Hmmm... is that an obscure literary reference?
Next will be... someone who tells people they should answer to no one?

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Same offer I extended to Seareach when she came through town. But I do now have two kids that like to wake up extra early. Fair warning, although they can be forced to be quiet. And the guest room is the nicest bedroom in the house.

'Tis an obscure Blackadder reference. Two, actually. The correct response is:Linna Heartbooger wrote:Hmmm... is that an obscure literary reference?
"Um, well, what we are talking about in privy terms is the latest in front wall fresh air orifices combined with a wide capacity gutter installation below."

Please do. I would love to meet you. But you will definitely need to give some advance notice, and preferably make it during a weekend so I that I have more time to be around to entertain you.StevieG wrote:I'll hold you to that!Cag wrote:I have practically never left the United States, which I seek to remedy one of these days.

Oh, and don't think it is too swanky, because it says more about the rest of the house than it does about the bedroom. But it is the only bedroom with its own bathroom (and shower).
Oh, and I forgot that Uss and Lorin stayed with us for a night during there escapades together. I guess you could kind of consider our house the Kevin's Watch B&B of Colorado.

Not a single right guess the whole page. That should mean something.

Yes.
But you must understand... baking pies is a sort of sore spot for me; my husband is better than I am by a HUGE country mile...
So I find the process tedious and painful, but he's like this dude who can slap out a good pie rapidly while only concentrating half his attention on it.
Ah well.
The next person will be someone who has never before heard the song "If I'd a-heard you were comin', I wouldn't-a fed my snake."

I'm reluctant to ask what you're feeding the snake.
Sorus, because she's a page behind.

This is how I usually think of myself, discouraged funk I've been goin' through lately notwithstanding...
anyways, so I accidentally clicked on this thread & therefore must post to it...
First, Khal- a wise choice.
Hmm. Someone who...
...thinks that baby cockatiels covered in pinfeathers are ugly.
(because if I'm wrong, I find another member of my very small tribe! so far, I know one or two other people who agree with me that they're cute. Good luck, person-after-me, figuring out what the right answer to this is.)

Or not not me. But not you. Not that not not you is bad, just not not not me.

I am not not not you. I think. I thought I had it figured out, but now my brain hurts. And to answer Linna's question, I think most baby birds are ugly, but most ugly baby animals are cute.
Someone who agrees that baby animals are cute.
