up until i guess the pandemic they still did this????
posting pics from the 50s or whatever like the 2020 mapsco editions didn't exist????
#like yeah mapsco specifically closed up shop in 2022 they were based around here#but acting like this was some antique practice and not something that was literally phased out#by the use of smartphones and gps within the last five years is disingenuous at best

Oops, I'm so sorry!! I did not include the questions in my first ask so here we go;
1: 6 of the songs you listen to most?
3: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
19: What does your URL mean?
56: In a relationship?
Hi!!! (Thanks for including the question it makes things a lot easier!)
1) According to spotify it's:
-Wild Blue Yonder, The Amazing Devil
-Washington On Your Side, Hamilton Soundtrack
-No Worries, Robert Hallow and the Holy Men
-Farewell Wanderlust, The Amazing Devil
-I Design Disasters, Robert Hallow and the Holy Men
-Battle Cries, The Amazing Devil
3) The only book I was able to find in my entire place of work is a mapsco and page 23 is dedicated to a map of Denton County in Texas 😂😂
19) I actually have no idea. I vaguely remember that I went with electric because I looked at an electric outlet when I was trying to think of something and I guess I just added rituals on the end??
56) Yes.
Lets get personal!

yeah totally: I was a writer-downer and map-consulter. i can't remember anything for shit, you're right to point this out. we memorized--or we wrote. the hellish effort to get somewhere compared to today's slick GPS, it was hardcore.
image randomly stolen off ebay. easily an inch thick. you'd need a couple of these for your car in my area for the two major cities. and god willing you had a co-pilot.
#driving around with giant Mapsco spiral-bound map books of the dallas-fort worth metroplex#dog-earing your favs#bleached by the sun#AND THEN THE BOOKS WOULD BECOME OBSOLETE WHEN SHIT CHANGED and you had to BUY all over again jfc#things i do not miss

I've noticed that a lot of people of all ages take the internet for granted & act like it's always been there. I find this astounding because I still remember when it was unheard of to have in your house, much less the palm of your hand. We got the net on a desktop computer when I was 12. Now, at 34, I still treat it with reverence, like the amazing magic shit it is. Lemme tell you why.
Knowledge. If you know where to look and how to filter out bullshit, you have nearly all (if not legitimately all) current knowledge IN YOUR HAND. And it's available to you all the time!
Entertainment. Growing up, regarding music, movies, and shows, you either purchased copies of stuff you wanted to watch/listen to repeatedly, recorded it on a vhs or cassette tape from TV or radio, or you watched/listened to whatever was on at that moment. Now, with any device connected to the magic internet, you can pretty much watch or listen to whatever you want when you want to, often for free.
Reading. Back in the day, you had to buy or rent a physical copy of the publication you wanted to read (or the disks for your audiobook). I can remember being so hyped to read a book, only to find my library didn't have it (I was & am a hardcore bookworm). Now we have access to all types of publications online, often for free. You can buy or even borrow digital copies of books, magazines, newspapers, & audiobooks.
Shopping. Hate going to the store or mall? Well now you can pretty much do all your shopping from your couch & have it delivered to your front door.
News & weather. No longer do you have to wait for the 5 o'clock news. Get that shit in real time anywhere you are! See some suspect looking clouds on the horizon? Pull up the weather & radar on the internet! I cannot tell you how absolutely VITAL this is when living somewhere that has drastic weather changes on a dime.
Directions. Don't know how to get where you're going? Back in the day we had what's called a Mapsco. It was a giant book of detailed maps of a major city & it's surrounding areas. You had to look up the address & reverse engineer the directions til you were back at your current location on the map. Then came printing directions from a website that mapped it for you. Now you just type the address into your phone & it gives you step by step directions & traffic flow in real time. It will even speak the directions to you!
Tutorials. Want to learn a new hobby or repair something in your home or learn that cool updo for your next event? Back in the day, you had to take classes or do guess work to try to just figure it out. Now, you can Google how to do something & you have a huge list of resources to help you learn, from blogs, to youtube tutorials, to online classes.
Socializing & meeting people. Back in the day, if you were homebound or an introvert or just didn't want to go out, you were alone aside from people who'd visit. Wanna talk to someone? Better hope they are at home when you call their landline. Now you can communicate with people all over the globe who share your interests with ease! Just hop into a forum or subreddit that is focused on your hobbies & start typing. Depressed but don't think your friends and family will understand? Reach out to someone online! They speak another language? No problem! Hit up Google translate! I lost all my friends due to my illness, but now via the internet, I have friends all over the world that I can talk to at any time!
If you guys don't think that shit is magic as hell and needs respect and maybe a ritual sacrifice in its holy name a couple times a year, you are WRONG.
But in all seriousness, being in the physical condition I am in, mostly homebound, having lost all my friends... if this had all happened in, say, 1995, my quality of life would be so so much worse. I would be entirely alone & completely depressed. Because I happened to be ill at this point in history, I have a comparatively amazing quality of life.
I think too often we take the luxuries that the internet provides for granted. Take a second to consider how much more life would suck or even just how much more inconvenient your life would be without it & be thankful you do.

