage quests, and decided to get my poor fairy up to snuff on her gathering stuff. Im finally to T8.

otherwise we had a pirate party of Friday with a bunch of kids and moms dressed up as pirates, chilled this weekend, and I had Drs appointments today for chest pains I've been having all week. They did an Xray which came out clear, so they think its just inflamed lungs from a cold I had a few weeks ago wheee!

PM me where you're adventuring these days and I'll see what would be useful in the area. We can also use screenies of most City Task "New Quest" Windows.

Kiddo's on Vyvanse, or will be in the morning, lol. Thanks for the support! I'm actually doing MUCH MUCH better now that we have a official diagnosis (so the school district can get him some support/services) and now that I've been told we were really doing everything already possible shy of medication. (Nice to have the guilt off!) I was massively stressed for a while though; I lost 7 pounds in two week s(I think that's a silver lining....)

I've been down that road too and I can completely sympathize. I'm glad you have an official diagnosis so you can now focus on helping as opposed to still wondering what is going on and if you were like me, wondering if it was something you did. Fingers crossed for you !

harvesting harvesting harvesting. oh, did I mention harvesting. *shivers at the thought of more harvesting*. 3 characters down, and between 4 (if I just do my major crafters) and 9 (if I do all my toons) to get the statue and/or title (usually go for the title).

at least I'm earning status for my guild from this. we are now 21 and a good chunk of the way towards 22.

^ That.

I just finished my 20th quest, got the neat little dragon to put in my home. Yes I've been working on it since day one, but I have the attention span of a...

I managed to fool the guild leaders into promoting me to Jr. Officer...actually they liked the application I filled out over the other 8 people that applied, and now I'm in the two week phase (must be at a rank for 2 weeks before they make it official, which I totally understand). Of course, I'm the only Jr. Officer they decided to put on the guild recruiters tab...so I guess that means they kind of like me.

R/L: I've been toying with the idea of 'do it yourself' dental work. I'm seriously ready to pull 3 of my teeth with a pliars followed by some straight gin, vodka, anything. I have a dentist appointment next Monday, so I just need to tough it out a few more days, hopefully he can do something right away to help me.
