Yes, I have a problem with larrge crowds in enclosed spaces making me claustrophobic. Noise also contributes to this... I can sit at a baseball game, or be at a rally, just fine, but at a party, if there's loads of people I don't know, and the music's on, I get nervous.

Do you associate enclosed spaces or music with something you don't like, maybe?

Ahem, you're the biggest sneak we've had since Corin, Mister!

Yeah, but I learned it from copying you :)

True, true. Or you might get someone from the Ministry of Silly Walks, and I don't like that idea.

Or you might get someone who likes Spam. I don't like Spam! :)

Noise just gives me headaches. I think I associate people, indoors, with bad kinds of noise.

I dislike spam, too, but then I'm an IT kinda gal.

What kind of headaches--like, where do you feel it, and is there anything else that gives you the same kind of headache?

I dislike spam, too, but then I'm an IT kinda gal.

Well, in that case, may I recommend some Spam, Spam, Spam, eggs, and Spam?

This knife looks very similar to the one my brother carries in his boot. Could be the same knife.

It is the one he carries. WM, msdrby's brother is a cop.

I think the courtship model is a great ideal, but it derives from a geographically-close family structure which, unfortunately, is increasingly rare today,

Mine are close. Heck, we're on the same continent!

Yep, all the proper safety gear, except for the sunscreen! LOL, we didn't even think about sunscreen, till I noticed elf-boy's pink shoulders/arms. I made him go inside and change into a shirt with sleeves. Nothing a bit of lotion won't make better.

Hah! Sure, they're close, if you count 1500 miles as close. Then again, I ~am~ the one who thinks that being in the neighborhood is within a 300 miles radius.

Okay; and for my part I've been working out between posts, so I'd best go finish that up. Have a good night, all!

But then I would never be able to fake and interesting conversation with normal people

Nice project! - you do it all official and level like!

LOL. This little $1.79 wonder I found yesterday is awesome. Slips over a string.

More easier to find the level of the string than using the 4ft monster. The monster is great for leveling the bricks though.

Nice pics!--looks like a fun project :)

This kind of stuff is a blast. Right up to the point where the muscle aches kick in. Which was about 10 minutes ago.