unaffilated; the Realms - people
Shona is in her mid 30's and is one of the Brits (a collective term we use for any and all of those with accents from England and Scotland because we do not know enough to figure out more than that). She's also been one of our designated drivers. She describes herself as a bitch by choice and says that if we knew and had seen all that she knew and had seen we'd understand why. She's abrupt and not good with people. Those from the Shadowlands call Shona and her two sisters "demon-born", although no one has clearly explained why. I do know that Shona is a light skinned black with stormy grey eyes. As in, you can actually see the storm clouds moving in her eyes. It's rather disorienting if you aren't expecting it.
Shannon is the middle sister. She's in her mid 20's. She was the first of the Brits we ever met. She's rather self-conscious about her heavy accent, as she knows that those who know us don't expect it, and tends to stay quiet or say as little as possible when she is around. She's not as tall as Shona and her eyes are midnight blue rather than stormy grey. You can see stars in her eyes the same way you can see storm clouds in Shona's.
Shawna is the youngest of the three sisters. She's only about 15. She found out that she likes astronomy and really likes star gazing. Her eyes are a dark forest green and sometimes you can see leaves waving in the wind in her eyes. These three sisters are the only ones we know of who have the strange eyes that they do. Shawna has been spending a lot of time in the Mountain Caves healing from a rather traumatic event she suffered at the hands of the Shadow Sisters.
Rowan is in her mid 20s and is the Brit that is around the most regularly. She's the only one who is NOT self-conscious about her accent and has different stories to tell people when they ask her where she's from. Of all of us, Rowan tends to get exhausted if she fronts for too long without a break, and she tends to feel more when she's in the body. Pain is felt stronger, cold is felt stronger, just about all physical sensations are stronger. She used to get easily overwhelmed by the sensory overload, but she deals better with it now. These days she mostly helps Raylene with the shadow kids in her care. Rowan looks much like the body with shoulder-length hair and lighter eyes.
We call Julia and Justin "the cockneys" because of their accent. There is a marked difference between their accent and the other Brits. They are brother and sister and are both in their mid 20s. They seem fairly cheerful whenever they are around and have a decent ability to laugh at themselves.
There is a young man somewhere in his late teens to early 20s whom we call the Aussie. He hasn't ever actually fronted, and we've mostly only heard him, not seen him. We aren't sure that he's entirely aware of the rest of us. But we know he has a distinct Aussie accent.
Stephanie Leigh (aka Steph) is 19. She is very pragmatic and doesn't feel much. She reminds one very much of Seven of Nine from Star Trek : Voyager. She's analytical and precise and eschews excessive shows of emotion.
hiddenstar is 17 and one of our devout Christians but certainly not typical of the faith in our experience. She has a sweet spirit and believes that if God wants to get your attention, He can do it better than she can. She's very accepting of people, very open and easy to trust. She has a lot of compassion.
There is at least one other unknown female in her mid to late teens who is also Christian. Every now and then the sound of her prayers reaches those of us fronting. It is oddly comforting, under the circumstances.
Victoria Green (aka Vicki) is pretty much the body age. Strangely enough, she is also main Renee's twin. If we have it right, Vicki came into being at the same time that main Renee did. However, Vicki was not subjected to any abuse. She takes her name from a pen name we came up with in fifth grade. She used to be front a lot, but now she spends most of her time looking after the kids in the Castle.
Alexis is in her mid to late 30s and is a very maternal presence. She is calm, with a cool head and a way with comforting people. She's very good with the children, who usually will trust her before they trust anyone else. She reminds us of how we think a mother ought to be. She also doesn't front much, staying mostly in the Castle.
Stephen is in his late 20s or early 30s. He is Steph's brother and is gay. He is the third adult who takes care of the children in the Castle. He's very good with kids and he has a comforting presence.
There is an unknown male is in his late 70s to early 80s. He's an elderly black man and we've actually only seen him once. He's clean shaven and wears a cap and has a cane. He gives good advice when he chooses to speak. He reminds us much of our great grand-pa.
the “Princess” is the Mistress's twin sister. She stays to herself, mostly living in the past. She can sometimes be seen watching the Meadow and staring off towards Equine Valley from the Cliff Cavern where she lives.
Melodie is 19 and is from the Mountain Caves. She is a healer and a calm, stabilizing presence. In the past, just her presence was enough to help main Renee find some balance. She has absolutely no self-preservation instinct. Someone has to be with her when she heals so that she does not drain herself completely.
Challeigh is 17. She is also from the Mountain Caves. She is psychotic. She sees spiders everywhere. Big, huge, furry spiders. It doesn't seem to bother her. She is pretty much used to it, but when she is near the front it is disconcerting for whoever is in the Front Room. Those around her pick up on her hallucinations of spiders. She is quiet and dreamy and vague.
“the assistant” is another one whose age is unknown. She, too, comes from the Mountain Caves. We don't know much about her except that she has, in the past, explained things about the Mountain Caves and those who live there.
zombie is a neuter. For ease we refer to zombie as "her" even though that is not accurate. She does not feel emotions at all and does not have a sense of self. When referring to herself she usually says "this one". She's a lot of help when the emotions are so bad we can't function. She can front without being touched by it. Emotions puzzle her. She doesn't understand them, can't seem to make sense of them.
Observer (f) is so named because she spends most of her time observing what is going on around us. She is 19.
The Recorder is Observer's sister, but we're not sure. We think she's in her late 20's to early 30's. Mostly she tends to take things down for the collective memory. We think she also helps to keep up with our internal "mapsco" of the city and surrounding areas where we live. She doesn't front, she stays in the background, and she doesn't spend a lot of time interacting with anyone except Observer.
Seamus is in his mid to late 20’s. He's also Irish. The first few times he fronted were odd for everyone. He has a very heavy accent. He's usually good at keeping the body safe and the system as a whole safe. He makes sure, if a system-mate has wandered off and gets lost, that we are able to get back to wherever it is that we are supposed to be. He also has a temper.
We know next to nothing about Sherralynn. She is in her late teens to early twenties.
Another one we don't know much about is the second Shannon (not Shawna and Shona's sister). All we know is her name and that she doesn't belong to any specific group.
Gina and Garrett are 34-year-old fraternal twins. They are some of the closest in age to the physical body, and were the first real "adults" to become main fronters. Garret is about 6' and Gina is about 5'11. Both look mostly like the body, though Gina is a little skinnier, though definitely curvier. Garrett keeps his hair short like the body, Gina's brushes her shoulder. Both have worked with the code rats to work on our various web design projects.
Bryce and Bryan are 31-year old identical twins. Bryce has fronted more often than Bryan, though neither are what you call regulars. Both are 6'2". They like to tease Garrett about being taller than him. They're both pretty wiry, their brown eyes have green flecks in them, and they tend to keep their own counsel. Both like to help Tony work on the innards of our computers. They seem to have a knack with mechanical things. Bryan doesn't talk much. Virginia in in her upper 20's, Vivian is in her mid 20's and Violet is in her lower 20's. All three are internal support. They keep watch over the kids who've kind of become a permanent presence in the Front Room Complex. They kind of do the same job that Alexis, Vicki and Stephen do with the kids in the Kids' Castle. They're really good at the comforting thing and most of the kids in the FRC consider them to be aunts of a sort. All three have long black hair and the same eyes as Bryce and Bryan. All three are about 5'8 or 5'9.

