Oh, by the way, I posted my autobiography in the W.W. forum... Just in case anyone's interested.

Indeed, TB!

So the man your mother is divorcing from is not your father? *is a bit confused*
Sounds like your mum is a tough one though. (but in a good sense)

Ugh, I feel sick and my stomach hurts. I'm starting to wonder if maybe that salad wasn't good anymore...

LOL. No. My stepfather. She never married my father.
Took her long enough to divorce him; five years too long. Funny, I had been thinking that all along.

Oh, I should probably tell you all...
My mom is getting a divorce (finally) and moving to Arizona! Yay!

It will be interesting to see how she does out there; I'm glad to have the genes of such a resiliant person: she'll be a blind diabetic living completely on her own in the desert. So far so good.
She wants to make a living by publishing her books and re-opening her mosaic business.

So what government system do you recommend then?

Congrats to mom! Sounds like she can handle herself, so I'm sure she do swimmingly!

Coffeehouse · 09-14-2008, 06:32 PM

I noticed you were thinking of joining Long Lost Leaves Varnafinde. Would be cool if you did.

Det minner faktisk litt om the Fellowship fra Ringenes Herre nå hehe

selv om vi er i overvekt av alver for øyeblikket! Men Earniel har lagd en veldig gjennomført bakteppe til historien og det er godt med bra karakterskildringer. Og så er vi tidligere enn seine i historieforløpet så det er enda godt med tid å delta!

I find it very nice that I hardly have to advertise my own RPG since people are happily doing it for me.

Most mean I'm doing something right at least.

Thank you. Thank you for realizing that capitalism is a government system. Or rather, a component of a political system.
I recommend cooperative eco-capitalism; totally free-market EXCEPT:
1. All businesses must be democratic in nature (i.e. cooperatives).
2. People are entitled to a meaningful percentage of their work.
3. All businesses must agree on a common system of compensation (a kind of equivalent to minimum wage).

I won't decide whether I want to ask your permission to join it until I've finished reading it, though. All of Part One, even. It may take some time

I have been following it - bits and pieces of it - for the last few months. About since Quickleaf fell through something in Dol Guldur and lost his eyesight (temporarily, it seems).

***Earniel*** · 09-15-2008, 04:16 AM

Oooh, even better, we like it when people take the time to read our writing. Even though we have written frightfully much by now.

Coffeehouse · 09-15-2008, 06:10 AM

Yep, we do we do

*Wonders if we have any regular readers that aren't registered*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-15-2008, 10:53 AM

Good morning. I'm back.

Election season is exhausting.

***Earniel*** · 09-15-2008, 10:57 AM

*waves* Hey, sis. Want some relaxing tea and some chocolate?

sisterandcousinandaunt · 09-15-2008, 11:00 AM

Thank you, but I'll need black tea with too much sugar for the day I have ahead.

If I relax, I'll sleep. I hate long drives.

**Mari** · 09-15-2008, 12:32 PM

Sis, you're still alive! Yaaaaay! If you have time again, we shall celebrate your return. *looks incredibly happy*
I miss you

He sure did. Efficiency.
