So I’ve been trying to get the WordPress app to work with ericiverson.net for the last week or so. Finally figured out what was holding things up, so yeah… It’s fixed now. Doesn’t mean I’ll be posting anymore often, but you never know.

So after starting the third comic I realized that doing this story in 3 comics isn’t gonna work. So you get one more week of this.

A World Without Posting

Haven’t been posting much. Need to get better at that. Way too much to do lately. Want to do a site redesign, I’ve begun it but I have a ways to go. Working on the next comic. Trying to finish it as quick as possible. Also wanting to work on a character sheet redesign for Ema’s D&D character sheet so we can use it with the Pathfinder rules system. All this on top of the usual tedium of work.

This mentality has lead to some interesting situations, and some very bad possibilities.

Simon tends to play D&D like a casual gamer plays a 1st person shooter.

As periodically happens I get the desire to update EricIverson.Net in both design and scheme. As such, at least for the time being I’m setting the layout to a default.

When Hana first saw her sister playing D&D with us there was such a look of betrayal in her eyes. But she quickly moved through the stages of grief and was soon back to her usual self.

Diabolical Diseasing

A couple months ago I came down with the swine flu, shortly after I came down with it Michele did and then later on so did the kids. Michele wasn’t able to make it to the Black Drop for about a month. One of the barista’s asked me if it was a part of my evil plot to drink up all the money on our card.

1893
Juicy Fruit gum was introduced. The oldest brand in the Wrigley family, Juicy Fruit was launched just a few months ahead of Wrigley’s Spearmint®.

1944
During World War II, company president Philip Wrigley led an unusual move to support U.S. troops and protect the reputation of the company’s brands. Because of wartime rationing, Wrigley could not make enough top-quality gum for everyone. So rather than compromise the high quality that people expected, the company took Wrigley’s Spearmint, Doublemint® and Juicy Fruit off the civilian market and dedicated the entire output of these brands to the U.S. Armed Forces. Juicy Fruit was reintroduced in 1946, and quickly regained, then exceeded, its pre-war popularity.

1974
Juicy Fruit helped to launch the use of UPC codes as the first product to be scanned with a laser scanner. The milestone took place at a Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio, where a 10-pack of Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit was run through a hand-made laser scanner.

2006
Wrigley announced a partnership with Chip Ganassi Racing with Feliz Sabaates. NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya currently drives the No. 42 Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit Dodge.

2007
Wrigley’s brands, including Juicy Fruit, became the official chewing gums of the National Basketball Association.

2008
Launch of Slim Pack.

2009
Launch of Slim Pack 3 Pack.
