Wow Starbucks ice cream! I'm glad that they don't do that over here yet. I'm having trouble resisting all the good things in Starbucks as it is. If they started doing ice cream too I think I would have to move! 

I think most of our home teams are eliminated at this point.   

Well, England are still in it...   Not sure after tomorrow though... 

Well, so far this year I have spent a week in Montana (mostly Helena) and a week in Seattle. 

[very cool club]

I think the Charmers club is a very cool club, it is good for newbies and old players alike.

Top marks to Gem for a great club.  
And I personally think it is perfectly ok for wizzards to have wishes, otherwise it gets very boring ... don't you think? 

And Russ's I also liked very much, small area yet as well but with a fabulous entrance, an entertaining puzzle, a library and some devices one may find useful...not for killing but for taming  

Thanks for the nice words Hewe    I'm glad you liked it.

As I'm sure you are aware, you can only open up quite a small area to start with...  I have lots more ideas, but it is getting the time to code them at the moment... a lot has been happening in RL for me recently...  

Yes, I suspect it will be down for a bit...
*sigh*

Yes... it went down while I was online
Still not up now... been down for a couple of hours now...
but, the website seems to be working...  you can even see who was online when it crashed as if they are still there...

Latest update for those still interested...  

Height: 1.83m (6 foot exactly)
Weight: 84kgs (13stone 4lbs)

So, only 4 lbs to go now. I want to get to 13 stone, as I think that will be a good weight for me personally.

Hmm... thought I should post an update, seeing as I haven't posted for a while....
I've stayed pretty constant, although I did gain a bit over christmas.
But I have lost it again since...
I have been losing inches though, in fact I am going to need a smaller belt soon... *giggle*  I think it is because I am bulking up on muscle as much as I am losing weight...

Height: 1.83m (6 foot exactly)
Weight: 86kgs (13stone 7lbs)

[another]

I think that all of the things listed are important to differing degrees. As others have already said so I won't repeat what others have said already.
I voted for another though because I personally think that the most important thing is to enjoy what you do. I can't think of anything worse than doing something you hate doing, no matter what you get paid. Of course if you get paid loads of money, you could do it for a short amount of time and then retire...  
If I had to choose one of the options listed, it would have to be the healthy work environment option...

Well, my personal opinion is that I don't believe in a God, or at least not in the traditional sense. I certainly don't think that some supreme being created the universe all for our benefit. I think that is just too big headed of us to think that!    
Religion is a bit of a double edged sword though, in one case it is good because it gives people something in their times of need, etc.  But it is also the cause for 99% of the worlds conflict too. (or certainly used as an excuse for other reasons).

As for fate... I'm not sure... I think there is fate in some sense, purely because you are who you are, and so if something happens, because of how you are, you are fated to take a certain action. (I hope that makes sense) I don't think that your whole life is predetermined from when you are born.

I hope I haven't offended anyone, I'm just saying what I believe...  

Well done, good that you drop the weight in a moderate speed too, will probably be easier to keep your weight later on. Thumbs up!

Thanks Carrion  
I am trying to lose only 1 or 2 pounds a week... it had remained pretty constant though until I upped my workout slightly... going for a 30 miles offroad mountain bike ride last night helped!  
I just wish that I didn't fall off so much!  

[Height]

Update as of this morning...  

Height: still the same...  Might have to buy a rack to change this!  
Weight: 87kgs (13stone 10lbs) (still dropping.... but not as fast...)

Yes, it is definately true... I think most people don't notice it if they advance all their stats equally every time...  
I think it is true of most LPMUDs... although don't quote me on that one!  

I'm not sure of the official reason, but I always assumed it was because some people think that the number 13 is unlucky... *shrug*
