Haha yes! I used to have family down that way, near Farmington I believe. When I was young we would always visit a water park and the Aztec ruins!
Hmmm, that sounds like Bisti Bay, maybe? And Aztec Ruins National Monument for the latter :D I've never been!

Welcome Laurien! Good on you for going back to school! As you say, it's never too late. I was a student when I was student-aged too, but I am a MUCH better student now than I was back then. Partially because back then I used to hang out in IRC with Tower people way too much to get sleep OR schoolwork done :P.

As others have said, no worries on the shy front. A lot of us are, i think, pretty shy in RL. At least for me this community was a big part of getting me out of the meter-thick shell that years of bullying as a teenager had me build.

Thank you, Ilissa Sedai! I think I'm a much better student now than before, myself...though I'm also not taking a full load, which I think helps. Other adulting fills in the gaps :\

Yeah, it's been the same for me. I have been working between 50-100% and then doing between 33 and 100% study load depending on how much I worked and other factors. I had one year where I worked 100% and did a 100% study load one semester, that was harsh :P.

Welcome to Tar Valon! I am retired Navy myself and also REALLY enjoy D&D. I have the honor of hosting a game that my two sons are playing with one of their friends! Proud Dad moment for sure!

Thank you, Ixialdor Gaidin! That is so awesome about getting to host for your sons and their friend :D3 And thank you for your service! The Navy holds a special place in my heart because my little brother was the first of my siblings to join the military. He joined the Navy and served as a SeaBee.

I am glad that you're enjoying the books this time around! I'd say welcome, but as you joined here before I did, that would be a bit awkward, so instead I'll say hello! :) Also always glad to see another D&D player!

And I just said my welcome on your own post, so it works out :laugh: If you would ever like to talk D&D (or anything else, of course), feel free to shoot me a message!

Same to you! I might not always be super prompt in my replies, but I will eventually get back to you!
