Just bumping to set you up for 3000.
Thank me!
I went to the comic book store in Pike’s Place. They had the Rifts RPG game guide, which I actually spent a month before the last patrol looking for. Then I went to Barnes and Noble, in the mall. They had none of the books I was looking for. They did, however, have a Jim Butcher novel that I’d missed, so it wasn’t a total waste of time. I saw that new movie which makes fun of Twilight. It was mildly amusing now and then. Not really the kind of comedy that I think is funny. No freak accidents or anything. The actual movie, seen when smashed drunk, is much funnier.
Afterwards I stopped at Borders. They had both the new Thomas Sowell, which I will bring on vacation so you can read it..I’ll be done with it by then..and the Brust novel. I have plenty of things to read now.
It means that no spark is igniting the gas, so the engine won’t turn over. To replace it with a new one is about $450, but a remanufactured one is about $120. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of money.
However: A friend from the church came by today (which is how I know it’s the distributor) and he is going to talk to the bishop this evening. I’m under the gun right now because my truck has to be running for a smog test by the 7th of September or I’ll have to pay penalties to register it late.
So right now, I’m praying for a miracle.
‘
There have been a lot of prayers going up for you and your family for a long time. It’s great to see them answered in such a nice way! Vacations are good!
You are THANKED!! Well and truly!
LOL!
:o])
Poor LoM is sick, and sleeping now.
*HUGS* to LoM.
(I always have to take a second look at “LoM” because when my brother was in high school, he had a comic strip in the school paper and signed it “Lom” ~ the first two letters of his first name and first letter of his last name!)
Thanks for the prayers. Now if I could just not be so doggone close to tears, I’d be fine.
Sheesh. You and Darks.
You do realize I may not be able to answer these questions until the story writes itself, don't you?
You can go anywhere you want to go. You're double secret security for the ship. You have special training and special access. Why you? Because no one would suspect that you are capable of the things you are capable of, or the remorselessness with which you will pursue your purpose, and no one considered you a threat to their plans.
The "sword" is a great deal more durable than it looks. It is a multi-purpose security tool, as are you. Looks can be deceiving.
Your ship has been the victim of treachery. Evil minions both internal and external pose threats.
Your loyalty is beyond question, but you are uncertain whom you can trust of those you meet. So far, you have collected companions who were also victimized. You suspect instinctively that they could not have been part of the conspiracy. Besides, in your opinion, they're not too bright.
Hmmm...is this somehow going to fit into a certain story about some certain felines? The possibilities are endless.
:o]
I hate to leave such interesting company but my feet are swollen today and I need to lie down and prop them up.
Don’t do anything exciting without leaving a trail of cookie crumbs for me. The chocolate chips are better, of course. ;o]
Thanks TC. I’ve really enjoyed gardening this year.
Everything good with you and yours?
I suspect the guy with the vision impairment may have suffered a case of leading with his face into the fist of a Crunch Class Bunnity.
Stats on Crunch Class Bunnity, stands twelve foot tall, weighs roughly four hundred pounds, can leap a good forty foot, runs at thirty miles an hour, and usually found sleeping pretty soundly in the lower level agriculture labs.
Unless accidentally enraged.
Battlespanner, highly trained to deal with whatever a battle throws their way.
Sometimes seemingly magic, can be found usually ‘behind the scenes’ dispatched on various duties around the colony.
But, they’re just a rumor. Right?
Heh, guidebooks.
There are more battlespanners, but where are they?
Something very dire had to have happened.
Do battlespanners come in multiple sizes or are they adjustable?
I'll leave that as an open possibility. It may fit better into some Dark fantasy, but it should stand on its own alright.
Obviously, it is a vehicle for the awakening of the Butterfly Warrior, and should be her story more than anyone else's.
How she gets into this timeline, and what the plot holds for her, well, the possibilities are indeed endless, as well as fraught with peril.
Both, depends on what method is used.
Usually human stock, with maybe some slight adjustments or modifications.
The shifting halls, where sometimes the echoes of the past play out before your eyes.
Do watch your step, and try not to think about the spectral images flitting about.
Sigh. Pulled out a cheap digital camera I’ve had just about forever in order to set it up as a webcam with my new Skype account. Seems it has no Linux support; I thought it had, but that was many years ago and a different distribution.
That's why I keep my nose in a book.
Among other things, it makes me invisible to them.
I’m on skype. We could say Hi in person, and soon they will have conference calling.