The ever-rising cases of thefts and burglaries sometimes make us believe that we are into the times where goodness has become a distant dream. But, contrary to popular belief, a security guard at Mapasko Casabella did something which is not just commendable but also restored our faith that good people do exist in this world.
Dharmendra was on duty at AB2 tower when he spotted a wallet lying near the entrance gate of the society. He did not get lured by the money and all the important documents which were kept inside the wallet.
Instead, Dharmendra searched for the owner’s identity inside the wallet. He found that the wallet belonged to Randeep who visited one of his relative at the society. He made sure that the wallet reaches its owner. He delivered the wallet with all its belongings intact at the address which he found inside the wallet.
When Randeep received his wallet from the security guard, he could not initially believe that he has actually got his wallet back with all its belongings safe. He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Dharmendra.
He said, “I am thankful to Dharmendra for his kind gesture. My wallet had all the important documents along with my ATM card, which is safe because of Dharmendra.”
Randeep also offered some tip to the security guard, but he totally refused it.
“We at Mapsko Group believe in honesty and goodwill and it is reflected through the act of our employees also. We appreciate and encourage Dharmendra’s honesty, which restores the faith in humanity and I am proud that we at Mapsco are directly associated with such noble souls. He has proven that the honesty is and will always be the best policy to build and nurture relationships and trust,” said Mridul Paliwal, AGM - Marketing, Mapsko Group.

