Hello Everyone!

We're scheduling a dryer vent cleaning, and if anyone else is interested, we can get a group discount. Normally, this service costs $350, but if more people sign up, the price drops to $150 per home! Not cleaning your dryer vent increases the risk of fire in your home because lint and dust build up inside the vents, which can become a serious fire hazard.
We've used this service before, and they do an excellent job. (He also offers duct and chimney cleaning if you need it.)

If you're interested, please PM me your contact info and address, and I'll arrange a convenient time.

Hi Ian

I lost the TH Writing Circle mails several computers ago...

If you have something of my attempt, can you send them to my Gmail account, pls? Yes, I know the level, but they gave the courage to try.

בתאריך יום ה׳, 13 במרץ 2025, 23:24, מאת Ian Walden ‏<walden.ian@gmail.com>:

Hmmm, tried to reckon timelines…

I was working in railway comms. The company I was working for went bust, and I did contract work for a while, but that dried up. In an effort to dig myself out of depression, I started volunteering at a Red Cross charity shop, became a casual paid member and I'm now assistant shop manager. The pay is shit and my boss can be a right pain in the arse, but I like what I'm doing and it's nice to know that my efforts are going towards helping people in need and not making some rich bastard richer. I've been there 12 years.

I've kind of dropped out of SCA stuff as I work Saturdays, so it's a pain taking a weekend off to go to an event. I help Ellen sometimes, reading and/or helping edit Compleat Anachronist issues. Recent attempts to organise events came to naught. One venue dumped us 2 weeks before the event. Subsequent events were not well supported by the shire.

I'm still around in Second Life, but not as much as I was. I did enjoy creating back stories, lore and word-building for sims and hope to do more some time. I'm still writing (remember the TH Writing Circle? I recently found a folder on my computer with some of the stories we did back then. Anybody fancy having another go?). I'm in two real life (aka meatspace) writing groups, as well as the one in Second Life. I did Nanowrimo in 2019 and finished. Sadly, Nano has completely disgraced itself with failing to protect minors and embracing using AI to write your novel, so I'm looking at alternatives. Ellen bought me a short creative writing class for Xmas, which I've just finished. The tutor said nice things about the sample I showed him from my 2019 effort. That was about a Victorian gent who is valet to gentleman vampire, as well as being part of a shadowy organisation that makes sure that supernatural activity doesn't upset the public too much (Men in Black for Victorian supernatural critters with a touch of Jeeves and Wooster). In light of positive reactions, I'm revisiting that as well as trying to finish the sequel I started for Nano23. I'm also working on a series of stories in which a polyamorous quad (2 musicians, an artist and a silversmith) get caught up in faerie politics.

My mother (83) has dementia - vascular and Alzheimer's - and is now in a care facility. She has no idea who I am any more and is rarely communicative when I visit). My stepfather passed away just over a year ago, aged 93. In his last few years, he was having respiratory problems and it turned out he had lung cancer caused by asbestos. I remember going on jobs with him as a teenager and him sawing up asbestos board for roofing.

I've put in a lot of weight over the years and really need to do something about that. I had a prostate cancer scare a few years ago, but it was just an infection, however I do have an enlarged prostate. Otherwise I'm ok, albeit with less hair.

We hope to see some of you in April. Part of me is looking forward to the trip, but also extremely worried about what's happening over there and a little worried about getting questioned at border control about all the things I've said about the mango moron.

That'll do for now

Ian

I moved across the country, to eastern Washington three years ago. I like it here and being on the opposite side of the country from my evil parent is good.

I've been running the Tumbleweed Music Festival (https://tumbleweedfest.com), which is not quite a folk festival (it is somewhat more varied than just folk music). I've also been helping my friend Dan Maher with his weekly radio show. ("Executive Producer" is such a fancy title!) That can be hear on Folk Music Notebook (folkmusicnotebook.com or their phone apps) from 7-10 pacific time, and it is archived at https://www.mixcloud.com/danmahersgoodroad/. If you like folk music, you might want to listen.

I'm still around in Second Life, but not as much as I was. I did enjoy creating back stories, lore and word-building for sims and hope to do more some time. I'm still writing (remember the TH Writing Circle? I recently found a folder on my computer with some of the stories we did back then. Anybody fancy having another go?). I'm in two real life (aka meatspace) writing groups, as well as the one in Second Life. I did Nanowrimo in 2019 and finished. Sadly, Nano has completely disgraced itself with failing to protect minors and embracing using AI to write your novel, so I'm looking at alternatives. Ellen bought me a short creative writing class for Xmas, which I've just finished. The tutor said nice things about the sample I showed him from my 2019 effort. That was about a Victorian gent who is valet to gentleman vampire, as well as being part of a shadowy organisation that makes sure that supernatural activity doesn't upset the public too much (Men in Black for Victorian supernatural critters with a touch of Jeeves and Wooster). In light of positive reactions, I'm revisiting that as well as trying to finish the sequel I started for Nano23. I'm also working on a series of stories in which a polyamorous quad (2 musicians, an artist and a silversmith) get caught up in faerie politics.

My mother (83) has dementia - vascular and Alzheimer's - and is now in a care facility. She has no idea who I am any more and is rarely communicative when I visit). My stepfather passed away just over a year ago, aged 93. In his last few years, he was having respiratory problems and it turned out he had lung cancer caused by asbestos. I remember going on jobs with him as a teenager and him sawing up asbestos board for roofing.

I've put in a lot of weight over the years and really need to do something about that. I had a prostate cancer scare a few years ago, but it was just an infection, however I do have an enlarged prostate. Otherwise I'm ok, albeit with less hair.

