I started out flying sail planes at fourteen. I carried a CD player with tunes and would fly to the music. That’s where I came up with Skydancer because I would dance to the music when I flew. I later flew pseudo air combat and listened to Little Richard and waxed the guys who flew against me ...LOL

[left that other site]

I was very active on a GOP website, but as the 2008 primaries approached, I was becoming more and more disenchanted as they were pushing Romney in the Primaries.

Being from Massachusetts, I was aware that Romneycare was a bust, and the Gay Marriage thing started there. I stated my reservations about Romney and was hounded off the site by a very vindictive administrator who was in love with Mitt.

I desperation, i turned to FR. I was welcomed with open arms and have posted many times daily ever since.

I suppose i should change my screen name at this point, but everyone knows me as “left that other site” so I guess i’ll keep it.

As long as you don’t assume the other site was DU!

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Another short visit. :(

I didn't get home until well after 2100, but I did get a crucial piece of Christmas shopping done - Mrs. MacNessa's main gift. Joy will break out at Castle MacNessa on Christmas morning.

We're still behind the power curb - the tree is up, lights are strung, but we're only about halfway there with the decorations. Probably won't get to the outside lights until this weekend.

Tomorrow evening is our last rehearsal for Midnight Mass - I may or may not be on tomorrow evening.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."

First, the important thing ......

Many thanks to our military men and women, past and present, and to their families for all you do and have done. You are awesome!

Now, for the question at hand. Being a fanatic of horror movies, especially vampire movies, I chose the name of my favorite vampire as my screen name. Since I’m a bit of a “vampire” in that I’m awake all night and go to bed with the sunrise, it fits. LOL!
