http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/southernese.html I use "proper" English when conversing here on DM, but in RL, I use quite a few of these so-called slang terms lol. Anyone going to JCon may find some of these useful ;).

_wolfbrother_ and I wanted to let you all know that we are engaged and getting married next year!

As some of you may remember, in my city, I was suddenly confronted with the opportunity to...... Today, I was driving down the highway and saw this!!!! (I pulled over to take the photo.) Now, I have to worry about this: I WALK in the LIGHT!

I'm stopping in to say Hi to ya'll. Been a while since I've been around, still see some people i remember. I'm not even going to ask what I've missed since I've been away. I'll be hanging out mostly on the Turnings of the Wheel RP board (have a writing itch that needs scratching :P). But HI! Hope to see ya'll around some.

First it was "Blizzards" now it's "Tornados." Sunrise is fine. It's raining where he is. At least one person was killed as tornadoes and severe storms swept through northeast Oklahoma Wednesday evening. Some 67,800 power outages had been reported in northeast Oklahoma as of 7:50 p.m. local time. Hail has busted windows.

April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day, in helping to spread Autism awareness, many people and places around the world are going to "Light It Up Blue" (#LIUB). As some of you know, my son Jack is on the autism spectrum. It's important to raise awareness of this condition in order for those with Autism and their families to get the services we desperately need, as well as the compassion and understanding of our communities. So tomorrow I encourage you all to #LIUB, learn what you can and support your friends and neighbors who are dealing with this condition every day. The CDC estimates that 1 in 68 children are on the Autism spectrum, so it's very likely that you know someone a…

Yes, it's that time again! Please join us for both some old and new fun in Tar Valon!

Saw this picture, and immediately thought of her:

Back to the Future: The Age of Legends 2014 Empy Awards! That time of year has come again when Dragonmount celebrates the year that has passed and all the fun we have had. As you may have guessed, this year's theme is the mysterious wonder that was the Age of Legends. With homage to the Back to the Future series, the theme is to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future. As the Wheel weaves, what once was will come again. Thus, we have one question to ask: Who are the Legends of our Age? Who will take out the Dragon Award? Which group will win the V’Saine Award? Who can live up to the expectations of the First Amo…

In short: Find a postcard that depicts where you live. Write a message for Harriet on it, and sign it. Stick a stamp on it, if you want (to show what your local stamps look like). Stick the postcard INSIDE an envelope. Make sure there's enough postage stamps on the envelope. Post the whole shebang to: Maureen Carr PO Box 387 Gilbert, Arizona 85299 USA Do NOT send the postcard just as is - if it's addressed to Harriet, it will not be given to Maureen.

Since we're so few around, I'm "borrowing" Kronos's Cuen'd'eren Hangman game that he started over at the Whites, and which is so popular. I'm hosting it here over the Festive Season so all DMers can play with. The rules are simple: 1) The game is Wheel of Time based. 2) The "host" posts a noun 1) or a phrase from the WoT books, along with the required blank spaces and the letters of the Alphabet 2). 3) Players post their guess of a letter 4) The "host" makes a new post in which s/he deletes all guessed letters from the alphabet list, and enters the letters guessed in all appropriate spaces if a correct guess. Rinse and Repeat. 5) The person who guesses the co…

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/winter-storm-could-bring-a-blizzard-to-the-northeast/ NEW YORK - Mayor Bill deBlasio said Sunday that a major winter storm could among the worst the city has ever seen. The National Weather Service has a blizzard warning in effect for the New York and Boston areas starting Monday night. Forecasters say a massive storm could drop two to three feet of snow from northern New Jersey to southern Connecticut. De Blasio held up a piece of paper showing the city's top 10 snowstorms and said this one could land at the top of a list that goes back to 1872, including the 26.9 inches that fell in 2006. "Don't underestimate this storm. Pre…

Hello all at the White Tower; it's been while! ...again! I really am kind of flakey, aren't I? Anyways, you may notice my title says Miss Magdalene, and my gender is listed as female! This is most definitely not a mistake. I'm a transgender girl, and hopefully, if everything works out, will me able to get on HRT within the next month if everything works out! I'm looking to get my username changed soon too, but you can think of and call me Magdalene, Maggy, Mags, or any other variation on that. 'u' So yes! The Warders ratio of male and female members has shifted slightly~! Edit: It was previously Magdalene, but I think I'm going with Olivia instead; much more me, and…

http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/blogs/7-cultural-concepts-we-dont-have-in-the-us Friluftsliv translates directly from Norwegian as "free air life," which doesn't quite do it justice. Coined relatively recently, in 1859, it is the concept that being outside is good for human beings' mind and spirit. "It is a term in Norway that is used often to describe a way of life that is spent exploring and appreciating nature," Anna Stoltenberg, culture coordinator for Sons of Norway, a U.S.-based Norwegian heritage group, told MNN. Other than that, it's not a strict definition: it can include sleeping outside, hiking, taking photographs or meditating, playing or dancing…

A baby in the French city of Valenciennes was recently named for the chocolate-hazelnut spread, but a local judge renamed her Ella after ruling that the moniker Nutella wasn’t in the child’s best interest, according to the newspaper La Voix du Nord." Thoughts?

Just wanted to drop a line to say Hey!!! and let everyone know why I have been so absent lately. Myself and my family have been dealing with some super flu. We have been sick for going on 9 weeks now, never ending cough, especially bad for me. sometimes hacking so bad it hurts my muscles in my legs and back. I even threw out my tailbone coughing one day. Also sinus infection that comes for a week and clears up, or so you believe, and then back again!!!!

http://www.today.com/parents/utah-girl-asked-cover-over-dress-code-violation-felt-embarrassed-2D80453387 Gabi Finlayson had the perfect outfit picked out for the school dance last weekend: A lacy, light pink sleeveless dress that fell to mid-calf. “It was everything I wanted,” the 16-year-old Utah girl told TODAY.com. “It was so perfect. It was really timeless looking.” "School officials saw it differently. Upon checking in, Finlayson was asked by a dance chaperone if she had a shawl she could use to cover herself. School officials later explained the dress failed to meet a dress code rule requiring dresses to have straps at least two inches across each shoulder.…

I feel silly for always starting a thread about this, but I can hardly contain my excitement! I got my plane tickets--and event ticket--for JordanCon last night! AND, my husband agreed to come with me this year. The first year, I went by myself. Last year, my sister came along. And now my husband will be subjected to all my crazy WoT obession. He's in for a shock, I think. :D Anyone else planning on going? The Author Guest of Honor will be Saladin Ahmed, whom I've very happy to get to meet!