We hope to see some of you in April. Part of me is looking forward to the trip, but also extremely worried about what's happening over there and a little worried about getting questioned at border control about all the things I've said about the mango moron.

That'll do for now

I wrote a farewell for Bardi on here back in 2017, so I can definitely confirm.

Rowancat had disappeared from Facebook back then, but I could never verify what happened.

Then again, I disappeared from FB, too - even though I was able to give some notice I was being shown the door by Meta, I've heard from a lot of people that they never saw any of those posts.

Hugs,

Mina Ellyse

Thank you.

After I broke my shoulder i saw my parents about once a month. My father faded slowly. Sometimes he though that I was his aunt.

When he died my mother refused to go to funeral and said that she does not want to live without him. She died two weeks later.

I am pretty sure that Bardi is dead.

Where to start?
Three years ago I moved back home, when the repairs were done.
Theoretically that is. In practice? It considered still under repair because some apartments have problems.
Still.
But I have my own bomb shelter which came handy.
Because two years ago I broke my shoulder and use a cane now.
Finally I see some improvement but stairs are still hard, and when there's an alert you are not supposed to use elevator.
A year ago my parents died. Within two weeks. 93 & 89
Be their memory blessed. We decided to burry them on my brother's community,so he can take care of the graves.
Speaking of graves.we discovered that my dad's brother on Latvia died last September. He took care of grandoarents' graves we have to do something pretty soon, because on Jewish cemetery on Riga unattended graves got plowed.
Of Shira is here she may decide to tell that she blocked me on Facebook.
My eyesight is declining and I am yet to discover how to move Facebook to the dark mode, so I I yearly visit it.
I am on Quora.
And no, you don't want to reax my answers.
But I was on Three Minute Stories space for some time and you may like what I put there.
Or not.
What else?
My cats died on me and I took two kittens. Black. Thomas-Phantomas & Malish. Malish means little on Russian. He fit on my palm when I got him. Now he is Larger than Phantomas, but some of it because his hair is longer.
The last de Lint book that I read was Juniper Wheels second book.
The new author that I discovered is Robin Sloan.
The new music that I discuveref are VoicePlay.

Re: What's everyone up to?

2025-03-03T22:21:00.001-08:00

I have missed you good folks. I dutifully followed people through various SM
platforms, but those who were most insistent on it have kinda dropped away and
I don't hear from them any more. So, it's been an interesting time since we
last gathered on a list. Here's what's been going on with me. Sorry this
got kinda long.

Jo and I are still going strong, and we had our 37th anniversary recently. Jo
had colon cancer in 2018 and almost died from sepsis. She had heart surgery
in 2019 to repair a heart valve damaged from the sepsis, and she's doing well.
I had shoulder surgery in 2015 and the anesthesiologist punctured my lung and
I came kinda close to dying. All's well now with that.

Two of our parrots are doing well. Morgan died in 2022, she was probably
about 38 years old then, and she was really struggling by the end. Her mate
Merlin helped her -- he brought her food and watched over her. He's probalby
about 39 now, and he's starting to act like Morgan did several months before
she died. He had cancer in 2015, but surgery saved him and he's been doing
well since. Morgan helped him in similar ways when he was really suffering
from it. He's also having trouble with one foot and appears to be blind in
one eye. Their babies Miles and Cthulhu are carrying on. Miles has had
life-long health problems, but he's a real trooper. Cthulhu is a happy bird,
but kinda bitey.

I was laid off in 2021 from a job I'd had for 30 years. That job was doing
research in network security. In 2022, I got a job working for a company
called Netgate that makes firewalls and routers. I'm writing software for a
high-speed router. When I was laid off, I'd been working part-time 7-20 hours
per week. This job is full-time, and switching from part-time research to
full-time product development was a really tough transition. At least I'm
able to continue working from home full-time. The company is based in Texas,
but the employees are spread across the world. I'm approaching retirement
age, but it's still several years off.

Jo is still a professional harper, and she's also the primary musician (piano,
organ) at our church. Last year, she played in an invitational Scottish harp
competition and took the prize for best original music. She also got a grant
from Maryland's arts organization for its master/apprentice program a couple
years ago. She kept us alive while I was between jobs. We're both still
playing music together, and we're still teaching at Common Ground on the Hill.

Some of the biggest changes in our lives are related to our parents. My
mother died in 2020. Due to some extremely unpleasant family stuff, my
father had to leave his home and move in with us in 2021. Jo's parents have
had significant health issues for the past eight years. Since we're the
"responsible ones", most of the caregiving falls to us.

We've been dealing with great piles of stress as a result of our parents,
Morgan's death, Merlin's worsening health. A respite would be nice, but there
isn't one in sight.

It's been years since we've been able to really travel, but we're hoping we
can in the next year or two. I still look back fondly on the 2012 THing.
It'd be nice to have one again sometime. I've met 28 Housers, and it'd be
nice to meet more.

Wayne

here are some book recommendations:

anythine by T. Kingfisher

space opera:
Chloe Garner: the Carbon Chronicles
Ramirez: Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes

fantasy sf:
Lee: Machineries of Empire

fantasy:
Gockel: I Bring the Fire series
McCullough: Webmage series and Fallen Blade series
Vo: Singing Hills series
Wallace: Sin du Jour series

Also, there's the 2008 TV show The Middleman, starring Natalie Morales.
Adam Lipkin recommended it to me several years after the TH list faded
away. It's well worth watching.

While I'm living in the TV past, Schitt's Creek was very good. The whole
cast was good, but Annie Murphy and Emily Hampshire were outstanding.
