    President Obama!

    Oh no debate there, I do think compassion is of the utmost importance, however, I also believe that this is an issue of compassion for all people on each sides of a virtual fence. I don't want to come across as though I am like 'Sargeant Friday' and 'just the facts please' as I am not...

    I won't be posting anymore...

    I actually left for a time because I was very politically involved. Contrary to what some may ponder, I am an American living abroad, so I have been really raving in excess about my candidate of choice in other forums. I think that keeping things not insulting is a very good idea. Sad that...

    Prayers for the Obamas

    I think it's nice that somone here thought about his family, since his grandmother was such a driving force in his life. After hearing about this, I went and bought his book.

    President Obama!

    I haven't been back in the forum in a rather long time, but I thought I would offer up some of my summations about the last few days. I did vote for Obama and some inquired as to why it was more women did not vote for McCain / Palin. Speaking as a woman, I do not think that Sarah Palin...

    In honor of Chris de Burgh's 60th birthday, I am now listening to 'The Storyman Theme' on his latest CD. :)

    Halloween is just around the corner

    My husband and I will probably settle in, answer the door for trick or treaters (every year here it gets bigger and bigger), light some candles, and watch my favorite Halloween Movies 'Hocus Pocus' and 'Halloween with Heffalump' on DVD. I figured that since the weekend will be stressful, then...

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL YOU October BABIES!

    Yes, when I was living in the US, after my 21st birthday, we stopped celebrating. Then I moved to Germany and the first thing my in-laws wanted to know was when my birthday was. So, every year, we go out to dinner on my birthday and gather with friends. It's a wonderful thing to be able to...

    Doc

    I agree, a good idea to incorporate Sprocket might be having Doc have a relative or friend in the film. I am curious as to how they will figure that into the equation. But, if Gerry Parkes (or other Doc actors are still with us) could do a cameo, it would be really neat. They actually did...

    Fun with random music...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Thank you. I'll cross reference that title with the Michael Bublé CDs as that really had me stumped. Now I have: Saint Peter's Gate - Chris de Burgh :flirt: Playing.

    What are your stories?

    My pleasure. I'm so glad you like them. The one with the paws turned upward is Sebastian and the one with the blue collar is named Sparkle. The mohair that I made him out of came from South Africa. It's very pretty stuff. I have loved sewing them since the first part of the decade. I also...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I have a CD by a French singer, Grégory Lemarchal playing, the song is called 'De Temps en Temps'. I have no idea what it means, but it's a lovely song and has a familiar sound to it...sort of like a song that Michael Bublé might have done in English.

    What's on your desktop?

    A graphic I made with quotations from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (one of my very favorite movies).

    I won't be posting anymore...

    Hi again all, I'm back. The life insanity question didn't go on for too long. I feared that it would have, and thought it best to take a break for a time to recharge the old batteries. It seems fine now, and I will post when I can. It won't be as often as before, but periodically I will...

    What are your stories?

    Here are two links to my some of my more recent hand made teddy bears. Since I said I would post it here, I figured that I should do that. I am currenly working on a 45 centimeter bear, and he's taking a great deal of time. http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/3348/svensteddyhp8.jpg...

    Spammers at MC...

    Yes, this is exactly what has kept me away from here for a time during the past weeks. I actually do help run a VB Bulletin forum (much smaller than this) and the spammers were really attacking full force last week. We had to toss out about half the registrations and remove over 30 threads...

    Fraggle Rock on Fanfiction.net

    My other proposed idea got picked up. So I may go ahead and suggest that they add 'Starman' the TV show to their listings since I know of at least four people who write actively stories there. I guess they really are listening to their members in that regard. If people here have other ideas...
