Roleplaying Games with My Kids
I’m getting older, and more to the point my kids are getting older. I have six kids, and the youngest is 2, which is great, but the oldest is 16 and a high school junior and she is already driving and working and applying for college. As you may already know if you read my kind-of-a-review of THE LAST JEDI, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my kids growing up, and about my dual role as the guy

“Happiness is the most natural thing in the world when you have it, and the slowest, strangest, most impossible thing when you don't. It's like learning a foreign language: You can think about the words all you want, but you'll never be able to speak it until you suck up your courage and say them out loud.”

“I've been clinically diagnosed with sociopathy,' I said. 'Do you know what that means?'
'It means you're a freak,' he said.
'It means that you're about as important to me as a cardboard box,' I said. 'You're just a thing - a piece of garbage that no one's thrown away yet. Is that what you want me to say?'
'Shut up,' said Rob. He was still acting tough, but I could see his bluster was starting to fail. He didn't know what to say.
'The thing about boxes,' I said, 'is that you can open them up. Even though they're completely boring on the outside, there might be something interesting inside. So while you're saying all of these stupid, boring things I'm imagining what it would be like to cut you open and see what you've got in there.”

You're going to be at my local bookstore (Books for Less) on Monday. I hope you have a great experience meeting fans in Georgia. Thanks for coming and supporting small book stores.
Hi, good day. Dan!I hope all's well with you and yours.:)
Thank you so much for accepting my friendship, I really appreciate it!
Have a wonderful day, enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks for accepting! I absolutely LOVED Partials, and I can't wait for Isolation (0.5) and Fragments! The covers are beautiful!The little "Super Girl" in your profile picture is so adorable!

Thanks for adding me as a friend. I love Writing Excuses, by the way. It's been very helpful and fun to listen to.
Can't wait to get my copy of I Don't Want To Kill You in. I just love the series.

trust me this will put a smile on your face, make your day, or help you
Every night , someone thinks about you before they go to sleep,
At least fifteen people in this world love you.
The only reason someone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you
There are at least two people in this world that would die for you
You mean the world to someone.
Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
When you make the biggest mistake ever,
something good comes from it.
When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look.
Always remember the compliments you've received.
Forget the rude remarks.
So if you are a loving friend, send this to everyone on your list including the person that sent
it to you.
Tonight, at midnight your true love will realize they like you.
Something good will happen to you between 12 in the morning and four o'clock pm
tomorrow, it could be anywhere . Get ready for the biggest shock of your life
If you break this chain YOU will be cursed with relationship problems for the next ten years.
Send this to fifteen people in fifteen minutes !!
Make Someone else's day! Help get a smile on someone's face! Help someone out! remember
that your loved
F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
=Fight for you
=Respect you
=Involve you
=Encourage you
