Do you have to stop being happy if you age? by Dash on September 20th, 2019, 11:55 pm
Do you? Maybe you do, but I don't. I was badly injured and now I can't work. I've been freshly divorced a year ago in September. I can't stand up for more than an hour at a time, nor can I sit for more than hour at a time. Rheumatoid arthritis is deforming my fingers and toes giving me crippling agony each morning it's under 70 degrees. It was 49 last night. I'm living alone for the first time in my life. Almost half a fucking century. My dog died in February, my baby brother died of a heart attack in March. I've stopped rescuing animals because I no longer can.
Was that what you wanted me to confess? There it is, in a nutshell. I will seek out things that make me keep going, not bitch, mope or dwell on what makes me wanna cry. I won't give up. I've made it through life this long and it will take more than this to break me.
I NEED beauty, joy, kindness, healing, writing, RP, gardening, a friend, a laugh. I don't think there should be an age limit on finding your own happiness. If anything, us middle aged women need more joy, not less. If you prick us, do we not punch you in the face? Sorry, I know, I'm weird. I've always been a derp because it keeps me sane and centered on happiness.
I may not have any more people willing to write or rp with an ancient horrible old crone like me but ffs, I'm still here to write, rp, chat and make friends. I made a friend today and that's good. Anyway, I don't like to mope, it's whiny and useless. it's weak. And weak is something I refuse to be.

&#$% Happens! by Gossamer on October 24th, 2009, 4:00 pm
Being a homeowner can be a tough thing sometimes. What is even more tough is when you start dealing with septic systems. They plug up, they refused to drain, the tank gets full.... and all sorts of wonderful challenging things happen. We recently went through a stint where our septic wasn't doing well. We decided the tank was full and wanted to have it pumped. This was after my husband had gotten intimately involved with snaking out the line from the house to the tank... then from the tank into what he thought was the house line. At the same time, since we live on a corner property, some jackass had probably gotten drunk, drove through our pasture, right through our drainfield and dukes of hazzard up and over our septic and out our driveway - potentially causing a whole host of issues. So, after not being able to fix it ourselves, we figured we'd call a pro and have them pump it so we could at least see what the issue was. I asked around to my friends at work (who all live in the boonies and deal with this topic often) and got a recommendation for a company that was local. They came out friday, and wow... I didn't know I was signing up for a college course in poo 101. First off, our tank didn't need to be pumped. That was great news because its horribly expensive. We have, it seems 3-5 years left to leave deposits before it becomes necessary. Secondly, the sneaky thing had three chambers... baffled... off either side of the main tank we weren't aware of. So... in essence, we pulled the drain field side of it, and that was functioning perfectly. We pulled the house side, and whallah... after having problems with it since around July, we found the issue. That baffled chamber was completely stuffed and compacted with material. Everything we were flushing was going into it, or trying, and not being able to get into the main tank itself. The septic guy, a 31 year old homeboy with an absolute love of septic systems sat there and lectured... [ Continued ]

Unofficial Newbie Starter Guide WIP by Dimitri on April 28th, 2011, 7:50 pm
After a recent, well for lack of better words, fiasco involving a bunch of New Characters joined us all at once and cane into chat. So I've decided to write this unofficial guide. This is in no way a replacement to following the proper protocols but can be used as a helpful reference. Before leading you along this new journey I would strongly recommend you read the following pages: Site Rules: These are rules strictly enforced, and all should be followed at all times. Chat Rules: These are rules for when you are in the chartrooms of Mizahar, strictly enforced, and all should be followed at all times. Terms of Use: The terms you agree to when you sign up, and the terms you must obey and follow. Starting Guide: The absolute best, official guide to assist you when starting the Mizahar experience. _________________________________________________ Step One:Do Your Homework First and foremost, congratulations on being intelligent enough to have discovered Mizahar and pass the signing up process. You will now begin the somewhat daunting process of discovering and creating the character you will be playing. You will be scouring through pages of information, not knowing what you need, or where to get it. When it comes to character creation, you have two major choices to make above all others. The Race of your character and the City your character will start in. For now one step at a time, and these steps are research. Step 1a - Picking the Race The race of your

My Life? by IceHeart on December 30th, 2011, 9:54 pm
I'm Emma and I am currently in Secondary School, or Middle School. I live with my three brothers, Mum and Dad near London, England and am very happy. I love fantasy and writing about it. I am currently writing a book called Something in the Soul, it is all about elves (Dark, Wild and Wood), humans and other creatures. I will probably be posting the story up some time or another, but I am only on Chapter Four, so yeah. Still time for it to fail . I am also hoping to write a sequel called The War for Fallelu. When I am older, I would love to be a history teacher for Secondary School/Middle School. I LOVE to read, and have just finished Wonderstruck (Brian Selsnick) in about forty minutes. I also like to write poetry and draw manga, anime, general chibi, cute stuff. My favourite type of music is-here comes the relentless scorn - Disney. My favourite band is probably The Beatles, Queen or ELO. So yeah! There's my life I guess...

Blog Entry #1: Trying to create a new form of RPG/Adventure tale by Alistair Trevon on February 21st, 2012, 7:07 am
Hello Readers of this blog,
Upon stumbling across this amazing site, I seemed to have found the inspiration I have been looking for in writing my novel. It is just in the idea phase now, but I am hoping it will end up similar to this site. I don't mean an exact copy with different names for everything but how it creates an RPG environment that goes away from the JRR Tolkien's template. In future posts in this blog, I will report progress and my ideas.
Thanks, Alistair
