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.

QM - Mab's Experimental Punch Bowl

Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!

Round about the caldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
....

Who's the first to try this *offering up a steaming, frothing cup, from which weird lights emanate*?


Someday will find you.

Oh no. The drink is odder than originally expected.

Do you think we should add a different ingredient? Maybe eye of newt or wing of bat?

Final for this class. I have one more term. And then I'll have my BS. Hopefully, will make me more employable. Better. My current employer is toxic. They fired 3 more people -- one of which is my ex-boss's husband. The other two were long-term (and therefore made more $$) employees.


Someday will find you.

*hands Sisterdew a chunk of the other side of the mushroom.* This should get you back to regular size, right quick.

If you do not believe me, go ask Alice.

I've found some work to do, and one of the partners (one who doesn't have that much power in the firm) talked to me Friday.

Otherwise, no. No word. Although, from what people tell me they've said to HR on my behalf, HR must be tired of hearing my name!


Someday will find you.

Re: QM - Mab's Experimental Punch Bowl

Brother visiting is good. Your talk about visiting with your siblings reminded me, that's all. Must plan a game night.

I'm reading "Mistborn" right now. I likes it, alot.


Someday will find you.