For all my friends and family that have never ventured to Dallas, Daalis, or Dallus, here is an aerial view of one of the major mix masters (highways intersecting) that is fairly close to where we live.
TRUE STORY! Driving in Dallas...... First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is DAL-LUS, or DAA-LIS depending on if you live inside or outside LBJ Freeway.
Next, if your Mapsco is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one. If in Denton County and your Mapsco is one-day-old, then it is already obsolete. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. (Frisco has screwed everything up.)
Dallas has its own version of traffic rules... "Hold on and pray." There is no such thing as a dangerous high-speed chase in Dallas . We all drive like that.
All directions start with, "Get on Beltline," which has no beginning and no end. (It REALLY DOESN'T!!!)
The morning rush hour is from 6 to 10. The evening rush hour is from 3 to 7. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.
If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed out and possibly shot. When you are the first one on the starting line, count to five when the light turns green before going to avoid crashing with all the drivers running the red light in cross-traffic.
Construction on Central Expressway is a way of life and a permanent form of entertainment. We had sooo much fun with that, we have added George Bush Freeway and the High Five to the mix.
All unexplained sights are explained by the phrase, "Oh, we're in Fort Worth !"
If someone actually has his or her turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect. Car horns are actually "Road Rage" indicators - and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas ..
All old ladies with blue hair in a Mercedes have the right of way. Period. And remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas ..
Inwood Road, Plano Road, NW Highway, East Grand, Garland Road, Marsh Lane, Josey Lane, 15th Street, Preston Road all mysteriously change names as you cross intersections (these are only a FEW examples). The perfect example is what is MOSTLY known as Plano Road . On the south end, it is known as Lake Highlands Drive, cross Northwest Highway and it becomes Plano Road, go about 8 miles and it is briefly Greenville Ave, Ave K, and Highway 5. It ends in Sherman ...
The North Dallas Tollway is our daily version of NASCAR. The minimum acceptable speed on the Dallas North Toll Road is 85 mph. Anything less is considered downright sissy. It also ends in Sherman .
If asking directions in Irving or SE Dallas , you must have knowledge of Spanish. If in central Richardson or on Harry Hines, Mandarin Chinese will be your best bet. If you stop to ask directions on Gaston or Live Oak, you better be armed... and remember, it's legal to be armed in Texas The wrought iron on windows near Oak Cliff and Fair Park is not ornamental!!
A trip across town east to west will take a minimum of four hours, although many north/south freeways have unposted minimum speeds of 75. It is possible to be driving WEST in the NORTH-bound lane of EAST NORTHWEST Highway . Don't let this confuse you.
LBJ is called "The Death Trap" for two reasons: "death" and "trap." If it's 100 degrees, Thanksgiving must be next weekend. If it's 10 degrees and sleeting/snowing, the Fort Worth Stock Show is going on. If it has rained 6 inches in the last hour, the Byron Nelson Golf Classic is in the second round (if it's Spring) - and it is the Texas State Fair if it's Fall. If you go to the Fair, pay the $15.00 to park INSIDE Fair Park . Parking elsewhere could cost up to $2500 for damages, towing fees, parking tickets, and possibly a gunshot wound. If some guy with a flag tries to get you to park in his yard, run over him.
Any amusement parks, stadiums, arenas, racetracks, airports, etc., are conveniently located as far away from EVERYTHING as possible so as to allow for ample parking on grassy areas.
Final Warning: Don't Mess With Texas Drivers ... remember, it's legal to Be armed in Texas.

Before any of that was paper, and mapsco ruled that world.
“How Old Are You?”
Me: I remember when Google Maps didn’t exist. And even when it finally did, street view didn’t come until many years after that.
