WriterCon Badges

[desoto_hia873]

What are people using as their badge name on WriterCon badges? LJ usernames? Does your real name go on there too? I want to register, but I'm not sure what to put on my badge.

ETA: I followed poshcat's advice and went with my username. Look for the short redhead with the chest that reads DeSoto_HIA873. :-)

My father came through his surgery fine. He was in recovery for a long time as they gave him a spinal and it took several hours for him to regain feeling below his waist. The surgeon said it all went very well and he'll likely be released from hospital later today or tomorrow. My sister and I will be on babysitting duty after he gets home until we figure out how much mobility he has.

Next up: My poor uncle, who is having one of his kidneys removed next week (gulp).

It really might be a good idea to live by yourself at first, if you do decide to move. Not that it's any of my business!

I think Jim would be disappointed if I got my own place, but his kids have been through a very difficult time (honestly, their mother? ::shudders::) and that matters more. For the record, I had nothing to do with the marriage breaking up. The ex took care of that her own self.

Don't worry about it not being any of your business! You have kids - that alone makes you far more qualified than me when it comes to talking about these things. I have a dog. I should have put my uterus up for rent years ago - it's not like I'm using it for anything. :-)

Jim is 45. I have a couple of other friends in Peterborough who are both older and younger than that - how old is Mr. Posh? It would be too funny if any of them knew each other!

He's just about 42!

Any of them know Jeff O'Neil???????

He says his name sounds vaguely familiar, but he's not sure. What high school did he go to?

He went to Adam Scott. Erm...what's your fella's name, if you don't mind me asking? I promise not to stalk him. :OP

Jim (Edmondson) went to PCVS. I'm also good friends with Shawn and Kathy Blackwood (Kathy used to be Barclay), and know Rod and Ondine Brendan (I *think* their last name is Brendan) a little. I think they all went to PCVS too. Kathy was into figure skating in a big way.

Any of those ring a bell?

D'oh, not one familiar name! I think they moved in different circles. :0) Jim might know Jeff's dad - Don O'Neil? He was in the radio business for many, many years in Peterboro.
