    Best day of the year!

    Hi, just wanted to post my annual check-in and celebrate the best day of my year: The day when Steve is first sighted after a long (and unusually crazy) Vegas winter!!! Huge and eternal thanks to everyone on here who helped out so much in Steve's first years. Without this forum, and the...

    Game of Thrones anyone? (may contain spoilers)

    Or maybe the leader of the white walkers is frosty and it's all some strange revenge trip about humans enslaving his people and making them all wear carrot noses and corn cob pipes. Either way winter is coming...

    Game of Thrones anyone? (may contain spoilers)

    Do we know yet if book 6 will be out before season 6? I almost want to wait for the book. I love watching what I've read come to life on the screen, but if I've already seen the show, I feel like it's going to make the book more of a chore to get through? I know this will be the last book/season...

    Crowkay Jacqui, this is just getting hawkward. Let's keep the comments nice and pheasant. Yvonne's' a very stweet lady and I'm sure she dovesn't want to see a bunch of bad bird puns wrenever she logs back on. I'd hate to ruffle her feathers. Plus I think we're starting to look like a couple of...

    Sounds to me like you already have a 4 legged solution to your problem, but if you do that, someone might suspect "fowl" play. Maybe you can chirp back at it so it knows that "toucan" play at that game? The annoyance sounds like more than any one person should be expected to "swallow". But in...

    BAD drivers

    In Vegas, the drivers are horrible. Tons of elderly gamblers and drunk tourists. Not to mention all the super cars driven by guys who couldn't handle a Toyota Corolla and the housewives in Suburbans and Escalades who couldn't park a fiat 500 within the lines. And don't get me started on going...

    favorite scary movie?

    Scariest movie I ever saw was Casino. And before anybody says that's not a scary movie, I'll explain why. I've never had a nightmare about a clown or a ghost or a demon or anything I never believed in. But I heard the sounds of those aluminum baseball bats connecting with Joe Pesci and his...

    free enclosure design programs

    Only thing I can think of is Google Sketchup (http://www.sketchup.com/). It is a free 3d modeling/rendering program that I've used to design people enclosures (houses), so I imagine it would work just as well for tortoise ones. In fact, I actually used it to show my wife exactly what I wanted to...

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    Right? I'm so psyched that it comes with a Greedo figure (possibly the most awesome figure I've seen) and 3 members of bith band! The Dewback is just icing on a very nerdy cake. I told her mom, she'll be receiving the set for sure, but I can't guarantee it won't already be assembled and well...

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    So our 7yo goddaughter is currently watching the original trilogy for the first time and she's hooked (so proud). She's aIso a die-hard Lego girl. Soooooo, I got this for her for Xmas...

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    Love it! One of the first truly classic moments of comedy in the trilogy! Not many people give Harrison Ford enough props for being a really funny guy when he wants to be. You always think action with him, but the trilogy and Indiana Jones all had some really funny moments.

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    Yeah, see, Kit Fisto, and Nautolans in general, always seemed soft to me for some reason (I know he was a legit jedi, but he looks soft), Plo Koon, on the other hand looks mean enough to eat your dog.

    I had a beef flavor cup of noodles for lunch because I haven't been able to break away from my desk at all today :oops: (yet I find time to post on here...)

    This made me laugh (maybe a photo or 2 for @Prairie Mom to use for the month of Star Wars avatars). https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/hilarious-photo-series-shows-darth-vader-daily-life-222521050.html

    StarWars: The Force Awakens

    Speaking of Walt and his empire, have you ever seen the documentary titled: "The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story"? It's super good, it's all about the brothers who did all the music for Disney back in the beginning.
