There’s little point in talking to yourself. While one cannot deny the veracity of this statement, it must be realized that quite often, nobody wants to hear your opinion. Rather, they want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth... :wink: Ah well...onward and upward. Cheers, y'all!

I think trying to get the stories down is a great idea. My mother, while she was working took time on her lunch hour to type up family vignettes. They rambled from one topic to another, one child to another, one crazy thing to the next. They are priceless, both in their telling of my family's story,...

Say what you want. But this year, for the first time in 20 years, DST brought me an hour CLOSER to Spring Break instead of stealing an hour FROM Spring Break.

I will take that as a WIN!!!!

I finally uploaded the song I was working on last year. I still wish there were better transitions between the parts (esp. parts 3-4), and the end needs to be rerecorded, but I put the song away for a while during my divorce, haven't had the heart to work on it for a while. Anyway, it's about bipol...

So my question is: To whom does the Night's Watch belong? The wall was built by the North and didn't become the North of the Seven Kingdoms until the Targaryens showed up. So with Sansa taking the North as its own Kingdom, does the Wall go with her (the edifice of Brandon the Builder Stark) or does ...

Yeah, I wasn't all that thrilled with it. Of course, Danerys' father was completely mad and cruel. And her brother (the one the Dothraki "crowned") was cut from the same cloth. Seem to recall it ran in the family too, so maybe she did just lose it. (As pointed out above, she already got a...

Ah, Wayfriend. I feel your pain. But one of the core tenets of GRRM is that prophecy is often misinterpreted or just wrong. Stannis anyone? Arya killed the NK but was not reborn amid smoke and salt. But Dany did bring dragons from stone. But she didn't wield a flaming sword (unless you count Drogon)...

Yeah, but ... Yeah but .... The whole three-eyed raven/night king thing was never explained!!! Why did the NK want Bran dead? Why did he want to do it personally? What was the point of the three-eyed raven at all? I feel like they are letting the loose ends go. Not sure if Sam, Jaime, Brienne died....

Hokey Pokey is
Turn yourself around, but don't
Very confusing.

Syllables of seven; let's
Just have each one six.

Tree without a leaf.
Just an empty coat rack grown.
Hang coat in the yard.

Iamb more comfortable
