Hello to Newest Members

[annemehr]

First, I have to say thank you to Carolyn for emailing me that there's
a party going on in here.  I haven't been around lately.  I haven't
been cataloguing posts, or writing questions for my daughter's reading
competition, or keeping up with the Big List. No. I've been coughing,
mostly. In between, I'd get the dinner on, or run a load of laundry. 
If I sat down at my computer, I ended up playing games of Spider
Solitaire because my brain was too foggy to think.

It's time to shake it off.

It's great to see all the new members -- I've met almost all of you
before, and I'm happy you're here.

Reenact?  Never thought of trying that...
Let's see, which of my kids should I tie up and shout at?

What is Naan Bread?

Me too!  I'm taking along my daughter, who will be fifteen by then.
She's not as obsessed as I am, but you may have "met" her in the
Hogs_Head -- she posted a couple or three filks under the name of
Ereturtle18.

Yes, yes. Hammocks and gin. And malaria and questionable mail service.
 That's all very nice, but you forgot the most important thing.

Will you have internet access?

By the way, I did see your Snape post and was working my way through
it before I came down with this... viral thingy.  Turns out some of my
ideas about his backstory were a bit muddled.  I promise to get back
to it, though (heh, even if you've moved on).

Entomology, huh?  My daughter, on the other hand, is heavily into
etymology.

Dear, you have no idea. ;)


Okay, time to play --
