Welcome Jimdwa!
You do need to avoid the Runes forum entirely, as the warning on the header is about all you'll get. There are tons of spoilers in that forum. I also suggest that you avoid the "View last posts" function, as that will show you all thread titles in every forum, and you may see a spoiler included in part of the title in Runes forum.

Hail Man on Mowgli and jimdwa. Welcome to the Watch.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.
In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Hey, all...
As you know, I am the wife of sgtnull.
My name is Julie. Dennis and I have been happily married for 11 1/2 years now and he is the absolute love of my life. I am so proud of him, proud to be his wife. I think he is the most wonderful human being that I have ever known. We have a 23 year old son, Nathaniel, and a precious 2 year old grandson, Ezekiel (Zeke) who is a laugh riot and the most talented artist and the sweetest, smartest, cutest kid in the world! (See, I can too be unbiased!) I am not old enough to have a 23 year old son or even be a Nana, but here I am... Where the heck did the last twenty years go??? We have a four year old (almost five) Catahoula Hound, Sonny Roy Torres Wood.
I love music of any kind from classical to Irish to country to rock to Christian ska, but I especially love punk rock. I could easily be the person on the road whose music is too damn loud. I love to read and Dennis and I belong to a library book club that meets once a month and we are thinking about re-joining his old graphic novel group that meets in Houston. I volunteer with the local police department, the library, our church, and my favorite place - the Houston Zoo. I believe in giving back to the community, yes. But, I promise you, I get much more from the volunteering than I give. I am a big sports fan, but football is my absolute favorite sport. I especially love the New England Patriots and the Houston Texans. (See, I don't just root for winners!) I love to cook and it is one of the few things I will actually say I am damn good at.
I am a court clerk (for 8 looooonnnng years now) but my dream is to one day finish my Bachelor's Degree and become a social worker or a psychologist. I don't love my job, but I don't hate it either. I work 5 minutes from home, can go home for lunch, have insurance and benefits and vacation. Plus they send me to school at least once a year and that is always great. I have to keep reminding myself that unemployment would be worse than my job and that actually, I am pretty damn lucky to have this job.
I want to travel, I want to paint, I want to write great poetry. And I want to be the best wife in the world to the greatest husband (Mine. Quit laughing you guys!!)
I am not sure how much I can contribute to these conversations. You guys seem so much more intelligent , much more intense than I am, more worldly. And I'll be honest, you guys scare the hell out of me.
Look, I very rarely argue with Dennis. He just knows how to debate. Usually the best I can do with him is to either pull a "because I said so" or threaten to withhold something (nameless). And he knows his facts. I never remember my "proof" in arguments. I can tell you I read something somewhere or someone said something. But the moment you ask me where I read something or who said what and when, I'm pretty well screwed. Details, details, details....
But, I shall try to not bore you (not counting this post, huh???) and I shall try to be fair and to listen to you and to respect your opinion. And I'll try to start remembering my sources.

Ah...my long lost posting doppelganger! And Dennis sounds a lot like my dh, Paul. I am the same way. I remember reading something relevant to a topic somewhere, maybe even years ago, but ask me to say where or when and forget it. So I tend not to post too much in The Collective, unless it's something I can find answers to relatively easily.
I hope to get Paul to become a Watch member someday. But it will most likely not be until after his dissertation is finished. :::sigh:::
Well, there are other areas of the Watch more relaxed and less compulsively obssessed about details than the Think-Tank is. It is not the center around which KW revolves, though Avatar and the Tank regulars might understandably argue otherwise.mrsnull wrote:I never remember my "proof" in arguments.

Hail ye new ones! Well met and true!! May your days be long upon the Watch!!
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.
~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.
