    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.

    Tattoos and Piercings

    Hmmm....I think sometimes people on this board forget that there is a wide range of ages participating. with very different lifestyles. 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 ...

    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...

    Views from the New Apartment

    What a wonderful view! Jealousy indeed! I am getting ready to move too, but all I am thinking about is how I am going to hate packing, how I am going to hate actually moving the stuff from point A to point B, and how I am going to hate unpacking! Is there really anything worse than MOVING? :(

    PPL on Ebay make me laugh

    Alrighty, as if you needed more proof, Wabbit... I just checked out E-bay for a car charger for my new cell phone. The bid price is at all of $0.98, but shipping and handling is $5.95! What is irritating is, I haven't found the damned thing anywhere else....yet. :mad:
