September Signature Feature: One Hundred Forty-Five Candles by Aditus
By Cia
I felt a bit of a kinship with this story, being as I like food challenge shows, and September happens to be my anniversary with August my birthday... and those often get mixed together due to hunting season, lol. Trust me, the story is FAR better as you learn the reason for all the candles! Length: 1,813 Description: What's better than one reason to celebrate? Two reasons. Victor and Peter will explain in an interview for the cooking blog Stirring the Pot why they decorated the- 0 comments

One of my favorite authors was Mark Twain. Mentioning King Arthur, you've reminded me of Twain's A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. We all had to read Tom Sawyer in elementary school, but my all-time favorite is The Prince and the Pauper. -
We had bookmobiles here as well. They only came twice a school term when I was in Elementary school. I think they stopped after the fifth grade, or that's when we aged out of the program and were expected to use the school's limited Library. I do not remember earlier books, I knew we were expected to read - the classes that read the most books and submitted the most book reports got parties at the end of the year. I was reading at five, mostly little picture books with two or three sentence -

In the third grade I found Howard Pyle's "The Story of King Arthur and His Knights" an almost 500 page book which I read in a week. I became a voracious reader and by 7th grade had to get glasses due to myopia. -
I remember reading a lot of books of Tall Tales and biographies of Lincoln, George Washington Carver, Helen Keller, etc. (all written for younger readers), as well as other juvenile material, but the first books outside of that was "Treasure Island" and then "Kidnapped", both by Robert Louis Stevenson. From then on I was hooked. -

I can't remember the first book I read, nor how old I was, but I used to check out as many books as the library would allow, take them home, and tie a rope around them and hoist them up to a platform I had built in a tree next to the house. My little "reading room" was a haven all summer long. I think what started me on binge-reading was The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. When I learned that there were more in the series (many by other authors who carried on the tradition after Baum's early deat -
Quote by @wildone I remember back in Grade 4, our Language Arts teacher, that's what they called it in elementary and junior high school, not until high school did you call it English, started reading us the Hobbit. I was enthralled It was my favourite time of the day. After having it read to us I had to reread it and own a copy of my own. We lived on an air force base way in the middle of nowhere, so not really a place to find a bookstore. I think we had a library, but I was in elementary and

Quote of @wildone Saturday AM I thought I would see if there was anything interesting on Prime. I haven't been on in a while. After the other week of me saying I haven't finished some of the streaming shows that I have watched past seasons of, I saw that Season 2 of the The Rings of Power was out and streaming. The thing is, it was so long ago that I can't remember the Season 1 happenings Don't worry, @Krista is keep a collection of retirement home pamphlets handy for when it is time for me to

Pebbles can range from the size of a marble to the size of a golf ball. David would have used one about the size of a golf ball when he slew Goliath.

When I was eight-years-old, I had a convulsion due to high fever. Before I was released from the hospital, and even after, I was given electroencephalographs to determine if there was any lingering problems/abnormalities. A unusual and interesting side effect of the electroencephalographs was that I couldn't feel electrical shocks for several years afterward. Since we lived in the country, it meant I could grab ahold of my neighbors electric fence and step over it, but when anyone was w
