I'm about half way through. I think I am developing Coulrophobia to go along with my fear of killer monkeys.

Let us hope no monkeys in clown makeup show up.

I had a hard time figuring out where that book was going. Most of his stuff, I at least have a hint, but not this time! It was excellent!

Do you get his newsletter?

[Darkchylde]

Ummmm..... nah! Those peonies were from my mom's garden.

[Darkchylde]

Well, since my niece is 2, I thought it'd be better
if there was a pic of me at 2 as well. I'm much
younger in that pic than she is in the other.

[Monkey Face]

Coulda been sisters....

NOT!!!

The resemblance is there, though! That's for sure!

[Darkchylde]

My brother's other kids look like him & their uncle... but
I'd expect that, since they're boys. She's the only girl, like
me... so I'd expect there to be a resemblance between us.

[Monkey Face]

You're right, of course!

If all my siblings are lined up with nothing but their eyes and hair showing, we all look like twins...except for the eye color...mine are green...theirs are brown.

[Darkchylde]

It's not that easy with us. Looking at two of us together, you'd
know we were related... but the three of us look different enough
that when we're all together, people have to ask if we're related.
The oldest of us has semi-pale skin, medium brown hair & lightish
brown eyes. That one *pointing at he who is always at fault ;-)* has
the dark look all around, skin, hair & eyes. I have the truly pale
skin, light brown hair (dyed red, it looks natural... nobody notices) &
eyes that change color from grey to green, blue to grey-blue & such.

[Monkey Face]

Wow.

Now I feel like I came out of the same mold...:o|

[NicknamedBob]

"Now I feel like I came out of the same mold..."

Well, that's what you get for wandering around down in the Castle dungeons...

[sionnsar]

And the clothes come out with no wrinkles!

I've heard that before. Really?!?

[Monkey Face]

Yessir!

If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'!

No wrinkles. No kidding.

[Monkey Face]

Er...Isn't that "mould" down there? Or does it matter?

[sionnsar]

A Scot told me they wear sporans in front to hold down the kilt. I can see why!

That's what kilt pins are for, to pin down the front apron where there are string winds (such as Seattle's ferries).

"Sporran" is Gaelic for purse -- consider: your kilt has no pockets (unless it's an, ugh, "utilikilt"). Originally things were kept in a bag dangling from the belt; over time it became flatter and moved to the front.

Hmmm... I have a weeklong trip coming up, and it always manages to require a bit more than I can fit in the suitbag...

[Monkey Face]

I bought a package of four...two large and two medium for my trip to Pakistan. I had one bag...a rolling piece that would fit into the overheads on the planes so I wouldn't have to worry about losing my luggage. I packed enough clothes for almost three weeks, including unmentionables and nightclothes as well as two nice outfits for "special."

I couldn't have done it without those bags. They are worth the investment!

[Monkey Face]

Wal-Mart has them in the luggage section, and I think you can get them online if you have the time to wait.

Hi, KP!

Did KODT REALLY work your fingers to the bone?
