Do I need to worry about someone trying to do something with my name & address?
They don't sound like those kind of thieves. Or that organized.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I echo David.
Hi Karl. We heart you, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The "use landmarks that no longer exist" thing is one that I have encountered pretty much every time I move. "You know where the tire store used to be?" No, no I do not.
My mother once gave someone directions that included, "Turn where the tree used to be."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're at WorldCon. Mr. S has been a devil child today. With luck, he'll calm down a bit, so the whole weekend isn't like today.
Oh, and Gary and I were 47 when Mr. S was born.

How do you find it, Sheryl? Compared to if you were younger? (Not that I am likely to have any children at 40-whatever, never mind magically having one younger!) I fell like a heck of a lot of my friends had kids in their very late 30s, but don't know too many older with young kids

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A coworker of mine married her second husband at 49 and had two kids after age 50. He adopted her two teenagers and they're all very happy. He is a decade younger than she is; maybe that helps. Me, I can't even fathom living that life.
Good thing everyone isn't like me, the species would go extinct.

And, Hi, Karl! Always good to see your pixels.
The rural community I grew up in had local directions like "turn where the old Pryor house was" and "if you hit the river you went too far."

I hear that. "Oh, you'd make such a great mother!" Yeah, but littles don't come with a return policy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
"if you hit the river you went too far."
Well, in general, if you hit a river, you've probably made an error somewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like the most impressive part about Tammy Duckworth giving birth as a sitting senator is that she is 50!
(Not that I am likely to have any children at 40-whatever, never mind magically having one younger!)
If I ever get back to dating, and somehow find a partner, it seems likely that I could magically have one younger! I.e., become a stepmom to kids who already exist.
