How I know my kids are the children of scientists: they spent most of last week asking a billion questions instead of being afraid.

It seems like so many of the young people here have been through so much.

Does this place specifically bring in people like that? If you're under 20 or so, are you coming from a terrible place?

I found several new biscuit recipes and I can't decide which one to try first. Does anyone have a favorite biscuit?

Spending the evening in front of a fire with a good book....one of the best ways to spend a little spare time. And that is something that I never thought I would hear myself say.

Summer Plans

I just want to remind people (especially new arrivals) as they start thinking about summer plans: there is a huge lake about an hour's travel east of Madison. I mean huge, the size of one of the Great Lakes. Practically an inland sea, except that it's fresh water. I discovered it last September.

It also has a deep and wide white sand beach. No development yet, so if you're going to stay overnight or longer, you'll have to camp. But it's a lovely place to get away from the city.

Just spent twenty minutes ripping apart the programming for something I'm working on, only for the problem to end up completely obvious once I found it.

Oh, the joys of engineering.

I'm sad the winter festival is gone. I was enjoying all the junk food along with everything else that was happening.

Feb. 22nd, 2024


[info]iheartresearch

My girls are absolutely loving this winter festival.

I'm grateful they're still at the age where they enjoy spending time with me.

Today has been a day and it's still morning.

I hate it and I want to come home from school.

My daughters are finally at that age where their interests are really starting to differ and wow, I was not prepared for this.

I think I might try to make some mead in my spare time. Anyone know where I can find some cookbooks and recipe suggestions?

What the hell is in the water in this place right now?

Rosa's gone, too, and I've got two very upset little girls.

My daughters are now at the ages where they can put together a solid Christmas wish list without needing prompting or help.

Who told them they could keep getting older like that?

I have never celebrated Christmas. I hear gift giving is a big part of it.

How do I know what go get a person?

[info]pushedtolead

It would seem that Thanksgiving, along with any other holiday, will have to be spent with more than one person. Judith has those that she loves and cares about. Those she wants to spend time with on the holidays and I'm fine with that.

I also need to see what else is needed in this house considering how much two of the men eat.


[ Cisco ]

Are there any foods that you are allergic to? I plan to binge a little, especially for Judith's sake, for the holidays. Even if you don't celebrate with us I want to make sure you're fed properly.


[ Murphy ]

Judith would like to have a sleep over. I told her that I would talk to you about it.

Was at Walmart today grabbing a couple things for dinner and overheard two people arguing about their costumes. Apparently one of them had gone as the same thing for four years in a row.

And it made me start thinking. Those of you who dress up, what's your favorite costume you've ever worn?

Oct. 27th, 2023


[info]pushedtolead

I believe that this is the first time that I have actively, in all my years, ever gone out on Halloween. Judith, however, is excited for it and I would do anything for that little girl.

For anyone who is interested, the local fire stations are having 'Fire Truck or Treat' at all the stations this Saturday, from noon until 7pm. We'll also be giving tours of the stations, and handing out the annual smoke detectors and batteries for the smoke detectors.

And, as a reminder, after the incident that happened two years ago, it will be group tours only. No more private tours. The captain doesn't want to have to replace the bathrooms again.

Hallloween is typically my favorite holiday of the year..but I have to admit I'm not really feeling that festive this year. Trying to force myself into it isn't working, and I kinda feel like a bit of a fail boat just now. Suggestions to get into said holiday?

Sep. 26th, 2023


[info]iheartresearch

One of the best things I've ever seen was my daughters running around in the backyard and playing with the falling food.

It was also one of the messiest things I've ever seen.

...what is there to do at a fair?

( Thorin Oakenshield )

Will you come investigate with me?

I can't believe the summer's over so fast.

Regular school was so terrible. Everyone expects me to be able to read and it gets so tedious to explain to them that I'm doing the best I can, it's just that my brain isn't wired that.

You Roman demi-gods are so lucky with your Latin reading and writing.

At least they got me into some sort of class for dyslexic kids now. Hopefully it will help.

Interplanetary Affairs reached out to me to interview for an advisor position.

I'm not completely certain what that all includes, but I am going to go for it.

( TARDIS people )

...do you all think it will be good?

[info]iheartresearch

My girls have been asking questions almost non-stop since this whole change in environment happened.

They're the children of two scientists so trust me, that is a lot of questions.

A few days in and it feels more like home than our previous location.

[Garin]
It's almost like one of my dreams have come true. If anything I've found so far reads right, we are not too far behind my actual time. This is wonderful. It's still different but... it's closer. And I can't wait to explore it all with you.

I hate how much trouble the past events gave my didi but he's happy now. It kickstarted his relationship a bit.

Also, people seem to think it weird when they see a donkey being led down the roadway. I can't just keep Lil' Apple in the stables all the time. Besides, she likes being out and about with me too.

Just one more month and I'll actually make it to 18.

Instead of Lent, I'm going to just use a D20 to make all my decisions for a week. That's the same thing, right?

[info]reileenkawahara

These things are the literal bane of my existence.

[Garin]
Don't mind the fact I am not sleeping until they are all wiped out. I rather like being alive and I am not here to find out if they will go through flesh to get to tech.

I am also not leaving the lab because I have far too much research to protect, will you bring me some dinner?

Oh, look, time to play another game of "who's passing what around" because my oldest kid is sick.

Apologies to the parents of any and all kids she's been playing with up until I realized this -- if your kids get sick, it's likely her fault. Time to go cancel a couple play dates.

[info]werewolfinpink

I start school tomorrow! I'm super excited but also a little bit nervous because everyone says Normie school is so different. And it's definitely weird not to have to wear a uniform. But good! I can pick something with a little more color!

SOOO I went out shopping yesterday and got some school clothes. Which one should I wear tomorrow?

This one or this one?

I have cute matching pink shoes for each too. <3

Nine years ago, I ran the first speed dating event in advance of Valentine's Day and I think we're due for another round. Maybe not quite in time for you to find The One in time for the holiday, but close enough, right?


If you want to participate, sign up here and you'll get five rounds of five minute dates.

Happy Christmas Eve. I should be sleeping, I want to be sleeping, but nurses keep poking at me and stuff. And as someone who has been beaten up by aliens, a planet, and evil super nazis... Ow.

So, the announcement. 8:42pm last night, Not-Baz made her way into the world. Name suggestions anyone?

For anyone that would like a plate or a container of goodies please let me know. I will be doing some holiday baking and would like to spread some of that holiday joy to you all.

Attention Madison Valley geeks and non-geeks alike!

I am planning on setting up a one-shot DnD game sometime around the holidays. As Christmas gets closer.

The premise of this game is to figure out who killed Santa.

If anyone is interested not hesitate to let me know! New people and seasoned veterans are welcome. And everyone in between.

I always enjoy this time of the year when people start putting up their Christmas decorations. It was a pretty sight back home, and I can't wait to see what it's like around here.

Thankfully, my girls don't seem like they're seeing any ghosts. Though on the plus side, they've grown up here so it probably wouldn't be all that strange for them.

I think I am going crazy.

( RWBY people )

I can see Pyrrha's ghost.

( Loki and Frigga )

Help?

[info]diamonddaphne

This can't be happening....I am seeing the ghost of my father. I...I can't process this at all.
