I believe there were about 20 people in attendance and mostly were older in age (45-65 maybe), mostly men. Apparently this is one of the group’s least favorite stories so there wasn’t too much discussion except general points. It also seems they meet every four months or so. I believe at one point they met more often but the Mr. Leverton…[Read more]

Friday night I attended my first meeting of The Tankerville Club in Cincinnati. They hold their meetings a local restaurant and we just introduced ourselves and chatted during dinner. Afterward we were given a quiz on The Three Gables (the story we were to read) followed by a discussion. Dan Andriacco was present so I did know at least one…[Read more]

I missed this response, but yes! Cool! LOL!

Well, accessible for those who aren’t crazy like those who shall remain nameless.

Oh I was obsessed with Gossamer too! I never posted any of my fic there though.
Haha! She worked in the police office in the town where they were investigating. As she walked past Mulder he was staring at her ass and Scully smacked his arm. Oh lawd how embarrassing! HAHAHAHA!

Yes! I still talk to a few of those girls too. We each got a “couch cushion” and were picked items from the show to become keepers of. I also ran an X-Files newsletter that I would send through e-mail. I quit when a girl said she hoped Tea Leoni lost her baby when she got pregnant. NOT COOL!!

I grew up watching Doctor Who on PBS with my mom. Peter Davison has always been (and still is my favorite) with Matt Smith coming in as a close second.

And I am always up for any type of superhero Freema!!!

Opening Day was Monday, April 6th. It’s kind of an unofficial holiday in Cincinnati with parades and other fun activities downtown. I have never been able to take off for it, but there are always so many fun things going on. Here’s an article on it: Reds Fans – Opening Day.

So who is your favorite team?

The Speckled Band replied to the topic The X-Files!! in the forum Alpha Public House 6 years, 5 months ago

X-Files!!!!!!!!!! The first show I ever wrote fanfiction for and included a total Mary Sue character. In my defense I had no idea what a Mary Sue was. LOL! This was during the AOL times and I was in an X-Files newsgroup where I promptly received the nickname Morley because my username was CSMsWife. Hahaha!

Opening Day is April 6th!
Also, the Reds are the first professional baseball team and they always have the first opening game of the year. 🙂

The Speckled Band replied to the topic Hello! in the forum New Suspects 6 years, 6 months ago

Thank you ladies!! I am excited.
Chat, I have heard many good things about you!

The Speckled Band replied to the topic Dayton Symposium 2015 in the forum The Unofficial Force 6 years, 6 months ago

I had a great time and the talks are entertaining enough for those of us who aren’t exactly literary scholars. 🙂

The Speckled Band replied to the topic March Madness!! in the forum Alpha Public House 6 years, 6 months ago

No to basketball and football. I’m ready for baseball season! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Go Cincinnati Reds!
