Happy New Year, Conspiracy Guy.

I'm wanting to send you dog pics but I need to wait for my husband to help me. I'm not good at the mechanics of this stuff. ...

I'm not sure when I first posted to UT, but I know it took me a good two days to read everything from the beginning...(10,000 +/- posts?...) I felt if I was to "fit in" and make somewhat educated comments, I'd better know what I was dealing with!

Out of the setting sun, an object makes its appearance. The sound is not noticed at first, but as it slowly draws closer, more and more people begin looking up.

An apparition has come to call. Someone’s giant colander, supported by dozens of levitating goose eggs, and roaring like a banshee, sidles in over the low hills.

Now that the engines are loud enough to be an annoyance, there is a noticeable change in their tone, as they are throttled back slightly. The indescribable conveyance drifts closer. As it grows nearer, the scale becomes apparent. Again and again, witnesses adjust their concepts of big.

It floats gently above the center of the lake, gently turning to orient North to North. Again the tone of the engines mutes slightly. It settles closer to the low wave-tops.

From the bottom of the rectangular girders which support it, flotation cushions deploy and fill. Gigantic Mae West puffery elevates a metal skirting around the perimeter walls, forming a walkway and loading dock.

The curious structure dips a fearful toe into the water, appearing to test its warmth. Gradually it immerses itself, the jets slowing ever further as it slowly comes to a stop. A new island, complete with its own cloud cover, has appeared in the middle of the lake.

The jets are silenced. In the sudden hush, one hears a whining, as of distant construction equipment. Very gradually, the tremendous hot air balloons are ingested back into the the tops of the metal towers, like a schoolboy working his bubblegum bubble back into his mouth. The process takes at least half an hour, as the hot air is bled off, and the plasticized fabric balloons are pulled back into their hidden compartments. The jet engines are turned and oriented for stowage, and collapse back into their compartments. Finally all the noises stop, and the stunned inhabitants realize that an adventure has arrived in their midst. Several small boats set out to rendezvous with the castle.

The party continues...

I knew Dead Corpse would get the last post. There was no other realistic possibility.

Wasn't my idea. I wanted cyborg to have it. First on, last off. Others decided they wanted to try and cheese in on it. One of us had to stop their evil plot.

I, for one, am glad you got it, if Cyborg couldn't. You are very good at foiling e-vil plots, and it was SOOO perfect!

Not a hound, one of those warming things that has been crocheted by someone with more patience than me. I've never gotten that knack...it is straight cross stitch for me.

And Lu would love having another dog around, but we like her as an only child.

The sediments in the wine should be allowed to relax for a week or so. But the scotch should be ok and there is still some Margarita mix and tequila left over from last nights hot tub adventure.

Where did sionnsar stash the distillery? And what about Prime VIXEN? Shouldn't she have something left over after last nights' (this mornings') hot tub party?

Jeez, Bah. There's gotta be SOMEthing here to drink...

*checking in fridge for over-looked brews...* Wait...here's a bottle of Old Winyard...(where did THAT come from?...I think I'm in the wrong book...)

I've used it for therapy for years! The more upset I am, the faster I get done! And I always leave at least one mistake uncorrected...lest the item be "perfect".

I couldn't figure any intuitive way to solve it, but clearly one could have only a handful of cows and sheep, and the goats would be simply added in to fill up the numbers.

Just a matter of plugging in some numbers, and seeing which way it went.

Patience and persistence beats intellect, every time.

Of course. I've been worse off before than this. This is nothing as long as I take frequent rest breaks.

I'll be right here seeing in the New Year with my Friends here on FR.... Complete with my own bottle of champaign. See if this cold virus can withstand a solid belt to the chops with an entire bottle of Spumante....

giggling is fine. It's the pointing and the snickering that can make a guy a bit self conscious. Especially if it just happens to be cold outside...

If I point, it's not normally accompanied by snickering, unless the Guy is a dork. I just giggle because everything is funny...;-)
