I think it's terrific that you spend enough time with them to help them understand difficult concepts. I do hope that you also spend time with them watching movies. I find a frightful number of kids who actually BELIEVE that things they see in movies are REAL! :eek: I remember sitting...

Most impressive? Ever? :eek: Hmm, I'll have to qualify that in two stages: "Books I most often return to, to read again" and "Dropped my jaw, spun my head, made me think, but haven't been back very often (or since)." Most often returned to: Dune (yearly, and get something new out of...

:eek: EEK! Shades of Monty Python, SillyWabbit! Cathy Really, I swear -- the Penguins will be knocking before dawn!

We attention starved, isolationist nerdy hermit SCORPIOS have to stick together! :D :D :p Happy Birthday! Cathy

:confused: Out of how many sampled? Easy percentages to muster if you've asked five people. I'll be more impressed if you've polled a hundred or more. Cathy Penguins always fold their pizza and prefer anchovies to pepperoni!

New, as in "new to writing" or "new to you"?? I usually use great forums like these and several on Yahoo to find authors I've never heard of. It's how I found Jim Butcher and Kelley Armstrong (paranormal/fantasy). Sometimes, a clerk in a store will see my selection and recommend a new author...

:confused: I guess that "bookmobiles" are a particularly small-town American phenomenon, then? It's a library on wheels about the size of a moving van that comes to a central area like a grocery store lot and people check out books just like if they'd gone to the regular library. Then it's...

I did once. I had a Monza Super Spyder, and he was "Spidey" Good God, yes! I've had eight auto accidents in twelve years! :eek: Never once at fault, but I seem to have a target painted on me! Illegal in Texas, but I used to in Colorado. Less truck ruts. Always. Lots of bugs here...

Ooo! Thanks, Mort! I usually go through the drive-up and hadn't noticed that entry. Maybe it's time to venture inside to see the full board! Yay! Cathy Mmm.... fried!

Wow! I've never seen this one. I'll add it to the TBP list. Is it in print, Mike? Cathy

I like worldbuilding games, too. I like Age of Mythology somewhat, but the cut scenes were annoying. My all-time favorite was "Masters of Magic" but it was a DOS based game (I've even kept around an old 486 machine JUST to play it!) Haha. :eek: Cathy

I'm not. I've already had my say about Elvish poetry! :rolleyes: Cathy

Only the ones that mean you harm, direstraits. The rest are to distract you... :eek: :D And yeah, I love Hitman! I try for the "silent assassin" title, while my hubby goes for "mass murderer"! LOL! Cathy

And I read pulp with the occasional literary bent! LOL! But I've gotten several new author names here, just as soon as I save up some money. Sigh! Cathy

Heh, that's only because you haven't played Doom3 yet, bobby! It's enough to turn my jaded husband into a sweating, twitching zombie for days! :eek: :D I'm not too impressed with the television ads for GTA (every*#@% five minutes!) Boy, they'd better sell a BUNCH of those games to pay for...

Really, Liv? I didn't think that Digital Fortress (which I liked a lot) felt at ALL like Da Vinci Code (which I LOVED). I'm just starting on Deception Point, so perhaps that will tie the feel together and make me agree. We'll see! :p Cathy

Yeah, imagine seeing one similar from about six inches away hanging onto the bottom of the garage door while you're opening it! I nearly leapt out of my skin! :eek: Although I couldn't find the really icky one that was ACTUALLY on the door. I must have buried the image somewhere (definitely...

Nope. The best one was Tommy Lee Jones at the end of Space Cowboys! Now, THAT was a death scene. Tear-jerking and laughing at the same time! :D Cathy

Oh, had I but known! :eek: And here I was just having a nice plate of sauted Nurseryweb spiders in a rich marinara for dinner! SIGH! Here's a nice Texas-sized one! They get up to 6 inches across, and you find them in the most INTERSTING places. :eek: [/IMG] Sure, I could have made...

Hey, hey, hey! No divulging secrets now, Cie! :mad: :p
