Cup holder

[Aulruna]

Oops, didn't see it ... so, moving over the breakfast trays:

Good morning and happy New Year, everyone! May I offer you a typical Bavarian breakfast with white sausage (Weißwürste), soft pretzels (Brezn), yeast beer (Weißbier) and sweet mustard (süßer Senf)?

http://www.campusseite.de/wp-content/weisswurst.jpg

[Aulruna]

And here is one of my favourite train stations in Germany, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Uelzen in Lower Saxony:

That looks good, but I will have to pass on the beer, since I am at work. Can I have more sausages instead?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Happy New Yaer everyone! Some Weiswurst Sientara? Would you like some Sauerkraut also?

[Sientara]

Happy New Yaer everyone! Some Weiswurst Sientara? Would you like some Sauerkraut also?

I will pass on the Sauerkraut.

I just did my daily draw, What do I need to keep in mind today?, and I was highly amused to pull the 6 of Pentacles. It seems especially appropriate today.

[The crowned one]

I'll take it all! lol And that is before I head to work! Oh, and through in a coffee too!

Guten morgen jeder! Lassen Sie uns eine wundervolle Zugfahrt haben! :D

When I was about 16 I could speak German about as well a kindergarden child :D

[Stormdancer]

~~~WAVES~~~

Good Morning and Happy 2010 to you as well, Aulruna!!

You folks get to eat soft PRETZELS:bugeyed:...AND...BEER :bugeyed::bugeyed: for breakfast???

YUMMM!!

I feel some German blood rushing to the surface...or maybe it's rushing to my stomach :D

**Plops skinny twiggy self down contentedly**

How VERY generous of you!

[The crowned one]

Sientara, do you know what time you leave the station from where you are? I think it would be 11.am your time but somebody can double check that...I have to slam a coffee and head to the hospital.

[Sientara]

Sientara, do you know what time you leave the station from where you are? I think it would be 11.am your time but somebody can double check that...I have to slam a coffee and head to the hospital.

I checked that last night. :) It is 11 am. I have pre-written the post, so all I have to do is cut and paste. :D

Odd, I am already at the hospital. :D

[PathWalker]

It's afternoon here, so we are having freshly brewed coffee, and German biscuits - bought by my beloved before the holidays in the delicatesen(sp?) but most appropriate now. Plenty for all, do share :)

[yirabeth]

Hello everyone!

This is my first train ride, and I'm looking forward to it! I don't know if I'll sit back and watch, mostly, or join in -- because I don't know how these things go. But it's gonna be fun and educational!

I'm one of those that can't contemplate food early in the morning, so I'm having a nice cup of warm tea with lemon in :)

Could someone who has done these before, and doesn't mind answering stupid questions, and isn't first on the list PM me? I don't want to clutter up the thread with my silliness :)

~Yira

[Aulruna]

Yummy!! You got Bahlsen - one of my favourite brands!!! They also make fantastic vanilla/hazelnuts crescents (Kipferl) and nougat wafers.

I will gain a ton on this train :bugeyed:

[Jesii]

Hi, i would like to sign up for the slow moving train please, can i do that here or should i go to the other thread? it will save me and my mum arguing over the packs we get =]

Jesii
x.x.x

[Sientara]

One hour to go! I'm getting excited!

[Wendywu]

Rushes in, grabs a plate of breakfast (even though it's coming up for dinner time), drools and finds a corner seat .....

Wahey - Train :party: :royal: :laugh:

[franniee]

I just remembered there is a train today! Ha!!

Happy New year everyone!! :heart:

[Queen of Disks]

*drags heavy luggage aboard and sits down*

Hello every one! Happy New Year!

[franniee]

I didn't know Arkansas is an hour earlier than NY - I have to go find arkansas again. :D

[quintessence]

Hello everyone. Couldn't find streusel, so heated up some apple pie. Got the hot coffee -- still looking for the caramel schnapps. I have noon here, is the train moving?

[Sientara]

I didn't know Arkansas is an hour earlier than NY - I have to go find arkansas again. :D

It is between Missouri and Louisiana if it helps. :D

I have a non-smoking household and currently no pets (avatar is my mom’s cat Lucy).

All decks are in good condition and opened, unless otherwise stated. I will also include a crocheted tarot bag as well. (I have tan, orange, blue, purple, gray, black/gray/cream multi, brown/aqua multi, and blue/white multi yarn if you want to make a request.)

[Aulruna]

*snatching some pie & coffee*

I correct myself: I will gain TWO tons on this train!

[SilentBreeze]

I woke up just in time for the start of the train. Hm, very tempting decks, and so early in the game.

[quintessence]

*snatching some pie & coffee*

I correct myself: I will gain TWO tons on this train!

Just more to love, and to stay warmer when the train climbs into the mountains.

[PathWalker]

Nice decks, what a super start to the ride :)
Pass the apple pie!

[Stormdancer]

WOW :bugeyed:

You have some nice offerings up Sientara!

[SilentBreeze]

I don't think I was ever added to the list...

[Sientara]

WOW :bugeyed:

You have some nice offerings up Sientara!

I am blessed or cursed to be in an tarot light area. I have found 2 Victorian Romantics on the shelf at regular price and bought them both. I thought I'd offer to pass one on.

[Wendywu]

Extremely juicy list there Sientara - I even wavered for a moment there despite having told myself ages ago that I didn't need a Victorian Romantic. It's sooo not me :) But whoa - great beginning for our train :D


Ooooh - pie!! Is there cream??

[franniee]

I don't think I was ever added to the list...


PM TCO and he will add you Silent Breeze - he has some spots waiting for hop ons. :)

[Sientara]

The VR is on at least 2 participant's wishlists. I peeked. :D

[Stormdancer]

I don't think I was ever added to the list...

I think TCO went to work, so will probably take care of it later???

[NorthernTigress]

Running beside the tracks. *pant pant pant*

Jumps onto the train.

I'm here!

[Jesii]

I love your deck selection...so cool! i got the dream enchantress of the last train and absolutly love it =)

I'm not on the list but TCO's status is offline so i PM'd him and will wait and see

Me want apple pie and ice cream please

Jesii

[cardlady22]

Mmmmm. Pretzels! What a lovely smell to wake up to this morning!
*rummages in her backpack for a jar of cheese spread*

Excellent choices for your list, Sientara!

Did everyone :party: Party Hearty :party: last night? We had a lovely free fireworks show with all the neighbors who brought in illegal high-flying pretties! }) And we've had the most soothing gentle rain come through to prevent any worry of fires. :grin:

[Stormdancer]

Running beside the tracks. *pant pant pant*

Jumps onto the train.

I'm here!

PHEW!!! That was CLOSE!! Good thing you are TIGRESS and can make those leaps :D

Do Tigress' eat pretzels and beer? It was YUMMY!

[Wendywu]

Mmmmm. Pretzels! What a lovely smell to wake up to this morning! *rummages in her backpack for a jar of cheese spread* :grin:

How come you managed to bring cheese spread? I only brought chocolate and wine ......

[cardlady22]

How come you managed to bring cheese spread? I only brought chocolate and wine ......I have a major aversion to mustard, which I knew would be plentiful. :P My aunt & uncle were stationed in Germany when my cousin was born, so we always tried to go to Oktoberfest/Busch Gardens Old Country things when they were stateside. I love the smells of German restaurants, but am pickier about the flavors.

ETA: Yira, did you have a PM exchange yet?

[yirabeth]

Indeed I did, thanks for asking :) I think it cleared up my last "pressing" question... the rest I'll just absorb as I ride along!

~Yira

[Dusk Till Dawn]

What a nice Deck selection! I brought a New Years Pretzel along the ride...

[cardlady22]

I've got these Gummi Cherries (http://www.find-a-sweetheart.com/images/uploads/gummi_cherries.jpg) in my backpack too!

[franniee]

What did everyone do to ring in the new year?

We had a nice dinner and played a game called enchanted forest - it was fun - different and then we watched The Blind Side. Good movie! It was quiet but nice.

How about you guys?

[NorthernTigress]

I'm half German, and I still crave the food sometimes. Some of the favorites in our family (authenticity may vary) include:

wieners and sauerkraut, often served with mashed potatoes.

beef and cabbage in a pastry shell

a "meatloaf" made of a mixture of ground beef and shredded potato

cabbage fried in lots of butter (it has to be real butter, or don't bother)

Strangely enough, being a Canadian of German heritage, I don't like beer.

[cardlady22]

We watched Murder 101 with Dick van Dyke. Then hubby & kids took turns playing Guitar Hero on the PS2. The symphony of frustration was priceless! Real family bonding as they played to a jailhouse crowd. :P

[yirabeth]

I had a quiet evening in, I avoid the craziness of New Year's like the plague...

My "21 Ways.." and replacement Gilded came yesterday, a full week earlier than I was told, so I spent a quiet evening with my new love and getting to know her well :)

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

I didn't get home until almost 11pm my time last night. I was all alone, since my husband was stuck at work until 4am. So I just puttered around on the Net with the Dick Clark New Year's Eve special in the background.

I also did a year-ahead reading that had me scratching my head. It was almost all court cards.

[Wendywu]

We stayed home and had a long session on our computer game. Our son went to his girlfriend's parents home and got totally smashed..... luckily they did too :D

[franniee]

I am in severe pain.... I need to lie down a bit. Will someone please PM me when we are at my station I am ready to go. Thanks :)

[Aulruna]

I have a major aversion to mustard, which I knew would be plentiful. :P My aunt & uncle were stationed in Germany when my cousin was born, so we always tried to go to Oktoberfest/Busch Gardens Old Country things when they were stateside. I love the smells of German restaurants, but am pickier about the flavors.


I'm not mad about the hotter mustards myself... but I love the grainy sweet mustard that goes with the white sausages. I often make it myself - really easy actually, this is a receipe which will yield one marmelade jar:

50 g yellow mustard seeds
5 g salt
1 clove
2 coriander seeds
1 pinch of cinnamon

Grind in food processor or mortar - it should still be grainy, not as fine as flour.

Add 40g of boiling water, let stand for about 5 mins. to cool.
Add 30g of wine vinegar, 30g honey and 10g of brown sugar and process for about 5 mins.
Store in a sterile jar. It will need about 3 weeks to mature and mellow.

[cardlady22]

(((franniee))) Take care of yourself, love!

[Aulruna]

We had 3 other couples over for dinner - curry soup with king prawns, varied starters, venison ragout with 2 kinds of dumplings and veggies, orange ice cream. Everything except the ice cream prepared lovingly by yours truly!

Then went to a bridge with a great view over the city to watch the fireworks, then back to have flaming punch, divination by lead pouring (both typical New Year's Eve activities), and a darts tournament.

The last guests were leaving at 5am :D

Rotten way to start the new year :(

Nothing serious, I hope?

Victorican Romantic Tarot Standard Edition, Never opened I will take if noone has!

[cardlady22]

Score, TCO!!!!!

Did you get Jesii & SilentBreeze as sign-ups?

[NorthernTigress]

It's all yours, Boss! :D

[yirabeth]

Congrats on the deck! That lasted a lot longer than I thought it would :)

Did someone PM Franniee?

~Yira

That looks so cool. The first one looks sort of like the three of cups to me. The second one looks like a flower bud

[quintessence]

Or the Ace of Swords...

Sorry I missed out on the Victorian...my computer picked this time to launch its virus scan and hogged the internet until I could pause it. Too late, not meant to be. Must be another deck on down the tracks that is waiting for me.

Oh, and I got some of that mustard on my clothes and had to do a quick change.
Are we still rolling? Is Franniee okay?

[Sientara]

That one is a large box and comes with a big book. I just got it a couple of weeks ago. I haven't read with it. :)

Sipping a mimosa and watching Taken again. Love Liam! I am hoping the champagne helps the motrins kick in. :)

I am waiting for the back thingy to charge so I can put heat on it.

[cardlady22]

Back pain is so awful! My husband & father have bad spells regularly. Makes me wish I had Real Magick when I try to rub/massage.

[Queen of Disks]

gaaah, missed the Vr! Oh well..

I am having company over, and I have been running around cleaning everything like a crazy woman. So I may not be on for a while.

[kittiann]

Good morning everyone! I'd share my breakfast, but it certainly isn't very German.. Just plain yogurt and cheese :). I might have to grill some bratwurst tonight though, despite the OH's protests ;)

[NorthernTigress]

It looks like this slow train is running really slow, so I'm going to risk going out for a couple of errands.

[cardlady22]

I think there are some people who haven't gotten online yet today. It's all good. I'll be hanging out until dinner time, but then I have plans.

[Wendywu]

franniee - you OK? Wassamatter??

ETA - just read previous posts - aaargh - back pain is the worst!!

Nice score TCO :)

[LavenderLibra]

May I offer you a typical Bavarian breakfast......soft pretzels (Brezn) ..... and sweet mustard (süßer Senf)?

**copied from sign up thread**

Thank you! **Reaches for the pretzel**
Good morning, uhm, afternoon, y'all!

**Sientara, you can have my share of the sausages (I'll just double up on the pretzels).

I'm trying to get caught up, I stayed up late with hubs watching movies (making up for all the time I spend on the computer), and getting a late start.
**I think I just saw something about the Victorian Romantic. (gulp)

**edited to fix quote code.

[Wendywu]

Yep - TCO scored a Vic from Sientara :D

[franniee]

I added a pretty one. ;)
Thanks for your healing wishes!

[LavenderLibra]

I am in severe pain.... I need to lie down a bit. Will someone please PM me when we are at my station I am ready to go. Thanks :)
Oh, Franniee, I am sorry. I really sympathize on the back thing--it's not a localized thing, it affects EVERYTHING. ((hugs))

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Frannie, I hope you feel better soon!

[yirabeth]

I added a pretty one. ;)
Thanks for your healing wishes!

I quite like that Children tarot..I don't have anything comparable though so it's staying in your hands for now and someone else can pick *g*

I do hope you're feeling better...I have had my times of back troubles and geez they make a person miserable :(

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

I took another nap, and woke up just now. Don't think I've been added yet. I pmed TCO. Do I wait till I'm added before choosing decks?

[Aulruna]

Feel better soon!! *more hugs to franniee*

Hubby has synovitis ... he was supposed to get his arm into a cast ... no go for Christmas, so he is trying stabilizing bandages for the moment.

[PathWalker]

You know, if you've got decks to trade, and honest intentions (big grin) I'd pick now if you want to.

But I'm just guessing, maybe there are rules about it?

Pathwalker x

[cardlady22]

Yes, ask him what Station you can hop in on since you actually asked/posted before franniee's Station came up.

[franniee]

Feel better soon!! *more hugs to franniee*

Hubby has synovitis ... he was supposed to get his arm into a cast ... no go for Christmas, so he is trying stabilizing bandages for the moment.

Thanks A! I hope he feels better - that sounds painful! Tell him I am having mimosas....maybe he wants to join me? })

SB I don't see why you can't pick....you indicated you wanted on before my station..... TCO is at work so maybe he missed it. Whatcha think Aulruna?

[PathWalker]

Welcome Jesii :) Is this your first train? Are you as excited as I am?? hehe

They're serving beer and sausages if you want some!

~Yira
Hi yirabeth :)
Jesii is my daughter, and we use the same computer; so we can't both be logged in at the same time :(
When I get off, I'm sure she'll log in a have a sausage, and a beer too!

Nice to meet you, are you enjoying the fun?

Jes did a 'side by side' ride with me last time, joined the chat and we pooled resources for our trade. This time we have more decks to swap from (we bought a big lot recently) so she's going it alone.

I've got the coffee on again, and after dinner mints - it's evening here.

[Queen of Disks]

Holy Cow!!!! You should see the snow we're getting now!! :bugeyed:

[yirabeth]

Oh, that's cool! Perhaps no beer for her then, but I'm having a nice cuppa tea, she can join me! (beer is yucky anyway, I hate it I does..lol)

I am indeed enjoying this, I love that everyone is posting links to their cards so I can enjoy them even the expensive ones. That's fun! I can't wait til it's my turn :)

~Yira

[PathWalker]

You ARE on the list - number four, go go go!!!!

[The crowned one]

Hi everyone!

WE can keep adding members until the end of round one so do not be shy to join. When you join, you can enter the trading part on the NEXT station :D

I am still at work so I can only do quick reviews for the next couple of hours...looks like everyone is having fun! Lets pull out the champagne fountain!

[The crowned one]

Franniee is as familiar with the rules as I ;) so if I am not around and she is...I defer and agree to her decisions :)

[Queen of Disks]

did somebody pick from fraineee's station? :confused:

[Wendywu]

You know, I'd just about kill for a cuppa. Back soon ......

[PathWalker]

I quite like that Children tarot..I don't have anything comparable though so it's staying in your hands for now and someone else can pick *g*


~Yira

You know, you can pick it, it's not about how much something is worth, but rather about getting something new to love. No one is going to say, "oh she didn't offer something that expensive, she shouldn't have taken it."

Honest, it's not like that, people trade things they are happy to part with, it's swapping not selling, please don't worry :)

[yirabeth]

Frannieee's is still up, I just mentioned a desirable deck she had is all. I can't give comparable trade so I won't pick :)

~Yira

[Wendywu]

Second what Pathwalker said!!!

[yirabeth]

You know, you can pick it, it's not about how much something is worth, but rather about getting something new to love. No one is going to say, "oh she didn't offer something that expensive, she shouldn't have taken it."

Honest, it's not like that, people trade things they are happy to part with, it's swapping not selling, please don't worry :)


Gosh..this makes it tough..okay how's this -- if you all feel it's bad, don't choose my decks, and then I won't get this one.....

I choose the Children tarot that Franiee is offering.

~Yira

[franniee]

Frannieee's is still up, I just mentioned a desirable deck she had is all. I can't give comparable trade so I won't pick :)

~Yira

no Yira..... it doesn't matter what you offer - just that you offer. :)

very cool! Lavender Libra is up! This is a quick moving slow train. :D

[LavenderLibra]

Aulruna--The mustard recipe looks FAB. I AM going to make that!
Gosh, & you were so industrious with your New Year's Eve plans & menu--we went out to eat for lunch, then just snacked around the house & just had the company of the poodles.

Congrats on the Victorian Romantic, TCO! I should have made the train on time! (The wee poodle tried to wake me up earlier, but I told him to go lay back down--now I know what it was all about--will listen next time, I guess!).

Quester: **offers some sniffs of peppermint essential oil**
I feel for ya, I had a bad one all day yesterday, & trying to deal with the crowded stores. I couldn't even THINK straight.

Pathwalker, it's so neat you & your daughter Jesii are doing this together. My daughter & I are both on here, but she has so many other things going, she doesn't get to participate on the forum much (even thought I send her thread links now & then).

Frannie, Are the mimosas helping?? :)

[The crowned one]

That is it franniee...1/3 attitude...1/3 fun 1/3 trade and 6/3 good times! LOL!

[yirabeth]

Oh my gosh this is so awesome!! It's so adorable, I'm bouncing in my seat and my son just said, Mom, you're so weird....

HAHA! already knew that one, try another kid....

I'm all excited hehe

~Yira

[PathWalker]

What is in a mimosa, they sound like they should be so beautiful?

[Aulruna]

Okay, I've picked up the Mimosa cue ... though in a slight twist, we're having Bellinis instead.

[Sientara]

What is in a mimosa, they sound like they should be so beautiful?

I believe it is champagne and orange juice.

[LavenderLibra]

What is in a mimosa, they sound like they should be so beautiful?

A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of three parts champagne or other sparkling wine and two parts thoroughly chilled orange juice. It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch or to guests at weddings.

I had one on a semi-empty stomach one time, too early in morning....
I am not a morning drinker, UGGG. (Bad memory from a garden tour in the heat of the Carolinas....).

[PathWalker]

champagne and orange juice, healthy and fun!

[LavenderLibra]

Mom, you're so weird....

WOW, you got told that, TOO??? **blinks** Mine says that all the time.

[PathWalker]

I'm not a morning drinker either, but it's after 8 pm here :)

[Wendywu]

I'm pretty sure that a Mimosa is called Buck's Fizz over here ....

[PathWalker]

I'm pretty sure that a Mimosa is called Buck's Fizz over here ....
The drinkers are starting to show their colours LOL
I'm a tequilla and orange girl myself, but I could force down some bubbles!

[yirabeth]

WOW, you got told that, TOO??? **blinks** Mine says that all the time.


Yeah, I get it all the time too. I just tell him that normal is highly overrated..he could do a lot worse than having ME for a mom!! If he's in a good mood, he even agrees...hehe

~Yira

[franniee]

Frannie, Are the mimosas helping?? :)

yes!!! So happy! Taken is over and now Inkheart has begun! :) Looks like fun..... and I need a refill. :)

champagne and OJ! :thumbsup: would you like one? We are having a after new year's get this year started right party tomorrow night so we are fully stocked....... although I may make a dent in the stash today. :D })

Nice TCO! :laugh:

[Sinduction]

I'm late and I miss a VR???!!!!

So not happy.

[Jesii]

oh, double vodka and coke please =)

[LavenderLibra]

I was attempting to catch up, am SHOCKED you all are at my station already! (You caught me in my pink robe! **blush**)

Hubs is wanting to step out for a bit, it is my MIL's birthday....

Should I put my offerings up first....or wait til I get back...?

[cardlady22]

Depends . . . are you into delicious torture of your pals? })

[yirabeth]

first first! So we can ooh and ahh and drool over your decks too!

~Yira

[Jesii]

Oh, that's cool! Perhaps no beer for her then, but I'm having a nice cuppa tea, she can join me! (beer is yucky anyway, I hate it I does..lol)
****I am so not a beer goil too, hi yira!!!! thanks, this is my first train solo and im really excited =)

I am indeed enjoying this, I love that everyone is posting links to their cards so I can enjoy them even the expensive ones. That's fun! I can't wait til it's my turn :)
****I never did work out how to post the links, so i might get a handle on the tech too this time round.

~Yira

[Sientara]

I'm late and I miss a VR???!!!!

So not happy.

Ya'll are making me want to try the other two Books-a-millions in Arkansas to see if I can locate more on the shelf. I've been 2 for 2 so far.

[Wendywu]

You know, that's the one MRP deck I've never fancied at all. Dunno why not - I mean, Fanu raves about the thing but me - nah - don't see it's appeal. Still, horses for courses.

And Jesii - this vodka thing - how old are you?????

[quintessence]

Is everyone offering extra goodies to go along with the deck, like the lovely crochet bag from Sientara?
