That's right, Kaz (kanogeni) is 25 today! Wish her a good one!! March 21st Nat: Today's Birthday Wishes go to Molly (ambersolsticewolf)! Many happy returns to you :D Oops! Nat needs to read the event on the calendar and not just assume it's a birthday announcement *hides* March 19th AJ:The third puzzle in the Puzzlemaster's Lair has been re-posted, after fixing a typo. Those who submitted answers before the change have been neomailed. Happy puzzling! March 17th Melissa: POTATO FIGHT! Is it perfectly acceptable to lob Raw Potatoes at your guildmates? Well, it is on March 17! Make sure you have gifts from non-nfs allowed for today and then start lobbing. You may, of course, choose to keep any potatoes that are thrown at you, but I highly advise against eating them. Who knows how many people they have hit in the head? On Sunday head back to the guild and check out the poll -- we'll see who got hit with the most potatoes. Happy potato wars to you! Also, check out these trades from Kit for guild members. :) March 16th Nat: Birthday time again! Happy Birthday Sarah (drew_barrymore_lover)! Hope you have a fabulous day :D March 13th Melissa: I am back just in time to send a birthday hug to fletamw! We wish you a happy day, fleta!
