I had a friend (she moved away and we lost touch) who had two little brothers, and the babies of the family were triplet girls! They were sooo adorable! And, I was one of the few people besides family who could tell them apart

I agree! Especially if they're nice and new, with a wonderful design/sketch on the cover with nice writing paper that makes you feel so inspired even when you're not.

That's how my epic series started-I saw a notebook at the store and bought it because it looked cool. Then, I sat down and started writing... and look what came out!

Perhaps I'm a long-lost cousin-dred (many times numbered) spirit.

(I'm gonna be a smart aleck for a minute) Technically, we're all cousins, whether distant or closely related because we all have Adam and Eve as a mother and father.

I wasn't thinking that many numbers.

YA KNOW WHAT? Lol! Whatevers!

Someone should form a League of Notebook Wielders.... * grins * * imagines *



* bows to penguins * Thankyou very much.



* curious * Do they live where you live? I only saw them in TX.



* laughs *

I can't remember...



* laughs for a very long time * * laughs some more *

* stern face * You are disturbing my typing.

hahaha!!!

You don't need a someone. You could do it just as well.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Lady Juliet! (Boy, it feels odd to be welcoming a council member ...)


No need to go back that far; Noah will suffice ...

I always think of that too.

Yes, they live all throughout the United States, though they are more common in some places. They're one of the cutest kinds of spiders.

Yes! Jumping spiders are awesome!...and cute.

We have some here in Wisconsin too. And I do NOT think they are cute !

Cute spiders? I didn't know such a thing existed! *Does not like spiders*

Venomous spiders are interesting to learn about, as are all species of tarantula. To me, at least. And, I would be brave enough to handle a tarantula But not a black widow or brown recluse, or even a grass spider-if they're big, you can keep track of them and they can't hide in your clothes!

Hmmm... * thoughtful * I don't have time, though.



It feels odd to me too... * wry smile *

Jumping spiders are really nice looking...and they have good eyesight for a spider too. I discovered that. I guessed it is because they need to see where they are going to jump to.

I saw a tarantula in TX, too. * grins * That was cool.

Yes, that would be cool.

I don't chase spiders, however, I do like to watch them (esp. the big ones) and look at their webs and stuff. I do chase snakes, though. I saw a big one sunning itself on the road once (weird and very rare for my busy, people-filled area) and I chased it to get a closer look, but it ran away I chase lizards, too, but I can never catch them. lol!

That would be epic.


*wipes grin off face* My apologies.

We saw the tarantula at church, and one of the guys from the church was playing with it. It was fun watching him. Hus fiance was begging him to stop though... * laughs *



* grins * My brothers and I used to catch snakes all the time when we lived in WA, and we would keep them in big jugs and watch them. Try and make 'em fight too, sometimes... Poor things.

There weren't so many lizards, though, just salamanders and newts. I loved the salamanders...they were so wriggly and they never stopped running.

I just remembered I never told Who-ever-it-was (names on a fantasy forum are so odd... ) how old my Twin sisters are.... * sorry face * They're 7 right now.



* glances at grin on your hand and frowns stubbornly *

A Council member against grinning? I better go pack my bags...

*Laughs* You guys are very amusing.

That they are.

Salamanders are so cool! I've seen them around when I'm backpacking mostly, it's so much fun to watch them swimming in the lakes, they look like little alligators... *has idea for another mini-fauna creature for his world*

* coughs * I'm not against grinning. It was just that particular grin, on that particular person's hand, at this particular time, in this particular place, in these particular circumstances, that made me want to – eh – * coughs * ...laugh. * shakes head slowly, frowning * And that was what he was supposed to stop doing!

"A cheerful heart is good medicine" Proverbs somewhere

I'm going to pretend to be an editor and tell you that you spelled particular wrong. Unless you meant to for some joke I didn't catch.

*hides grinning hand behind his back*


It wasn't me this time!

*is imagining a grinning hand* Now THAT is the stuff of nightmares! *shudders*

*glances at hand* Now that you mention it...

Sounds like a nightmare scene someone could use in their story... Reminds me of the walking glove from Yellow Submarine

Oi. That is creepy, now that you think about it. *Hands Mark a handkerchief to wipe it off*

You can't just wipe off a mouth!

And imagine how creepy his face looks now without a mouth...

He's still got a mouth, just not a grin.

Well, what's a grin without a mouth?

Uh...a grin is an action, an expression, so you can't really wipe it off on your hand except on forums or in fantasy worlds.

But you can't think of a grin without thinking of a mouth grinning...

Yes you can, go climb to the top of a mountain, sit on a bed of nails for 675 hours and think on it, you'll see.

But as that is rather impossible...

*Laughs at all the things she missed out on yesterday* You guys can be so funny sometimes!

I beg your pardon... SOMETIMES?!

Have any of you ever heard of those giant Asian cave salamanders? Those are inherently inspiring for any fantasy writer...they are such thrillingly weird and horrible looking creatures.



* coughs * I did not spell it wrong. I never spell things wrong. I always spell things exactly how I mean to.

Sorry, I just watched LotR....

Anyway, no I meant it that way because I said it that way. In my head. I usually spell things the way I say them. And no, it's not a joke unless someone laughed. Then it is. (And I laughed...so I guess it is.)



* raises eyebrow * Wasn't it? How wasn't it?

Ah, makes sense.

*sighs * I had grand plans of posting a big birthday thread for you, like I did last year, but... my computer doesn't like me. Oh well, out with the old, in with the new. Let's hope my relationship with the new computer goes better.

Happy Birthday, Juliet, and welcome, officially, to the forum. You know I am always around if you need help or would like someone to talk to about things.

Wait-IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dances around with a glittery penguin*

I like them. I've seen hellbenders in the wild, and they're a "little" cousin of the giant Asian salamanders (two feet long instead of four feet long.)

Those are so cool! I looked them up on google images.

*opens mouth; closes mouth; opens mouth; closes mouth*

You have a point...