And shouldn't a German train have an oompah band or something playing in the background? The rhythm of the train is rocking my beer stein, but I have no music to sing along. Aulruna? Du, du?

[Jesii]

um...i'm 17...it's my mum's fault lol

[Wendywu]

You guys get great shops. I get WH Smith and Ottakars.....

[Sinduction]

Ya'll are making me want to try the other two Books-a-millions in Arkansas to see if I can locate more on the shelf. I've been 2 for 2 so far.
If you do find one, I would gladly take it off your hands. I have her sister and she is lonely.

[franniee]

ooo heating pad belt is on! I am cooking!!! :D

[SilentBreeze]

I'm finally added, and so early on the list, I think I shall keep waiting for now.

[Wendywu]

Oh alrighty then - vodka it is ..... you can explain to you mum how come youre all tipsy when she gets here ....

OK no laughing..... ok well maybe a little - but I was in an oom pah band in high school. I played the clarinet. :D

Well, I'm not including extras...I'm pretty talentless, craftwise...I am providing good will and wishes and maybe, if my theories are correct, a bit of magic though!

~Yira

[Jesii]

She drove me home the one and only time i was really drunk (i threw up, but not in the car =( ) she basically says im old enough to clean up after myself, so it's my problem.

So i wont have to explain, she will just raise her eye brows and that wil be bad enough
xxx

[quintessence]

What was the name of that polka that's so lively? Tritsch tratsch, or something like that? It had a lively clarinet part for you franniee, and I promise I won't laugh, except in glee as I dance about. We do have a dance car on this train, right? I don't want to just sit around, especially on a slow train.

[cardlady22]

Not German (I think) but now I'm hearing this song from my childhood:

I am a fine musician
I practice every day
And people come from miles 'round
Just to hear me play

My tuba, my tuba
They love to hear my tuba
Oom pa; Oom pa pa
Oom pa; Oom pa pa

continues on forever until you run out of instruments

[LavenderLibra]

Uhm...are we supposed to be brutally HONEST here? :cool3:

**I might lose the carefully spun facade of the sweet & charming LIBRA**

Of course, I could always use the indecision thing....or the procrastination thing...

This train is getting DANGEROUSLY fast on the tracks..and all these German mountains...curves....should we slow it down just a tad? With all the beer & cocktails, I wouldn't want anyone to get queasy. ;)

There is also that fabric store sale...maybe there is nice fabric for some deck bags??

[Jesii]

I'll join you in the dance car
xx

[Wendywu]

Eyebrows - not ..... the eyebrow????? cue Twilight World music.......


Mums have powers. ....


I told my son that when a woman has her children she gets given an extra eye in the back of her head. He believed me and I kept it up for ages ......

[LavenderLibra]

Ooh, things are going so fast, I'm getting DIZZY! I might as well FORGET ever signing up for the Bullet, or any other Fast Trains!

[cardlady22]

Well, LavendarLibra, as I say to hubby:
Flee before me!

[Jesii]

Huh...i still believe that....

[quintessence]

I'll join you in the dance car
xx
Yes! Fine, anybody else? Just remember to keep your spills of vodka or beer to your own costumes, I don't want my lederhosen stained.

[Wendywu]

We played that as a party game when I was little. Each kid did one instrument and we went round the room all being a different instrument. Mde a dreadful noise .....

[Jesii]

I don't spill my drink lol

[cardlady22]

I spray paint on my lederhosen. No worries about snags/runs.

[quintessence]

I spray paint on my lederhosen. No worries about snags/runs.

I fingerpaint on mine. Usually with mustard, diluted by beer.

[cardlady22]

quintessence, I meant that I grab some white body paint. :P
Ugggh! Mustard fingerpainting. Now I know what craft to tell the kids they want to do when I am aggravated with grandma. }) :angel:

[Sientara]

No, that is mayo fingerpainting.

[PathWalker]

The young one is banished back to the kitchen - she's on washing up duty poor thing.
She's not such a drinker as she would make out - we have the odd martini and lemonade here; we get in a bubble bath together, have a drink and talk 'girl-stuff' Very good for the mother/daughter relationship :)

She did drink too much on the last day of college before xmas. She right, I gace her the bucket, told her to drink lots of water, and left her to it. She'll be 18 in June, so honestly she knows her own mind, and all you can do is offer your opinion in a wise way, and be there when they need you. But they have to learn their own lessons, don't they?

Anyway, if she's going to dance, I'm going to watch the world go by :)

[quintessence]

Usually the mustard fingerpainting is rather an involuntary craft resulting from the attempted application of said mustard to large soft pretzels with big holes that let it drip onto the lederhosen. Then you look down and gasp and also involuntarily splash some good German bier onto it from the stein in your other hand. Not having a napkin handy, you try to wipe as much of it off with whatever hand you free up first -- usually the pretzel hand because who wants to put their stein down -- and voila! you end up with an art form in a category by itself. At least, I haven't noticed any lederhosen like these on EBay lately.

[Aulruna]

Okay, a selection of German music favourites:

Peter Fox - Schwarz zu Blau
"Black to blue", about a morning in our capital city, Berlin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DZprxzi6ig

Ruben Cossani - Bis auf letzte Nacht ("Except for last night")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GvZd8rj02E

Rammstein - Mutter ("Mother")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4v2-_YEu-Q

Sorry oompah lovers ... not really knowledgeable about this.

Absolutely :) My lad tells me he got hammered on New Year's Eve but - he locked the doors up, he got his contact lenses out (how???) and then fell asleep sitting up on the edge of his bed ...... his girlfriend by then had "fallen asleep" and so he stayed sat on the edge of the bed until he came to at 5.15 a.m.... frozen and stiff. Ha ha. He's 20 - and if he gets smashed more than two or three times a year I'd be surprised, so I didn't mind at all....

[quintessence]

Okay! Amongst the guests over at my house right now (an ongoing house party) is someone who's favorite is Rammstein. Asked about 99 luft balloons?

[Aulruna]

Collectible Oktoberfest steins:

Am I the only German on the train this time?? Where are Isinea, Cat* and Astrea Aurora when you need them???

[LavenderLibra]

You're a wonderful tour guide/hostess, Aulruna! :heart:

[Aulruna]

Oh my God, yes ... I adored Nena in th 80ies!
This is it:

[LavenderLibra]

Well, I guess I will step out for a bit, in spite of the fact that the sale ended an HOUR ago, and the store my hubs wanted to go to is also closed. It's still MIL's b.d.

Just as SOON as I walk in the door....I will post my stash! :D

Quester, you still with us?? You're QUIET!!!

[quintessence]

I like the stein from 2005 -- Fussballwiesn. That's me with the soccer ball hahas, spilling bier and mustard all over the place!
Sorry I'm not German, Aulruna, but my brother's a German professor at a university in Virginia. I was a Spanish major, with a side of French and Portuguese. But my youngest daughter has finally determined that she wants to learn German so she can read the physics books and science research papers coming up in her classes, so I am hoping to learn along with her. Meanwhile, I'm appreciating all your cultural sharing.

[LavenderLibra]

My German experience:

1. Went to school with a German exchange student, Bettina;
2. Have gone to Busch Gardens.
3. Hubs was stationed in Germany, & has told me many stories & had some nice scenic photos. Alas, this was before I met him, so I missed my chance to travel the world.

--Sadly inexperienced--

Foreign Language experience: zilch, except for picking up things in the media. :D

(I'm leaving window up--I'll be back in a jiff...hubs is laughing at me, running back to the computer).

[Wendywu]

Gotta go - back about 7.00 a.m. UK time. I expect I'll miss the deck of my dreams but it can't be helped :grin:

[cardlady22]

2003 Karl Valentin stein for me!

[The crowned one]

Speaking of Steins, here is a "master stein" of mine...it holds about 4 litres of beer and is from the late 1800's

Any trades beside me so far?

[cardlady22]

TCO, that is exquisite! I wish I had photos of my grandparents' cabinets & racks. They had collectibles from all over the world: figurines and pipes. German-born cousin got the pipe collection that hung in his study.

[cardlady22]

yirabeth chose the Children

[PathWalker]

Yirabeth chose Children Tarot from Franniee :)

[shamoness]

I'm finally here! Great offerings so far! Hubby decided we should go out to look at cars today. I have been without transportation for 2 YEARS! I have been begging rides from my kids. Of course all the car lots were closed today except one. So we drove down to Ft. Lauderdale to see a car a friend of hubby has for sale. Very nice 1990 Lexus. Couldn't get the key to turn in the ignition!!! But it looks like this is a common problem so I think we are going to buy it. The seller wants to work out a deal so he gets some cash and the rest in work on his machines. He needs installations and hubby is the man. Things will work out for everyone. Great way to start out the new year!

Aulruna, those Weisswurst look great! I'll need to pick some up for our Sunday dinner this weekend. Uncle Stanaslaus is bringing Pierogis. Wish I had time to prepare some of that yummy mustard. Guess I'll have to pick that up at the Euro-Deli as well.

[yirabeth]

That's a lovely stein, TCO :)

I have put in for Franniee's Children tarot, assuming my own gets chosen as well :) Now we're at LavendarLibra :)

~Yira

[Sinduction]

I can't believe how many places are closed today. Really wanting to get a haircut today but even the cheap walk in places are closed. I'm about to attempt it myself.

It's a Friday and everyone has a three day weekend. Why don't shops want to make money?

What else is there to do on a day off??? I wanna shop!

[yirabeth]

Haha, did we all post at once?? *grin*

~Yira

[Guiding Cauldron]

Hi everyone so sorry im so very late got back late from taking guests to the airport and its a long drive whew!

Just read all the banter and now enjoying the ride until my snooze time :) Happy new year and eat well xoxo

[The crowned one]

LavenderLibra is the station, I am just catching up...do we have a list?

[cardlady22]

LavendarLibra is being divinely tantalizing. No list yet.

I was searching for an Eager Beaver pic and stumbled across this little guy. Anyone know where it comes from?

ETA: The series is called Battle Beasts and they look awesome!
http://www.toyarchive.com/BattleBeasts/Figures/AllSeries.html
(this is OK to link, right?)

[Guiding Cauldron]

doesnt look it yet TCO

[Stormdancer]

I think she may be waiting until she gets back from a b-day party

[quintessence]

Do we all wait in the station until LavenderLibra returns, or do we go to the next station and come back when she's home? Sorry, first time on the train.

[PathWalker]

I can't believe how many places are closed today. Why don't shops want to make money?

What else is there to do on a day off??? I wanna shop!

Oh, but you must look at it from the other side too :)
I work in retail, we're closed today coz it's a bank holiday in England, but we only shut one day at xmas, and one day at new year. Other than that we're open 7 days a week. I got two days off in a row at xmas, only because I then worked boxing day.
I'd love to shop - but I'm always at work :(

[shamoness]

She's into torturing us!!!

[PathWalker]

Do we all wait in the station until LavenderLibra returns, or do we go to the next station and come back when she's home? Sorry, first time on the train.
I think, in extremis, after 12 hours at a station, if the person hasn't been online to post, then the train moves on.
But LavenderLibra will be back son (i hope!!)

PW x

[NorthernTigress]

Well, that was a bit of a Wild Goose chase. I went all over looking for my January bus pass, before finding it right in my own neighborhood.

Edited to Add: After all that talk of cabbage fried in butter, what did I buy for my supper tonight? Pasta sauce, to have with the whole wheat pasta in the kitchen.

[Stormdancer]

I'm gonna try for a wee nap until she gets back. My daughter texted me at 7 am..."Are you up?"...."Well, I am NOW!" It was an ever important question concerning a trip to the mall...of paramount importance to 13 yr old :eek:

[quintessence]

So this is like going through one of those long dark tunnels through the mountains, where the train engine echoes all the way along and blows its whistle both at the entrance to the tunnel and when it leaves. Meanwhile, we're in the dark, not knowing what vistas will show themselves when we emerge...and LavenderLibra has so many vistas she could choose from to show...I'm nibbling my fingertips (no long nails because I do massage therapy) and thinking about the three I would love to see pop up. Aaargh! Cardlady22, you said this would be fun! The suspense is getting to me and we're only at the 3rd station. Plus dinnertime is coming up here and I have company to feed. Ach du liber!?

[cardlady22]

It is fun, dear quintessence! My bet is at least 3 days. I have a lot riding on it.

Re: paramount importance to teen daughters
I managed to hold mine off with a promise for tomorrow. Build-A-Bear gift certificates, you see.

[The crowned one]

We are traveling along the Rhine...

Just set that as my screen background, thank you so much. It's been years since I last visited Germany, and you do forget the special look of places don't you, unless you get out postcards or something.
Thank you

[NorthernTigress]

According to the creepily accurate "Who's Online?", LavenderLibra's last activity was 50 minutes ago.

[kittiann]

Oh, so beautiful! I never got to see any good bits of the Rhine on my trip; only brown city parts :(

[quintessence]

Aulruna, can you furnish us a list of German expletives (site acceptable ones) we can use to register surprise, joy, angst, etc?
Yay! Hubby is pitching in to help render a feast for the tableful of people we have, currently playing a game of Risk 2210 A.D.

[Quester]

Quester, you still with us?? You're QUIET!!!

Taking down Christmas decorations!! Took a lot longer than I thought it would. I love putting them up, but I hate the storing thing!!

[NorthernTigress]

Yes, Please! I always felt that German is a wonderful language to get angry in.

[Sinduction]

After perusing youtube, I now feel confident enough to go give myself a haircut! Be back later. Cross your fingers for me, and maybe some toes too! :D

[quintessence]

Quintessence, you are a massage therapist? My son and middle daughter are massage therapists too!

Yes, I've been licensed in Florida for over 20 years. This year I'm VP of the local chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association. Yet with this economy I'm struggling along with everyone else as disposable income dries up. Thankfully, my long association with the Tarot is beginning to come to my rescue, especially at events. Oddly, it's a good blend, as the cards reveal much about the current lesson of the querent, and the body of the massage client does, too. I do mostly medical massage, doctor referral.

[PathWalker]

After perusing youtube, I now feel confident enough to go give myself a haircut! Be back later. Cross your fingers for me, and maybe some toes too! :D
Oh I do hate having my hair cut at all; I cut my own fringe, and then ask my OH to trim the ends maybe twice a year (it's not quite waist legnth)

But cutting it all myself? No, not brave enough.

How's it going? So thinking good thoughts for you

[The crowned one]

Ist es eine regnerische aber schöne Nacht. Eine gute Nacht für Bier oder wine meine Freunde!

Ah, it feels good to be home and know you do not work tomorrow.

[NorthernTigress]

One of my friends is a massage therapist. It was great while he was taking his courses, because my husband and I were on his list of "practice bodies". :D :D :D

Now if we want a massage, he'd charge us. Those were the days. :joke:

[quintessence]

Wow, TCO, that was easier to understand than I thought it might be.
Suppertime! Baco cheeseburger pizza for hubby and one other at table, spinach & mushroom for me and one other, garlic cheese for the rest. Beer! Must have beer...

I understand fully. It's hard physical labor. And it's a lot like the guy who cuts lawns (in Florida!) all day long and comes home and his wife wants him to go mow their lower 40.

[cardlady22]

Well, I'm off for dinner.

[Guiding Cauldron]

im off to bed nights xx

TCO beauty pic of Germany!
Aurluna I would Love those pretzels, sausages and mustard yummy and great midnight snack! :)

[yirabeth]

Mmm, I just had a lovely dish of Beef Stroganoff...

Sweet dreams to you, Guiding Cauldron :)

~Yira

[Aulruna]

Think I'll follow GC'c example and hit the mattress...

List of expletives to follow tomorrow!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Gute Nacht, schlaft schoen! Nighty Night, don't let the bed bugs bite..

[NorthernTigress]

Good night GC and Aulruna!

How's your back? Better??

G'Night!!! thanks for breakfast!!

[NorthernTigress]

It's amazing how "dente" al dente becomes when you are REALLY hungry. :D

[shamoness]

I love my pasta and my vegies al dente. But hubby likes everything turned to mush!

[yirabeth]

It's amazing how "dente" al dente becomes when you are REALLY hungry. :D

Haha! That one cracked me up.... /giggle

~Yira

[franniee]

How's your back? Better??

it was but then that wore off and it isn't so good again.

I am watching derailed.... ever see that movie? it's a weird one! Jennifer Anistan

Hubby is making short ribs. :)

[quintessence]

I don't know if that movie is safe to watch while you're on a train -- even through Germany.

[franniee]

I don't know if that movie is safe to watch while you're on a train -- even through Germany.

:laugh: I didn't think of it at the time.

[The crowned one]

Time to start working on my list!

Lets see...

[LavenderLibra]

LavenderLibra digs through overnight bag, and is offering...

Deck of Shadows (http://thinkingmagically.com/deck_of_shadows.html) oracle-have ordered, & is winging it's way to me next week!
The Medieval Scapini Tarot - Belgium printing-sealed
Manga Tarot - Selena Lin
Thoth - (Purple box, with the 3 Magus cards)-printed in Belgium


Oh...I'm back!!!!!!! :party:

[yirabeth]

Welcome back!

Nice list ya got there :)

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

So, while we are waiting for LavendarLibra's return, is anyone interested in some quick 1-3 card readings? I have my Legacy of the Divine, Tarot of Dreams, Oracle of the Dragonfae and Laws of Attraction decks all within easy reach.

Edited. If this was real life, this would be one of those "She's right behind me, isn't she?" moments. :D

[Stormdancer]

Edited. If this was real life, this would be one of those "She's right behind me, isn't she?" moments. :D

Yeppers :joke:

[NorthernTigress]

The Major Arcana in the Manga Deck are SOOOOOO beautiful, but I don't know how well I could handle plain pip Minors.

[LavenderLibra]

**giggle** I tiptoed in through the back door. And in the meantime, have had to reboot my computer. I think it must be as cold as I am, and is on the sluggish order, too.

This calls for....SPIKED, err, I mean SPICED CIDER!!!!!

[shamoness]

The Deck of Shadows is quite striking. Not for my reading tastes though.

Good selection LavenderLibra!

[Stormdancer]

The Deck of Shadows is quite striking.
Good selection LavenderLibra!

Intriguing, isn't it?

[LavenderLibra]

Mmmm.... my favorite wolf mug, filled to the brim with steaming spiced cider, and topped with caramel schnapps, according to the given recipe.

Kinda reminds you a caramel apple at the fair!

[yirabeth]

Mmm...that sounds kinda good...hehe

Ahh well, the weather outside is frightful! (haha) and I'm certainly not going out to buy caramel schnapps...LOL

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Well, I don't have any caramel schnapps, but I do have some GoldSchlagger that was given as a gift many years ago. That's cinnamon flavored schnapps with real flakes of gold.
:party: :party: :party: :party:

:party: :party: :party: :party:

I've not heard of that, but I'll bet it's good..and will warm you up! I have a friend who recommends something called Hot Shots, which is hot cinnamon schnapps...I guess kinda like the fireball candy.

I wonder if they make ginger schnapps? I LOVE ginger!

[Quester]

:heart: I LOVE peppermint Schnapps!!! :heart:

[Stormdancer]

YUM...I WUB cinnamon stuff!!! Let me know if you find a ginger schnapps...

I think I need more soft pretzels with all the schnapps that's flowing. I actually bought some frozen ones at the store today. I doubt they're any good, but...hey...a craving is what it is :D

So LavenderLibra....how are those peas coming along? Got room yet??

[Quester]

You have some great offerings LavenderLibra!!

[Queen of Disks]

hello, I just got rid of the guests, so I will be around for a while.

*runs off to check list*

[LavenderLibra]

So LavenderLibra....how are those peas coming along? Got room yet??

Ugg...still stuffed. Maybe have to open a can of them for a midnight snack.

:heart: I LOVE peppermint Schnapps!!! :heart:
Hey, I have some of that, too! How do you want it, straight? (Kinda rough, but will do the job!).

I wonder if you could MAKE schnapps?

(I don't know if bringing the poodles along was a good idea...one is insisting on the lap, and the other one is clawing at my elbow while I'm trying to type--I'm almost ready to go wash dishes, just to get a break).

[Stormdancer]

OK...we need to stop the schnapps talk. I am seriously thinking a "run" in the FRIGID temps is a GOOD idea.

Growing up as a WEE child (in Tenn, LL) our Beagle was named Schnappsy.

Hmmmm....it's a sign :joke:

[LavenderLibra]

I am "kinda stocked up" on schnapps, and some other stuff. I ran into an overstock thing, and picked up some unusual flavors. I'm always running into a recipe that calls for a little of different ones. I think I got Pear, tangerine, grapefruit, probably weird, LOL! Got peppermint left over from a party, along with various other bits and pieces.

It's good, but I don't' know if it's good enough to brave the temps right now.

Wow, didn't know you grew up in TN! I moved here at a late age, grew up on the coast.

[Stormdancer]

We moved when I was 6...so they were formative years in many ways...but I started first grade in CO...and stayed there through out.

We were in Knoxville....at a place called Ijams Park. I think that's how it's spelled, but then I was in kindergarten...not much spelling done there...LOL

[NorthernTigress]

OK...we need to stop the schnapps talk. I am seriously thinking a "run" in the FRIGID temps is a GOOD idea.

Growing up as a WEE child (in Tenn, LL) our Beagle was named Schnappsy.

Hmmmm....it's a sign :joke:

Sorry Stormdancer, but I'm experimenting. One ounce of concentrated apple cider mix and a half ounce of Goldschagger mixed with hot water. I'll let you all know how it tastes.

Edited: Well, it smells good, and it's sparkly. And the flavor.... is dang good. :D

[LavenderLibra]

Sorry Stormdancer, but I'm experimenting. One ounce of concentrated apple cider mix and a half ounce of Goldschagger mixed with hot water. I'll let you all know how it tastes.

That sounds similar to what I made. I have a large mug...added two envelopes of the Alpine spiced cider mix, and an ounce of caramel schnapps to each envelope. Pretty good...but it's almost gone...and I'm drowsy!

What is this "cider mix"? Is it powdered kinda thing?

Not that I'm running out or anything CRAZY like that...

[NorthernTigress]

This one isn't a powder. It's actually a very thick liquid. The company that makes it is local, and I usually pick some up from craft sales. The best part is that it is actually made from concentrated (very, very concentrated) apple juice.

