Also, hi. Your birthday is on Friday. Did you know that?

Petition for Bingo & Taco night to be a thing weekly. I am great at Bingo, I'm already looking forward to my future days in a nursing home.

Also, you guys should come to the Salazar Gala and bid on things for a good cause. Heard a rumor that one of the items up for auction is a romantic helicopter ride over the coast for two, with some champagne and the handsome pilot serenading you if you want.

So, I won tickets to the Nutcracker thing coming up.

Just as an update, we're still looking for volunteers to read to students at the elementary school! Look here for more information.

Unrelated to that, would there be any interest in a Secret Santa gift exchange among the community? I remember doing something similar with smaller groups before I moved, but given that Dunhaven is so small as if sign ups are kept to this network, I feel as though it wouldn't be too overwhelming an idea. It seems like a fun way to meet new people and maybe spread some good cheer.

Let me know if you're out there and would be at all interested! You can just say so below or send me a private message, whichever you would prefer. Though, since Christmas is rapidly approaching, I am going to cut off sign ups this way on December 8 and then let people know who they all have for gifts to be delivered by the 25th.

[Friends?]

Anyone willing to bid at the charity auction on my behalf? It's too late in the evening, I can't leave the kid. Call me a philanthropist in my old age.

[ooc | he needs friends, if we talked on the intro that he'd get along with someone via Preston or otherwise, feel free to assume? Help a brother out <3]

I am not good at social media. Never know what to put in or how to use it effectively. But I need to learn. The kid is going to grow into this and I should be ready. So here goes.

I'm Daniel. Just moved here and currently at the Cozy Cottage, though I'm signing papers for a rental on Monday. It's just the kid and I, and we'll be learning more about this place through the weekend, I hope. Is that enough? How do I send

I just got in a pretty massive shipment from an estate sale in Northern Virginia and I'm that weird person who's excited about spending the next few hours adding everything to inventory.

If you haven't been in lately, I have a pretty strong feeling that there are a lot of things in these boxes looking for homes in Dunhaven. 😏

Based on the conversation we had on here recently, I compiled a list of everyone who is Dreaming--both public and anonymously. Out of respect for your interests, I only included those who specifically commented to be included on the list. In addition to compiling the list, I have also put together a semi-brief document for those who have questions about these Dreams since we continue to have a lot of newcomers who are otherwise unprepared for when these Dreams hit...or are just super confused by at the talk of Dreams on this network.

The resource (which includes the list of Dreamers) can be found here.

I wanted to go ahead an open this post up, as well, for anyone who wants to add their User ID (public or anonymous) to this list, or potentially update their information on the list. I only included Sources that have been discussed publicly on this network, regardless of whether or not I was familiar with a Source existing here. So for anyone listed as Not Disclosed, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not you want that "spoiled" for you.

Which also raises another question which I would like to answer on the list. If you are on this list, do you want a) others to reach out to you and/or b) others to give you information about your Source if they know it? Please answer below, if you can or want to!

I think we all know by now, either first-hand or otherwise, that the dreams here in town can be [...] hard to deal with at times. The reasons for that, I'm sure, are just as numerous as there are residents of town. But- and not to sound overtly smarmy, here- one way or another, we get through it together.

In an effort to bolster that latter sentiment, some of the local veterans and I were discussing starting up a new support group. For those who didn't already know, there is an open and confidential support group for military veterans on the first Saturday of every month, out at Dunhaven Regional Airport. But given that this group is specifically for those of us who served in the military in our real lives, we [...] wanted to offer a way to branch out toward those who served in their dreams.

We're not asking anyone to out themselves, of course. And we're certainly not therapists or professionals. Rather, just [...] sympathetic and understanding ears. But if you're interested, please let me know, and we'll get something scheduled in December. (You can respond anonymously to this post, if you feel that you need to.) Anything shared at the meeting would remain strictly confidential. Having a safe space for those of us who are dreaming along such veins is the most important part.

WHO: Preston Salazar → Poe Dameron
WHEN: November 15, early evening.
WHERE: West Virginia & SPACE
SUMMARY: A pilot has a flashback just as he’s transporting his new friend cross-state.
WARNINGS: PG - nothing bad, just some mild panic.

Hey, so I've got some news. Now that I have talked to my parents and siblings about it, I figure it's a good time to let everyone else know.

Long story short, a girl came into town a week ago looking for me, because she thought I was her father. Her name is Nadia Travers, though she also goes by Jessie, and she's 20 and was raised in Las Vegas by her mother, who I knew very briefly during a vacation back, well, about twenty years ago. And, yeah, we've confirmed that she's definitely mine.

Just to head some questions off at the pass: I'm doing fine. I've mostly gotten past the shock and am just trying to move forward with the knowledge. She's also seeming to be doing all right. She is planning on staying in town, which I'm glad for as I have a lot of time to make up for. But since she'll be here, I'd love it if any of you who might be around her age would be willing to reach out to her and give her some friends and connections in town. She's only been here a week and it's been a pretty busy one, but I think it would do her well to have a solid support system.

[...] Anyway. There you have it.

NADIA

I heard you went shopping today.

Hello out there, Dunhaven!

For those that don't know me, I am Beth Phillips, one of the resident kindergarten teachers here at the elementary school. I am looking for volunteer reading mentors to come by and read to some of our students. It would be once a week for about an hour where you will read to a student between grades K-3 that you've been matched to. You might also just let them read to you, depending on where they are with their reading level.

If this is something you would be interested in, please let me know! We do have an application and you'll have to pass a background check, as well as attend a short training, but otherwise we're looking to start the program up in January when we come back to school after the holidays.
