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!

I am in Los Angeles, California, in a house built in the 1939, just outside the city.

We are quite spread-out it seems, with a fair bit of variation in different types of homes.

I like older homes, although they do need work - but I have a decent size front and backyard, which was very important when I bought the house (I had dogs at the time and they needed a yard).

In principle, I like older homes, too, but I am very pleased with the low level of maintenance required for my newish house in practice!

[sammydragoncat]

I have to admit, the low maintenance of a newer home is tempting. But newer homes are generally built further from my work, and I would rather have a shorter commute time.

Commute time is indeed important! When I was looking at houses, that was one of the primary cut-offs; they had to be within a reasonable cycling distance from work.
