  1. I should have asked about how the q&A works before I went to my first one. I did not know we were allowed to save them for help later on. Do you download them or what?
  2. Where is this List of contents of the Q&As?
  3. R = Redrum: a word made popular by the movie “The Shining,” which is “murder” spelled backwards.
  4. J = Jock-o’-lantern: a pumpkin carved to look like a sports figure or athlete, often seen in Halloween decorations.
  5. It is surprising how some folks act during times of deep sadness. When mom was in the hospital, she shared a room with a woman she knew in passing at stores etc. They both delivered their babies within a minute or two of each other. Robert was the lady's son and I Dorothy arrived on the scene. So, Robert and I in time passing shared the same school's name but in different states. Roberts family soon bought a beach cottage a half block from ours. We shared a 13th birthday party as Robert and I had become good playmates and were good friends. That winter Robert fell off the back of his dad's truck, hit his head and was pronounced dead. We attended his funeral. Two weeks later they sold their business, house and beach cottage and just left. Her husband later wrote my Mom . "She could not bear to see me still alive and her son gone".
  6. E = Enchantment: a magical spell or charm
  7. Genealogy Speaking we can go back to John Donne (1571 or 1572 – 31 March 1631) who was an English poet, scholar, soldier and secretary born into a recusant family, who later became a cleric in the Church of England.[2] Under royal patronage, he was made Dean of St Paul's Cathedral in London (1621–1631).[1] He is considered the preeminent representative of the metaphysical poets. His poetical works are noted for their metaphorical and sensual style and include sonnets, love poems, religious poems, Latin translations, epigrams, elegies, songs and satires. He is also known for his sermons. My favorite quote of his is ""No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent." We dropped the e off our last name when arriving in the new world seeking religious freedom before the American revolution.
  8. I just found the very first image I ever made as a card for family who could not be at the table that year so long ago. So to ya'lll who live in both great nations. I am thankful to know ya'll here on Campus.
  9. Totally Right and the more fun the happier I be.
  10. P= Phantom Young Kit Walker finds himself recruited by a secret organization, unveiling a heritage he never could have dreamed possible. Revered as the twenty-second "ghost who walks," he must now uphold and honor his ancestors' creed - to fight crime and injustice throughout the world.
  11. Great minds must think alike. The second image was a freebee from Tiny Turtle Designs and the green sunglass wearing scarecrow is from a screenshot of a VRML model I made.
  12. My Day 7 - Needless to say , Mom carried me out on the steel pier a few times when we were living in New York and Philadelphia back in my baby days. Post card of boardwalk & Steel Pier entrance.
  13. My Page 6. Amazing the difference in Myrtle Beach from the 1950's to today.
  14. My Page 05 Our 36 ft cabin cruiser was in the slip next to a catamaran that was retired from picking up downed flyers during WW2. The wind tossed that catamaran clear across the harbor onto the shore about 300 feet from the water. We were lucky about our boat that time.
  15. This is my day 4 Part A . I forgot to mention the top photo was of our community center in Cedarhurst Maryland. Our house is a block away and we had Chesapeake Bay slapping against the walls of our place.
