My grandmother passed away at about 12:45am, Saturday. The burial was earlier today. It was a beautiful service, and I know she would have liked it. I have had a rough few days to say the least, but despite how much I'll miss her, I know she's in a better place. If there is a Heaven, no one deserves to be there more then her. She was the most selfless, caring, giving person I've ever known or ever will. Kind to everyone, she always worried more about us then herself. She was like our Mother for a very long time, and I have learned so many things from her in my life. I'm thankful for everyday I had with her, and I know that someday I will see her again. I don…

Guess what I got today? You can't guess. I bet you can't. Ok, maybe you can too guess.... I got a TWINNIE mail today!! *dances* Now, to be honest, I don't really think I deserve this as I only joined the whole Nano thingy with 10 days left and I only wrote for 6 hours and only got 13.7k words. But MAN!!! Twin, honey, you spoil us rotten! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Loving my socks!!! I'm gonna wear them on my hands watching tele. They're fluffy and warm and cuddly and all kinds of fantastic! Red with bordeau stripes and just too great for words!! And a bag full of sweets!! and one hell of a fantastic looking letter of support and enouragement! …

As mentioned in this month's introduction thread, our thread of Thankfulness is a Kin tradition, and one we tend to post on a lot! As I think of this past year, many of our Kin family has had lots of struggles, frustrations and just some rough times! We have also had many joys and we have shared those with each other! At the beginning of the year, we also started a thread of what our goals and resolutions for this year were and have checked back in with each other with encouragement and congrats and sometimes a push! *grins* I'd like to challenge each of you this year to not just be thankful in general..but to take a moment to reflect back and then find three th…

Hi folks...please check in here!! LOl boy that sounds boring...ok a question. If you had the ability to give something to somebody...and I mean anything at all..to anyone at all...what would it be and to who?

I need to do something with my hair. My parents kinda want me to cut it. I don't know if I want to cut it and dye it blonde or just re-color the blonde chunk on my left side(I have lots of roots showing). So, I take it to the wonderful WoT people to help me decide! Either a: Cut it and color it or b: leave the length and re-color the blonde. This is what it is now: Front http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q41/tigara/213841.jpg Right http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q41/tigara/213854.jpg Left(where the blonde chunk is) http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q41/tigara/213908.jpg Back http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q41/tigara/213927.j…

Here is a little time waster I found. I scored a 2.78 margin of error on my first try. Eyeball game

Ah November…the 11th month of the year! *grins* The month we dream of turkeys roasting, crisp leaves blowing in the wind, the roar of the football fans..and the curious sounds of gnashing teeth, woopee’s and the constant tap tap tap of computer keys!! Yes, Fall is truly here as we embrace this month of Thanksgiving, football, the change of the seasons and NaNoWrMo! HUH? What is NaNoWrMo you are asking yourself? Ask no more! NaNo is the acronym for National Novel Writing Month. This is a competition that began ten years ago. It’s purpose: to inspire and encourage the wannabe, the hopeful, the struggling, the procrastinating would be authors of the world! …

Laughter, the jingle of harnesses, the murmer of voices, the sound of horses blowing air and stomping hooves drifted from the open barn doors at the Farm. A crisp and cool October night had fallen, illuminated by a full moon and a skyful of stars. The smell of Fall was in the air, smoke from the fireplaces, and campfires drifted on the slight breeze. Twinne walked into the yard, twirled, did a little Snoopy dance and then gave a yell.... KYN! LOR! Hey..you guys got that haywagon hitched up yet? GET A MOVE ON!! In response, the Haywagon, drawn by two huge Morgan horses came through the Barn doors, Kyn holding the reigns, chirruping the horses, while Lor st…

YIPPEE! It's time for a Kin Happy Mail Exchange! *winks* Now we have skipped a couple months this summer..LOL while our postcards have been busy on the wings of the USPS!!! But now it's time to jump into sending a giggle and a smile to a fellow Kinster!! In the past..August has been the month for a book swap...without much enthusiasm. :( But, one of the suggestions in our planning was to tweak this to a... BOOKMARK EXCHANGE!!! *grins* Fun, something useful and not terribly expensive either! I love bookmarks!! LOL and use them always! In fact I seem to have a collection of them I realized the other day! Ok folks...get in here to sig…

Welcome to History 1313! This is where we will be talking about the beginnings and and origins of Halloween! Now here's a question..Is Halloween an American thing? Where did this celebration originate from? Do other countries celebrate with the festivities America does or something different? Is there a reason that has been lost for this night of festivity and frolic? The answer is YES! Our special Professor for this course will be Lady Ursula, with Twinnie assisting her! Other countries do celebrate the Halloween holiday..but not as Americans do and for different reasons. Thier celebrations usually focus on the dead..celebrating them or helping the…

Right, so here I am, under orders to 'spread the love'. But how does one tell an org to LOVE each other when that's already sorta' the theme of the org to begin with??? Like so..... KINSTERS!!! BE YOURSELF!!! there, job well done, i should get cookies now. ;D Oh, one more thing...... Moghedien has the most beautiful eyelashes of the entire DM world!

Ok it's that time of year...when all kinds of new movies come out, and all the networks go nuts building up thier new shows for the season! So tell us what you're looking forward too,anticipating..the time slot that we can expect to NOT see you here this fall!!! Will you be Dancing with the Stars? Getting tips from The Nanny? Checking on those Desperate Housewives? or maybe one of those initial shows like BSG? Lost? or in New York with the detectives and lawyers that keep us on track in the library of Law and Orders? here's the remote!

*.....Runs in an pokes every one with his Golden Needles* Cause I can, and haven't broken them in yet.

September in the Kin is Disaster Relief Month. A time when we talk about and encourage our members to involve themselves in reaching out to help the community..world, regional, city, or neighborhood in a time of crisis. Although I'm not sure about the Kin's history...I'm pretty sure this came about around the time of 9-11. But, when you think about, in the US..September is also the hieght of Hurricane Season. We just saw Ike hit the Texas coast, and it was September when Katrina did her damage too and the terrible tsunami in asia! This year, I'd like to look at Disaster Relief from a bit different perspective. There is no doubt of the need for giving and help, vo…

Ahhh…September! I LOVE this month!! LOL!! To me, September has always been the beginning of the Holiday Season! School started, Fall is in the air, the State Fair is here, the new season of TV shows begins… and the month starts with my BIRTHDAY! Best of all…it meant that very soon it would be Halloween, then Thanksgiving and then Christmas!! I love holidays!! September in the Kin is going to be about getting to know each other a bit better, catching up on some business type things we need to do, and wrapping up the Gleeman’s Tale! The Gleeman’s Tale Headmistress Loraine is missing from Kin University! HORRORS! Professor Holly Wasseling is attempting …

Don't worry, I haven't told the fiddles crowd about this thread, but Fiddlesticks people, if you do see this thread. No Spam Please. Anyways, we just want you to know that the Honeymoon Thread is now officially the longest thread on DM. Thats right, we finally overtook your Spammers Challenge. Sincerely, The Fiddler's

Do you make resolutions every year? Do you break them? make them happen? Or maybe you make a list of 'Things to do in 2008'! LOL..our Elegant Eldest started our tradition of Resolution Support a couple years ago and showed all her Kinster's how well it can work!! That first year..she said she was going to buy a house, have a baby and get a job teaching..well she bought the house, started teaching..and then had a baby the next year!!! :D Personally, I don't make a resolutions...never seem to keep them! LOL! I have a good friend though, who always had a list of things to do throughout the year...everything from getting her closet cleaned to teacher recertifica…
