It is the most amazing love that anyone could ever speak of.
So the big surprise is that our new baby is BOY! It was a total surprise, and a welcome one.

Thanks for all the congrats from everyone, I love this site, and all you guys are awesome.

~ Griff, getting his kindness out of his system early this month

Also, the Black Mask leak is funny to me. It reminds me of a fuzzy picture of certain figures behind a glass case at Gencon.


Oh, I am still here at the Hospital, and they have a private computer room set up for me, for "business".

Congratulations. I know how hard it can be to see the one you love go through all of that.


You might want to watch the Warrior Princess stuff though. I still get grief over one miss spoken comment Asking if anyone had seen Deena the warrior princess last night. My love turned beet red as all my friends asked her where she got her armor.

Jonathan Dorian? He has a career in medicine, or maybe in acting. lol

Glad to hear that the pregnancy was fine and your baby is healthy.

Just make sure you check over your bill with a fine-toothed comb. Ours from the last trip to the ER contained charges for medications we had specifically declined.

Congratulations to Griffin and his Warrior Princess !!

Good call. I am the kinda guy who reads everything.... everything. I got stared down and huffed at because a very "busy" nurse was frustrated that I wouldn't just sign a 6 page packet Release of Rights form. I asked her "are you crazy?" "This is a form that is giving my rights, my wife's rights, and my child's rights up and over to this hospital, what kinda of stupid, ignorant, neglectful father do you think I am?" "I will read the forms, and take my time thank you very much."

Oh how nice the people in the medical profession are... Though they are not all bad of course. We have a few nurses and doctors here that we love very much.

Holy Grap (that is what you call griffin droppings). Have I been absent that long? Way to go Griff, congrats on being the man. I'm very happy for the whole Griffin flock.

Believe me when I tell you, nurses have one of the toughest jobs around and have to deal with a ton of crap from a ton of people and have huge responsibilities compared to most professions by a ton. I've learned a great deal about the inner workings of a hospital since I've been working at one for the past two years. Heck I just learned yesterday that one of the OB/GYN doctors I've seen around (an older guy) is going to stop delivering babies and just do the other part of the job as his insurance will be cut in half. Right now he's paying $90,000/year for insurance. So yeah, I'd stop delivering babies if I could save $45,000/year. In fact, I've heard that there are fewer doctors getting into that field of delivering babies because it cost too much. Lots of expenses being a doctor and lots of expenses running a hospital. In fact, I also just learned that the hospital I work at only gets like 14% reimbursed for medicaid patients and have to right off the rest. In some other situations they only get reimbursed for like 3 days stay and after that, they lose money. Crazy stuff, the hospital business.

It is crazy. And the more the Government gets involved with it, the worse it is going to get... for everyone ..... except the Insurance companies.
