Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'

We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

I've had enough of this place. I'm leaving!

I'll walk up the road to my sister's house.


Someday will find you.

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

Hm. I'd wanted to go to bed early, but got sucked into the search for white currant tomatoes. It appears the only places I could order seeds from are US sites, one would even ship to Austria, but it would be wickedly expensive. *mumblegrumble*

*is on leave*

Whooo!

Finally had more than five hours of sleep as well! Huzzah!

Now I've just got to do some washing, clean my room and get the hell out of here!

Maybe ask cyan to buy them and bring them to Castlefest?

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

That's what I was planning to do if I can't get them any other way - going to ask people at this gardening forum first, there are a lot of tomato "collectors" there.

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

*drops into mint*

Gah... went to bed way too late yesterday. Her Catness seems to be not completely herself. Been online on a cat-forum for hours and of course got way more worried because of all the scary things they describe.... I'm not happy now.... need a hug....

Kitty-cat doesn't seem to be unhappy, she eats and plays and does her business on the kitty litter, but she seems to have a pain in/on her butt.... And now I can't wait for Monday to come so I can take her to the vet....

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

*tries to distract Libra a bit*

Today I finally made myself a belt frog (frog belt?) for my wooden foil. It's not pretty, but it is functional. :) (And barely visible when worn with the costume.) I actually still need something of a scabbard as I can't easily draw the foil (due to the large wooden knob at then end).

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

Unfortunately I have to leave my computer again. I need to scrub the floor once more. We put a new layer of wax on it, and the two hours to wait before you can rub it in are over now.

If I don't chat with you anymore, see you in two weeks. *goes off to buy a ticket before she scrubs the floor*

Have fun scrubbing....

I you tell me the size of the scabbard you want, then I might be able to get one from the little shop in Tilburg. I'm going there anyway... they're around 22 euro....

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

Regular scabbards won't fit. :) Did we already decide what costumes to wear?

Yay to kitty poo (in the right places)!

Shall we wear the corsets?

Done some laundry, vacuumed, made another great big mess with some propagating and re-potting... and now I'm supposed to go out and practise driving. *sigh*

Re: QM - Let's Go Hunting!

First time driving on the street since last autumn - went astonishingly well. I'm feeling still all wobbly.

Anyway, time to water and feed some plants.
