It’s even decorated for Christmas! Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan…
So, my comments are gone. Haloscan was bought out, and, unfortunately, they want to charge for their comment system. So I exported 7,456 comments, over five years’ worth of comments. All the old posts have no comments now. I think this one will have comments–we’ll see. And all that crap under recent comments–no clue. Sigh.…
Many of my compatriots have noted how unsocial the groups are in the new dungeon system that automatically groups people together. I have noticed the same, and in fact, that’s why I’m still doing runs with guildies on a regular basis. The other thing about running with these anonymous groups is that they go so…
Normally, we create our own Christmas cards. I will often buy something that looks nice, sign them, and ship them off to friends and relatives. We’ve done a newsletter or two, usually after big changes in our lives, like getting new jobs or moving. This year I decided to go high tech (as I should,…
Many years ago, I did a poll here for the best and worst gifts you’ve ever received. The answers tickled me. So, what were the best and/or worst gifts you’ve ever received.

Seriously, after a parent-teacher conference, a trip to the department store, the card store, the grocery store and the hardware store, I need a drink. Too bad it’s only 3:45 and we still have a winter concert to attend and before that, dinner to make. I got 10% of the stuff I wanted to get…
And all through the house, every creature was stirring, especially the mouse. (Computer, that is). The stockings are hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that something would soon appear there.The children are restless, about to unwind,While visions of vacation days dance in their mind. And pa in his sweats, and I in my robe,Shopped…
We ventured to the giant mall yesterday to do the rest of our Christmas shopping. After eating lunch and walking around for about 20 minutes, we decided to go home and shop online. Things I hate about shopping at the mall: 1. It’s crowded.2. It’s giant and requires a lot of walking to get from…
Image via Wikipedia Last night Geeky Girl had a couple of girls over for a slumber party. I had gotten tons of snacks for them, including a request for sundae makings. There was popcorn and pretzels and hot cocoa. We’d downloaded Elf. Geeky Girl got out some key Wii games. When they arrived, we ordered…
