The DO don't they! Except I think Ross did a better job in the first one. In this one he has the shadows so Jimmy's head looks like it's not quite connected to his body and it's not very flattering to his jowls...if it weren't for that it would be a pretty cool pic. I LOVE the ones of him sitting on his guitar case!!

Yeah, that really IS cool!

Apologies ladies if these have already been posted! I checked the Ross thread but for reasons unknown to me it is locked Anyway, if you haven't seen these...enjoy! They are incredible!! Love, Light, and Peace!

Nice pic. It's very difficult to see the cross. Is it just an equal armed cross or does it have what is now commonly refered to as a swasitka on it? It's a shame that that symbol is now associated with such tragedy.

Sweet venue!!

Many, many congratulations!! You are going to be an AWESOME teacher!! Sending you best wishes for a fast and successful job search. Someday you'll look back on these lean times with fondness, you'll remember the sense of accomplishment and the excitment of not knowing exactly what lies in your future. Love and Light to you Manderlyh

I still get laughed at when talking about the Boston basketball team. It's just so natural to say the Boston Keltics....Seltic? What's a Seltic?! LOL!

Hey Tang! How are ya?! If we hop a plane we're leaving for a tropical island...pack light - your sarong, swimsuit, and flip flops are all that's required!

Nice thread! To all the winter haters...here's the good part. Tomorrow the days begin to grow longer and it won't be long until it is the springtime of the season again. Blessed Be....

Wasn't it amazing?! Saw it from NJ...clear sky, not a star to be seen but the sliver of moon and Venus blazing brilliantly while Saturn was just above it. Tonight they were visable also but last night was the most amazing because of the proximity to the moon. I was mesmerized....

Oh Honey, what you are sharing with all of us here is you unfolding out of your cocoon and blooming into the beautiful butterfly you were always meant to be. I'm so touched that you have shared this story with us. We probably talk to people every day who have been through similar tragedies and we aren't even aware of it. We can be blissfully unaware because so many victims do exactly what your mom would have liked you to do....brush it under the rug. But it seems that what many of us don't understand is that it isn't dust that you can just get rid of, it's now become part of your essence, who you are, and how you view life. I am so proud of you for making it to this point in your recovery and I just know you will go even further! You are such a caring individual, maybe someday you will work in a field that counsels victims of aggression and abuse. Plus, you are tearing down the walls that are the stigma to these types of crimes. If someone pushed you down on the sidewalk and kicked you in the stomach everyone would be enraged! And you would tell people about it with indignation, not shame! Our culture has made sexual assault something 'dirty'....and it is a shame that the victim is made to feel like THEY are the dirty ones! Oh Honey, keep your head proud and keep seeing your therapist. You have come so far! You have soooo much to be proud of!! It's people like you who can share their stories that will change the way other people view and deal with these situations. And one day, the world will be a better place. Many Hugs to you....Love, Light and Blessings....Medhb

Love it! And actually believe it might not be far from the truth. I suspect that if McCain 'wins' this election that the National Guard better be prepared...just sayin. Gee, I have never had to wait long at all! I live in a small suburb so hopefully I get through the line fast. I'm going before work and don't want to be TOO late!

I think a lot of people feel that way Suz. This isn't any ordinary election. I feel that this election will shape our future, it can make or break us. I haven't seen people so excited and edgy for an election in all the time I've been voting! I'll bet the turnout breaks records....we'll see

Actually I admire that Rock. Good for you!

I'll be joining that celebration!! Tuesday morning I'm hitting the polls, dinner with friends after work, then quick dash home to glue ourselves to the telly

GREAT pics Meg, Sheesh, look at that line up for labor Day. What I'd give to see that show!

Yeah, what a cutie! And a talented musician also! Tres' cool

They are pretty docron...and they clearly show a glimpse of the mad scientist living inside

Thanks for the info Alison! I'm going to get the book anyway since I am an admirerer of his works. Ah, that sux you missed the rooms due to renovations. Hopefully, you'll get another chance to visit. Much more difficult for me across the pond. Yes! I've seen some of his silver works and they are incredible! He was certainly multi-talented. I'll have to see if I can check out some of his furniture designs, I'm sure they are masterpieces as well.

Ahh! Thanks for the clarification! That would explain why it's less ornate than the other photos you posted of Tower House. I believe Burges saved his best work for his own home

That must have been a tad nerve wracking for him to hand over I wonder if he has #1 insured? After all it's priceless. Could you tell us for how much it's insured SAJ?

Very cool! Sounds like you could post some interesting stuff on the 'Things about me' thread!
