  1. Sabbatical kinda over :). We returned from a vacation in Florida. We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge in Orlando and visited Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center, and Downtown Disney. My GD told me that Disney employs approx. 35, 000 people at their various resorts in Orlando. I cannot begin to tell you how awesome and large their Theme Parks are.

     

    Sitting outside on our hotel balcony we had giraffes, zebras, and all kinds of animals and birds (ostrich, etc) walking by. The Theme Parks were just outstanding and everything was so realistic. all of the "tours" were great. Attached is a photo of a part of the lobby of the Animal Kingdom Lodge where we stayed and another photo of the "Tree of Life" taken at Animal Kingdom theme park.

     

    Wow Muggle, what an amazing place to stay. Did you get any photos from your balcony? Just love the 'Tree of Life'. Glad you had such an awesome time :)

  2. Bessie, the barmaid. Bessie was an obliging lass and quite frankly, plenty of frank views were forthcoming.

  3. as his real name was Bertram, Englebert for short, and he couldn't understand why these two rather tottery, unstable on their pins gentlemen, kept referring to him by the term for involuntary spasms and beverages made out of the camellia plant.

  4. Never have I ever SEEN a tarantula let alone killed one! (but I wouldn't kill one if I did, they look cute and kind of cuddly. I've read they are quite gentle but will throw little spikes at you if you make them mad. Is that right?)

     

    Never have I ever been suspended from school.

  5. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

     

    Wonderful enchanting book. The story of Bod, a homeless orphan, brought up by the ghosts in a graveyard, when the rest of his family are murdered. Neil Gaiman at his best, can't recommend this enough.

  6. At least we're not spoiling, just teasing.. ;)

    I know ....you're showing great restraint :D  And thank you, I'm enjoying immensely (although I'm spending quite a bit of time with my eyes tightly closed)

  7. being led by a very bedraggled looking Itsme and Dex. After a riotous night at the Bush and Bull, the pair were staggering home and had somehow acquired a spaniel, by the name of Hiccup, along the way. Dex had actually won it in a game of foosball, but he had absolutely no recollection of the event.  Hiccup had taken an instant liking to the pair and was showing it by ............

  8. Oooooo .....I don't DARE come back to this thread!! I've only read Book One and am just allowing myself to watch the first season on DVD now. There's enough shocks in the first book :icon_eek: 

    Such an amazingly good book/series.
