Still here! :) Glad you and SIL like the villain ideas! For some reason I have an easier time coming up with ideas for villains than heroes--was like that when I used to Dungeon Master, too. BTW that book I was just summarizing says the hard part about writing comics is coming up with good villains, because the heroes become constant after a few issues, so making the villains interesting is the key to making new stories stand out.
I am going to try and get taht book this week...I can find it at Barnes and Noble right? Sounds like a keeper for what I need to start out with!
DRAT...am being kicked off puter...will try to get back on this evening.
talk to you soon! (and thanks again!)
And yeah, feel free to pick my brain for villains--I love plotting deviousness, bwahahaha! :)
There are other "powers that be" besides me?????
"There are other "powers that be" besides me?????"
Well, you gotta delegate, right? :)
We don't need no steenkeen delegation...
Evenin' folks. I'm not here long. We're just back from a five course Italian dinner.
Six friends, six bottles, two choices for each course...you get the picture.
Hiya FRiend!
Been a bit of a stressful week, but I'm muddling through. After three days of not doing ANYTHING (well, not doing anything or just doing stuff for the jedis sake, like fixin' them lunch), I decided to get up and do something. I got all the laundry done, the house all scrubbed, and a great deal of my homeschool stuff organized for next year! I even grilled chicken (well, I took the initiative to get the chicken out and defrosted...Steve grilled it...he's better at that than I am!)
So I've been working on this for 2 days and my chest (which has been hurting) quit hurting! Which may be because I'm only thinkin' about housework, or it may be because I've taken Zantac for the last couple of days! :-)
I did go bowling with my friend Celeste the other day...that was fun and really is what got me off my backside! She had me over to her house and the jedis played with her kids...we watched Gods and Generals. She loves it, but, Lord forgive me...I thought it was mind-numbingly boring.
I didn't mind, I enjoyed her company and just being out of my house. She's a good friend.
I'm lucky...I do have good friends...
Oh good!
It's a neat trick I learned while working in the hospital...like a heating pad that cools off...you don't want a heating pad on some patients that doesn't cool off.
We'd make hugh ones...take a bath towel, soak it, put it in a trash sack, nuke it till hot, put it in a draw sheet and put it on someone's back or leg to give them some relief.
Good night, Corin...I'll see you tomorrow afternoon sometime, if Steve takes the boys swimmin'.
Mountmorency Tart Cherry and Blueberry Juice
Tart cherries contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds. In laboratory tests, MSU research indicates that tart cherry compounds are at least 10 times more active than aspirin. The advantage of tart cherries is that they are more effective without any of the adverse side effects of aspirin.
"Tart cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety, contain an extremely significant quantity of melatonin, enough to produce positive results in the body."
In addition to the antioxidants, cherries are rich in two important flavonoids --isoqueritrin and queritrin. According to leading researchers, queritrin is one of the most potent anticancer agents ever discovered.
Montmorency Tart Cherry Juice and Arthritis Pain Relief
According to ongoing research, daily consumption of Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate reduces the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. To date no other fruit or vegetable has the pain relieving properties of Montmorency Cherries. According to research at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan the presence of three powerful anthocyanins in Montmorency Cherries prevent inflammation. Twenty cherries provide 25 milligrams of anthocyanins which help to shut down the enzymes that cause tissue inflammation related to arthritis and other inflammatory illnesses.
Oh! I forgot to tell you...it was in the mid 70s here all day today!! Can you believe it? WE should be in the hundreds...normally are this time of year!
Weird. It's 67 degrees out right now.
How interesting! Where do you get these cherries??
I'm more interested in the blueberries! We have 14 lbs of them in the freezer right now.
G'night, Corin! We other powers that be will leave the light on for you.

I prefer the blueberries myself, too :) I'm about half done with the 10 pounds I ordered that came in a couple weeks ago. They're so good every time I take a handful I inevitably find myself going back for seconds :) The cherries just came into bloom this week as well, so right now the fridge is packed with blueberries and cherries!
Am I that shameless to spam for the open Precious. . .?
I'm going to bed. Got church in the morning.
Night, my FRiend! Always nice to talk to you, no matter how brief.
