What is a braai? It is the first thing you will be invited to when you visit a South African expat or are invited to a 'do' in South Africa. A braai is a backyard barbecue and it will take place whatever the weather. So you will have to go even if it's raining like mad and you have a hang of a cold. At a braai you will be introduced to a substance known as 'mealiepap'. Read further for an explanation of pap.We're having a braai Now that you know what a braai is, here are some other words and phrases you will encounter when talking to a South African. It is also a useful guide if you happen to be visiting South Africa. The words listed here are used by folk of all pers…

So I know life can be rather sucky at times and during these times we often forget to remember the lovely things that have happened. I know it's something I struggle with. This year I am going to be doing something called the Happiness Jar. At the end of everyday I am going to write something down on a piece of paper - the thing that made me happiest that day. It could be a compliment, it could be a funny joke or it could be a really nice banana muffin. And I'm going to keep them all in the jar, and at the end of the year or if I'm feeling sad, I will have all these nice, pure happy memories there for me to look over. And it will show me that there is…

To all the Ajahs I missed before I've travelled in and out their door I'm glad you came along I dedicate this song To all the Ajahs I missed before To all the Ajahs I once caressed And may I say I've held the best For helping me to grow I owe a lot I know To all the Ajahs I've missed before The winds of change are always blowing And every time I try to stay The winds of change continue blowing And they just carry me away To all the Ajahs who shared my life Who now are someone else's bondee I'm glad you came along I dedicate this song To all the Ajahs I missed before To all the Ajahs who cared for me Who filled my nights with fantasy They live within my heart I'll alwa…

Hey folks, This is something that I've been doing for my daughter for the last few years, and now she looks forward to it every year. If you visit the Portable North Pole site, you can make a message from Santa to your kids. It is a really great way to get them excited for the holiday AND to get them to work a little harder on getting rid of a bad habit. If you would like, Santa will even send the child a Birthday wish on their birthday as well. It is just a really fun way to get the little ones excited and I love watching my daughter's face when she watches the video message (it is emailed to you). Her little eyes light up and she is all smiles. Anyway…

That can only mean one thing!!! Heart has returned from the mists of time!!!!!! Or the real life of doom >.> But I am back and that is all that matters!!! I miss you guys!!!

A place to post pictures of our furry friends!

Saw this picture on someone's FB, and it immediately made me think of Lanfear: Maybe that's how they dressed in her time, and the Sea Folk, being isolated, kept up the style. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it :P So who/what resembles your image of the Daughter of the Night?

Boys ... it's amazing that the species survives! lol Warning: some of these photos have nekked children.

I needed to start this because I have four players and I really need a studio audience for a couple things.... So welcome to the Peanut Gallery! What I need is audience suggestions for Scenes (Where would you like to see our Comics act out a scene?) Situations (Drop random situations on our Comics to act out) Silly Songs (Silly subjects for a quick song made up on the fly) Also, we need suggestions for "Galaxy's Worst". (examples: Galaxy's Worst Prosthetic Hand Salesman, Worst Smuggler.....) Remember...it's all Star Wars based! We appreciate the help and hope you enjoy the show!

Hi all! I hope everyone is good and excited for BlueCon this year! You really should be, it's going to be FABULOUS! Have you ever watched the improv show called Whose Line is it Anyway? I will be running a game thread this year based on that show, except mine will be Star Wars themed. I can't tell you any more than that, but what this thread is for is to sign up to play the game. I will need 8 people to play. Now, do not be disappointed if you don't get a spot because then you'll be put into the most important group of all....the live studio audience. All comedians need a good audience, and unlike the show, I am going to let the audience decide who wins each rou…

Hi Everyone!!! I am so excited for BlueCon coming up! Before we get started, I wanted to gauge the interest in a Worldbuilding Discussion. I want to know who would like to participate, and how they would find the discussion to be the most beneficial. If you please, take the poll, and then we can also discuss how you might like to see a worldbuilding discussion. If there is a response that would indicate a good level of interest in a discussion on this, I would love to know some of the things that people would like to talk about. Thanks Guys!!!!

I have no idea who is even still around here... But I am gonna assume I still have some old friends on here, since I love this place! For those of you who don't know me, I am Adella, I was insanely active (I drove Elgee crazy several times) on here for about a year I think, and then mildly active for a few months. I had to stop getting online so much when I got to a point where I was working two jobs, trying to work on my relationship, dealing with moving out for the first time, and blah blah blah. Basically life got insane! I have stopped in a few times since then, but I think stuff is starting to settle down, so I am gonna try to work some DM time back in!!! Since m…

One person I know from an FB group has recently turned a published writer and is offering her book for free for 28 and 29, ie, today and tomorrow. It would really mean much if you could buy her book. As a new author finding market is tough and well you just can't say no to free books. The Empire Crystal by Mallika Gandhi www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00GX49RPQ

Dear friends. Today, is World Psoriasis Day, a day that focuses on educating the masses about what psoriasis are and how it is to live with. Most of you should know by now, I have psorasis. I have "normal" plaque psorasis in spots here and there, mainly my legs and my scalp, and a severly painful pustular psorasis on my hands and feet, wich means that I get (sterile, non-infectious) pus-filled blisters on top of the dry, flaky skin. It's painful, it's messy, it's time-consuming. But it is NOT contagious. I've been stared at, I've had customers refuse to touch me, I've walked down the street and see people point at my skin make disgusted faces. I have on purpose cover…

Just listen to this girl! She's 9 years old, has no training, just taught herself to sing opera by listening to music found on youtube! Oh and she's half South African :P

My Nyn has finished her clinical year. I kept suggesting to her and several others on here, that we should do something to commemorate this great achievement. She has worked hard and has finally made it! You are wonderful Nyn. Congratulations on finishing your clinical year! Best of luck in your finals to come. Lots and lots of Hugs and kisses

I love pretty pictures. Interesting pictures. I love my new LG phone, that lets me take random shots of interesting things I see. So I shoot things but then what do I do with the pictures? Nothing, really. So I thought to myself: "make a thread!" And here it is. What interesting thing did you shoot today? Post it here! How would you crop / play with someone else's photo? Take mine (or anyone else's that have been posted in this thread), do unspeakable ... I mean interesting things with it, and post it back here!

Nice to meet you all, I'm Sabrina, active on tarvalon.net and 17th shard, crazy enthusiast for fantasy and general all round geek :)

Well you can go ask her any question you want (sorta) over here. Go! Go!

This is case number 2, in the matter of The Admin Formerly Known as Kathana. Jennifer Sedai, you are hereby charged with, on or about 1998, being responsible for the creation of the White Tower (and Warders) on Dragonmount. Also of changing your name and confusing people. Probably to avoid prosecution. Hah! Since it's unbecoming of an Aes Sedai to plead, we're just going to go ahead and assume you're guilty as charged. To avoid nasty accusations of silly things like "mock trial" and "illegal legal matters" and such, we'll call witnesses to prove it. You can't call any witnesses (unless you bribe the court). Court is now in dissension!
