Wow... that Was beautiful. Laura, my heart goes out to you. Warm thoughts be with you and your family.

Ahhh..... and it is, again.... October..... just past 10-13..... the night birds are calling, the candles are burning.... It is almost time for the *Curse*!

THREE movies???? There was the 1998 movie, "Fight The Future", and "I Want to Believe".... 10 years later in 2008. I am unaware of a 3rd X Files movie, however. I must admit to being hooked on Criminal Minds as my "need Millennium" fix.... and even MORE hooked on Dr. Spencer Reid!

Wow.... bask in those UpBeat VIBES! this is why I'd like to be sitting on the front porch of MY home..... (which is "pending" for lack of a more upbeat term.. haha), smoking and drinking Rum mixed with Pineapple soda when the end comes! aaaaand, this is why the idea of buying stocks and bonds has always seemed rather pointless to me.

That's always been my thinking! And, it seems "Blue Boy" also is in the spirit of things! I can certainly use a bit of levity, after this past week!

LOL! Thanks! I needed that!

(I'm so glad the Pirate thing's catching on!)

Wow. It's sad, but you did hit the nail right on the head.

Well, this is why it's my goal to be OUT of this house, with these people who are making me crazier by the day..... and be, once again, on my OWN front porch somewhere else, where I'm free to smoke if I so choose..... and, if we're planning a Last Meal....? Terry's fab. BBQ ribs, BBQ potato chips, and I'm making a batch of my homemade fudge, and my holiday cookies!!!! Oh, and don't forget.... Drinks all around!!!!

Is it time for "smoke 'em if ya got 'em?"

Yeah, that was my thought, too. And, Terry and I both said HOW???? It's not like it's a LONG book, like LOTR! But, as Randee points out, it's all about the $$$, and, as we're discussing in another thread, there are so few ORIGIONAL ideas out there anymore..... The trend is to go with what's worked in the past, and squeeze that idea till it squeels for mercy!

Seriously, Libby. I'm more disgusted by the year. Pretty much the only movies I go to see anymore are ones that Johnny Depp's in! Pirate's movies and Dark Shadows. Re-hashes, yes, but at least when they were NEW, they were origional ideas! I'd never have a chance of getting my story (being written as a book) made into a movie, because no one is willing to take a chance on anything Creative and Origional anymore! (I think we all got spoiled by Millennium..... lol)

1st off, I echo the sentament of what a senseless tragedy this is..... What I don't understand is..... The man who has been charged with the murders walked into a nearby police station shortly afterwards. Why???

I'd like to think there'd be some revolutionary event later this year. Things are certainly not working as they stand now. (understatement of the Millennium) But, (and I hate to sound like a combination of the little girl from Miricle on 34th street and Jose Chung)... but I'm afraid that even after all this buildup to the last days before Christmas this year.... we may feel quite foolish to wake up to still the same old crap.

Good point!!! Your post also made me think of an old Native American belief... that if you are bitten by an animal, and survived, that you then are bestowed with the Power of that animal. It becomes your "Totem". So, in this way, Frank is "baptized" by the evil energy that had been manifesting.

I dunno. I kinda lean more towards "Replaced". They were more like Energy beings to me, in a way, so I just kinda felt that another one popped into existance.... but then, that does sound rather silly, doesn't it? but, then there is the line "There will always be ANOTHER dog", indicating the idea that the dead dog is replaced, not brougt back to life, to keep the balance in line. but, who knows?

yep. seriously.

I remember first being introduced to this concept on The X Files - "Kill Switch". And think of how many parts of science fiction have become science FACT over the last hundred years? Cloans, communicators (cell phones), lasers, space ships, robots...... Hell, there are things that are, I think, pretty close to "Tri-corders". (for Trekie's who know)

not so much anymore. that's why seeing that people actually liked this is such a surprise.

Thanks! seriously, you guys are so encouraging, you make me want to do another one! LOL

Oh, WOW, you guys! I was so nervous about this, as it's literally the FIRST bit of writing I've done since we lost the house. Matt has been VERY patient and supportive, and I'd hoped I'd managed to do something that was professional enough for him. Sad as it sounds, it took me 2 hours to type that out! LOL! I'm either too old, too stressed, or both! So, it's great to hear my friends saying they liked it! Wow. You make me want to do another episode!

Has anyone herd an update on the "Bat Flu"? The one that was posed to wipe out at least one species of bat? "White Nose"?

Seriously! (in response to what "Walkabout" just said. Thanks for sharing, Libby!

pretty scarry.... lovely picture, though!

Starting to feel like home here again!!! Let's bring back more members!!!!!
