Challenge #04468-L084: Everyone's Related

What happens when you invite everyone who are a part of your family through marriage and birth, invites everyone from THEIR families, for those individuals are your family as well, from marriage and birth, and THOSE individuals invite everyone from THEIR families through marriage and birth, and so forth?

You get everyone in the entire world going to one giant family reunion. Though figuring out all the branches of this family tree can be quite interesting. -- Anon Guest

"Did you know?" chirped Lynn, "Everyone born in Europe can claim a blood relation to King Charlemagne."

"Probably. It's been a long time since he was making babies," said Ma. "Those generations add up after a while."

"Are we related to anyone famous?" asked Lynn.

"Grug from the Stone Age," said Dad. "He invent fire."

Tuesday, Patreon and Date Night

I have finished a chapter of ADT! Hooray. Since it's a number divisible by five, I now owe some recordings. BUT... because date plns, I'm trying to focus on the daily offerings first.

If I don't get to the nonsense today, I'll get to it... Thursday. Because I already have PLNs to go help MeMum with nonsense.

Whee fun.

I also need to find a time window to concoct something for the Archive. I have some ideas, but nothing's popped into my

Challenge #04467-L083: Wastenaught

"What are you doing with all that plant waste and old clothing you're shredding?"

I'm going to make homemade paper.

"Paper out of clothing and old plants??"

Yep, it's going to be a very pretty soft green. -- Anon Guest

The thing about space travel is that it's difficult to take everything with you. Since it is the longest possible trip from A to B, taking everything for the trip means even more fuel expended to push it all towards B. Or

Monday, Backup Reads and Shopping PLNs

The cats need food, the fam needs protein, flavour, and little things. I have a bit of a Leyland's Tour ahead of me, which will commence as soon as the group's done with the backup reads. I have five stops this time and I can only hope I have enough money to cover our needs.

I'm good at juggling finances.

When I get back, that's when my offerings shall occur. Which means I can focus on being Prepared(tm) for social time

Challenge #04466-L082: Breakable But Better

In the early days, when humans were first officially recognized by the alliance, not a lot was known about them. Imagine the shock, and a little bit of fear, when injuries, including internal bruising, though no bleeding, and broken bones, not only didn't send the human into shock, but also didn't require full sedation or surgeries. And even more surprising was their recovery rate! -- New Guy

First, there were a few incidents. Close encounters, near misses, glimpses in unfamiliar territory. And

Sunday, Game Nights and Interesting PLNs

I need to get more supplies for the fam. I actually left the house to get meds, today. Considering the backup reads, the plans with Beloved for Tuesday... and some in-fam tech issues... I'm going to be a busy bean this coming week.

Fun times.

I have my second loaf in the incubator and baking today. Yay. I forgot to turn on the incubator so I have to add another hour after the current timer runs out.

Whoops.

One more hour into

Challenge #04465-L081: For the Greater Good

The planet's population was quarantined due to an illness outbreak. "Pure Life" groups kept trying to stop the Galactics and their allies from going in, even trying to use force, because "adaptation is the only way for a population to become immune." The humans with common sense laugh at them and plow through, saving it from becoming a dead world. -- Anon Guest

For every advance in science, society, and technology, there's at least one band of lunatics willing to oppose it

Saturday, Parkrun and Date PLNs

There's a movie called Mickey 17 out in cinemas now. There's another one called The Day the Earth Blew Up coming soon. Both of these are my personal must-sees. So we have a couple of date nights arranged. Yay.

I need to preheat the oven, arrange dough and shape at least one loaf. Since I have to get up at Awful AM tomorrow, I'll be doing my second loaf later on that day.

My shoulder's still giving me trouble and I've discovered

Challenge #04464-L080: But My PyxtokGram!

It is a time of peril, so while others are doing preventative measures. Others are wandering in the most dangerous sorts, taking 'selfies' and going where they should not, just to see what it's like. -- She Who Knits

Emergency Response Teams are trained to deal with danger. They have to act quickly, lest the emergency turn into a disaster. On stations and ships, even the passengers know to get out of the way or get to safety. Preferably both.

Friday, One Emergency at a Time Please

I have to make bread. I have found and ordered the spandek to fix the catio. One issue down. I discovered that I still get nerve jangles in my thumb, but not for the big things. I found this out when messing around with the bread incubator. But I can still handle my cane without janglies, and write with a pen...

So yeah. I started a second story in the Butcher's Book.

Relating to the title for today's blog... I had a

Challenge #04463-L079: Sacrifice For Knowledge

And you can add the rest of the Gekk mantra if you like. Eye opener, heart starter, friend in Long nights assignments. Have fun. -- She Who Knits

[AN: Reminder that the titles of prompt posts do not count for the prompt. I have to use what you put inside the post]

"It is said that the Gekk knew a mantra that could restart hearts and open eyes. Friend of the long night. Alas, what is meant by that saying is lost.

Thursday, The Quest For Spandek(tm)

It's an absolutely wonderful day to go on a Leyland's Tour to find, purchase, and haul a specifically wobbly sheet of metal homewards. By which I mean it's fucking raining.

I have a cyclone headache, digestive issues, my wrist hates me, my shoulder is in need of deep heat and a big burly massage, my feet are deciding whether or not they hate me, I'm constantly tired, and my right thumb has a glitch.

Recap: Last week, I turned a tap off

Challenge #04462-L078: Obligate Carnivores

The humans laughed in amusement as the galactic visitors learn of carnivorous plants such as sundews, venus fly traps, and pitcher plants, and giant ones such as the Attenborough's pitcher plant, which is nearly large enough to trap a small human. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I tried to find some size comparisons, but I couldn't find any that would imperil a toddler. A guinea pig, yes. Toddler, no.]

The package was large and in stasis. There were several warnings that alarmingly included

Wednesday, Catching Up and Relaxing a Bit

The good news is that my feet don't hate me more than usual. The bad news is that I have to wear a thumb brace on my right hand... because I did something weird with a nerve in there, last week, and an even half of everything I do aggravates it.

So my Butcher's Book goes without a contribution for another day.

I'm hard pressed just walking around with my cane. Writing with a pen is awkward at best. Honestly, using my

Challenge #04461-L077: Where it's Safe

From those printed source books that helped Afro American's to safely travel to those real or mental lists of 'I know someone who has'. They are priceless and often weird. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I'm pretty sure the polite term was African American... back in the 1990's]

Resources are more than the base materials used to create something... or many somethings. More often than not, resources are sources of information. Secrets to relative success. Passed along by word of mouth, by sigils
