My dad went to the house and found him and brought him in. Crazy dog ran right to him after he called for him once. Now I see where I rate on the dog love scale. (Dad does bring him a treat on every visit so that is good programming)

That's great news Wolfy!!

YAY! Glad he's home!

Its Christmas Eve and I am not done shopping is going to kill me.

Went to the grocery store last night around 9PM and THERE WERE NO CROWDS!!...loved it!

Crowds kill me.

I also hate crowds, and people in general. That is why I plan to retire to Japan and become a shut-in for the final years of life. Japanese TV shows will not kill you, expect from laughter.

That's beause they closed at 9, but noooooo, they had to wait till that last minute shopper finished.

Very funny, but nope....they're open 24 hours.

Yeah, but not in a row.

Ha!....well, actually, this grocery store chain DOES close on Christmas and Easter, but that's the ONLY time they close.

So is this thread going to survive into 2015? Some contagious random thoughts in the Random Thoughts thread causes one to wonder...








^^That bit was in this thread. Actually, my response is shown about 3 posts after Okie's Dec. 28 remarks.-CYM




I don't think I'm a troll. I mean, sure, I could be, without knowing it. I'm actuallly engaged in some self-examination/reflection to see if my deep, inner motivations might somehow mean I am a troll. But I think based on the uber-trustworthy wiki definition of "troll"...

"In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, [1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

...the term could more readily be applied to posters who wish to kill a discussion by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages with the deliberate intent of disrupting discussion, yes?

Trolls can kill you. Not internet trolls, the kind that live under bridges.

Yes...like in Three Billy Goats Gruff...those Trolls could kill you!

Isn't there a big concrete troll in Seattle? I bet that's pretty cool.

Oh gosh the trolls in Sequim, WA at Bandy's Troll Haven are so cool. If you're ever in the Pacific NW a trip up Hwy 101 is so neat and the trolls are awesome.

Can we just say that nearly everything in a German fairy tale can kill you? I mean child-eating wolves, witches and trolls. Geez those are some dangerous stories.

The original (non-Disney-fied) fairy tales are horrifying. I think they must have been meant as "frighten the kids into behaving" stories moreso than bedtime stories.

Most cultures have some kind of 'fairy stories' with various monsters, ghosts, goblins, etc... and they're all pretty scary!

Fremont Troll on Troll Avenue North



Very cool place and cool houses. It's like a fairy tale.

This thread still makes me happy.

I would like to see this fairy tale place called Sequim!

I have gargoyles strategically placed around my house and gardens. They make me happy.

The closest place I've been to walking straight into a fairy tale was Marie Antoinette's country "home" in France (I think). It was unreal! Thatched roofs, fish in the pond you could almost hear talking...just a really cool place.

Did the talking fish have fregging laser beams on their heads that could kill people?

I like laser beams ^_^

No...they were nice fish.

I think the kids at daycare are trying to kill us. They are currently waging germ warfare.

Deflated footballs.

One eyed, one horned flying purple people eaters will kill us.