[Stormdancer]

I seriously think I should move to Canada

[yirabeth]

Are you insane? It's seriously COLD in Canada!! LOL

I'm a bit tired of winter already, if you can't tell....LOL

~Yira

[quintessence]

Well, company has seriously reduced in number, and I have a class to attend in the morning, so I'm going to call it a night. Happy New Year to you all, and to all a good night!

[LavenderLibra]

I AGREE...I don't think I could go any farther north than the KY border! My toes are aching from the cold right now. I had planned on going to the Big City tomorrow, but getting in and out in the cold is really making me hurt just thinking about it. (I must be the hothouse variety of Lavender--brrr).

[NorthernTigress]

I seriously think I should move to Canada

I haven't even mentioned Nature's gift to the Prairies: the Saskatoon Berry!

Right now I'm living in a balmy 6 farenheit...you're probably colder. SO...how's in Canada right now? All i know is that I am GLAD there is no wind. Worstest for me was in Wyoming...wind chill 60 below zero (F). Froze my eyeballs that did.

[Stormdancer]

That looks good. After Stormdancer asked, I looked around, and saw another brand in Vermont that was like that, in a pump bottle. I've got the Alpine (http://www.krusteaz.com/brands/alpine/) brand...but YUM, look at that rum cake! Looks just like the rum cake that I make, but they've added the apple cider mix to it.

Goodnight, Quintessence! I've been debating going to bed early, and getting on here early before I leave in the morning....or staying up late...

What is Saskatoon berry?

It is about 17°F here....it is always colder with my outdoor thermometer, than what they give for our area; we're at a higher elevation than down in town.

[yirabeth]

Oooh..you're right, it IS seriously cold right now! Although my thermometer says 8 farenheit...could be off though.

So maybe it's only equally cold up there...LOL In any case, when I get through school my goal is to move somewhere warmer..hehe

EEK :eek: Isn't that kinda cold for y'all???

[NorthernTigress]

What is Saskatoon berry?


It looks a bit like a pale blueberry, but it is sweeter. You might know it better as a "June berry".

[yirabeth]

Stormdancer, I just noticed your signature..I really like that saying :)

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Hmmm. I wonder if I'm due for a new signature for the new year/decade?

Any ideas for theme/mood/topic?

[Stormdancer]

It is a cool quote, isn't it? I don't know where it came from....have not really bothered to find it, but it fits my "name" and I like what it says. The SIG picture was a gift from our own Tarotlyn...she did a WONDERFUL job!!!

[LavenderLibra]

EEK :eek: Isn't that kinda cold for y'all???

WE've already had one wave of really low temps. The NOAA website is giving a low of 11°F tonight, and 8°F tomorrow night. But it is a place 20 miles away, so usually we can figure we need to subtract 1 or 2 degrees of that for us.

We go through lots of freezing and thawing cycles. Either ice or mud. (Not fun with dogs tracking in and out--I bought some mulch to put outside where the little poodle has wore out a path around the fence he'd LOVE to get out of....to see the little GIRL neighbor dog that comes to visit, and drives him crazy).

The SIG picture was a gift from our own Tarotlyn...she did a WONDERFUL job!!! Yes she did. I admire all the pictures people make. I've tried to find websites for some basic ones, but never had any luck. I'd go blank at trying to come up with that on my own.

[Sinduction]

Well, my hair came out awesome! Yay for youtube! I cut about 5 inches off, it's still two inches below my shoulders and layered with a long side bang. I'm happy with it and it already feels so much lighter!

Going out to party now, two friends are dj-ing and I promised to make an appearance. Glad the snow has stopped for the night.

Have fun everyone! Will check back once we're home. :D

[Queen of Disks]

Have fun Sin!

No kidding about the snow. It was practically a whiteout for a little while. :bugeyed:

[LavenderLibra]

Wow, 5"??!! You really started with big changes for 2010!! :D I'll bet it looks AWESOME!

Have fun going out tonight!

[Stormdancer]

I admire all the pictures people make. I've tried to find websites for some basic ones, but never had any luck. I'd go blank at trying to come up with that on my own.

I have her pm's stored on my pc...I'll try to find the link she gave me tomorrow. I do know it's called ASCII art...or something like that....but somehow she found the lightening/cloud thing. I really like it, but it seems so BIG at the bottom of my posts. Wish I could figure out how to make it all smaller somehow.

[Stormdancer]

Well, my hair came out awesome! :D

WOW!!! You are very brave....GOOD FOR YOU!!! I tried that once, and well...I failed. Now my hair is shorter than most boys :eek: but I love the simplicity. I'm not especially pretty either way, and i am WAY into EASY comfort. Sure saves time in the mornings :D

Have a GREAT time

[yirabeth]

Haha! I just commandeered mine from Equidies..it's the Queen of Pentacles. Equidies is doing the Queen of Pentacles for the Nonny Mouse deck, and he added this into a post..he just said I could use it because I identify with her :)

~Yira

[LavenderLibra]

I tried playing around with the coding here on the forums. No luck. I thought I could do [size= and then a -2, or something like that. Maybe I didn't do it right. You'd think there would be a trick, somewhere!

[yirabeth]

Oh..yes, Stormdancer, it is called ASCII art..I'm not very good at it, but Equidies is. He's always "drawing" ASCII pictures, sometimes for me...

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

I'm still here. Just wading my way through pages of quotations and proverbs, looking for inspiration.

[Quester]

This house is sooo cold! I would love that peppermint schnapps LavenderLibra...just to warm my toes!! :)

[Quester]

I'm still here. Just wading my way through pages of quotations and proverbs, looking for inspiration.
You always have cute quips NT. I know you will come up with just the right one!! :)

[The crowned one]

Just checking in!

All is well here on the coast of a rain forest!

Our private wake has gone perfectly and all are having a wonderful time. We are having a public one on the 9th of Jan.

Such a great night, and soon I will join my rail friends and continue perfect night!

[Stormdancer]

Sometimes what you're looking for just "comes" when it's time....not necessarily when you're looking for it.

Are we the only ones awake??? Gotta admit, I am not up for much longer

[yirabeth]

I'm still here. Just wading my way through pages of quotations and proverbs, looking for inspiration.

Are there tarot quotes out there? Hmmm..never thought of that. I had to do a webpage for a class I did last semester, and I did foodie type quotes..that was fun. (It was a webpage about food, of course..hehe)

I hear ya on the cold, Quester...it seems when it gets below 0 here (and it must be, because I'm freezing!) it just SEEMS colder in the house..the inside thermometer still reads 70 though..lol I'm wearing a pair of socks and a pair of slipper socks on my feet, and a heavy sweatshirt over my normal t-shirt..LOL

~Yira

We will be lucky to wake up to temps above 60 (f) in our home tomorrow morning. I wear many layers ALL the time, but then I am a skinny twiggy kinda gal...need all the extra insulation I can get. Right now the oven door is open...pumping heat in before we go to bed

[NorthernTigress]

The topics for my new year/new decade signature are many and varied. But I feel like I'm searching the same places again and again.

Anyone have any topics I can try on the foundation of change/growth/beginnings?

[rhombchick]

I am back from the camping trip, I have caught up with the thread and am sad to see what I have missed but am sure there is something better coming just for me!!!



Am I the only German on the train this time?? Where are Isinea, Cat* and Astrea Aurora when you need them???

I'm Hungarian..... does that help? I lived in Austria for a year too, so that's like, almost Germany.
I was three/four at the time and I had to learn German at kindergarten. I ended up speaking German better than the children who had learned it from birth..... but I unfortunately forgot it just as fast.

Rammstein are awesome! They do great live concerts with fire and crackers and everything!!!!
LOVELOVELOVE!!!!

*grabs a sausage and dips it in some mustard*
where are the dill gherkins! I have a craving for them all of a sudden!

[LavenderLibra]

I'm NOT a skinny girl, but my "insulation" doesn't reach my toes! Eh, if I was to be warmer, it would probably kick off some hot flashes, anyway, then I'd be all cranky, haha. All the men in my family run then. (I'm severely outnumbered, just one old grouchy girl kitty, & the rest are males, two and four-footed....).

I'm running back and forth, FORCED myself from y'all's company, and have washing dishes, and sorting through stuff, & trying not to trip on the poodles--who are not satisfied unless I am in a chair, so they can fight over my lap. I probably won't stay up as late as last night; I have a study group in the morning--so I'll try to get up early, so I can check the Train out.

[LavenderLibra]

where are the dill gherkins! I have a craving for them all of a sudden!
Hey, have them right here! LOVE them! I also have some pickled okra & sliced jalapenos my niece gave us for Christmas. (I just tried a tiny niblet, OMG, they're DEADLY).

Here's what you missed:

Canadian Scot, will that do ;)

And for those of you that think Canada is cold...well yes it is, but the west coast ( or wet coast) is rain forest more then ice and snow ;)

[rhombchick]

Mmmmm
I love pickled jalepinos!
I planted some just so I can have a go at pickling them!

That Thoth is awful tempting!
Except I can't read Thoth very well.
I have two already.... but I must admit I always was curious about the three magus version....

*Umms and Ahhs for the next while*

[Stormdancer]

pickled okra

OMG***swoons***

WUB that

[yirabeth]

*Enables Rhombchick*

Aww, you know you want it...THREE magus! That's awesome all by itself! I bet with practice you could be reading from it like a pro...maybe the 3 magus help in that :)

~Yira

[The crowned one]

Mmmmm

Amazing opportunity... I am surprised it is still sitting there...

[LavenderLibra]

Mmmmm

I'm wanting to get the store-dbought picked okra, and put either a few of the jalapeno slices in the jar...or find some dried hot peppers, and let them "marinate" a while. Until I got these, hubs thought he didn't like okra...but realized his only experience was with the slimy stuff, LOL! He and I go through these pretty good, I need to learn to make them myself, it would be MUCH cheaper.

That Thoth is awful tempting!
Except I can't read Thoth very well.
I have two already.... but I must admit I always was curious about the three magus version....
It's nice. It's not been shuffled. I bought it new, and Arimaya & I carefully opened the cellophane wrapper, both went through & looked at the cards, then I slid it back into the cellophane, and back into the box.

[yirabeth]

Off topic, or retopic'ed, it's so cold here, I just took my dogs out for their last potty break, and my shar pei, who usually likes to wander the yard edges sniffing out any bunnies etc that wandered by is standing at the end of her leash towards the house, switching feet every minute or so as one on the ground gets too cold to stand on...my big old girl (16 in April, lab mix) does her business and goes and stands with her nose practically touching the door, hoping to force it open by sheer will (she's not leashed, she's not going anywhere)... and they BOTH turn to stare at my little girl, who always has to find the perfect spot to do both #1 AND #2 each round...I could almost hear them saying, GEEZ Liberty hurry it up would ya!! hehe

Rhombchick, I think a sweet lady like you should have a sweet deck like a Thoth with 3 magus.... :)

She's been known to get in my lap and tap my face with her paw then let out an ear-piercing yowl if she doesn't like something, and I'd better go FIX IT NOW...or else...

Or we can see if anyone can enable me on pip decks (the Manga). :D

[cardlady22]

Very intriguing choices, LavendarLibra. I'm on a manga kick right now, but I think I need to wait and see how my en route pink Clow Cards are.

Hey! That's an idea. NT, would you pull something to see if they are safe/still moving toward me?

It sounds like a topic for the Laws of Attraction cards. These are cards that are used for meditation to create what you want in your life.

"What is the main theme of Yira's life for 2010?"

Theme: Respect

Imagery: An asian lord and his servant are walking down a nature path. A small bird is gathering twigs for a nest. A tiger walks by in the foreground. Neither man nor beast is threatening the other.

Affirmation: I can manifest love and respect when I love and respect myself.

[cardlady22]

Oh, neato 'squito! That's one of the sample cards here (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/dragonfae-oracle/). I wonder if having the 3 fae shown will mean anything specific? It'll be interesting to see.

One site said orchids have a vase life of 7-14 days. :laugh:
Orchid was my favorite doll from the Rose-Petal Place sets. A fashion plate/shopaholic. Weird. I suppose I am a limited shopaholic (books & decks), but absolutely not a fashion person.

It's a great little deck, although it takes some effort to use it as an actual oracle.

Just got through watching Resident Evil: Extinction, not a bad way to kill a couple of hours, how is everyone?

[LavenderLibra]

Yirabeth, so funny about your cat. This old gal of mine is very ladylike. She doesn't meow, very quiet, but she is very, very persistant, and doesn't give up--she knows you will eventually be annoyed so much at her clumsy patting & tapping, & getting her nails hung into your clothing, then can't get them loose, that you'll give in and do whatever it was that she wanted. Gosh, I am not sure how old she is...she's got to be about 16 or 17? Just guessing.

Her feet have only touched the grass one time...she snuck out the front door in her younger years, one of the dogs saw her, and gave chase, and she took off, and he almost caught her...to the backdrop of me shrieking to my husband, and him trying to catch either the cat or the dog... she will creep out a little onto the porch now, but I fuss her back in, & she gladly goes. She's just a little old blue-grey marshmallow!

I've overstayed my bedtime! My kitchen looks better, and I've had fun with you all! I'll check back in the morning...but for now, I have dogs to walk! (It's 16°F right now on my front porch :eek: ).

Hello, Queen of Disks! I'm trying to warm up the house a tad before I go to bed. It's rare that we have to turn on the heat, and our thermostat sticks. The first time you flip it over, it doesn't register and will keep running. Nothing beats waking up hacking with a dry throat.

[yirabeth]

It's a great little deck, although it takes some effort to use it as an actual oracle.

To tell the truth, I'm not sure exactly what (or how to use) oracle cards..I'd never heard of them until I joined this site..hehe I think I may attempt to learn though.


On that note, I think I'm off to bed..almost 2am here, and the train probably stops at my stop tomorrow!

Thanks for all the fun today, I've enjoyed it. See you all tomorrow!

I am about to go to bed myself. The Thoth is really nice (I already have one. I wouldn't mind a backup but I would rather someone who didn't have one get one.) The Manga is good too.

[rhombchick]

Hi NT....
I wonder what say your cards.....
What should I try in order to obtain myself the complete set of twilight books at a reasonable price (under $50 after postage and all that drama) because I am at my wits end and don't have the $100 to shell out for a brand new set.... :(

[NorthernTigress]

Okay, I'm not even sure which deck would be best for that. Hmmmm.

The Dragonfae appear to be volunteering.

"What does rhombchick need to get what they want?"

Card 23 "The Lovers at the Feast" keyphrase "conscious aware eating"

Allrighty then! Sometimes the Dragonfae have a bit of a sense of humor. Maybe they are suggesting that you can save some money to get your books by spending less on food. Maybe take bag lunches to work, or avoid going to restaurants for a while?

[rhombchick]

OMG! DId your cards just call me fat????

LMAO!

I'm offended!

I just got the dragonfae for christmas, I think I need to take that card out and give it a cold shower

[NorthernTigress]

Giggle. Don't start a fight. The book itself talks about the healing power of food, "comfort food" and the importance of taking care of yourself. I usually avoid reading the book, but I was really confused this time. The "bag lunches" idea was the only thing I could think of that would match your question.

[rhombchick]

Yeah, you're right though, I don't take lunch anywhere, but I spend money freely on food, without thinking about the consequences, not like how I spend money on tarot cards (else I'd never have money).
I think my main problem is that I cannot justify spending that much money on just four books. But books are food for the mind, and I haven't been reading lately. Maybe I should just get them and enjoy them....
Hmm....
I'll have to think about this a little longer.
Thanks for the insight!

[Sinduction]

So no takers on LL's stash.

I was hoping for a new list. :D

That's funny. When you said "food for the mind", it reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.

"When I get a little money, I buy books. If there is any left over, I buy food and clothing." Erasmus

Take of that what you wish.

[Queen of Disks]

Ok, good night everyone!!

[NorthernTigress]

Goodnight QoD. I'll be heading to bed soon too. Just waiting for the TV program I'm watching to end.

[Wendywu]

Morning all :)

Nice list LavendarLibra - that Thoth is deeply tempting but I'm not at all sure I'd read with it so I'd feel really bad taking it when someone who'd love it and use it might come along.....

Y'know - I've had days and days of holiday.... So how come I've got a weekend lined up where there is so much to do I'm gonna be gasping with exhaustion by the time it's all done!!!

Hey - we made me a new medicine bag :) goat skin and 1mm round leather thong - with a goatskin birch leaf as a flap. It's on my altar at the moment whilst I think about how I want to decorate it. I couldn't be more pleased :)

[NorthernTigress]

I'll be going to bed in about 15 minutes. Last chance for a card draw.

[Wendywu]

OK - could you draw for me? Am I right in not wanting to organise my sister's wedding? She's a full grown adult - aged 56 - and has her mornings free - I totally think she and her partner should organise it ..... but am I being mean??

[NorthernTigress]

OK - could you draw for me? Am I right in not wanting to organise my sister's wedding? She's a full grown adult - aged 56 - and has her mornings free - I totally think she and her partner should organise it ..... but am I being mean??

Okay. Dragonfae again.

"What does Wendy need to do for her sister's wedding?"

Card 20: The Pendragon. keyphrase "Pure Male Energy"

Well there's a pretty strong message. Let a man take care of it, if that applies. Otherwise, I'd say that your decision to stay out of this isn't mean. You're just being mature/masculine.

[Wendywu]

Phew! Thank you. I feel right - it's just that I've organised (and this sounds so odd) two weddings and two funerals now and she seems to think it'd be a breeze for me to do hers. But it'd be better for her to do this with her partner - and our tastes are so completely different.

So - thanks :heart:

[NorthernTigress]

Okay, the TV just switched over to infomercials, which is my signal to head for bed. See you in the morning.

[Jesii]

Morning alll....i can't find the list...(running off in early morning panic)...

Edit: my mum was really sweet and left a link open to the manga deck...thanks mum!

[Jesii]

Can i have the manga tarot please!!!!!!! It's on my wishlist when i cut down my list, i love the pictures so much!!!!!! sorry if i'm shouting i'm not really awake. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Sorry, i really love this deck =))))))))))))))

Jesii

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good Morning all!

[Jesii]

...i realise i have to go in about 20 minutes (unhappy) but i will be back (happy). Sorry if i rocked the train by bouncing up and down before, i will try not to do it again, but i love that Tarot pack (silly smile) see you all later, enjoy your german sausages and pretzals

Morning Seeker*13*

[rhombchick]

Oh well done Jesii! Nice pick :D

[Jesii]

Thanks, i didn't realise what it was at first! See you all later
xx

[rhombchick]

Hmm thread is awful quiet.....

I think I am going to make some cucumber salad with dinner in honour of the train theme.
I love how the whole house smells like cucumber when you make cucumber salad....

[Jesii]

I'm up, although off to work in an hour or so. How's station are we at I wonder (will go and see when I've posted this)

Also think we should break out some nice German wines, some Riesling perhaps?

Pathwalker x

[PathWalker]

It really is me - I went to bed last night logged in, and come back to find I've been undone! LOL
Sorry for that confusion :)

[Aulruna]

Good morning all - can't believe I m issed the Deck of Shadows by an inch - that will teach me to sleep late on a train!!!!

I thought we'd go visit some mythical places today - these are the Externsteine, a rock formation in Northrhine Westphalia, and Germany's most well-known place of power. Traces of human culture found there date back 12.000 years. Many myths and legends surround them.

http://www.nikonians.org/de/html/resources/nikon_articles/body/d700/images/D700_Externsteine.jpg

[Aulruna]

And here is a German breakfast which is more typical across all regions than the one I served yesterday:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3470/3866797141_3b889ae19d.jpg

[rhombchick]

wow! How beautiful!

[PathWalker]

wow! How beautiful!
The rocks or the breakfast LOL

Truly though, they do look amazing - must have a google and a read when I'm home from work.
Bye for now

[rhombchick]

The rocks....
The breakfast is similar to our breakfast, although instead of sausage we have Szalonna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szalonna_%28bacon%29)

[Aulruna]

I had forgotten about Szalonna ... love it!!

[Wendywu]

That is utterly beautiful. I must find info ........

Also - I like the look of brekkie. My brunch is on its way - bacon & egg sandwich (grilled bacon, egg fried in a teaspoon of oil) with cherry tomato salsa - yum.

Back after devouring ....

[Dusk Till Dawn]

It really is me - I went to bed last night logged in, and come back to find I've been undone! LOL
Sorry for that confusion :)
I noticed too that the order was changed. Now I am constantly looking when my Turn is, got the list ready, this is fast moving!

Aulruna, I would love to visit that place!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Hi everyone LL what a grand deck you offered, I would have nabbed that shadow deck too!

Been busy with a sick lil bear today so I'm off and on really; congrats Jessi on your pick; well done! :)

Going to grab a nibble of my own as I work around home today too, cinnamon coffees on for those just waking xoxo

Now where that duck pate gone in my fridge?......yumm yumm

[franniee]

sorry to hear about lil bear, GC I hope he feels better soon.

We have these big fat flakes floating down - so pretty! House is quiet. Demon kitty is keeping me company and jumping on everything! })

Silent Breeze should be up soon. It is almost 9AM here. :)

[Aulruna]

We have these big fat flakes floating down - so pretty!

Same here ... I love waching it! Especially now that I can sip on this wonderful cinnamon coffee ... GC, when you uncover the duck paté, please share :D

Healing vibes to lil' bear!

[Guiding Cauldron]

