"The hose!" shouted someone. "Turn the hose on them!" ~ Henry and the Clubhouse by Beverly Cleary ------------------
The truth is ... everything counts. Everything. Everything we do and everything we say. Everything helps or hurts; everything adds to or takes away from someone else. ~ Countee Cullen We are weaving character every day, and the way to weave the best character is to be kind and to be useful. Think right, act right; it is what we think and do that makes us who we are. ~ Elbert Hubbard The simple act of caring is heroic. ~ Edward Albert IP: Logged |

"Hahneman came to realize that through the gradual process of dilution and succussion the remedy was 'dynamized,' that is to say, it exerted an influence on the organism which was of the same vital, dynamic quality as the vital processes in the body."~ Matthew Wood -- "Vitalism - The History of Herbalism, Homeopathy and Flower Essences" Something more interesting, you yawned?? 
Very well: "Listen to me, you must not show a moment's fear at whatever happens on the Hatching Ground, and you must not let her overeat." ~ Anne McCaffrey, "Dragonflight" Hey GG, how are ya?? It's good to "see" you again 
I sent you an email with a question awhile back, but I know well how busy the caregiver role is..... how's Kevin doing at home now?? {{{ hugs }}}

"Generally, their homes are showplaces through which they express their creativity and status." <--5th 6th-->(They entertain lavishly, and those who come into their homes are treated with warmth and love.)excerpt from Leo on the Fourth House Cusp paragraph in The Astrologer's Handbook. Sakoian and Acker
The above book was on the floor next to me... but the real closest (resting my elbow on it) is my forensic chemistry book. blah
"A(n) ____________ blood stain is formed from the force of gravity." the answer is "passive" and the book is "Criminalistics: Forensic Science and Crime" So, for game purposes... "Generally, their homes are showplaces through which they express their creativity and status." IP: Logged |

Man, I kinda feel bad for her and the females of this generation who actually think that crud like the twilight series actually gives justification of stories related to vamperic lore. The series does touches upon some key ideas related to vamperic lore but overall... Its so unimaginative. IP: Logged |

"But if I`m honest, I`d like to know, what he feels today."Where the high towers are by Utta Danella (I am at my parents`` house, and it was the first book I saw).
Anyone ever just posed a question, brushed up a book at any place and read the sentence, which fell first into your eyes? I have often found that those sentences seem to relate to the question you posed, and the answer of course.

Since my computer is right next to the bookshelf, there are dozens of tomes within reach....."We cling to the known and existing, even though another part of us wants to break loose." ~ Howard Sasportas -- "The Gods of Change" "He had avoided the great circle of stones, since he did not care to speak with Zoogs just now; but it appeared from the singular fluttering in that huge tree that important councils were in session elsewhere." ~ H.P. Lovecraft - "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" "At that moment, I realized that Rancid possessed the soul of a romantic, and that right here, on a mud-choked, rain-splattered mountain road in a remote corner of Idaho, chivalry was about to be resuscitated by a grizzled old woodsman." ~ Patrick McManus -- "Rubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs" "When word of Esther's experience got around, a reporter from the St Paul Pioneer Press newspaper came and did a story about my class and soon more and more students were signing up to learn Qigong." ~ Chunyi Lin -- "Born a Healer" "The plate we use now is quite modern, as you probably know; it was your father who suggested that we lodge the old plate in a safer place than this, when prices went up so steeply, though I doubt if anyone else would have realized how very valuable the old church silver was... did you know that the chalice and paten were Elizabethan, by John Pikenynge, and the alms dish even rarer?" ~ Mary Stewart -- "Touch Not the Cat" IP: Logged |

I'm getting better at the caregiver role for Kevin. He's walking a little with the walker, and getting up on his hands and knees in the bed. I think we are making progress. It is good to be here and see you all too. I don't have much spare time during the day/night, but I wanted to share this fun game with you all.
