    Genealogy

    I have long had an interest in genealogy, and was wondering if anyone around here was interested in that subject as well. I have an ancestry.com account, had my DNA tested, and have done research for friends as well over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_Proctor_Jr. -- This is...

    TV shows you downright dislike

    Sometimes my parents call me Caillou (my name is Kyle). That can be annoying, depending on my mood, so I guess that show is my answer by default. 😛 Though generally if I dislike a show immediately, I don't stick around long enough to see more of it. I'm not the OP of course, but the other day...

    Why did you choose your current avatar?

    Because I love the Boston Celtics. I joined in 2006, and I believe I've had this avatar since 2009. In December, my MarioWiki career will be old enough to vote!

    I may have saved a life

    Hello everyone! Whether you’re from the US or not, I hope you had a great 4th of July. Mine was certainly one I’ll never forget. I’m visiting my girlfriend currently, and we had just gotten back from a walk with her dogs. She was not feeling well when we got back; she was shaking and sweating...

    That's Autism (Book)

    There's this guy in Australia that is writing a book titled That's Autism, and my story will be in it. I'm nearly done with my piece, and the book itself should be released sometime next year. I wanted to share this with you guys since I know some of you have autism as well (I was diagnosed in...

    Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield

    After my previous post, I purchased Pokémon Sword. I had a lot of fun with this one, and wanted to do it again. So... I started over! But fortunately, I was able to preserve many of the Pokémon I caught (via Pokémon Home). Scorbunny was my starter, and I got Squirtle on the Island of Armor...

    Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield

    I've only played the Gen 4 games of the core series, so I'm quite behind. But learning that they're remaking DP has rekindled my interest, as Pearl was my first Pokémon game. So I'm interested in purchasing the Sword version of the game, based on the Pokémon that are exclusive to it. I've done...

    2020 in review

    I said something similar in another thread, but 2020 was a very up and down year for me. On March 11, I lost Wookiee, my cat of 15+ years. I didn't leave the property for the next three months due to the pandemic, and that probably made the grieving even more difficult. There was little to take...

    Pet Advice

    My family is likely to move sometime in 2021 (hopefully Spring). I'll have my own space, like an in-law suite or tiny house. Once that happens, my mom said she'd be open to the idea of getting a third cat to join my current two, Dougie and Darla (ages 3 and 1 respectively). While I am an animal...

    What things do you regret doing on the wiki, forum, or etc.?

    I was a bureaucrat briefly in 2009. I didn't do much with it, and went inactive pretty quickly. I always got the impression that some resented me for that, but perhaps I'm simply being too hard on myself. Ancient history anyway.

    How y'all doing regarding the pandemic?

    I don't leave the house often anyway, so my life hasn't been affected too much. Although... On March 11, I took my cat Wookiee to the vet (RIP). I did not leave the property again until June 6, which is when I adopted my cat Darla. So that's a three month period where I did not leave the...

    What are you listening to right now? (PLEASE put videos behind spoiler tags)

    Talk -- Coldplay This song takes me back to when I first discovered it in 2007. I was 14, my cat Wookiee (RIP 2004-2020) was almost 3. I became an administrator in March of that year, and this place was still my primary social life. I miss those times.

    I'm ok with mine. It's my real-life initials and my birthday. In December of 2006, I joined the wiki as Yoshi626 and changed my name to KPH2293 about five months later. As that was hundreds of years ago, I'm sure very few people remember that. But good on you if you do, old friend!

    The "gifted child" problem

    This entire premise sounds very familiar to me. Maybe not in the exact same terms, but I do relate in some ways. I have high functioning autism, which I never received help for during my school years. This is because I was not diagnosed until well after it ended (age 22). My confidence has...

    Your current mood.

    I've been dealing with a lot of grief lately over my cat's passing. It's hard to lose your best friend of 15 years. There's a large void. Having my other cat by my side has been very therapeutic. I don't know what I would do without him.

    Earlier today, I made the extremely difficult decision to have my best friend put to sleep. His name was Wookiee, and he was about 15 1/2 years old. I still remember the day mom brought him home (November 26, 2004, I was 11 years old). He was everything I could have asked for in a companion. He...
