That is me at 10, next to a coyote that was killing our ducks.

Maeglin, the son of Eol, the Dark Elf, was one who I think let the dark side get the better of him. There were others too, I think. Jen will know....

Must go back to poring over the Silmarillion....

I didn't intend to stir up trouble, but initially it seemed like some here were a little too eager to inform on their neighbors.

I think we can chalk it up to the fact that our conversations are just words on the screen. We have a real danger sometimes of mis-reading each other, 'specially when it's an emotional issue.

We know you're one of the good guys. We are too.

And heck, we have to pull Vim back into line on occasion too. He recently spent two weeks at the Betty Ford Clinic for spamaholism...(He tried to tell us it was an audit at work or something like that...)

Thanks, Hair.

BTW, has anyone mentioned those strange Kinder egg commercials?

We are a good bunch!


Right-click & "show picture" if everyone doesn't show up... We are a pretty picture all together like this!

No doubt. I'm always getting slapped around for something. When I'm trying to be funny, everybody else is being serious, or vice versa. It's nice to hit those times where we all seem to be "on the same page".

I think so. Perhaps the little shapes inside are LOTR figures. :)

Contraband Kinder Suprise Eggs sales booming online

Well since I mentioned the Ashland victim above, thought I'd just let you know I just heard on the radio that he's been released from the hospital. Family has asked for privacy, so I have no other details.

Hard to believe that was just a month ago.

Sure does seem like a long time ago now.

He was one of the lucky ones.

I pray that other folk don't copy that sniper game. But I fear some nut will. Look at the school shooting phenomena.

And that kind of stuff is a risk to all our guns. People will not tolerate random innocent victims. We all need to be on our guard.

Are you telling me that hearing shooting in the "country" is as common as mowing the lawn?

At the risk of opening the argument again....yes it is as common as mowing the lawn. At least it is at The House which is at the edge of a small town. We don't even think twice about hearing shots.

I don't think we need to argue. Your situation is different than where Vim lives and where I live. Hair said from the beginning the shots were unusual.

Although I'm certain there have been times in the past when my neighbors wanted to shoot me for not mowing my lawn...

Hehehe....it almost freaked some city cousins out when they heard gunshot off in the distance while we were all saying "heard what?"
