I'm looking forward to seeing that! (Of course, there's also the guy who designed a theoretically buildable method for time travel which would actually work mathematically--I think you can only go forward though.)

I am a spiritual being in the midst of a human experience. I think we all are.

Thanks, Ad. :) I wish I could take credit for it. A friend of mine explained that and a lot of other stuff to me, including the zone. You know, it's something I've always known. I just never understood it until then.

Sorry you two... you can't both be Spartacus. First, because I know what you both really look and sound like. Second, there's not enough room in London for two Spartacuses, let alone room on the Chiff Board!

As for me.....

I AM A ROCK! I AM AN IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiIIIIIISLAND!

Okay, kidding. But scottielvr took the Emily Dickinson poem, and with Jerry's mentioning of "I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told" thing, Simon and Garfunkel tunes were brought to mind and, well..... :D


So seriously. Can someone actually define themselves by one thing? Wouldn't that be a little boring? I'm not as deep thinking and philisophical as some of the folks around here are on this. I is who I is. As for now I would sum that up in a variety of ways. (Subject to changes/additions within the next 60 or so years of my hoped for lifespan). In random order... a wife, a mother, a daughter, a grand-daughter, an actively practicing, deep wide member of my faith. A non-republican conservative. A writer, a quilter, a good cook. A wishful, joyful, almost musican. A genealogist. An English, Swedish, Norweigen, German, French, Dutch, Scottish, and some of who knows what.... deeply rooted American. A recovering pack-rat. An acrophopic. A music loving shower singer. A Shelley Russet. An Idaho country farmer gal lost in suburban Utah. A collector of ocean sands and a land-bound lover of the sea. A hopeful optimistic realist. A person who thinks too much..... :P

Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.................

I'm tired.....

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Ok. I'm not even going to change that last post. Too weird.

:lol: Okay, that is bizzare! You are just both on the same wave length today. As for Spartaci verses Spartacuses (or perhaps Spartacus'), as a person who likes to write, I should know that but I don't. Guess if you two came up with "Spartaci" one right after the other, there must be something to it.

:D Sara
