We are not there but we watch a lot of Twitch in this house. I'm looking forward to seeing what kinds of things Twitch may announce and how their first con turns out. It's been strange to load up the site and see all the people I follow be offline. I hope you and your daughter enjoy your time there :001_smile:

My husband and I like to play The Duke and What's My Word?

We have ceiling fans in almost every room in the house. It also helps having dark or thick curtains to cut down on sunlight/heat coming in through the windows.

My husband is an RPG veteran and he's tried to get me to play many different systems over the years. I could never see myself playing any of them. I watched this playthrough of Dungeon World and it all made sense to me. I let that be known and now we're playing through our own Dungeon World campaign as a family. :001_smile:

I make these potholders/hotpads. Some are given away and some are sold depending on the circumstances.

We take most card games out of their boxes and put them in this box: http://www.spacesavers.com/Storage/Divided-Storage-Boxes/Trading-Card-Case There's probably at least 6 different games in ours right now. If we want them in a more sturdy box (or to keep cards in board game boxes corralled), we use these: http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/145726 or http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/145731 If we want to keep them in their original boxes, they either go on a shelf or in a shoe pouch that hangs on our game closet door.

The site I always go to in order to research or look up a game is BoardGameGeek. There you can get information about a game, sometimes see the rules for it, see videos people may have made for reviews or playthroughs, and a lot of other things. The games my dh and I play together are: DC Comics Deck-building Game Dominion (but only with the base set + Prosperity. We don't have all of the expansions.) Eminent Domain Alien Frontiers Race for the Galaxy What's My Word? Lords of Waterdeep Summoner Wars Roll Through the Ages

I usually end up saying, "Do you have anything exciting going on in your life?" Even if they don't really have anything "exciting" going on, they at least take the time to think of an answer and then we have a starting point to work from.

Tsuro is a fun game that up to eight people can play.

Thank you for all your tips and especially for pointing this out to me. It didn't occur to me to search for a fish store and after doing so, I've found several in my town.

I was thinking freshwater aquarium. We do have limited space so I've got figure out the biggest size tank that will fit and then plan the fish accordingly. Whatever size tank we get now will have to be it. There's no way we could ever upgrade to a huge size. I've already warned the kiddos that we may accidentally kill some at the beginning of our fish adventure.

We're thinking about getting fish. I've done some research and realize it's not "just buy a fish and stick it in a bowl." What are some of your tips on how to get started? Anything you wish you'd known? Any particular website you refer to? There are so many opinions for first timers, I'd rather have one or two places to refer to instead of the myriad I've found.

I thought I'd pass along this article about the interpreter.

This is my go-to potholder. I don't worry about joining or counting rounds. I just go until it can be folded into a square easily. Oh, and I prefer using 100% cotton. I buy the cones from Walmart or Bernat Handicrafter Cotton from Joann.
