    Crop Circles

    I have always dismissed crop circles as a hoax. I guess I am not really one for UFO or conspiracy theories. However, I will agree with you Wabbit, the designs sure are beautiful and a spectacle to see – no matter how they were formed. Can one of you tell me if any have been found in America or...

    What's your occupation?

    I am a lease administrator for a medium-sized corporation. I enjoy my job -- definitely not boring, but the hours are often longer than I would like. Take the good with the bad, I guess.

    Who is your favourite author, and why?

    I haven't answered in this thread because I find it difficult to winnow the selection down, but I suppose Voltaire and Poe would be my two list-toppers.

Way past for me are the days of going to a classroom everyday. What you consider cool is not what I consider cool. What you call rebellion, is different from...

    Tattoos and Piercings

    I have a tattoo. It is a small ladybug on my foot that can only be seen with certain shoes. Quite frankly -- l love it. I've had it for about 5 years. If you saw my manner of dress and style, it would probably surprise you that I have one. I am pretty much the stereotypical business...

    Ask Me Anything ...

    Well, I was close. :rolleyes: Black Balled: Oak Voting Box - Oak voting box used in small towns and fraternal organizations (by the way, many fraternal organizations were located on the second floor of the local general store) to cast ballots. Marbles were inserted into the opening to...

    Ask Me Anything ...

    Doesn't the term black balled have to do with pool and shooting the last ball -- the black 8 ball - into the pocket?

    Fav Poets

    A friend of mine introduced me to Rumi, otherwise I might never have picked him up off the shelf! Rumi was born in 1207 in what is now known as Afghanistan. Often called "The Great Persian Poet." A lot of his work clearly bears the stamp of his culture, but much of it transcends any time...
