Kevin's Watch

Wow, appreciate your sharing that, SoulQuest!

Definitely the books are extremely evocative when it comes to agitating depression-related feelings.

They are almost like a path, through some very deep and dark corridors, but coupled with disassociation in that they are a work of fiction.

For me, they offered a whole new place from which to view real things.

Welcome to the board, and thanks for one of the very most amusing signatures I have ever had the good fortune to read! Procrastinate later ... indeed!

Very cool SoulQuest! The same thing happened 2 me--with Sky's suggestion to reread the Chrons many years later alot of healing occured! Welcome to the Watch...be welcome, and true!

Hail and well met Soulquest! I too read the Chronicles back when they first came out. And have re-read them more times then I can count during the years. They touch me in so many ways, through so many different times in my life. It has always amazed me how Donaldson can make us love and hate Covenant at the same time. He truly is a genius.

Be welcome and true! This is a great board!

Welcome SoulQuest. I appreciate what you've shared with us. Each of the COTC has interesting perspectives. I re read these terrific books when I'm suffering from writer's block. Great inspiration.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! I wish I had known about this list a long time ago. It just never occured to me to look for one. Right now as a single mother of 3 living with another single mother, who happens to be bipolar, the rereading of TC is making huge impact on an entirely different level. I have this self-sacrifice thing happening. I call it the "Frodo complex." lol I am always out to save the world without thinking about what I need. Anyway, thank you for the welcome and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

BTW... a couple years ago I did a search for Donaldson and found his email. I sent him an email and he answered me back! We corrosponded a few times. That was just after my husband abandoned me during my last trimester with our 3rd child. Just the fact that he wrote back to me made a difference during that rough transition in my life.

Welcome SoulQuest Thank you for sharing with us, particularly so early in what I hope will be a long stay. Be welcome and true...

WOW!! Here's to you SoulQuest! You are to be commended. It can't be easy being a single mom, especially in these times.

And I LOVE your nickname, AWESOME

(any chance of you sharing that email addy? I Would love to send SRD an appreciation email)

Try this....

73063.256@compuserve.com

It does not look right to me, but I am not on my home computer right now. I am at school. When I get home I will look in my old saved emails for the address I sent to.

OH goodness, one of those compuserve thingies. It's a wonder people on that thing can remember their own, let alone others

Thankee SoulQuest! I'll give it a whirl

Welcome SoulQuest!! What an awesome nic! Be very welcome and true! Another mom for the Kevinswatch parent brigade! We want pictures!!

Just in case you happen to be on good terms with this .....husband..... of yours now, I'll refrain from shouting all the colorful invectives that come immediately to mind.


mutter mutter bastard mutter mutter

What bird said!!! Even tho I can't read them, I'm sure they are my thoughts exactly on this said...ummm...husband

LOL Well I am on civilized kinda sorta, but not quite good terms with my ex. The terms would be better if I recieved child support, ah, but alas not. Anyway, birdandbear, you are in Ft Worth! I am in Arlington!! We be neighbors! How would I go about sending pics?

There's actually an album on this site (see options above) for posting pics if there were any you wanted to share with the whole group (might not have been what you meant).

But you should have a decko (look) anyway, lots of good photos there, a set for photos of the crowd and another couple of sets for artwork/likenesses/covers etc re The Land.

Ok I added a couple pics to the album. The 2 pics are from xmas before last, but I have not scanned in any more recent pictures.

Cool SoulQuest! (You've got them on the general pics page instead of the 'Motley Crew' one but what the hey )

I'm up there too but you have to look under "Motley Crew" (there's a drop down box at the top of the photos).

I'll move them to Motley Crew

We're keepin' yer bussy today Vain, eh?

Have to do me chores at some point

Hey Neighbor! That's really cool! Amazing to find another TC fan so close! Actually I live in Hurst, but nobody's ever heard of Hurst, so I just say Ft. Worth.

DFW (Dallas/Ft. Worth), for anyone who's not familiar, is a huge metropolitan conglomerate that just sort of all bleeds together, made up of innumerable suburbs, covering a roughly 75 mile radius from approximately right where I live. As stated above, that's Hurst. The H in HEB (E - Euless, B - Bedford.) Also known as the Midcities, 'cause the three relatively small sister cities are smack in between D and FW. A lot of people tend to just claim whichever of the big two they're closest to. ie: I'm from Ft. Worth. Arlington is actually just over the line from Euless, with a little bit of Ft.W morphing amoeba-like in between.


So we be relatively close neighbors at that!


All that just to say that it takes us a good two hour drive if we want to see some open sky, and another two if we want to actually see some stars.


Some day I'm moving to Australia. Or maybe New Zealand. I've always had ambitions of being a sheep farmer.

Yeah we are neighbors! I am in Arlington on the Ft Worth boarder right off 30!

Dagnabit... my son is screaming at me "MAAAMMMMAAAAAA!!!!" and pointing for me to see Zooboomafoo with him. lol He is 2.

How old are your kids? Mine are 8, 5 and 3. My roommate's kids are 5 and 6. I go to school in Hurst at ATI. We should get together sometime! It will be great to have someone to tolk to that knows about TC. Yeesh... I am surrounded by... muggles. lol I find another word for it. Uncultured barbarians? lol
