    Now that we are confident of Grangers' return, I will start from where I stopped reading, at chapter 27. For the rest of you I have a suggestion or two to fill in the time. GA remains my favorite site(home). However two stories I have found may appeal to some of you fellow followers of our charming Captain. http://iomfats.org/storyshelf/hosted/solsticeman/a-royal-achievement/01.html http://www.castleroland.net/library/chapter/arthur/db/db_001 sandrewn (I hope you find them as enjoyable as I have)

    No, I haven't lost my marbles! This post is all about Marbles. Why, you ask? Why not, is my answer.

It's only been 57 some odd years since I last used them)

    Bill W and Myr, I did not realize how significant your wishes of 'Godspeed' were until a few minutes ago. ' Godspeed, John Glenn ' The same words sent him into orbit in 1962 sandrewn Final mission (Kirk: Second star to the right and straight on till morning.)

    It is not very often I come across a picture that captures my heart as this one has. Plus I didn't know where to post it. Not that many members visit this thread, but I chose here because as long as I am a member of GA this thread will remain active and this picture will remain available to any who would like to see it.

    I came across this and felt I had to warn glitteryantlers of a possible pretender to her throne. Though it doesn't really look like anything to be seriously worried about. But forewarned is to be forearmed and always ever vigilant. sandrewn (a loyal palace guard)

    Up until his flight my dream was to be a Mounty(R.C.M.P.). After watching him blast off into orbit in 1962 at the age of nine, becoming an astronaut was added as an either/or to my list of one. I just checked my dust covered stamp collection, not touched in forty plus years. My pair of unused Mercury (1962) 4 cent stamps are just as I remember them. He was the last of the Mercury 7. The first to go up in to orbit, the last of his peers to leave us. I think he was my first hero and he never let me down. http://www.space.com/34964-watch-john-glenn-s-historic-friendship-7-launch-video.html Rest In Peace, John Glenn "Fair Winds and Following Seas" Semper Fi sandrewn

    Every winter we all have to relearn how to drive on snow and ice. Montrealers are no exception. Sometimes though it is just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Add black ice to the mix and presto. Watch both videos in the article that follows, I can so relate to what is happening to every one involved. http://globalnews.ca/news/3107028/montreal-winter-weather-pile-up-bus-car-police/?sf44927425=1 Been there, done that sandrewn (don't you just love winter)

    So my question to you is. Are the people who create these, extremely talented? Or just have nothing better to do with their time? sandrewn ( I voted for extremely talented)

    The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but up until this thread, I had never heard of Caecilians. So here is a quick 101(basic course) on them. http://animals.about.com/od/caecilians/p/caecilians.htm sandrewn (fascinating)

    Mark, I have said nothing since you started this thread. Do not take my silence as indifference to your circumstances. Know that I do care (I really do). As one of your main cheerleaders, I remain on the sidelines, always ready and waiting. Till the time out is over and the game resumes. Best wishes sandrewn

    I know life goes on and that nothing lasts for ever. It does not make me feel any better, knowing that. I will miss the site. When an author I follow passes like Ghost Rider, Walker or Sanchez, I feel bad because through their stories they became my friends and I will truly miss them. When a site goes down, it is as if a plane crashed and all the passengers were writers. Many of whom were friends. Hopefully the survivors will recover and not be afraid to fly once more. sandrewn (time marches on)
