I like iced coffee and got one at one of the fast-food places where they were running a special. I got into a dispute with them about the number of ounces.

Thanks.

Bill

I think you probably came across my DS's(also a Michelangelo, but called Micah) paintings from kindergarten. I have a box of really cheesy sunsets from his P-k through K period. Then he moved on to pumpkins.

That when you are parked on a sloping beach, and the tide has come up round you to the point where the bonnet is partly underwater, you can easily reverse back up the beach with no problem at all.

Some high school friends and myself went to New York City and saw a Gershwin concert.

My friend's husband loves to bake (counters full of baked products) and will return freshly washed shirts on the hanger with lots of straight pins holding it in place.

Still trying to figure out the one labeled King Tut Coke Cake.

There is a vast toy and hobby shop near me that sells things as diverse as water-guns, acrylic paints and layout for model railways/model depots. Absolutely everything I wanted was in stock and everything was on special offer. It took ages to decide what sort of base-board I needed for my model depot/street scene. As usual I woke up before getting to the checkout.

(The water gun part was because I got a Water Warriors gun at the weekend for mucking about with friends)

There's a huge street festival in New York City.

Its sole purpose is to have people butcher others who want to be killed.

Sometimes they get the ones that don't as well.

Uggh. I seriously haven't had a nightmare like that in a while. It's the last thing I dreamed before I woke up for good yesterday morning. I kept waking and going back to sleep and continuing the dream.

I so want your dream! Mine have been a tad boring lately; mostly work overspilling into the dreamtime.

I always had a thing about Avon and his "sardonic smile" (as the books described it) And just about every teen boy in my social circle had a crush on Servalan/Sleer.

My former neighbor (the man who lives across the street from my childhood home) wants to sell me a Citroën DS. I was leery about buying an old French car at first, because where in the USA would you find parts for one? But I test drove it, and it drove really well. I don't think I ever actually bought it, though. I just kept driving around in it until the dream was over.

I totally forgot what thread I was reading and thought to myself "How could he not know whether he bought a car?!?!"

I was stuck somewhere in Ohio (I saw a map in a subway station), and I couldn't get home because I had no money and no car.

I also looked at some new laces for my hiking boots, but I didn't buy any, probably because I had no money!

I live in a very nice detached house with my mum. She is in her mid-30s. I am my current age. I'm not sure if I was supposed to be a child again, but in the dream I was older than mum.

(I'd been looking at some old family photos)

I've never come across some-one else who's read the books.

Servalan certainly wore some very revealing frocks. Mind you, Jenna was no slouch in the tight clothing dept.

Last night one of the cats (who has been long dead in real life) I had as a child got in a fight with a raccoon. I got bitten by the raccoon while trying to break up the fight, and had to go the the ER and get a rabies shot. After I returned home I had to chase an entire family of raccoons away from the cats' food dish in the shed behind my childhood home by making lots of noise and banging two metal garbage can lids together. They all ran away, but were all carrying huge armloads of cat food as they left.

This is especially funny because there are no subways in Ohio.