Aww thanks Franniee and Aulruna bears been sick the last 3 days and getting my girls back to airport was no easy task either, poor thing is just wiped out but is starting to at least keep a bit of food down as hes starving hungry!

No snow here as yet, although yesterday we awoke to some outside but it is brrrrrrr cold here, minus 5 at the moment; for a fire sign this is near torture! But I loved having the snow outside for Christmas :)

Enjoy the pate with all my blessings dears xx

[Shalyn]

OMGITOTALLYFORGOTABOUTTHISTRAIN!

Actually, I forgot what the date was. :blush:

So the first page says we're at LavenderLibra's - it looks like someone picked their deck, so have we trundled into the next station yet?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

We are at Pathwalkers Station now, I am next.

[Sientara]

We are at Pathwalkers Station now, I am next.

SilentBreeze isn't it?

[Stormdancer]

I thought Silent Breeze was next? She was a late arrival

[Wendywu]

I dunno - but I shall keep a veeeery close eye if its Pathwalker (remembering that somewhat yummy box of decks she acquired not that long ago.....)

Gotta go find a cup of tea :)

[franniee]

I PMed Silent Breeze - it says she is online. I'ld like to take a peek before we have to run out and go food shopping and all. I made a cool music playlist for tonight.

[Shalyn]

According to the list, SilentBreeze is next. Then Seeker. Pathwalker is towards the end.

[Wendywu]

According to the list, SilentBreeze is next. Then Seeker. Pathwalker is towards the end.


Thanks for that :) I'm waaay down the list and feel quite safe coming and going at the moment.

[yirabeth]

Good morning, all! It's a bright sunny -10f here, and I'm all toasty warm inside! The nice thing about these temps is the dogs have no desire to stay out and play, so I can come IN and play yay! hehe

SilentBreeze is next in the list, I just copy and pasted it to notepad so I didn't have to switch back and forth to check any more hehe. She'll probably be along soon, being on a train I'm sure she's sleeping in, you know the lulling sound of movement, rather like taking a baby for a car ride... :)

Jesii congrats on your Manga deck! My son got one from Santa for Christmas, he absolutely loves it! You'll probably love yours too :)

I may do some 1 card readings today, like NorthernTigress yesterday..I've never done 1-carders. So this will be a learning thing for me, getting all I need out of one card! I knew I'd be learning stuff on this trip :)

~Yira

[Shalyn]

Hi NT....
I wonder what say your cards.....
What should I try in order to obtain myself the complete set of twilight books at a reasonable price (under $50 after postage and all that drama) because I am at my wits end and don't have the $100 to shell out for a brand new set.... :(

While I have all four books (and would happily send them to you, except it would cost me more to send than it did to pay for them), this is how I read the Twilight Saga first. I've only read the actual book Twilight, haven't read the rest of them because these seem to have captured the whole thing.

Warning: some may find content offensive if you really, really think that Twilight is the next Great Expectations.

[LavenderLibra]

Good morning, y'all. It is COLD here..."up" to 13°F. I need to leave in 30 45 minutes, and was checking to see where we're at...oh man, I hate to leave ALL DAY, and not be able to check into the forum...or not see a list before I leave...

**crossing fingers***

I am sipping coffee, have fed the poodles, have one tired ol' boy draped across my lap....heater on my tootsies....

That picture of the stones was GORGEOUS. Oh, I would so love to see them in person. I love ROCKS.

[LavenderLibra]

Congrats on the Manga, Jesii! It is really pretty...and the box is so cool, how it is assembled. (Debra & I looked at it last month together.....really suits a Japanese-themed deck!)

[yirabeth]

Actually, if you don't mind digital, you can get the Twilight series for Kindle, and use this Kindle-for-PC application (free) : http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=ms_sbrspot_0?ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311&pf_rd_p=506553311&pf_rd_s=center-22&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0015T963C&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0JV1A9QWBMVFC7ACBHMR

The books are for sale here, you'd be able to download them in no time at all! The link to those are here : http://www.amazon.com/The-Twilight-Saga-Collection-ebook/dp/B001FA0PIQ/ref=kinw_dp_ke?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&qid=1262443946&sr=1-3

It is, in my opinion, quite a ridiculous price, for digital -- but you're avoiding all shipping :)

~Yira

[LavenderLibra]

Frannie, how is your back this morning?? :heart:

[Stormdancer]

Mornin' all...

I'm up...had a cup of coffee. Now my body is "twitchy" (probably should have tweezed eyebrows BEFORE coffee...LOL), but my mind is...UM...MIA.

...oh man, I hate to leave ALL DAY, and not be able to check into the forum...or not see a list before I leave...
I know what you mean. I am SO not looking foward to the mall experience! I now understand the "internet on cell phone" idea :D


That picture of the stones was GORGEOUS. Oh, I would so love to see them in person. I love ROCKS.
Pretty cool, eh? Once I am more awake, I'll google it to find out more.

[franniee]

Frannie, how is your back this morning?? :heart:

Better LL! :) Thank you.

It's chronic. Usually I can handle it, but yesterday it was beyond! I charged the heater thingy so I can wear it today (my sister got me this sharper image contraption heating belt).I haven't had to down any motrins yet so I think alls well. :thumbsup:

[LavenderLibra]

It really is me - I went to bed last night logged in, and come back to find I've been undone! LOL
Sorry for that confusion :)
I think she meant it's really HER posting about the Manga, and not Jesii, instead of meaning that she thought she was the next station, because:
Jesii is my daughter, and we use the same computer; so we can't both be logged in at the same time :(

..and she said she had to leave, so she's not here to see if all the above is a correct conclusion! :P

[The crowned one]

Good morning everyone!

Great looking spread there Aulruna! I am starving and need coffee :)

All is updated, someone mentioned the orders changing?

[franniee]

I am confused - Jesii picked the manga? Very cool that we have a mother and daughter duo. What did she mean she became undone.

Silent breeze should be up now..... actually we rolled into her station the minute Jesii picked. :)

[LavenderLibra]

I know what you mean. I am SO not looking foward to the mall experience! I now understand the "internet on cell phone" idea :D
Yeah, I know what you mean. I am so tempted, all the younger people at work have it, but I am whipping myself into firmness about it, because I don't want to pay extra on the cell phone bill. My inner geek would really love it, or an iPod TOUCH, where I could just pick up wi-fi.

I have an OLD laptop...I may either take it with me.... or see if I could sweet talk Quester into calling me if a list is posted later.. ;)

[Stormdancer]

I am confused - Jesii picked the manga? Very cool that we have a mother and daughter duo. What did she mean she became undone.


I think she meant the Jesii had signed her (pathwalker) out and she(pathwalker) didnt' realize it right away.

[LavenderLibra]

I am confused - Jesii picked the manga? Very cool that we have a mother and daughter duo. What did she mean she became undone.
I think "undone" means she got really excited, and forgot what she was doing, in her excitement over picking out the Manga. :D Kinda similar to what I call, becoming "unglued".

Yes, VERY cool. My one & only is on here, too, but she doesn't have as much time to participate. Too many irons in the fire, she does a lot of gaming, but we've been having "show & tell& when I get new decks...we went on a trip together last month, and I had a small suitcase, ALL with decks that she might want to look at. I had a nice cloth, that we laid out, and just kept the decks out, picked them up whenever we were in the mood, and played with them. She ended up with one that I had extra, was going to use for a trade/train...The Circle of Life, I think it was. She really liked it. And she has given me STRICT instructions on which ones for me to NEVER get rid of or trade. :)

[shamoness]

Good Morning All!
Mmm! That Szalonna looks mighty tempting. Is it very salty? My whole house smells like bacon as hubby is in the kitchen cooking breakfast for everyone. I'm still snuggled under the covers.

I can't believe the holidays are almost over! They went by so fast. My baby will be going back to college on Monday morning. Bummer! We had such a great time hanging out while she was here.

I can't wait to see the next selection of decks. Thus far the selections have been so sweet. I'm still musing over which decks to post. I have a special box I keep decks just for the train. I honestly don' remember everything that is in there.

LL, your tagline is so true. I wake up to that every morning. It is so sweet, and wet.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

SilentBreeze isn't it?
You are right! Me stupid! LOL

[yirabeth]

You are right! Me stupid! LOL

You no stupid! You's just still asleep!!

[PathWalker]

Jesii on pathwalkers account

Huh, i love the way we confused everyone. Sorry bout that, i picked the manga and didn't log out so Pathwalker posted as me and all got confusing. sorry again. it was bound to happen with us both on the same computer =)

yeah, i really love manga and so i fell if love the style on tarot...v excited bout my pack. still jumping up and down. just hopes someone picks from me now...!

do we have any pretzals left...?

[yirabeth]

LOL..and you just posted as Pathwalker.... /giggle Intentional or no....the world may never know!!

~Yira

[yirabeth]

Oh, now it says you as Pathwalker...I'm slow on the draw! Or fast, as the case may be :)

~Yira

[Jesii]

And then i wrote in the wrong account as well. Oh dear.

i wondered, for anyone who lives in Germany, if you could only spend one day in Berlin, what would you do? a freind and i are interrailing in July, and we don't know what to do in Berlin. Any ideas?

[LavenderLibra]

Haha, she just SAYS she's Jesii....or Pathwalker..or...

Maybe we are really dealing with a split personality...hehehe ;)

Just kidding, you two... my daughter brought up Hotmail on my laptop, and almost had a heart attack, til she realized it was ME logged in, and not her.

Gotta go out the door....have fun you guys, hope I don't miss TOO much excitement!

Have some good and yummy German delicacies while I am gone! (But save a little for me).

[yirabeth]

Jesii on pathwalkers account

just hopes someone picks from me now...!

Oh I sure know this feeling...I think the childish scrawlings on the Children I picked are just adorable! And not at all sure what I have will be wanted..hehe

~Yira

[LavenderLibra]

Oh I sure know this feeling...I think the childish scrawlings on the Children I picked are just adorable! And not at all sure what I have will be wanted..hehe

Oh, I KNOW, I was starting to get a little panicky!

Really leaving now.... :(

[Jesii]

I guess we all have something someone wants, we just don't get it cause we don't really want it.

I don't think we are a spilt personality lol i dread to think about that =)

Wandering off to do corsework again...will be back presently xx

[yirabeth]

Have fun, LL :) See you back on the train soon!

~Yira

[yirabeth]

And see you back on the train soon too, Jesii :)

[Queen of Disks]

Hello everyone, I am up! How is everyone?

[cardlady22]

Hello, everybody!
*snacking on the grapes and rolls*

Now that Shalyn has emerged, I think we've all shown our faces. I have shopping plans today. So, I won't be able to check back for a while. Hope the lists are quirky and inspiring for the Riders who will be here to see them. :grin:

[franniee]

gonna go out food shopping soon. Have fun you guys - I'll check back in a couple of hours. :)

[yirabeth]

G'morning, Queen of Disks and Cardlady :)

Enjoy the shopping trip, cardlady -- we'll keep your seat warm here!

~Yira

[PathWalker]

Okay, I'm home from work now, and looged in as me, so I hope we won't confuse you and us anymore :)

Jes has picked the Manga, she's the fan there, I'm excitedly still waiting to pick, and we will have seperate stations, although thinking about it I bet I have to pay the postage on her outbound parcel LOL

Going to grab a coffee, and watch for the station coming up :)

[yirabeth]

Oh, you enjoy your shopping trip too, franniee :)

What, is everyone insane here?? Shopping trips really suck..I hate em! LOL I do the majority of my shopping online, because I dislike it so much...This Christmas, I did *all* my shopping online, then took my son for a leisurely stroll through the local mall just for enjoyment, and did lunch, etc..we bought very little and had a fabulous time! (he said so too, so it musta been good hehe)

~Yira

[cardlady22]

I despise shopping in person, but the Build-A-Bear is such a unique experience for the kids. You literally design your new friend every step of the way. And the employees make up a special ritual for each child as you choose the heart & make your bear (or other animal) come to life! After you've purchased your bear, you can bring it back for brushing/fluffing, try on new outfits before you buy, etc.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Reading though this, made me all confused again. So, who is who, and which station is next? As far as I know: Jesii is Pathwalker and Vice versa? So, if Pathwalkers Deck allready has been chosen ( Manga? ) who is next now?

[cardlady22]

Jesii is PathWalker's daughter & they share a computer, so they have to log in/out.

[Stormdancer]

Jesii picked the manga from LavenderLibra... so now we are waiting for SilentBreeze to post her list.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

So, I missed a train... Ok. Thanks for clearing that up!

[yirabeth]

Jesii is PathWalker's daughter, but they got mixed up and each posted on the other's account. LOL They're back to normal now.

SilentBreeze is up next.

My boyfriend says it's official, I really DO talk too much. (I posted 61 posts yesterday... :bugeyed: )

I think that about catches ya up :)

~Yira

[yirabeth]

Hehe, everyone jumps to answer :) We need to get this train rollin' again!!

I'm so sorry - we share a computer, and only one of us can be logged in at once; so sometimes we write as the wrong person by mistake.

I'm Pathwalker, the mum. Late 40's, retail job, thre kids.
She's Jesii, the youngest daughter,nearly 18, at 6th form college, caught the Tarot bug from me.

So she chose the Manga deck, and I haven't picked yet.

So sorry for the confusion, and will try and not get muddled in future.

I think it's silentbreeze next, so I'm keenly waiting, but Jes is watching Star Trek :)

[cardlady22]

SilentBreeze's light is off.

[Stormdancer]

No worries Pathwalker! I think it is VERY cool that the two of you can share this.

[Stormdancer]

SilentBreeze's light is off.

So...what exactly does that mean? I NEVER log off here....does that mean my light is always on? Kinda wasteful on my part...

[cardlady22]

The few times I've stepped away without logging out, I do have to log back in. Is there a time-out feature on the forum?

And there is a setting where you can choose not to display your online status. Stealth Mode! })

[yirabeth]

It probably goes off when you go to bed..*g* I have mine set to log me in automatically, but I'm assuming it logs me out after a period of no activity, then logs me back in when I come back.

I hope all is well with SilentBreeze... it's noon her time..hope nothing is wrong :(

[PathWalker]

Laughing :)
I think you could probably tell us apart by the things we write about, but not our spelling, we're both dislexic to a degree.
But Jes is a film student, into manga and anime amongst other things, so will love the pack.
I'm a practising solitary pagan, much more into my greenwood and druidcraft.
I'm a veggie, she's not.
I JUST ABOUT drink more alcohol, but she's trying to catch me up :)
I'm a UK size 18, she's a size 8 :(

Oh, I've been to Germany a couple of times, she is going in the summer for the first time with a friend, on interail tickets; hence her question about what to do in Berlin if you only have a day.

Blessings to all

I think there's a box to tick when you DO log in that says to keep you logged in..I have never had to relog in since I joined, though, so I can't be sure that's where it is...I just know I told it to keep me logged in, at one point....

It's not in the Control Panel Options menu so I'm guessing it's on the actual login.

[Aulruna]

I despise shopping in person, but the Build-A-Bear is such a unique experience for the kids. You literally design your new friend every step of the way. And the employees make up a special ritual for each child as you choose the heart & make your bear (or other animal) come to life! After you've purchased your bear, you can bring it back for brushing/fluffing, try on new outfits before you buy, etc.

We ADORE Build-a-Bear ... we have a travel mascot bear, who was actually bought elsewhere, but the BABW stuff fits him perfectly. The employees treat him very nicely every time, though technically he is not a BABW creation! And he gets his "pawsport" stamped, too!

See here for some pics of Luc shopping the NYC 5th Avenue store:
http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/mypics/596698

(We did not get the Lady Liberty outfit though!)

[The crowned one]

Believe it or not I love shopping!

[yirabeth]

Ohh..thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot to respond to that one, I do talk too much :(

My kids are all older, and all boys to boot so not in the frame of mind for Build-a-bear, but one of my friends loves to go there with her daughter. That girl has more specially built bears...LOL

On the other hand, I become a Grandma for the first time in May..maybe when my granddaughter (they know it's a girl already) gets a bit older, a Build A Bear trip is in order! I wonder how old a child should be to enjoy such a trip...any ideas??

~Yira

[cardlady22]

Oh, amazing, Aulruna! I'll snap some pics of Fallen (pronounced with a short a-apple sound) and Jack on their adventure today to post when we get back!

ETA: My son adores the store! But then, he's an Aquarius with a truly unique sense of color and fashion. If they are old enough to speak and go to preK/kindergarten, you should walk them by just to gauge their response.

[The crowned one]

Here is some of the wildlife in and around my house, all within easy walking distance :) I live on a "spit" sticking into the ocean.

[The crowned one]

And one looking out of the basin towards the cascades in the USA.

[Queen of Disks]

Cute seal!! :)

I live in a suburban neighborhood, that doesn't stop us from getting deer, hawks, coyotes, possum, and lots of birds. It keeps the Rudy Monster entertained! :bugeyed:

[NorthernTigress]

Hey folks, I'm back. Just read through what I missed.

Congrats on Jesii for getting that Manga. It if weren't for the pipped Minors, it would have been mine.

Build a Bear is awesome. My husband and I each have one. I have Crystal, my snow leopard in purple t-shirt and mini-skirt. He's got Sarge, a wolf in an RCMP uniform.

That rock formation looks beautiful. Really awe-inspiring.

And for the record, I don't log out, unless it's by accident.

(There, I think that's everything! :D )

[yirabeth]

Those are awesome pictures, TCO! Did you take them yourself?

I live in a town that is on the banks of the Au Sable River and it's a "natural" river..no motors allowed, not allowed to take anything from it, etc. It's great to canoe on, I can see otters playing, and blue herons, canadian geese, etc.

I once saw two eagles doing their mating flight but I was in my car without a camera. I will always remember it though.... I was in my car, and had to stop or I would have hit them, on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere -- a welcome diversion! I think I live in one of the last really wild areas left in the United States...(although I now live *in* the small town that borders this wildness, I didn't at the time)

~Yira

[yirabeth]

And another lovely picture! I used to live near those mountains, when I was a young child. (I'm a looong way from home...) We could see Mt. Hood out our living room window. My mother used to say, the picture window in the living room is why they bought the house...the view from it was a living picture..hehe

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

Good Morning everyone. Had to spend most of yesterday night at ER. I think I had food poisoning but the doctors don't know.

Now that I'm awake. First order of buisness putting together my list.

[Queen of Disks]

Sorry to hear that, food poisoning sux!! :( Hope you are feeling better!

[Stormdancer]

OH MY :bugeyed: How are you feeling today??

[PathWalker]

Oh wow, we're sorry to hear that. Are you feeling better now? You'll have to drink lots of water, instead of all the mulled stuff :(
Take care, take your time
With best wishes

[yirabeth]

Good Morning everyone. Had to spend most of yesterday night at ER. I think I had food poisoning but the doctors don't know.

Now that I'm awake. First order of buisness putting together my list.

Oh my gosh, that's awful..you feeling okay now? Spending the night at ER is just not a great deal of fun.....bleh :(

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

~~Silent Breeze's Station~~

- Initiatory Tarot Of The Golden Dawn

[Guiding Cauldron]

Sorry to hear that SB hope you get all better soon and are as fit as a fiddle xoxo Nice list too :)

[SilentBreeze]

I'm much better today. They wanted to keep me an extra day but I signed myself out, since hospitals really mess me up. I can't sleep there are all, so I was going a bit insane with all that waiting. I'm glad I went though, I was really dehydrated and couldn't drink anything at all. At least I got a bit of sleep when I finally got home.

Something is wrong with me, I get food poisoning too frequently and from nothing.

Anyway now I'm more or less back to normal.

[PathWalker]

Great mixed selection there, thank you :)

[SilentBreeze]

I wish I knew some coding so I could make my station look pretty.

[NorthernTigress]

Boy, what a train. First Frannie's sore back, now a case of food poisoning. You take it easy.

[NorthernTigress]

I wish I knew some coding so I could make my station look pretty.

Here's my favorite coding cheat sheet.

http://www.phpbb.com/community/faq.php?mode=bbcode

[SilentBreeze]

There...now I made it orange.

[yirabeth]

I wish I knew some coding so I could make my station look pretty.

My dear, your cards speak for themselves, in a most enchanting way :) There is no need to feel it needs to be prettier :)

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

My dear, your cards speak for themselves, in a most enchanting way :) There is no need to feel it needs to be prettier :)

~Yira

Lol. aww thanks.
I have this need for everything to be pretty and colorful. I guess artist mindset.

[Queen of Disks]

I am going to work, I will see all of you later tonight! Have fun!

[shamoness]

SB, so sorry to hear you had food poisoning! Yuk!

The girls and I just took down the holiday decorations. The house looks so barren now. Looks like we will have to bribe hubby to get them up in the attic. He is not wanting to climb up the ladder. But no one else does either. I'm to short despite the ladder!

My daughter used to work at build a bear. It's a really cute place. But now I get a bear for eery holiday from Godiva since she works there now. My bears come with my favorite thing...chocolate!

Some interesting offerings SilentBreeze!! and Very Purty too :D

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Silentbreeze, your Station looks so cool in Orange!

[Wendywu]

We're taking our holiday decorations down first thing tomorrow - they're starting to get on my nerves and I want everything back to normal. I keep losing track of what day it is and I shall be so glad to get to work on Monday and have my normal routine back.....

