So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

Still a grossly undervalued teacher. Would still prefer to be a professional writer, although by my luck, I'd be undervalued in that profession, too. *g*

Having gone to school for nine years in small communities in Sweden, I decided not to ever become a school teacher because they all were chronically undervalued. It always saddens me to hear of teachers not being properly appreciated, especially ones like you who really put some much effort into being good at it. There is sadly nothing much I can do to fix this, but I will offer you some (virtual) chocolate to show my support.

There was a really depressing statistical analysis by the trade union for Swedish employees with academic training a year or so ago, that showed you actually earned less over your lifetime if you trained as a teacher in Sweden! Given how vitally important teachers are, I think that is just horrendous!
