I have a canopied 2-seater swing on my patio, I put my feet up and swing when it's nice out. Only drawback is my dog is jealous that I'm not paying attention to him and wants me to throw his ball. :rolleyes: Oh yeah, bugs also ruin it for me. But it's still the best place to read.

Welcome! :)

I started The Da Vinci Code with an open mind but didn't get too far-I couldn't take all the flashbacks, which were pretty long but the reader is under the impression they took only a couple of seconds in real time. I can take a couple of flashbacks per book, but not every other page. It was...

Is that like low self-esteem with a sense of humor?

The info you've given is pretty general, but you can try taking a look at these on this website: http://www.leadpipeposters.com/collector_reference.cfm Hope you find it!

Do I detect a note of low self-esteem?

If worst comes to worst, you can cook the steaks on the barbecue! :)

:o I knew it-I so rarely get compliments! :(

How do you know I'm not Pamela Anderson? ;)

Doug, wanna write my book for me? I'll tell you what I have in mind and you do the writing! :D

Stuff in the freezer stays cold for several hours, if you don't open the door. More than 8 hours and I'd throw everything out. I'm envious of people with working fireplaces and/or wood burning stoves! :)

maybe it's a bomb? In which case, the box shouldn't be shaken. In this day and age, if I got a box on my porch with no address or any markings, I'd call the bomb squad.

Last night I saw a segment on the news about videos that supposedly teach children to read, count, etc. They showed a mom popping a video in (she had a ton of videos on DVDs in a large drawer under the TV) and watching fondly from another room as her kids sat mesmerized. This disturbed me-I...

Sometimes I think our early ancestors had the right idea-hole up in caves till spring. :D

Zolipara and Doug: good point about the quirks, I'll be sure to keep them to a minimum. I don't like character quirks popping up all the time, either. I'm thinking more of what sets characters apart so they aren't interchangeable. It seems to be a thin line between characters and caricatures.

I'll take you up on the offer! :D

and I'm sure Stewie will be first in line! :D

This is really helpful, Doug, thanks! :) By those standards, I'm doing pretty good-my main character is always surprising me with what she does next. I'm not very far along, so I'll keep that in mind as I proceed with the other characters. I'd be thrilled with one million! I'd rather...
