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.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. 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.

Walking outside to get in my car this morning to see that the homeowner's association had put big red bows on everyone's mailboxes! :o)

Re: What Makes You Happy?

Waking up because I can't move my feet and realising it's because my fuzzballs have trapped me between them and are happily dozing on either side of me.

Makes me smile. It's a good, safe feeling.

Receiving Smarchcards!

I never expected it would put such a big silly grin on my face :)

Re: What Makes You Happy?

i was testing out my time machine. it's powered by smarchcards. and evil.

[editted: but not really because i actually went back in time to fix it, but my computer's really slow so the change hasn't gone through yet. yes. that's what happened.]

Re: What Makes You Happy?

A 38F morning and a rare snuggle from the Mandy-dog.  Of course, that didn't last very long...time marches on after all.

Re: What Makes You Happy?

mmmh...
other people smiling at me (not making fun of me, just smiling to show they like me),
when I walk away from school into holidays, good jokes ;D, meeting someone after a long time not beeing together (mostly friends or family-members) and opening a present, no matter what is inside.


Dream on.

Taking my walk tonight, looking up and seeing stars - and recognizing Cassiopeia.
