When we do get snow, they're only covered for a couple of days.
And The House is in the far eastern corner of Wake county.
That's cause it's here...
Grumble, grumble, grumble...rethinking what to do today and trying to figure out when I'll get these windows up...
Dang sending me out into the yard just as it started raining making me miss the precious thief!
- Use profanity sparingly... when you really want to emphasise a point... if you use it thru out, it de-sensitizes yer audience... coincide yer swearin with the appropriate increase in decibels...
- be animated... drive yer yer middle and index fingers thru a persons sternum/solar plexis to let them know yer serious...
- if someone ain't payin' attention, feel free to flip their seat over (with them in it) to let everyone know you appreciate their attention...
- feel free to berate yer audience if they don't get/agree with what yer sayin... references to mothers, sexual practices are most effective here...
These have proven effective fer me... heck... I've never been asked to speak to the same crowd twice... I guess I made my point the first time...
I had a speech class with a guy who brought a friend to help him out. The friend sat in the back of the classroom and a particular points in the speech would hurl a banana at the speaker who would duck just in time for the banana to splatter on the chalkboard...
I have no idea what the speech was about.
You should let her know that it would ruin Christmas to do that, because you will want to watch it on TV Christmas morning instead of sharing the morning with the family!
Here's a wild guess.....Maybe knowing their importance, Iluvatar removed them from the Ent's memory.
Because the Hobbits never left the Shire much, so few folk knew about them.... And trees rarely travel, so I don't think the ents knew a lot that they couldn't overhear from folk wandering through the forest!
I'm pretty sure they're able to keep their yards so clean, cause they blow them into my yard...