But the room will look so empty for a couple of days :(

[Dusk Till Dawn]

We took down our Tree and everything today, and I am glad. Would have been weird with a Christmas Tree and the Sun shining!

[The crowned one]

We took down our Tree and everything today, and I am glad. Would have been weird with a Christmas Tree and the Sun shining!

Ours went down 2 days ago, glad to have my living room back :)

[shamoness]

The pictures of the wildlife by your home, TCO, are wonderful! How incredible to live in such a place.

Looks like we are going out shopping for some long sleeve shirts for my daughter to take back to Gainesville. It's 64 right now and everyone is freezing here. We don't have much in the way of cold weather clothes. I did find a sweater in the closet I can wear today. Yes, I did say we a freezing at 64! We are true Floridians, what can I say. Our blood is thin. One of my daughters is bundled up on the couch in a pile of blankets.

I hope hubby lets me use his G1 to check back here during our outing.

The new offering of decks is nice SilentBreeze.

If we get to the EuroDeli for our sausages I think some weiswurst will be nice with our Pierogies. Any other suggestions for sausages, Aulruna? Or anyone else? We are celebrating "Little Christmas" tomorrow instead of on the 6th since the kids have to go back to college on Monday. Any suggestions in the realm of German style foods to go with our Pierogies are gratefully accepted. Mom is bringing a cheescake.

[yirabeth]

I planned on my tree coming down today, but found something I need to do more, so the tree gets put off til tomorrow:) But, I will be glad to get it out of my living room too...

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

I'm really tempted to bring my laptop with me to work tonight. The only trouble would be, our store is just far enough away from all the public wi-fi networks to not be able to get a solid signal.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Here in Germany they celebrate the 26th also, usually I always get in a fight with my Hubby because every Year I take the tree down on the 26th. This Year he won. Next Year I will.

[Shalyn]

Oh wow. Nice list. And I'm sorry to hear about the food poisoning...but now, the year can only get better, right?

You know - I've been debating on the Golden Dawn tarot for a while now. It has always intrigued me.

I think now is the time to go for it. (Though the Old Path looks good, too!)

Golden Dawn, Please.

[SilentBreeze]

Oh wow. Nice list. And I'm sorry to hear about the food poisoning...but now, the year can only get better, right?

Golden Dawn, Please.

Good choice.

I hope it is a sign that the year will get better. Drinking lots of green tea now. Green tea is the cure for everything.

[NorthernTigress]

Yay! Another station. Who's next? (Runs off to check)

Looks like we are seeking Seeker13.

[quintessence]

Hi everybody, wow that sure was a long class I had this morning. Originally it was just to make one type of earring, but the class mastered that quickly, so the teacher moved on, and on, and on. Good info, though apparently I missed the last two stations. Nice choices, and good picks. Congrats to all. I should be home now for a while, and my station's toward the end of the line.

[quintessence]

Catching up on the posts I missed -- SB, so sorry to hear about your food poisoning. When that happens to me, green tea just doesn't cut it. I usually have to head for the Echinacea & goldenseal tea. It's really bitter, and I don't put any honey or anything in it, because the liver likes bitter. Around here the kids call it "dirt tea" jokingly, but when they get really sick they have no qualms about drinking it.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Uh! I am here, got caught up in our video Game.

The Decks I am offering are:

Sounds like a fun class, one you are happy to go over in :)

I'm being frustrated, I'm crochet'ing while along on this journey, and as luck would have it *I* get the one skein of yarn that has a flaw. There's about a 2" section of yarn that has a fuschia pink thread running through it...very bad if it's solid black... Because I'm doing spellwork as I crochet, I want one unbroken thread of yarn for the entire project.../sigh I was half done...

This is me cutting the thread and starting anew. :mad:

~Yira

[Wendywu]

Nice list Seeker - if I didn't already have a World Spirit (and love it) I'd be right in there :)

[quintessence]

The Ukiyoe is beautiful. Not on my wish list, but beautiful. Hmmm.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Thank you, I am a little worried , since it's my first ride here on a train!

[yirabeth]

Very nice list! Definitely some tempting stuff in there for those that haven't chosen yet :)

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

Thinking about the children's tarot...the artwork is so cute...haven't decided yet though

I think I might wait...bit too happy for me.

[NorthernTigress]

Thinking about the childrens tarot...the artwork is so cute...haven't decided yet though

That's the second time that deck has been offered this train. hmmm.

[yirabeth]

It's an awesomely adorable deck..I'm all excited about the one I chose from Franniee :)

~Yira

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Looks like the Ukiyoe Deck is spoken for Quintessence.

[quintessence]

Yes! I looked at it several times, and the more I looked, the more it spoke to me. Caught me rather by surprise, as I didn't figure myself for Ukiyoe art, or Japanese style, at all. Sweet!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I will include a copy of my LWb for you!

[yirabeth]

Congrats, Quintessence! It's a lovely deck.

Rhombchick is up next...I think Rhombchick is Aussie..it's only 6am there, I wonder if she'll even be up yet hehe.

~Yira

[SilentBreeze]

And the train moves onward...

[quintessence]

How auspicious! I just got through reading the review in the decks area, and it indicated there was much to be gained from the LWB. I'm very happy. Thanks so much Seeker*13*!

[PathWalker]

Just got out of the bath to read the list; Jesii told me it was too long to shout up the stairs :)

Nice choice there, it's one I recently got, and I do like it.

[Quester]

:bugeyed: Great choice Quintessence!!

[quintessence]

Thanks! I'm loving it already!

[franniee]

nice you guys! Some great trades!

Sorry that you were under the weather SB. :(

I am in and out. Chickie is off to my parents for the night and we are getting ready for our party. :party:

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Still checking in, playing Assassins Creed 2, love the Game...

[PathWalker]

Oh, gonna take that big risk,

and ask for the Lars-Kristian Holmsen Tarot please.

Thank you knidly, and pass the savouries please :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

just popped in to say goodnight, RC what a grand listing! I dread to see what I've already missed today :)

lol and now we move on, well picked!!

[yirabeth]

What a really nice selection there, Rhombchick. Several in my wish list, but I've already chosen (yay!) I'm sure yours will go quick! I'll be getting mine ready to go quickly..hehe

~Yira

[franniee]

nice choices Rhombchick! :heart:

[yirabeth]

Haha! In the posting of my post, yours was taken up :)

Brb with my own!

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Ummm. I just murdered a melon (cantalope). They make wonderfully squishy noise when you cut into them. })

Edited: Boy, you kill one cantalope, and you miss a whole station! I kind of wanted that Fairy Tarot.

[rhombchick]

Morning All!!!
Thought I would post my list before I got carried away with chit chat.
Thank you for the links Shalyn and Yirabeth. They both look great and will get me through until I get the real books in my hand, unfortunately, I am very old school. I love the tactile feel of a book, the sound of the pages turning, the use of an actual non electronic book mark...... I need the book *sob*
I saw the movie the other night and didn't really like it because the female actress recked it for me. She was so wooden and just ergh. I can see it being a book I would enjoy, but the movie was terrible (story line was interesting, the acting was horrid)

Good Morning All!
Mmm! That Szalonna looks mighty tempting. Is it very salty?

It can be salty. My dad makes our from scratch, so his tends to be a little salty. Salt is what preserves it and out here in QLD, in order for it not to go off, we need to make it in winter and use more salt than a Hungarian living in hungary would.
I totally disagree with that wiki link though, we don't completely saturate the bread with that grease. Yeah a bit is nice, but to saturate it? Ergh. But once all the fat has cooked out of the bacon it is delicious with bread and onion....

Anyhoo

Hope there is something on my list that is of interest.... now I need to go have my morning coffee before I fall back asleep....

[Guiding Cauldron]

sweet just in time for anothe rlisting before snoozy time weehee :)

[Guiding Cauldron]

RC pathwalker already chose from you sweety, you listings went lightening fast :)

[rhombchick]

OH! wow.....
That was quick!
Well done Pathwalker!!!!
I hope you enjoy it!
I didn't really gell with it, non-scenic pips and all, but I am hoping that you will love it...!!!
Hi ho Hi ho, to the next station we go....

But now I reeeeally need that cuppa

[Guiding Cauldron]

can someone refresh my memory what deck are these cards from?

[Jesii]

Pathwalker (mum) is going to bed now, but i'm still here!!!

[yirabeth]

The short, slightly frumpy woman stomps onto the train, clumsily avoiding feet and seats as she pushes her way past the occupied section looking for a place to claim. Finally she sees an empty row, and pushes in claiming the entire row for herself. She pushes the hood of her cloak back, her eyes twinkling in mirth as she hears the grumbles and half-silent complaints of the people she unceremoniously discomforted on her way through.

Digging into her overlarge handbag, she mumbles in annoyance as she digs through miscellaneous bits she has collected in her travels. People start to watch her in amusement as she pushes her frizzy hair out of the way and peers deeper into her bag. Finally she barks a sharp “Hah!” of victory, and pulls out a fistful of tiny decks. Placing one in each hand, she thrusts them forward. With a gleam in her eye, she exclaims, “Power in a tiny package, me friends!”




MINIATURE Fairy Tarots ( http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/fairy-tarots/ )
***AND***
MINIATURE Harmonious Tarot ( http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/harmonious/ )

Both Lo Scarabeo (Don’t confuse with other Fairy/Faerie tarot decks, check link if in doubt) for offer as a set, because they’re tiny little things so you need two to make up one whole deck! THESE COME AS A SET – ONE SELECTION ONLY

Both decks are new – the Fairy Tarots spent a few days in my purse, and was used for my lunchtime meditations (but not with food present!) so the box is *very* slightly dinged up but all cards and LWB are present and in new condition. The Harmonious Tarot was opened and glanced through, but not used otherwise so all cards and LWB are present and in new condition.(I took up an IDS...)

To enhance the deal, I'm including a hand crocheted tarot case, especially made for these decks and their new owner.(I'm making it now, as the train rolls...) I am using a single crochet to make a sturdier fabric, so it will truly protect the deck even if you pop it into your purse and carry it along. I am also doing spellwork as I do the craftwork, for additional protection/enhancement of intuition.

While I cannot use an "authentic" gem on the case, (I don't have any or I would!) I think the button chosen to close the bag will accept spellwork nicely. (after all it's the intent and power added more than the tool....) In the future you may wish to obtain a gemstone button/bead and replace the one I put on it. I will include the spellwork I've done, if the person who gets this set wishes, in order to facilitate that.

If you have decided to gift one of the decks to someone else, I can make a second case, but it will take a couple days. While the case is small, the spellwork is strenuous, so I wouldn't want to rush it and do it wrong. So it may delay shipping by a couple days.

~Yira

[Guiding Cauldron]

awww cute Yira :)

[NorthernTigress]

Yikes. One station before mine already? So glad I don't start work until later this time.

[Guiding Cauldron]

as much as i hate to miss any listings its getting late so i must be off, good luck yira and i hope to see NT listings tomorrow, peace and love xx

[Stormdancer]

Thanks! I'm loving it already!

Congrats!!! Great choice!

[franniee]

Yira my dear a :D

I am thinking I would like those decks. The thing that really has got me is the wonderful bag that you are creating. :love: It sounds so cool!

So count us a closed loop. :thumbsup:

Sinduction made me a gorgeous bag on one of the trains that I treasure - It has a lovely trimmed thoth and is in my nightstand! :love:

[yirabeth]

LOL Franniee that's so funny! I'd hoped they would go (mainly because I wanted your deck..hehe) but didn't expect it would be you :)

Would you like a second case? At the rate it's going I should be able to get both done by Monday or Tuesday. (Just taking my time, no misstitching etc on these!)

~Yira

[franniee]

LOL Franniee that's so funny! I'd hoped they would go (mainly because I wanted your deck..hehe) but didn't expect it would be you :)

~Yira


OH YES Please!!! :) No rush! :heart:

[NorthernTigress]

All these decks will come with the original box, but I will include a cloth bag (not handmade) as well if you want.


Da Vinci Enigma

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/da-vinci-enigma/

Beautiful images, but the system just doesn't work for me. Deck, book and box.

Fenestra Tarot

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/fenestra/

The colors of this one are so wonderful.

Froud's Faeries Oracle

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/faeries-oracle/

I really wanted my own fairy deck, and I found mine: The Oracle of the Dragonfae. So these fairies need a new home.

Spiral Tarot

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/spiral/

Another wonderfully colorful deck.

Whispering Tarot

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/whispering/

I'm really cutting back to my "must have" decks, so I'm letting this one go too.


Tarot of the White Cats mini

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/white-cats/

My "kittens" want to play on this train, so I'll let them. I feel so sorry about how I'm not giving them the attention they deserve.

[franniee]

OH I LOVE the Whispering!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Kat got me that one! Then I got a backup! :heart:

ETA I also had the spiral and it is a gorgeous deck - I probably shouldn't have given it up.

Great decks NT

[SilentBreeze]

I'd like to take the whispering tarot!

It's been on my wishlist for quite some time yay.

[SilentBreeze]

OH I LOVE the Whispering!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Kat got me that one! Then I got a backup! :heart:

ETA I also had the spiral and it is a gorgeous deck - I probably shouldn't have given it up.

Great decks NT

Guess we think alike...I think It went on my wishlist after looking at the one you had.

[NorthernTigress]

I'd like to take the whispering tarot.

It's been on my wishlist for quite some time yay.

It's all yours! Whispering comes in a firmer box. I don't think I had a bag for it, but I can find one if you want.

[Sinduction]

Well, we are just plowing through now!

And thanks for the shout-out for my bags! :heart:

[SilentBreeze]

It's all yours! Whispering comes in a firmer box. I don't think I had a bag for it, but I can find one if you want.

No worries if you can't find the bag for it. Yay I'm all done.

[Guiding Cauldron]

dang i step off and 2 stations have passed?!! Ak!

[yirabeth]

Wow this train is moving along fast! I was just going to say that Princess of Pentacles in the Spiral deck was lovely, and it's all gone now..hehe

Aulruna is our next stop, is she up and about, or has she gone to bed by now? It's kinda late over there :)

~Yira

** edited for spelling error

[NorthernTigress]

No worries if you can't find the bag for it. Yay I'm all done.

Cool. Now I can just concentrate on looking at the lists.

[franniee]

Guess we think alike...I think It went on my wishlist after looking at the one you had.

It is a fun deck. :thumbsup:

[Sientara]

dang i step off and 2 stations have passed?!! Ak!
I was thinking the same thing.

[Guiding Cauldron]

Aulruna is up and I dont wanna miss her listings but shes not listed as online either, guess im not sleeping after all! :)

Its nearly 11 pm here in uk and i think aulrunas an hour ahead of me, so she may not be on until morning.....TCO what do you think?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I missed 2 stations also.. Aulruna is still up? It's almost midnight here. Guess I stay up a little longer.

[yirabeth]

Sleep is highly overrated!!

~Yira

[rhombchick]

Woah! This train is full steam ahead!!!

You know there is a train on when I, self confessed facebook junkie check AT before facebook or even my morning coffee...!

And now I have that jetplane song in my head except it's:
Leaving, on a trade train, don't know when I'll be back again, don't know what decks I'm bringing home....

[Dusk Till Dawn]

YIKES! Since this is a German Train, this train shouldn't leave till tomorrow mornin. LOL . Because German People sleep at night..

[Guiding Cauldron]

[QUOTE=rhombchick]Woah! This train is full steam ahead!!!

You know there is a train on when I, self confessed facebook junkie check AT before facebook or even my morning coffee...!

Well that IS dedication, you are a better person that I! :) lol

[yirabeth]

It *is* going a lot faster than I expected....

Good thing I ran for dinner when I did, or the whole train would be waiting on me! I almost decided to go " a bit later " ...

~Yira

[quintessence]

Thankfully, not all of Germany is asleep yet, Seeker*13*!

[Guiding Cauldron]

ok i give in i was up all night with a sick lil bear so i gotta sleep, only so much this ole body can handle and sleep deprivation is not one of them lol see you all in the morning xoxo

[Jesii]

i might go to bed... i'm after A on the list...do you reckon i could sleep before i post...is this making any sense?

will go have suger and put in another hour or so

Jesii

[quintessence]

Goodnight, GC!

[yirabeth]

I'm thinking Aulruna is asleep already...we went through a rather large amounts of stations in a really quick time. She couldn't have been expecting that. So yeah you're probably quite safe to catch some Z's yourself....

~Yira

[Jesii]

'night GC

i have party rings and 'every number one of the 2000's in order', i will hold out for a while =)

[NorthernTigress]

It *is* going a lot faster than I expected....

Our "slow" trains usually end up going fast; and sometimes the Bullet trains end up being slow.

Hehe, sounds fun...I'm wondering if I should go buy a few decks I KNOW I won't want so I can join more trains..LOL! The whole idea is just a lot of fun! Who cares about the decks... hahaha

~Yira

[The crowned one]

Aulruna is up and I dont wanna miss her listings but shes not listed as online either, guess im not sleeping after all! :)

Its nearly 11 pm here in uk and i think aulrunas an hour ahead of me, so she may not be on until morning.....TCO what do you think?

I would not be at all surprised if she showed up...but you never know!

[The crowned one]

It is 3.12 in the PM here and the clouds are breaking up!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Our "slow" trains usually end up going fast; and sometimes the Bullet trains end up being slow.
OMG, Bullet Train, faster?

[NorthernTigress]

OMG, Bullet Train, faster?

Bullet trains don't have set stations. Whoever chooses a deck has to post a list right away.

[quintessence]

Well, folks, there's not much else I can do either way. I chose my deck and my station is way down the line. I've got the last of my company starting to pack things up to hit the road, so I'll pop back in before bedtime to see how you all are.

Sweet dreams Jesii :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Well, I guess I am off too. Good Night everybody! Have a nice evening!

[rhombchick]

Awwww :(
Everyone be celebrating.
I just narrowly missed celebrating the ukiyoe because once again I ummed and aaahhhhed

I celebrated my trade however by wrapping it up and getting it ready to post..... a bit early but hey, laws of attraction right? In my mind I've already sent it and seen it happily arrive, so now there is no chance for the dreaded D word....

Almost afraid to ask..but..what's the D word??

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Well, there's only a half hour left before I have to leave for work. After that, I'll be gone for about 5 hours or so.

[NorthernTigress]

Almost afraid to ask..but..what's the D word??

~Yira
Derailed

[yirabeth]

Yuck, you work nights, NorthernTigress? I'd hate that..actually, I worked nights before being a student, and I did hate it! hehe

~Yira

Yes that can be a killer;) I prefer traders regret... over hesitation remorse LOL besides I can always trade off a deck I receive on a train next go-around :) I can not trade off what I did not chance!

[yirabeth]

Ohh..derailed..yeah that makes sense..I guess my mind wasn't working because I couldn't think of a D word that applied LOL

~Yira

[Sinduction]

So, TCO you gonna let go of that VR on the next train? :D

[yirabeth]

LOL Sin good one!!

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Yuck, you work nights, NorthernTigress? I'd hate that..actually, I worked nights before being a student, and I did hate it! hehe

~Yira

Well, in mind mind, I work "evenings" or "closings". It's not too bad. ;)

My husband works nights. 4pm to 4am. :bugeyed:

[yirabeth]

Uggh, that's even worse..but it does kinda keep you on the same schedule so that's kinda nice :)

~Yira

[rhombchick]

:bugeyed:


A hush falls over the crowded train, those asleep suddenly sit bolt upright, bleary eyed and astonished. Several travellers begin little superstitious rituals, one throws some salt over their shoulder, another knocks on wood. Everyone stares at NT

You uttered the forbidden D word? Emphasised it no less????

Some consider backing away slowly, others' eyes start darting all over the room. A general panic begins to settle in

Let's all just have another shot of schnapps, a pretzel and forget it ever happened

What was emphasized? I tried to shrink the font size, but it didn't work! Besides, I was just educating a newcomer.

[Stormdancer]

dang i step off and 2 stations have passed?!! Ak!

I know, RIIIGHT??? *in whinny teeny-bopper tone*

[rhombchick]

Hahaha, the letters turned out larger instead of smaller for some reason!!!

[yirabeth]

Eep! My apologies all!! I didn't know what I was doing, please forgive me!

(But I couldn't see how you could be divorced from your deck...hehe It's just a separation you know!)

~Yira

[Stormdancer]

~Yira

Too funny :D

[yirabeth]

Hehe, the junk food was more fun :)

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Dang. Time to bundle up and head out to the bus stop. Have fun, but save me some of the good stuff!

[yirabeth]

Have a good night at work, NorthernTigress :)

~Yira

[Aulruna]

I would not be at all surprised if she showed up...but you never know!

*lol* You know me well, don't you?? :D

We had our traditional darts tournament with friends while watching the PDC semifinals simultaneously. Rooting big time for Aussie contender Simon Whitlock, who indeed won his match!

Am a bit baffled we've reached my station, but list will be coming up presently...

[rhombchick]

yay!!!

*does a happy slap dance*

[Stormdancer]

OUCH!!!

How 'bout a Happy Hippie Dance? :D

[NorthernTigress]

Ah dammit. I guess I can be a little less early for work than usual. :D

