  • Add Poedaughterz

    By Andrea Menzies Plenty of New Years sparkle. I am Poedaughterz on the Highrise game or Poedaughterz on World of Warcraft for New Year’s Eve chat. My darn concert plans for Maryland this weekend got cancelled due to problems with weather at the Baltimore Amtrak train station that made the national news so it is…

  • Scary Obvious

    By Andrea Menzies I did not make up Captain Obvious it was a book character before it was an advertisement character.

  • Dystopian Holiday
