talk about your fannish history

Stargate Atlantis is the fandom that ate my brain and consumed my soul. I love the writers. So many fabulous stories that I’ve read over and over. Like so many, I came to fandom very late, after the show had ended and though I don’t write, I do artwork.

I wish I had known about fandom and fanfic when the original Stars Wars seemed to have a resurgence in the ‘90s when my older boys were teenagers. They shared a love of the movies and the many books that came out in the ‘90s. I was in a huge fandom and didn’t know it!

I was also a big fan of ALL the Star Treks with DS9 probably my favorite.

When I was very young, I was devoted to the tv show Bonanza and I would draw the ranch house and the characters, I guess that was my first experience in ‘fandom’

I hope everyone is having a great day wether you are celebrating. Thanksgiving or not. Thanksgiving has not been a huge day of celebration since I was a kid, when my grandma would put on a huge spread including 2 turkeys and 2 hams.

As a military wife, Thanksgiving was often the best time to move from one duty station to another. And with none of the kids living close, it’s kinda 😑

So it is nbd to postpone it.
BECAUSE
Otherearths is a Chaotic Dumbass of the highest rank. I leveled up a couple of days ago when I ran out of one of my prescriptions and didn’t bother to get it refilled right away. Out of all of the meds I take, I thought that it was one that didn’t do much for me. I maY have been mistaken. The first two I days I felt like I was getting a cold and I was so depressed, I felt like crying. Which is something that happens occasionally anyway. But on the 3rd or 4th day, I hurt all over, achy and my skin actually hurt. I had a mega-meltdown while Max was away and smashed a plate on the floor because it had a duck on it. 🙄
I finally put 2 and 2 together and by next morning, Max and I had visited the pharmacy and I have enough meds to get me thru the weekend. I had run out too early because over the course of several months I had been forgetting to take them every day, and had enough to get me through almost 3 weeks.
The question is why weren’t these meds with the others when we picked them up at the first of the month. The pharmacist is looking into that.

I cannot believe missed the Zoom chat. ☹️ Hmpf.

So Max, Grrr and I were vacation to see two of our boys, the math major in Utah and Pathogist son in Colorado Springs. We were then going to go to Yellowstone, which we hadn't been to since our honeymoon..Unfortunately after leaving Colorado Springs we got rammed by a a truck and rolled off the road. Remarkably Grrr wasn't hurt, but Max and I suffered some big damage. Max got out of the hospital after, uh, a week? I'm waiting to be released now after 10? days. Brain still fuzzy after concussion, broken ribs, broken arm, lots of bruises and such. I guees were going to spend a few days with pathogist son in Colorado until we can figure out ho to get home

My cell phone is being bratty. I can get mail, I can go anywhere on the internet, but I can’t make a phone call, or more importantly text.
The irony is back when cells were becoming accessible, I would loudly proclaim that I would be the last person on the planet to get a cellphone.
Yeah.
When the iPhone commercials debuted , I wanted one so bad, but I realized my hypocrisy. My youngest son said, “just think of it as a computer that you can make phone calls on.’’

Well!
I soon after became the first member of my family to own the newest, latest, greatest tech. 😳

And seriously, I rarely use it as a phone. I have less than 20 contacts on it.