[Sinduction]

For Christmas I got a book on hula dancing.....

[rhombchick]

Well I can't actually dance... at all....ever........ but I can dance on the interwebs when it's in asterisks

[Sinduction]

What is that like? I was born dancing.

[Stormdancer]

LOL...I dance GREAT...as long as my skinny twiggy butt is seated in a chair. Hips and up move great...hips and down...um....EWWWW

[yirabeth]

Like the hag who presented my decks, I am clumsy..no one in their right mind would EVER want me to dance! I do the world a favor by not dancing :) But, it is fun to dance on the internet sometimes! *dance*

~Yira

[Stormdancer]

What is that like? I was born dancing.

WELL...it s*cks when I'm in a dance club :D

Really? Maybe it's because I began dance classes at age 5.

I thought everyone could dance.

[Sinduction]

If I were closer I could teach you. Oh! Why don't you search youtube? They have everything on there.

Is Aulruna gonna answer my query?

[Aulruna]

Does the Victorian oracle come with the book?

No, this is just the deck. Shrinkwrapped in a box, but no book.

[Sinduction]

K thanks! :D

[Aulruna]

So, there was a request for sausage recommendations. You've come to the right person, I LOVE sausages!!

My favourites are the local ones from Nürnberg where I work, they are spicy with lots of marjoram, sort of finger sized and are usually served under the name "three in a bun":

http://nuernberg.bayern-online.de/typo3temp/pics/db8ab088ce.jpg

Käsekrainer - bigger grilled sausages, often slightly smoked and with mild cheese inside, which will melt during the gilling process (technically, this is an Austrian specialty)

http://bilder.rtl.de/archiv/vox_ef/wissenshunger/20070514kaesekrainer_1.jpg

and of course, the classic from Berlin: Currywurst (with a ketchup-like dip and curry powder, usually served with fries on the side):

http://static.twoday.net/despudelskern/images/currywurst.jpg

[The crowned one]

You are killing me with that wonderful food!

[rhombchick]

* gets a paper towel and starts wiping the drool that has dripped onto her keyboard*

Mmmmmmmm
Sausages.
Love love love sausages!

[yirabeth]

Mmmm those look good...you guys have REAL mustard too, not that nasty yellow "French's" brand...I could go for that first sandwich right now, with a bit of brown spicy mustard!

~Yira

[Aulruna]

Well, all I'm trying to do is lure you guys over here for that live train :D

[The crowned one]

I have to go let the chickens in! be right back..:)

[Aulruna]

I also tended to my chickens right now ... virtual ones on FarmVille though :D

Tweaked my list and off to bed now.

Night everyone!

[Stormdancer]

I am REAL curious about those sausages with the curry powder on them...but I'm not too sure about the Ketchup stuff. Hmmmm

[The crowned one]

Delighted!! ATers make great neighbours...

Done!

[yirabeth]

Wow, somehow I missed that Rhombchick picked a deck..Congrats on that! I went to look at it after you picked, it's really beautiful :)

~Yira

[rhombchick]

Yeah it's nice. I've been wanting it for a while but somehow it always gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
Anna K is perching at the top at the moment.
I might sell some decks and raise some funds for that one. Not having it is driving me insane

[quintessence]

I was going to wait for the Anna K. as well. It's top on my list, but by golly, the ukiyoe deck just grabbed me and reeled me in. Now I can't stop thinking about it, and it is helping to put the fire out about the Anna K.

[yirabeth]

The Ukiyoe is on my wish list too..of course, so is the Children tarot...face it, my list is looong LOL. I'm a newbie collector AND tarot reader..hehe

Oh is it? ;)

[quintessence]

That was an interesting list, Aulruna, and thanks also for all the lovely photos of Germany and SAUSAGES! I wasn't aware of the Quintessenz Lenormand, despite my forum name, and I couldn't really see what they were like, given the photo posted. But the Demerotican was great and I liked the way the cards were presented on the site. Good, strong, German cards, aren't they?!

[quintessence]

Oh, oh. TCO you're not trying to sidetrack now are you?

[yirabeth]

Oh is it? ;)

It is indeed! My wish list on the forums only has 10 decks on it, because I figured it'd be silly to list the several hundred that I picked to put on my word document on my profile here..but yeah I do have a rather lengthy Word document...LOL Of course that doesn't include the ones not listed at the site (strangely enough, with that long list, I've seen a few not on it)

The ones on my wish list here I put there based on my newbie status, ones I figured I may be able to learn to read with (except now I'm doing an IDS so the point is moot hehe) Oh yeah and one impossible dream but hey, that's okay! I think it's fun to have something as a dream even if you don't think it'll ever come true. Dreams are good in themselves, ya know? :)

Oh I soo agree on that Demeroticon...that is gorgeous. I really DO think it's too bad I don't read German..I put the site into google translate, though, and those are OOP so that's okay too. But most dark decks I'm not terribly fond of, however that one while being labelled "dark" is just simply amazing :)

~Yira

[quintessence]

Funny how the concept "dark" means different things to different people. Some of the people in this area don't want anything to do with the Deviant Moon, but I love that deck and it gives me fabulous and often hilarious readings.

[yirabeth]

I've heard it's good..it's in my wish list. LOL!

Not sure I'm talented enough to read with it yet....I know these things take time, but I want time to be NOW, dangit! haha

~Yira

[shamoness]

Wow, great offerings and great picks. Everyone is going to be so happy!

I found a used Radiant Rider-Waite at the thrift store today. The box is a little banged up and there is no lwb but the cards are perfect. The lady at the store said there was another deck that had images from many different cultures but she couldn't remember what is was. To bad I missed that one. But I am happy with my find.

[The crowned one]

RRW, one of my all time favorite "work dog" decks...great for reading with, you can spill anything on it and it just wipes up clean.

[yirabeth]

It's always cool to find hidden treasures like that :)

I have a regular Rider Waite that was gifted to me by Nonny Mouse..love that deck, it's awesome :) It was used, and it just kinda feels really good...strong. (okay I know I'm weird)

Twilight Recap (http://community.livejournal.com/m15m/19551.html)


OMG Shalyn! Thanks for the most amazing belly laugh I've had all year (ok, so the year is only three days old, but still)
Now the only thing left to mention was the exact same facial expression she had during the ENTIRE movie.
My tummy hurts from all the laughing

[kittiann]

Well, I'm off to bed everyone! I won't be up til 10 or 11 New York City time, so if we come to my station early there might be a small delay :)

[Queen of Disks]

My friend shoved the Twilight book at me saying it was really good. I am afraid to read it, it just doesn't look any good. The movies just look terrible.

One of the Nurses I work with...a young one is insisting I watch the movie...she lent me her copy about A month ago...For a while I thought the dog had got it and buried it in the garden! I told her I would buy her another copy...but would not still guarantee I would watch it!

My son found her movie behind the TV..I was relieved not to have lost her belonging, but still have not watched it.... :D

RE: the Twilight Series....

If you're interested READ the books rather than just see the movies...

I've read all the books...and I look foward to seeing all the movies, but I think that the movies are not able to ...um...well...Y'know....movies NEVER live up to the expectations of the books.

That being said...NO...this is NOT another Great Expectations....It's fun, and I really enjoyed reading them...along with my kids. It was actually something to see as we were all kinda reading the same books at a time. My line was usually....
"It's your bedtime!!! Put down that book and go to bed!! *MoMMy frown*"
"HaHA...YEAH...oKAYYY" **teen smirk**

I really enjoyed these books. They are NOT "high fiction", but they are FUN...and I dont think the movies will be able to capture it all....but then again...seeing the book with real peeps on a screen?? Well

Books...and movies...are ENTERTAINMENT....I was, and still am...ENTERTAINED by this series.

All my humble opinion

[faunabay]

OMG!! I knew I was going to have a slow start to the train, but I miss the first day and a half and we're half way through - and almost to my station!! :bugeyed: Ack!!! I better get my list together and get my bu** in gear!

I am here for good now though, so I'll beable to catch the second half of this speedy train ride. :P Now I'm off to put my list together. LOL

RE: the Twilight Series....


Books...and movies...are ENTERTAINMENT....I was, and still am...ENTERTAINED by this series.

All my humble opinion

Point taken, perhaps I will give the movie a go. :)

[quintessence]

Well, it's after midnight here. I'm heading off to the sleeping car -- upper bunk, of course. Hope we don't take too many sharp bends along the tracks. Goodnight.

[cardlady22]

My sister (Sagittarius) likes the Twilight books. My nephew (Aries) liked the first movie, but despised the second.

I like Anne Rice or C.S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy myself.

[shamoness]

Good night my Friends. See y'all tomorrow.

[Stormdancer]

Point taken, perhaps I will give the movie a go. :)
I probably wasn't clear in my thoughts...it's almost midnight here. READ the books. I think the movies may be crap without the books behind them to flesh them out. These books are FAST reads....If you have an afternoon available you can read 2...unless you have un-cooperative teens :(

[Stormdancer]

I like ... C.S. Friedman's Coldfire Trilogy myself.
OOOH....hmmm...something to look for at my local library. I've not read those. Thanks...I do need ideas...ALL the time....cause i read ALOT...and really fast.

[rhombchick]

I am willing to give the book a go. The story line is something I think I would be interested in, despite many a protest that there is no story line to be found.
But the movie really was quite, umm, lacking...
Which needless to say will not even in the slightest prevent me from watching the next one when it comes out! LOL! Lesson not learnt!

But then, out of the entire series, the first x-men movie, in my opinion was the worst.

[Stormdancer]

bed???

LOTR???

HMMMMM... tough decision...NOT :D

Stryder....YUM!!! and the Fairy DAD guy...HMMMM

UM...NO...so...now I need to make a list of what I want from my local library. Is this something they might have?

Really, I DO appreciate these rec's...."speed zone" books are so NOT doing it for me.

[cardlady22]

Added a couple of authors above. I use the InterLibraryLoan (ILL) program a lot! And go for used books on Amazon.

[The crowned one]

The last piece of fiction I read was "Contact". I love the stuff, just do not have the time, have not for years. :(

[Sinduction]

I'm reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

It's all in preparation for my own novel. I have stacks to read. :D

I've never written for young adult so I needed examples to get a sense of wording and comprehension levels. Hope it works.

OK, I'm ready with my list now. Whew! LOL

And stormdancer....I just finished watching the Fellowship of the Rings for the first time in along while. I'm gearing up to watch the other two now too!! So many guys to drool over!! hehe

cardlady....I need to check out the darkangel trilogy myself. Sounds right up my alley.

It's going to take me a few minutes to get caught up, hope you guys have been having lots of fun!

I'm sitting here with only the light from the monitor, and a couple of candles, to see what is going on. (Came home to a blown out bulb, and hubs can't find another one to fit this lamp). One old poodle on my lap, one fat cat at the small of my back and the chair....I think I'm ready now.

No, I've missed Koontz's Face.

[rhombchick]

I ended up buying the ebook.... all six of them for $5, plus 9 books by another author, all bundled in the one.
It's not my prefered way of reading, but I want to read it and I want to read it NOW!

[Quester]

I'm debating Prince of Persia or Myst on the DS. Golden Sun due out in Fed, maybe? Helping my son with his new-to-him Pokemon Ranger.

No, I've missed Koontz's Face.

The first Golden Sun was a great game!! Looking forward to that and Sands Of Time!! Due out middle of January!! :D

[Stormdancer]

**Whew!**
I just jumped on the train...that door handle is COLD, and the steps slippery (it was 8° here already, and we haven't reached the wee hours of the morning yet).


I canNOT believe it is that cold for Y'all...that is just WRONG in the Grande Scheme of Weather stuff... :D

[Stormdancer]

And stormdancer....I just finished watching the Fellowship of the Rings for the first time in along while. I'm gearing up to watch the other two now too!! So many guys to drool over!! hehe



I am in the Climax of the 3rd....'splains why I am kinda MIA, Huh? :joke:

BRB...after Aragorn is KING....hunka HUNKA king :D

[Quester]

I canNOT believe it is that cold for Y'all...that is just WRONG in the Grande Scheme of Weather stuff... :D

The south isn't suppose to get THIS cold!! BURRRRR!!

I didn't like myst on the psp.

[LavenderLibra]

I canNOT believe it is that cold for Y'all...that is just WRONG in the Grande Scheme of Weather stuff... :D
Me TOO. It's supposed to be cold all week, I think the highest temp all week is going to be 31°. (we didn't make the high predicted for today).

There was a dry snow on the car when I left this morning...I blew on the window, and it flew off...just like the fake stuff in the movies.

Just in time for me to start getting out and going back to work Monday...and getting home at near midnight...

[faunabay]

I am in the Climax of the 3rd....'splains why I am kinda MIA, Huh? :joke:

BRB...after Aragorn is KING....hunka HUNKA king :D
Oh I just LOVE the ending when they all bow down to the hobbits!!! Makes me cry every time! And I love it when all the ghosts from the mountain pass come out to fight too!

I found myself crying through most of Return of the King! LOL Not all sad tears - just sooooo emotional through the whole thing!

You are just going to have to break down and wear long johns!! :D

[cardlady22]

Finally got those pics loaded. What a freaky shopping trip! That particular mall's parking lot has the most asinine designer ever! Anyway, when we finally got around to it, the bears had quite different preferences to what the original intentions were.

Fallen went with a cheerleader outfit. And she welcomed a new sister, Shiver, who loves to rollerskate. Shiver is a tad rambunctious and prone to take off abruptly, so we grabbed a leash.

Jack was considering a tuxedo, or a leather biker's jacket & 50's convertible car, but couldn't resist himself in the Clone Wars Trooper outfit. He also got a set of golf clubs, but ran out of $$ for the smart little outfit. B'day in about 3 weeks should see him clear.

[LavenderLibra]

That's the pain about work! It's cold outside...then I get inside, and get hot when working and rushing around, and end up having a fan on! It's crazy to be cold at home, and getting dressed for being hot! It just seems WRONG to be putting a short sleeved shirt on in January!

They are soo cute!! :heart:

[NorthernTigress]

I'm home! What did I miss?

[The crowned one]

LOTR great books and show! I actually went to the theatre for those...but I was a big Peter Jackson fan back in the day of his "dead alive" and "Totally gross" era LOL!

Loved the movie...the characters where almost all spot on. ..the sets were perfect...

Maybe I should toss a deck of LOTR cards into my offerings as a extra.... :D

[LavenderLibra]

Cardlady, I know what you mean about how the malls are laid out now. They don't want them to LOOK like a mall....so, you have to drive in circles and weave around, to find a store. You know what? That psychological doesn't work on me, as it makes me so irritable, I just visit less shops, as I've wasted so much time driving in circles and parking. You can't see the store names for all the shrubbery and whatnot. It's hard trying to concentrate on looking, while you're trying to avoid getting hit by other cars.

**rant for the evening**

[faunabay]

I missed seeing the Two Towers at the theatre and was very annoyed with myself. I did see the other two on the big screen though!!!! And I have the extended version box sets for all three too!! hehe I love those movies!!!

[The crowned one]

Yup, I have the same versions....Stand out emotional impact moment for me? when that beautiful, honour bound Elf dies defending us humans...

[NorthernTigress]

Giggle. For a second I thought this was a response to my "what did I miss?" posting. In train movies???

[rhombchick]

I was watching it when it first came out on DVD. After one too many strongbows, I demanded my friend rewind and replay the bit where legolas does that complicated jump onto his horse.... rewind...replay....rewind....replay.... you get the picture...

ETA: 'it' being LOTR 3

[The crowned one]

hmmm, I think I will fire up the boob-tube and toss on Lord of the Rings!

The breakdown of that scene is on the "box set"

[Queen of Disks]

TNT has got the LOTR playing right now (I think it's Two Towers tonight.) Like those movies very much.

[cardlady22]

I distinctly remember telling God that it was unacceptable (to me) for Him to let the world end before Tolkien had the chance to be seen in Special Effects Glory!

[NorthernTigress]

I'm guessing we are between stations?

[LavenderLibra]

I wonder how long it will be until Jesii wakes up and logs in?? :D

[Quester]

I'm guessing we are between stations?

LOL seems to be!! :D

[Wendywu]

I remember my parents got me a set of the books (in hardback!!) when I was 12. I have read them about once a year ever since. I am ooooold......

And the films were absolutely fantastic, wonderful and all I had ever hoped they would be. I made my son come with me and we watched them all together, and bought the boxed set and everything.

I still love my old hardbacks though ......

[Wendywu]

Well it's 7.15 am for me. Jesii is a teenager - judging by my edition of that species they don't get up over-early ......

[faunabay]

Yup, I have the same versions....Stand out emotional impact moment for me? when that beautiful, honour bound Elf dies defending us humans...
Oh yes, that is very emotional....I love when the elves come back to help the humans fight! But boy is it heart wrenching when some of them die after coming back to help us!!!

A similar emotional time for me was when....oh shoot, what's his name? The original human (other than stryder) in the first movie??? When he dies trying to keep Merry and Pippin from being taken by the Orcs!! :bugeyed: I mean 3 arrows and he still gets back up to fight them!!! And then they get taken anyway!! :(

[LavenderLibra]

Well it's 7.15 am for me. Jesii is a teenager - judging by my edition of that species they don't get up over-early ......

I guess I haven't grown up yet, then, cause I don't like it, either. ;)

It is 1:18 am here...so am wondering whether to go to bed NOW, or wait and go to bed LATER..... Since I missed 6 stations today!

Darn decisions.

[cardlady22]

Boromir . . . Sean BeanA similar emotional time for me was when....oh shoot, what's his name? The original human (other than stryder) in the first movie??? When he dies trying to keep Merry and Pippin from being taken by the Orcs!! :bugeyed: I mean 3 arrows and he still gets back up to fight them!!! And then they get taken anyway!! :(

I still love my old hardbacks though ......

When I was a kid, I remember going to my sister's apartment, where she'd read to me out of The Hobbit. One year, for my birthday, she bought me the LOTR trilogy in a box set. I was terrified. The books were so BIG. Eventually I read them (appendices and all) and I've been a bookworm ever since.

[faunabay]

It is 1:18 am here...so am wondering whether to go to bed NOW, or wait and go to bed LATER..... Since I missed 6 stations today!

Darn decisions.
I'm in the same time zone as you LL. I think it's time for me to get to bed. Hopefully Jesi won't get up too early though - since I'm after her to list. LOL If she lists and goes real quick I'm planning on sleeping late myself. :P But I will check in as soon as I wake up.

[Queen of Disks]

I am going to bed too. Goodnight!

[faunabay]

Boromir . . . Sean Bean
YES!!! I just couldn't call up his name!

I just bawl my eyes out when he dies!!! I saw an interview with him on the box set where he says they had to do his death scene right around lunch. He had to get all emotional while dying as they shot the scene from one angle, go to lunch, then come back and do it all over again from another angle. :bugeyed: He said that was extremely tough because of the high emotions being interrupted by lunch! :D

[The crowned one]

Yes! A great scene! Redemption!

[Stormdancer]

And I love it when all the ghosts from the mountain pass come out to fight too!


Just passed that part...WUB it...BUT I had to pause...Potty break...and then a quick check in here...

Twisted....AYup

:D

[Stormdancer]

I am SO way behind in this thread...Hey..
Aragorn and Legolas....

HOT guys vs AT

It's late...hot guys win...see Y'all tomorrow

:joke:

[faunabay]

Yes! A great scene! Redemption!
Redeeming himself right after trying to take the ring from Froto!!!!!! And then saying he'd follow Aragorn as his king!!! whew!!!

[LavenderLibra]

Nighters, everyone. I may sit here a few more minutes, then go to bed, and SET THE CLOCK so I can get up early!!!

[faunabay]

OK, all this talk about cool LOTR movies has kept me up later than I should have. LOL But it is now time for me to get to bed. See you in the morning. I'll check in as soon as I get up and see if we're still at Jesi's station or not. But I do have my list all ready to post. :)

Night all!!!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good Morning everyone.. Off to grab a real big mug of coffee...........

[The crowned one]

And I am off for second diner and guess what movie :D...

Good bye for the evening all!

[LavenderLibra]

I can't believe I just now got caught up with all the threads while I was gone!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Alright, I get it, you all waited till I got up, ( even set an alarm clock..) to go to bed. ROFL

[cardlady22]

*pouts* It is so not rounding out on 3am here, is it? I just know my brain is going to wrestle and then I won't hear the alarm clock and

I'm going to go stare at the ceiling.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I was up till one last Night. Waiting, and then set an alarm to only find out that I have missed a train.

[LavenderLibra]

Alright, I get it, you all waited till I got up, ( even set an alarm clock..) to go to bed. ROFL

You either got up too early, or we've stayed up too late and got caught, I don't know which is correct! (grin)

I'd like to try to get some sleep, and not miss a bunch of stations! I'll be here all day, because it is TOO COLD to get out! Tomorrow is my last day of vacation, and I want to enjoy being home, AND enjoy this Train-ride.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Yes, that could be. Yesterday, we were playing a Video Game, and within Minutes I missed two stations. LOL

[LavenderLibra]

...I just realized, one of the candles I've been burning is CHOCOLATE scented..guess what I'm craving now????

[NorthernTigress]

I'm joinng the parade to the sleeping cars. Goodnight!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I would love to have some post Raisin bran. They don't sell that over here...
One my second pot of coffee. Should be fully awake soon.
Yesterday the Sun was shining, now we woke up to a blizzard.It's now 9 over here.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good Night Northerntigress and all the others going to bed.

[LavenderLibra]

I would love to have some post Raisin bran. They don't sell that over here...
