Lately, my heart has been breaking for my niece.  She adores her mom, yet SIL maybe goes to see her for 30 minutes a day and most of that time is spent on the phone with others. Now that I’ve said that, I feel more at peace and better able to move on to more […]

Ok, so that’s not the whole message you get when you miss an attack when MUDding, but the sentiment is there.  I’ve fallen on my face with trying to do too much, but all it’s done is get me sick.  Maybe I’m just having trouble thinking because I can’t breathe, but I can’t sleep either […]

Well, tonight a second person told me they found my blog when looking for the new address for Apoc. So, for any of you Apoc MUDders out there, yes this is Shar, and the address for ApocFE (Apocalypse Forever) is apocmud.usurped.com 4000.  I’d say you know the rest. See you there 🙂 After several questions […]

I was looking for a picture of the grade school I went to in the NorthEast Kingdom of Vermont.  When I’ve been talking to a few people here in Oklahoma, they’ve said they grew up in a small town.  Well, not many towns are smaller than Barton, VT.  According to http://city-data.com, the village of Barton has […]

I know I haven’t posted much in the last 2 weeks.  It’s just been busy.  Like many all over the world, I’ve been working and trying to prepare for that most commercialized of holidays, Christmas.  Don’t get me wrong, I believe that we should celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus.  I even insist on […]

I had planned on just leaving the below post tonight, but I was thinking about this while I was watching teevee the other day.   Have you ever noticed that most of the people in the shows are of a “normal” BMI?  I mean yea, there’s always the obligatory fat guy (or gal), but most of […]

Well, it looks like I’m going to have to design a WordPress theme after all.  I found a theme I think I can deal with for a couple of days, which is a good thing since none of the themes I saw match what I’m looking for.  Figures, I now need to sort out the PHP.  Guess […]
