So there are some pretty crazy user names in this here community, and I'm wondering how many of them have meanings, are abbreviations, a random orgy of letters and numbers, etc.

Mine, for example, is kind of from The Queen starring Helen Mirren. Prince Phillip's nickname for the Queen is Cabbage, and I just love it.  I'm first-generation Canadian with a British mother and grandparents that bore a STRIKING (and scary) resemblence to the Queen and the Prince, and I grew up surrounded by British culture.  I honestly call an umbrella a brolly without thinking about it. If I do something rather British, such as ask for a spot of tea, my husband will call me Cabbage because it's a ridiculous name. There is something about elderly people having nicknames for eachother that is adorable.

So what inspired your ADF name? Any dirty, kinky, sweet, funny stories? I'm home alone tonight so keep me entertained!

So its that time again it's been a slow week for the city of bones movie there haven't been alot of photos but i do have a few good ones for you so come on inside

So the other day I was in here...

and I realized I am COMPLETELY make-up and beauty supply illiterate. I don't know what is good quality. I mostly wear cheap make-up from kits I buy around Christmas and Cover Girl True Blend.

Come in and EDUCATE me! What are the best brands? And not just make-up. Tell me your favorite products.

Busy day today. Car had it's MOT, went shopping and was sorting the garden out. You see, not only is tomorrow the funeral, it's also my engagement party...yeah.

Day 31

Day Thirty One

Ask away the spoilery details you've wanted to know about fics. But yeah, there are rules-

• Look in the banner, you'd see that this particular CF is open for COMPLETED fics only. You cannot ask about WIP fics here. (Worry not, there will be a Spoiler CF for WIP fics the week after next, i.e., on 13th Sept)
   
• You can not only ask questions, but start spoilery discussions here as well. Example- If a plot twist excites/annoys you, you can come out and talk about it. That way we can keep the spoilers in one CF only.
   
• White out the spoilery part of your post.
   

NOTE- This CF is a regular feature on ADF. It will be posted on every other Thursday, alternating between Completed fics and WIP fics. See the banner for which one it is and you'd be clear, like the current one is for Completed fics.

Now come out and ask away. I hope someone eases your curiosity.

ETA: My apologies for the delay, I was caught up in RL and missed posting it yesterday. I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Okay, so I notice that I have the weirdest questions for people which I've never actually met, but for whatever reason I really do like to hear everyone's opinions.

This one is weird... so come on inside to see it... feels to personal to post on a facepage...

Hello!!

I am just looking for any advice or tips from fellow campers that have done internships. I am currently in my senior year working on my undergrad degree in Human Services Management. Which is basically a mix of a business administration degree and a social worker. I am now in the process of interviewing with a few non-profits to start an internship for this fall.

Any tips on how to make sure I get the most of out this experience as well has helping the organization I work with gets something (besides free labor) out of it too? What not to say at an interview. Does anyone know of any website that I get some ideas on how to revamp my resume. I am coming from the military and my current resume is very technical sounding.

Thanks for any help!

I live here:

and I walk everywhere. Take a walk with me!

Yay, early FFA!

So, I've been growing my daughter's hair since birth. It's long, curly and very gorgeous. I wanted it the same length so that it would be easy to put up in a pony tail or pigtails with ease. So I have never taken to her hair with a pair of scissors in the 4 years since I've had her.

Well, recently I needed to run some errands and took my daughter to my mother-in-law so that I could do them in peace. When I returned, I discovered, to my absolute horror, that mother-in-law took it upon herself to trim my daughter's hair, and decided to give her a Xena the Warrior Princess styled fringe (bangs to my US friends) because she thought my daugher would look nice in one. However, mother-in-law did not take into account the curling nature of the hair, and my daughter is now sporting 1cm of curly fuzz on her forehead and resembles Lurch from The Addams Family.

Mums, what would you say and do?

I'm wanting to hear your Mother-in-law horror stories. You know, the ones that have you grinding your teeth and thinking "What the.....?"  Make a woman feel better.

My recommendation:

Nobody's Little Girl

A billionaire couple searches for their long lost daughter. A lonely, troubled young man finds and gives refuge to a homeless girl with no name. Paths are crossed and hearts are given, but you can't keep what was never yours.

Day 30: LA Zoo

Day 30...

There was a campfire like this a couple of months ago that got deleted when the site got cyber attacked. With free for all here, I thought this was as good a time as any to start this up again :)

To campers with kids, younger siblings, younger cousins, etc...: share your "kids ask/ say super embarassing, jaw dropping, hilarious questions/comments. You know what I'm talking about-- Stork questions, what was that funny noise last night questions, funny anecdotes, the works. Just...anything that the much younger ones asked or said to you that either you couldn't answer out of embarassment, couldn't answer because you weren't expecting it to come out of a five year olds mouth, or simply made you mentally face palm.

Come on . Share your stories.

This is what I'm talking about:

Gross Misunderstanding

Author: The Romanticidal Edwardian PM
Renesmee hears strange noises in her parent's bedroom and her young mind jumps to the worst possible conclusion. One-shot. I thought this was going to be funny, but it turned out more serious. Still cute fluff though. All human, AU.

What well known or popular fic have you never read?

I've never read Wide Awake. I tried, too much angst for wussy me.

Just Keep Swimming: The Diary of a Dori Fyshe

Day Thirty — A Drive Through Tilden

I hadn't been to the Little Farm in ages before today.
When I was a kid, we would all pile into the car, hit the
grocery store for some leafy greens, and go feed the animals.
It's one of my favorite places in the whole wide world.