It's so wild to see things that are every-day items to us, and surprised they're not available everywhere. I haven't had R.bran in a long time...I get kinda addicted to cereal, and munch and snack on it too much, so haven't bought any in a while. And hubs only wants the junky kid stuff. **shakes head**
One my second pot of coffee. Should be fully awake soon.
I hope you don't crash and burn before I get back up, LOL!
I am looking forward to getting up and having FRESHLY ROASTED COFFEE BEANS. There is a place in Nashville I get my coffee, they roast their own, and I have been out for a while; but picked up a bag today! It's going to be yummy...I make mine with a French Press, so I may be bouncing off the walls tomorrow.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

That coffee sounds delicious! I got a long day ahead of me.

[Stormdancer]

You are just going to have to break down and wear long johns!! :D

LOL...for me it is 2 pair...all winter long :D

[Stormdancer]

Oh I just LOVE the ending when they all bow down to the hobbits!!! Makes me cry every time! And I love it when all the ghosts from the mountain pass come out to fight too!

I found myself crying through most of Return of the King! LOL Not all sad tears - just sooooo emotional through the whole thing!

Yup...YUP..just went through 1/2 box of tissues....all is GOOD in my world :D

...I just realized, one of the candles I've been burning is CHOCOLATE scented..guess what I'm craving now????

Co-ink-i-dink??? I think not...means you should stay up...we will pass chocolates...yup YUP

Although it is really past my bedtime. Now that Aragorn is KING i can rest easy :joke:

[Stormdancer]

Redeeming himself right after trying to take the ring from Froto!!!!!!
Now that I have a chance to read all the posts...YEP...I was thinkin' this

[Guiding Cauldron]

Morning all, just got caught up on all the happenings and my bear just awoke as well he seems SO much better today and is finaly keeping food down, thank heavens!

Aulruna Ive decided Im visiting you in 2010; when the weather is warmer, enough is enough we live so close to each other and I had no idea you worked in Nurnberg! Ive been wanting to get there for some time- but I warn you I eat a LOT of cheesy sausages they are my fav!! :)

LL I too had a chocolate and honey scented candle burning near me and I ended up eating down 1/2 dozen chocolate bikkies! Those candles are lethal, nah I just may have weak will power to chocolate kringles? lol

Whoever said the comment about long johns- oh I would LOVE a couple of pairs of those, the kinds the kiddies used to wear and I just cant find the thicker cotton kind here in UK, such a shame!

Oh by the way does anyone know what oracle deck these cards are from?

LOTR is a great read, I like reading better than movies; more details and all. Twilight isnt bad as a book but the movies I found to be lacking. Even my teenage daughter hates the Twilight movies she gets so annoyed when they blatenly change the details from the book. :)

Jessi nice listings hun, I'm sure someone will grab soon! I better get my listings to hand as Im not far from FB :)

We are getting fluffy wet flakes of snow now so pretty! :)

[Stormdancer]

Hiya, mum just woke me up and told me its my station so i am posting and then going back to bed...
Xxx

I am amazed...on a number of levels.

Thanks for waking up and providing a DELICIOUS list!!! :D

UM...sorry ya got woken up for that??

Maybe be thankful that you and your MOM have a similar interest. If I told my MOM that I needed to get up in the WEE hours for a "tarot trade train" she might just commit me somewhere...due to EXtreme ODDness....ROTF..kinda

BUT....I am SAFE...'cause I am OLD enough to be confused about just how old I am...which is not very old at all. If you're interested...read this thread (http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=116982)

And as soon as I am caught up I am off to bed...with MANY layers of clothes....and ....blankets...and..hopefully naughty NAUGHTY kitty will grace me with HER presence

[Jesii]

i have given up and admitted i'm awake.
i love the LOTR books, and films, i wouldn't want to chose, but the movie does have hot guys in...
i'm not a twighlight fan, but thats cause my vampires have to be dark, bloodthirsty and not very nice =0

AND YOU HAVE SNOW!!!!!! WOW!!!!! SO COOL!!!!!

[Stormdancer]

AND YOU HAVE SNOW!!!!!! WOW!!!!! SO COOL!!!!!

GOOD???? hmmm Do you shovel?? Inquiring MOM's and all that crap :D

We should be asleep...I KNOW i should be....*sigh* but the only chore tomorrow is take out laundry, AND american FOOTBALL ,....AND....AT trade train...... yep YEP

[Jesii]

I'D SHOVEL....I REALLY LOVE SNOW AND WE HAVE MISSED ALL OF IT and i just realised i wrote that in capitals opps, im going to go make myself something with caffine

brb

[Guiding Cauldron]

Its odd when you get to see snow on the beach too, not a normal occurance! :)

[Stormdancer]

I think I m gonna do a BAth thing....


And to bed

OLD ish

[Stormdancer]

Its odd when you get to see snow on the beach too, not a normal occurance! :)


OOH....that is ODD!! Pictures???

off to bath

:d

[Jesii]

OOH....that is ODD!! Pictures???

off to bath

:d

ohhh yes, pictures please, if its not too cold out there...

[Wendywu]

Jesii - could I have the Star That Never Walks Around please? I've often thought about it ....

[Guiding Cauldron]

well picked wendy wu, next up :) FB signed off 2 hrs ago so shes sleeping will check in later xx

[Jesii]

Yeah, hope you enjoy it =)
i'm off to do coursework and tidy up! strange for teenagers but still, my room is a mess
xx

[Wendywu]

Hey - it's the season, or else they put something in the water. My son and his girlfriend yesterday:

a) cleaned his car (inside and out)
b) cleaned out his room and :bugeyed: used the vacuum cleaner :bugeyed: <cue scary music> :laugh:

[Jesii]

I'm afraid of our vacuum cleaner, i won't go near it

[Wendywu]

Ditto .......

Ours is even nice and friendly, got a name of his own and everything but nope, something in me chickens out before I get to the On button..

Hey ho!! There's worse things than letting someone else do the house cleaning :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Nice choice Wendywu! We are going to build a Snowman today. Off to take a nice hot bath.

[Wendywu]

Yeah - I've looked at that one a lot, a train is perfect to experiment with a deck you've thought about but not been certain enough to spend any actual dosh on.

I must go and see where sells the companion book good and cheap (showing my true colours now.....)

[Jesii]

it comes with the book...the back cover is a little bent, but its barely used =)

[Wendywu]

it comes with the book...the back cover is a little bent, but its barely used =)

Darlin' - you're simply wonderful :)

It looks such an involving deck ... I shall be all excited now; I love that "interesting deck coming" feeling.....

[Aulruna]

Yup, I have the same versions....Stand out emotional impact moment for me? when that beautiful, honour bound Elf dies defending us humans...

Oh yes, Haldir leading the Elven troops to Helm's Deep is one of my favourite scenes also! (And I happen to think he is the hottest of the Elves, too...)

We will have such a blast! :party:

[Jesii]

Oh yes, Haldir leading the Elven troops to Helm's Deep is one of my favourite scenes also! (And I happen to think he is the hottest of the Elves, too...)

hUmmm....its a great scene, but i love it when they meet him the first time in the woods, and he says Gimli breaths so loud they could shoot him in the dark! I don't have a favourtie elf, besides Arwen. The pionty ears put me off.

[Aulruna]

Wow Jesii, that was SOME list!! Excellent decks there!

Congrats on your pick, Wendywu! I still use the method described in that book to read with round decks.

[Aulruna]

lol There was NEVER a doubt :) Just tell me when in the year looks good for you and I'll make my plans, Im SO excited and cant wait weehee xoxo

By the way I LOVED the xmas card the Elves are so cute I framed them for all year enjoyment :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Oh my, it's so quiet in here......... !

[Jesii]

Oh my, it's so quiet in here......... !

Yeah, everyone disapperaed! I'm still here tho, i'm avoiding re-writing my coursework...so i may be here for some time longer

[franniee]

I'm up. Demon kitty is in my lap making it tricky to type.

Just had a few strange and creepy dreams! I got stuck in thid underground garage and when I tried to go back to where I started the way was so steep I couldn't get up the hill.... I kept sliding down. I couldn't call my husband to help me - we got separated. I got scared! Everything was cement! wonder what it means?

Nice decks Jesii!! Nice pick WendyWu!

Party went off without a hitch! I think everyone enjoyed themselves. :) Good group of people. I wanted to bring that fun laughter and enjoyment into the house for the new year. My husband ended the night telling these goofy jokes he has on this app on his new phone. :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

The waiting. I am constantly looking in here. My Neighbour just threw a huge Snowball in my Kitchen. I had opened it to tell my Husband to help Sam to build her Snowman. Next Konxari Video I am doing, I am going to make him look worse than Alfalfa!

[yirabeth]

G'morning everyone! Another bright sunny overly COLD day here in Northern Michigan, good day for a train ride in Germany :)

Cardlady22, those are absolutely adorable teddies, and great outfits! The stormtrooper definitely looked boyish, I can see why he enjoys getting new outfits and stuff. I'm gonna keep this in mind for my soon-to-be granddaughter :)

Jesii, what awesome decks you posted, I really enjoyed looking through them! The one Wendywu chose was beautiful, I'd never seen that. When I first joined this forum I went looking through old threads and had read the one where your mother bought that basket of decks, what a great find. I bet it was awesome going through it!

Everyone discussing Twilight - I've read the books, and although they aren't my usual sort of thing I really enjoyed them. My daughter in law INSISTED and since I read quickly I decided it was easier to just do it than disappoint her -- I was pleasantly surprised. I won't watch the movie/s though...I never do. I probably watch less than an hour of tv/movie a month...I read, I play games (EverQuest II currently) with my son, I play on my computer...but I don't watch tv hehe.

I'll be on and off the train a bit today, I've put things off in my pleasure of this train and now I must do things! BOO!! hehe But yesterday I opted for fast food instead of grocery shopping (good thing too, since my station came up so rapidly) and I can't keep doing that...I need to lose weight not gain it! hehe So I must hit the store for some nutritious goodies :) Plus do laundry, and dishes...ya know, the usual thing that gets shoved aside for a train ride...LOL

Looking forward to more awesome tarot'ness to hit the train!

~Yira

[cardlady22]

I had dreams too, not bad ones but very busy/unusual settings. Today is the Jack of Spades! And yesterday was the Queen- which can devolve into hard physical-realm work.

Jesii, that Russian Magic Tarot looks fabulous!

Congrats, Wendywu!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good Morning! Yirabeth, have some coffee.

[cardlady22]

Seeker*13* I'm prepared to throw in a box of Post Raisin Bran if/when we mail to each other again. Too bad they aren't in the single serve boxes like Kelloggs.

[shamoness]

Good morning!
I'm awake but not out from under the covers yet. Seems I have developed asore throat during the night. I put on nice warm PJs and a nice warm blanket my daughter gave me for Christmas and I was so hot in the night my hair became soaked. Great. I'm just glad I don't live where it actually gets cold. Snow sounds beautiful but the temperatures sound scary. You guys actually venture outside in single digits???

This has certainly been a fast train! I can't beleive how far along we are. The deck pics have been awsome. Jesii, those were some great selections, I'm not surprised one was picked so quickly.

Cardlady, the bears are sooo cute. I just love the Star Wars bear. My daughter was given a bear for Christmas. Her boyfriend's aunt made it for her. It's dressed as a lumberjack. But we were dog sitting over the holidays and the dog got hold of it and chewed it a little. I can clean it up but it won't look new. Bad dog! She really was bad. Very aggressive, tried to bite us all more than once, attacked my neighbor's little boy, fought with my dogs. Not good. She is part Chow and very unpredictable and only about a year old. Her owners are considering putting her down. I feel terrible but she is dangerous. I couldn't take her because I don't think she is trainable.

OK, so who's station is next? I'm psyched and haven't had any caffine yet. Just wait til I do. Watch out!

[franniee]

faunabay is next - I sent her a PM but I haven't seen her - have you guys?

[LavenderLibra]

Morning! (still rubbing eyes). I have coffee in hand, the poodles have been walked & fed, so...

...where are we at? Has Jesii posted her list yet??

(I sat the clock....but just couldn't do it.... had to hit the snooze for about 40 minutes, total).

Brr! It's cold here! 12°F right NOW!!

**Edited....I missed Jesii...so I see we are waiting on faunabay.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Seeker*13* I'm prepared to throw in a box of Post Raisin Bran if/when we mail to each other again. Too bad they aren't in the single serve boxes like Kelloggs.
That is so very nice of you! That's the only request I have for my Dad when he visits. The brand I don't care about. There is nothing like it over here.

[cardlady22]

I wouldn't worry. Isn't it only 9am or so where she is? And we were all partaking in the LotR fest into the wee hours. I'm surprised I'm awake yet!

Jesii posted in #698 & Wendywu snagged in #710

[Wendywu]

Faunabay is the next station - I don't know what time it is for her ...

[Guiding Cauldron]

[QUOTE=shamoness]Good morning!
You guys actually venture outside in single digits???

lol I venture outside in minus digits as I have chickens that need putting in every night :) Its at those times I long for a nice hot summer!

FB went to bed 7 hrs ago so I expect her along any time, she did say she may sleep in a bit though so just keep your eyes open I guess :)

[Wendywu]

You have chooks? Ooooh - lucky you :)

[LavenderLibra]

[QUOTE=shamoness]You guys actually venture outside in single digits???
Brr, not I, thankfully. My wonderful husband fenced in an area in front, so all I have to do is open the door, and it keeps the little ones in, but the big boy can JUMP the fence, and go to a more "private" area in the woods. ;) (He's all modest, and very much a gentleman).

I think Faunabay is on the same time zone and I am...and it is 9:24 am here, Central time zone.

[LavenderLibra]

I am hitting wrong buttons all over the place...I don't think I am awake to a level to properly use electronic equipment. :|

[Sientara]

Faunabay is the next station - I don't know what time it is for her ...

If her location is correct it is 9:30am there.

[yirabeth]

Cardlady, the bears are sooo cute. I just love the Star Wars bear. My daughter was given a bear for Christmas. Her boyfriend's aunt made it for her. It's dressed as a lumberjack. But we were dog sitting over the holidays and the dog got hold of it and chewed it a little. I can clean it up but it won't look new. Bad dog! She really was bad. Very aggressive, tried to bite us all more than once, attacked my neighbor's little boy, fought with my dogs. Not good. She is part Chow and very unpredictable and only about a year old. Her owners are considering putting her down. I feel terrible but she is dangerous. I couldn't take her because I don't think she is trainable.

This is unfortunate as it's not the dog's fault...Chows are a "strong-willed" breed, and to have one you have to be stronger willed. You have to be willing to be the pack leader. (I owned a chow for 12 yrs, I currently own a strong-willed lab/giant schnauzer mix, shar pei, and *mutt of indeterminate parentage* All will "be the boss" if I don't insist I am.) At only a year old, she's infinitely trainable..but it would need to be done SOON, and if she went for a little boy, that's a really bad sign. My oldest one, the schnauzer mix, was "red-zone"(bit me the first night I had her) when I took her, and at 2 yrs old, but now, 14 yrs later, she's been the best dog ever..just have to make sure they know the rules.

I would recommend your friends see a trainer used to dealing with strong willed breeds,(think boxer, pit bull, dobermann, rottweiller types) if they truly want to fix her. After all, it really IS them who made her that way -- not that they intended that at all! But without FIRM guidance that they were the boss, she decided she had to be boss.

Good luck on that, I hope it works out the best for everyone (dog included lol) I know how difficult it is when the cute fluffy puppy develops into a strongheaded teen...and that's the stage she's at, now :)

Umm..yeah..in case you couldn't tell, rescue/animal behavior is my thing..hehe

Offering chinese nibbles prawn toast, prawn wantons, and veg spring rolls :)

Ooh, those veg spring rolls sound great! I love them with hot mustard sauce. Yesterday, I had vegetarian Indian food, and then Vietnamese Pho.

[Wendywu]

Goodmorning all! Too bad missed the first train of the morning, but I can't wait to see faunabay's list :). And I missed the LOTR discussion too.. I'm a pretty hardcore fan, I even read Tolkien's Silmarillion. Absolutely beautiful, but so many people seem to think it reads like a history book :(

[LavenderLibra]

Gosh your chookies are well fed :D

I had to look up what a chookie was....
I thought at first it was a particular breed, but guess not!

[faunabay]

OK, sorry I got a phone call. LOL

I"m going to put them up a couple at a time.....so unless you see something you like right off check back every 10 minutes or so. }) }) })

Good morning, FaunaBay! How cold is it in your neck of the woods??

It is cold, cold, cold!!! I think it's 9 degrees with snow right now! Our high is only supposed to be 15! eek!!!

[coyoteblack]

darn I was forgotten again. May I PLEASE be invited next time.

[LavenderLibra]

Goodmorning all! Too bad missed the first train of the morning, but I can't wait to see faunabay's list :).


I missed it, too, even though I am up abnormally early for a Sunday morning, and was up pretty late last night. (Hubby was finishing a chapter in a book, and I was laying there wanting to HURRY and go to sleep, so I could jump on the computer first thing! LOL!)

[faunabay]

I've got my list started everyone!! Look up!!!! hehehe

[cardlady22]

(((coyoteblack))) You can still hop on this one! I am so sorry. I assumed someone else had sent you the PM.

[LavenderLibra]

I"m going to put them up a couple at a time.....so unless you see something you like right off check back every 10 minutes or so. }) }) })

Oh, the TORTURE!!!!!!!!!

[Wendywu]

Tell you what CB - I'll remind you as well, just to be on the safe side

You jumped aboard? Still lots to go yet....

[faunabay]

darn I was forgotten again. May I PLEASE be invited next time.
I don't think anyone was specifically invited this time CB. But if you want next time I see a train coming I'll PM you and let you know. :D

You want to jump on this one? We're not down to the finally stations yet so you still can. Of course you'll have to wait for TCO or franniee to put you on, but there is still time.

[faunabay]

Oh, the TORTURE!!!!!!!!!
hehehehe

[Guiding Cauldron]

FB dont torture us like that! Slap that list up there :) Are you refreshing in eth same posting as well? That way I know where to look in 10 mins time!

LL Nah, chookies is just a name for chickens in general :) I have a heritage breed, and 2 rhode island red crosses, and a whitestar

[shamoness]

Yira, you are so correct! I have explained this to them. I tried to help them with the dog prior to this. I had an Akita who just passed in Sept. She was of course very strong willed but knew I was in charge. I also fostered a wolf and he was really something. He challenged my husband and bloodied him the first night we had him. That dog knew I was boss and rarely attempted to challege me. I have a Pitbull and a Keeshond now. Both stong willed but very loving.

I explained how my friends need to handle the Chow but they are just not firm enough with her. They did take her to a trainer but thus far they haven't been trained yet. I say they because it is mostly the owners who need to be educated in how to handle the animal. They are taking her back to see if they can get it together. It really would be a shame to destry her. My youngest daughter has said she would take the dog if it comes to having her destroyed. She certainly has the personality to handle the dog. But being a college student I don't think she has the money needed to care for the dog properly. I sure hope they can work it out. The dog can really be sweet but very unpredictable. I feel badly I can't take her. I'm the one everyone call with their animal issues. If I can't help I always seem to know someone who can.

[Guiding Cauldron]

CB can still pick cant he, he jumped on before the first go through, I recall TCO saying people could pick then he'd add them in when he gets on later.

[faunabay]

FB dont torture us like that! Slap that list up there :) Are you refreshing in eth same posting as well? That way I know where to look in 10 mins time!

}) I'll refresh the same list, but if it does go too long before someone picks I'll repost it as well.

And since everyone is whining *ROFL*.....I'll put up one more now. :P

Just so you know GC - coyoteblack is a HE not a SHE. LOL

[cardlady22]

})And since everyone is whining *ROFL*.....I'll put up one more now. :PNo strong-willed breeds for you, my dear!

[shamoness]

LL, I love Pho. Hubby makes it really good. Want the recipe? I'll post it later on the thread if anyone is interested.

[faunabay]

No strong-willed breeds for you, my dear!
(cackle) Actually I do quite well with strong breeds of dogs, it's the people that I'm a pushover with. :P

[Guiding Cauldron]

DOH! Sorry CB my apologies xx Thanks FB for teh clarification :)

[LavenderLibra]

LL, I love Pho. Hubby makes it really good. Want the recipe? I'll post it later on the thread if anyone is interested.

YES, that would be great! (I have often wished we had a recipe subforum in Off topic, especially since we have members all over the world).

[kittiann]

Ooh, ooh! I'll take the Etteilla if nothing's spoken for yet :)

[Wendywu]

Nice pick Kittiann ....

[LavenderLibra]

Ooh, ooh! I'll take the Etteilla if nothing's spoken for yet :)

Which makes you....UP NEXT, Kittiann!!!!!

[shamoness]

A recipe subforum would be fantastic! Is it possible?
I'll post the recipe shortly.

[cardlady22]

13 minutes! Wow! Makes my head swim. Along with everything else. :P
Have to run for a couple of minutes.

[LavenderLibra]

13 minutes! Wow! Makes my head swim.

I don't speak a WORD of German....I think I got on the wrong train at the Station...this one is flying!

**edited because I am not woke up.

[faunabay]

Ooh, ooh! I'll take the Etteilla if nothing's spoken for yet :)
Oh, well there you go!! It's yours hon! :*

And you all will have to wait until the next train to see what else I might have listed. })

Oh I sooo agree! The humans need training, and dogs being what they are, they fall into line. The thing with our "strong willed" breeds is they're closer to wild wolves (chows, shar pei, both considered "closest" genetically to a wild wolf, even closer than the husky etc that LOOK most like wolves) and hence ACT more like a wild wolf. Dogs like labs, etc, have been bred for centuries to enhance their pliability...good for someone who wants a meek family pet, but me? I prefer a dog with some spunk...someone I can rely on to have my back :) Lilah (my old girl, 16 yrs now) has stepped between me and harm several times in her life...

So yeah, in cases like this, it's the humans who need training...Your daughter may have a point. Sometimes money isn't the whole story, she may be just what the dog needs -- and maybe the dog will be what SHE needs. Something to consider anyway :)

~Yira

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Man, this train is fast!

[The crowned one]

And I wanna know
Who's gonna save me

Im not...Go FOR IT! :D

Really I would...that is a deck i have wondered about if only because of who it is named after!

Well, no matter what, I've ALSO found out it's a great way to get to know folks better, and how so many have this *bond* I've picked up on, when I first joined the forum.

((((hugs to you all))))

QUESTER, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

Quester is a sweetie, she and Debra are 2 of three I've met in real life from the forum....I gave birth to the third. ;)

[The crowned one]

Page one is updated and a large chain is starting to form!

[yirabeth]

Haha, my post count has really jumped this weekend due to the train..it's been a blast! But Equidies is convinced for good now that I talk too much...hahaha

~Yira

[faunabay]

OK, now we've got a bit of a breather I'm off to feed all the furbabies!!! I'll check back in later.

[LavenderLibra]

It looks like we may have a small break here though. I just checked and Queen of Disks isn't on AT right now....unless she's in stealth mode and not showing herself!! LOL

I think I see her light on!

Good morning to Queen of Disks! How cold is it up there?

[Quester]

:bugeyed: I missed The Wise Woman's Tarot!!! :bugeyed:

[kittiann]

Hehe, I need to be more chatty, then my postcount would finally get higher than 35 :P

Well, nevermind - it's already there! It's the magic of the train..

[The crowned one]

Sientara has been very quite! Are you about??

[yirabeth]

Well, no matter what, I've ALSO found out it's a great way to get to know folks better, and how so many have this *bond* I've picked up on, when I first joined the forum.

((((hugs to you all))))

Agreed...I feel like you're all friends now!

QUESTER, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!! :laugh:

Quester is a sweetie, she and Debra are 2 of three I've met in real life from the forum....I gave birth to the third. ;)

Are you really SURE you know the third??? *grin*

~Yira

[LavenderLibra]

Are you really SURE you know the third??? *grin*

As much as you ever can! :D

Quester, I was looking at that one, too, but it's all going TOO FAST!

I have a feeling I am going to be the caboose in this one!!!!

[The crowned one]

A tip to new riders: react, then think ;) in between chatting.

[Queen of Disks]

I think I see her light on!

Good morning to Queen of Disks! How cold is it up there?


Oh it's really cold! One minute on the list...

[Wendywu]

I gotta say though, TCO, that this train is faaaast! for a slow train..... :D

[Guiding Cauldron]

gosh zooming by!! i gotta check my rosehip soup though :)

[LavenderLibra]

I gotta say though, TCO, that this train is faaaast! for a slow train..... :D

Yes! I was encouraged to join a train last year, but was too bashful...and and probably couldn't have kept up! (Not doing much better now, hehe!)

I will NEVER sign up for a bullet! I am lucky this one was while I was off on vacation...

[Sinduction]

The bullets are easier.

[Wendywu]

ooh I'd sign for a bullet!! Fun :D Clackety clack speeding down the track and stuff....

[LavenderLibra]

i gotta check my rosehip soup though :)

I've heard of rosehip tea, and jam, but not soup!

[yirabeth]

Yeah, I think I'd have to do them only on holiday/breaktime too..my school course is so intense I'm wondering how much tarot time I'll have at ALL after next week, let alone join a train...hehe

~Yira

[Stormdancer]

The bullets are easier.

How so??

[LavenderLibra]

The bullets are easier.

Why are bullets easier?

[Sinduction]

Because whoever picks goes next. There is no waiting for people to wake up.

[kittiann]

Yep, it's vacation time for me here too.. I have plenty of time for Tarot at work, but unfortunately no internet; so I wouldn't have any luck unless I was off work.

[Quester]

The bullets are fun!! :D

[Wendywu]

Yeah I'm back to work tomorrow :( But only for the morning :)

[Sientara]

Sientara has been very quite! Are you about??

I am. I've been popping in and out. Gotta get the laundry done.

[franniee]

Just picked up chickie - she spent the night at my parents. So weird when she isn't home! :(

It is ICE cold out there (20s F) and the wind is howling!

[Stormdancer]

Gotta get the laundry done.

Me too, so as soon as the list is up, I'm outa here for a bit :(

Kids should just be naked:joke:

[Sinduction]

Didn't even realize it's almost my turn.

[The crowned one]

I am. I've been popping in and out. Gotta get the laundry done.

Good, I was a bit concerned you were either overly shy or not enjoying yourself... so all is well. :)

I will be right back everyone in a few minutes!

~Yira

[cardlady22]

My Bella Sara habit is tainting me! Those Magical Unicorns are gorgeous!

[quintessence]

I'm rushing to get my list ready. Hope this works, never done it before. I'm a technology dinosaur. This site has helped a lot, though.

There you go...

[yirabeth]

That's lovely, I'll have to keep this in mind for my son someday perhaps. He's really into the Manga art.

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Oh that is cute!

[Guiding Cauldron]

I've heard of rosehip tea, and jam, but not soup!

lol its kinda like a sweet and sour, almost but really yummy and ubber healthy during the cold season keeps your immune system built up nicely :)

I'll take the leftover soup and cook some chicken and pheasant legs in it and slow cook tomorrow for lunch :)

[Sinduction]

I totally lost my list!

[Sientara]

Good, I was a bit concerned you were either overly shy or not enjoying yourself... so all is well. :)

I have a tendency to lurk more than post. I will try to be more chatty.

[yirabeth]

Eek! At the rate the train's going, it's gonna be your stop soon..I know, close your eyes and grab a stack and that's the one??! HAHAHA J/K that's not a terribly good idea I know..hehe

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Found it but my handwriting is terrible. :D

Still haven't decided what I'm gonna offer.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Eek! At the rate the train's going, it's gonna be your stop soon..I know, close your eyes and grab a stack and that's the one??! HAHAHA J/K that's not a terribly good idea I know..hehe

That would be the worst idea! Unless you know where to grab. LOL

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Found it but my handwriting is terrible. :D

Still haven't decided what I'm gonna offer.
That is an easy one ! Just offer them all.

[quintessence]

has someone chosen? I'm as nervous as a wet hen. (Not sure how nervous that really is, but sounds about right.) Just tell me when to go ahead.

[yirabeth]

I think everyone is still Ooh'ing and Ahh'ing over Queen of Disk's selection, she has some pretty nice stuff there :) You still have time to worry nervously! hehe

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Well, some of them that I would offer have gilded edges now, that I did. So not sure that anyone would want them even though they look great.

[NorthernTigress]

Wahhh! I missed so much. Curse, you, Hypnos!

[cardlady22]

Do-it-yourself gilding! That I wouldn't have to get messy for? })

ETA: I'm starting new sub-collections:
trimmed by shadowdancer
gilded by Sinduction

[Guiding Cauldron]

gonna take a break all, see ya later and happy deck hunting :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

See you later Guiding Cauldron!

[yirabeth]

Well, some of them that I would offer have gilded edges now, that I did. So not sure that anyone would want them even though they look great.


Offer them, stating they're hand gilded, if someone wants em VOILA! they're gone, if not, they choose something else :)

Speaking from my own experience here, offering something you put your own handiwork and time into is highly prized. Mine went in a SNAP and I'm sure it was the handmade bags not the decks...

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Do-it-yourself gilding! That I wouldn't have to get messy for? })
I've gotten quite good at it! Practiced on regular playing cards. It was quite messy. :D

I'm a perfectionist, so once I did the edges, I had to quickly go through each and every card, front and back, to make sure it hadn't gotten on the actual card.

[yirabeth]

See you soon, Guiding Cauldron :)

~Yira

[Wendywu]

Wow - if you'd write out a how-to for that gilding I'd love to have a go at it - I'm just not sure what to do......

[LavenderLibra]

Guiding Cauldron, I guess it is getting to be evening there, about 7ish?
See you later!

[PathWalker]

Back from work, hello to everyone :)
I rang home earlier to make sure Jes' station went okay, but you really have picked up speed since then, wow!

And some great deck seletions, wouldn't it be great to be able to put tham all on a table together, and just play?

Anyway, got to take off the boots and the extra layers, and see what's what.
Pathwalker x

[Wendywu]

Just coming up to 6.00 p.m. - must be, I just fed the dogs ..... and you know what doggy tummy clocks are like :D

[Sinduction]

Gilding is so easy. The hard part is finding it in the colors you want. There was a thread in Talking Tarot about it.

[quintessence]

See you later Guiding Cauldron, and congrats on a completed chain!
Queen of Disks, you have such a beautiful list! I'm a humble beginner rider, but the views from the train are truly gorgeous, and this is "scenery" I might have missed otherwise. Time to blow the train whistle, "HOOT, HOOT!"

[LavenderLibra]

Anyway, got to take off the boots and the extra layers, and see what's what.

I think we are here (http://www.tarotforum.net/showpost.php?p=2125819&postcount=889)

[yirabeth]

Oh, agreed, Quintessence! My own portion of the train was finished relatively early, but I wouldn't miss the rest of the ride for anything! So many decks to browse and adore vicariously...

~Yira

[franniee]

The ornaments and lights and decorations are all put away..... now for disposing of the tree and cleaning all the needles! It is a huge mess!!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

The ornaments and lights and decorations are all put away..... now for disposing of the tree and cleaning all the needles! It is a huge mess!!
I know! I am glad I got that done yesterday, before I got stuck here. LOL

[NorthernTigress]

Ooh. I was ready to pick something at this station, and then I heard the word "gilding" from some distracting troublemaker. :joke: Now what do I do?

[Sinduction]

I doubt very much I will offer any of the gilded ones.

[Shalyn]

Just checking in. Need to go back and see what I missed and can drool over!

[faunabay]

Just coming up to 6.00 p.m. - must be, I just fed the dogs ..... and you know what doggy tummy clocks are like :D
Yes I do and I made mine wait because I had to list my decks!! :D

But we just had a bit of a emergency. After eating they both went outside. My older dog (12 years) with arthritis had her back leg cramp up in the extreme cold here!!! I had to go outside and help her walk in, then massage the cramp away! I put a heating pad on her bed and she's laying there now. :( Poor baby!! :heart: She's pretty much a drama queen anyway so she's milking this for all she can!!! LOL

[quintessence]

~Yira
Maybe it's just that I've been working a lot with Vision Quest lately, but I can see a whole "Grandmother energy" about those who have extensive collections that have gone into sub-categories. I just have "the kids" right now that I'm doting on, but their "kids" have spawned kids, and the energy towards it all shifts. It's really beautiful, and I would have missed the observation had I not been on this train. Thanks!

[NorthernTigress]

Okay, then I will take the Queen's Magical Unicorn's Oracle.

[faunabay]

Oh good pick!! It's a gorgeous deck!!!

[Shalyn]

OMG Shalyn! Thanks for the most amazing belly laugh I've had all year (ok, so the year is only three days old, but still)
Now the only thing left to mention was the exact same facial expression she had during the ENTIRE movie.
My tummy hurts from all the laughing

I'm glad you liked it! I hesitated to put it here, because there are people out there who think the Twilight saga is akin to classic literature, and get offended at this type of thing!

[yirabeth]

Okay, then I will take the Queen's Magical Unicorn's Oracle.


YAY! Congrats NorthernTigress! It's a beautiful deck :)

I hadn't thought about it that way, but it does make sense in a weird sort of way!! LOL I like this!!!

[Queen of Disks]

Yaaayy!! it's yours!!

[Sinduction]

OMG! I laughed so hard at it too!

[quintessence]

keep laughing, as I'm about ready to post my list.

[NorthernTigress]

Yaaayy!! it's yours!!

Whoo Hoo! IT's just so dang cute.

edited, not as cute as the faerie tarot that I missed TWICE. But still cute. :D

[Aulruna]

How come when I'm online everything is quiet for hours, and the second I turn my back to have a little coffee with my best friend you guys rack up 20 pages of posts and whizz through a gazillion stations?? :bugeyed:

[yirabeth]

Yes I do and I made mine wait because I had to list my decks!! :D

I know how it is...this weather is playing hell with my old girl's arthritis, also (16 in april) She's a tough old bird, but I see her having troubles coming up the stairs..I stand behind her and get ready to catch in case she slips...either that or she'll take me out too LOL! She weighs 85lbs..LOL

Aren't old dogs wonderful, though? This is the time that they get peaceful, and enjoy the simple pleasures, and are content to lay at your feet and just enjoy being near....

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Your list will be just fine, don't worry. :D

[quintessence]

Congrats, Northern Tigress!

[LavenderLibra]

But we just had a bit of a emergency. After eating they both went outside. My older dog (12 years) with arthritis had her back leg cramp up in the extreme cold here!!!

Yes, my old boy is 14, and I've been just sitting here holding him....just let him out, need to go let him in. He's paper trained, unlike the other one, so that is good, sometimes I just don't LET him go out.

[faunabay]

Aren't old dogs wonderful, though? This is the time that they get peaceful, and enjoy the simple pleasures, and are content to lay at your feet and just enjoy being near....

She used to run like a jack rabbit, now she just kind of ambles along. Although she still loves to play. In her head she's still a puppy!! :heart:

[Shalyn]

RE: the Twilight Series....

If you're interested READ the books rather than just see the movies...

I've read all the books...and I look foward to seeing all the movies, but I think that the movies are not able to ...um...well...Y'know....movies NEVER live up to the expectations of the books.

That being said...NO...this is NOT another Great Expectations....It's fun, and I really enjoyed reading them...along with my kids. It was actually something to see as we were all kinda reading the same books at a time. My line was usually....
"It's your bedtime!!! Put down that book and go to bed!! *MoMMy frown*"
"HaHA...YEAH...oKAYYY" **teen smirk**

I really enjoyed these books. They are NOT "high fiction", but they are FUN...and I dont think the movies will be able to capture it all....but then again...seeing the book with real peeps on a screen?? Well

Books...and movies...are ENTERTAINMENT....I was, and still am...ENTERTAINED by this series.

All my humble opinion

Oh, I never said they were entertaining. They are - quick read, fast paced, great for reading if you don't want to think too much (and I don't mean anything bad by that - Lord of the Rings is not a quick, light read, for example. Or Dracula, for that matter.) But I've heard people say that Stephanie Meyer is a better writer than Charles Dickens. And personally, I cannot agree with that!

[quintessence]

I may need a bit of enabling to post my list.

Poor old girl. Our oldest pet is one solitary guinea pig (who outlived her 19 companions and children). She lives on a table in the kitchen now, with part of her cage directly over the radiator... she loves it and spends ages snuggled up in her straw, in the little house that my husband made to fit in one end of her cage. Poor lonely Garbo. We'd get another but she wouldn't want a youngster - she's 9.... and another oldster, well - it wouldn't be her sisters and children. So we just pet her a lot, and hand feed her all sorts of salady stuff and veggies....

Nice list. You just need to fix the link for the Pirate Tarot.

Beautiful selection! I see most of them are on my wish list, too hehe. If I didn't already have such a good trade, I'd definitely be interested. I'm sure your list will thrill someone!

Those are very pretty. Good Choice!

[Wendywu]

Gosh - speedy pick there Cardlady :) Well done....

[PathWalker]

Oh, great list :
The link for Pirate Tarot is the wrong one, but I know what you meant, and I would have gone for that if I hadn't picked already - great fun deck but never got round to actually buying it. That's just the right kind of thing :)

Good luck, not sure we'll be here for long.

[LavenderLibra]

Holy crap, that was fast! :bugeyed:

[LavenderLibra]

Good luck, not sure we'll be here for long.

Right. :(

See, Quintesence, you had nothing to worry about! :)

I just finished LIST LIST LIST, and then it was all done and over with. LOL

[faunabay]

Yep, great list!! I love my Pirate tarot and I got it on a train too!!! LOL

[Wendywu]

That One World is very interesting - I'd not come across it before.

[quintessence]

Re: fixing link
No, she doesn't. One World for me, please!
One World it is, Cardlady22! Thanks everyone for all the encourgement...and enabling -- before and after!

[LavenderLibra]

I just finished LIST LIST LIST, and then it was all done and over with. LOL

Yeah, I was being all good, and previewing my posts yesterday....now I'm just slinging them on (and editing goof ups later).

[PathWalker]

That One World is very interesting - I'd not come across it before.
I have one in my 'for sale later' box.
PM me sometime after the train is over?

Oh that could be a song

"after the train is over"

LOL

[faunabay]

Yeah, I was being all good, and previewing my posts yesterday....now I'm just slinging them on (and editing goof ups later).
That's the way to do it!! But wait until you get on a bullet!! It can get even faster than this. :bugeyed: We had one that was completely over in about an hour!!

[shamoness]

I'm on hubby's phone. Mom's car broke down so we are trying to fix it. Nice list. I believe this train has had some fantastic selections. At this rate my station could be herebefore dinner time.

[NorthernTigress]

Now that I'm caught up, I can finally eat. More melon!

[Wendywu]

At this rate my station could be herebefore dinner time.

I don't doubt it. This train flies.

[LavenderLibra]

Now that I'm caught up, I can finally eat. More melon!

Hubby is being good, and not complaining, but I'll bet he wishes I was availble to cook! :) May be sandwiches for him, until this train ride gets to the end of the line.

[quintessence]

Whew! Now I can relax and finally have more than coffee!

[cardlady22]

Oh by the way does anyone know what oracle deck these cards are from? Back in post #701, you asked this. And bodhran answered in the Oracles section.

Good luck, Sinduction! Gilded or not, your offerings will be lots of fun to look at now that I can relax and take my time about it.

So is Sin still around??

I was going to go out for cold frame material...but I better stick around!

[Queen of Disks]

her light is on!

For starters....

Complete Tarot Pack (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sharman-caselli/index.shtml) (Burke) Two decks, one for you to color, and a book. Very heavy so I would like to ship it without the outer box.

Arcus Arcanum (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/arcus-arcanum/)

Pagan Tarot (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/pagan-tarot/) ~ deck only

Thoth in purple box, still sealed.


Oracles, any two!

Oracle of the Goddess (http://www.learntarot.com/ogdesc.htm) (Zerner/Farber) ~ unopened

Crystal Oracle (http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/crystal-oracle/)

Good Witch Bad Witch

[LavenderLibra]

For starters....

That sounds mysterious!

[cardlady22]

Salerno's Crystal Oracle is one of the most beautiful of its kind, people!

[Queen of Disks]

The Arcus Arcanum looks kind of interesting. May I have that one?

[shamoness]

Great list! Nice oracles. I might have been tempted if I hadn't already picked. I am very happy with my pick though. Very, very happy

I hope no one walks into the dining car right now. I wouldn't want anyone to see me eating cold pasta with my fingers. (Yes, I'm too glued to my laptop to go to the kitchen for the microwave OR a fork!)

You know, this is strange, I have the Arcus sitting right here next to me, all the others I listed are across the room. Too weird, it wants to move on! :D

[LavenderLibra]

Yup, just got back from kitchen, getting breakfast started for hubs, while him insisting he would fix something (junk).

I have him watching the cooking, that I got started.

[LavenderLibra]

I had my Dinner for the first time in front of the PUTER. LOL
That's AMAZING!!!!!! (I've been doing that for years! Ramen is a speciality!)

[The crowned one]

OK my list is just abou ready....here is a deck that you will not find a link to ( not that I am putting up links but so you can see them....)

Antique pack of 52 french cards, no box circa late 1800's

Ukiyoe tarot

Ted Andrew's "natures speak oracle"

Kat Black "golden Tarot"

Grail tarot box set

Leonardo DaVinci tarot (sealed)

ROTFLMAO...no kidding:bugeyed:

[Aulruna]

Natures speak please!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Just missed the Lunatic!

[Sinduction]

I held back from jumping on the Lunatic. :D

[Sientara]

ROTFLMAO...no kidding:bugeyed:
Case in point: TCO's station.

[The crowned one]

Natures speak please!

Excellent choice as Ted has moved on... and this deck is getting rare..

[LavenderLibra]

yeah, I was googling Ukiyoe tarot.

It pays to know your decks!

[quintessence]

Lucky Aulruna! I've got Ted Andrews' books and they're a delight, especially out here in all this NATURE!

[LavenderLibra]

I see the Ted Andrew's books and kits at pow wows, with all the other books!

[Shalyn]

OK - I see I'm up after Cardlady...but I'm going to go sew, so I'lll be back in an hour

[Aulruna]

Yes, I got his books too. The one faeries is my BIBLE!

Have contemplated the deck quite often recently, so this seemed to be an excellent opportunity!

[LavenderLibra]

OK - I see I'm up after Cardlady...but I'm going to go sew, so I'lll be back in an hour
At the rate we're going, do you think it's going to last that long?

Gee, I may have to clean house and cook, after all!

[quintessence]

I'm excited to see what Cardlady will list!

[LavenderLibra]

Yes, I got his books too. The one faeries is my BIBLE!I've not seen that one!

[Queen of Disks]

I have a couple of Ted Andrews books, (Treasures of the Unicorn, The Occult Christ) they are wonderful!

[faunabay]

I'm off to see if I can find a heating pad made for dog beds. :D Be back later.

[The crowned one]

Case in point: TCO's station.


I had checked your wish list....

[LavenderLibra]

I'm off to see if I can find a heating pad made for dog beds. :D Be back later.
Send me a link if you find one, that might be a good idea for mine, too.

[Stormdancer]

This whole train thing is just un-real! I am having so much fun just trying to keep up. I think I need one of those voice doodads that'll just record my post so I don't have to waste time typing. I have no idea how y'all do this when it's not holidays:confused:

Right now this thread is my LIFE!

[quintessence]

I'm off to see if I can find a heating pad made for dog beds. :D Be back later.
Slow stroking down the spine helps to improve circulation and relax doggie legs spasms -- at least it used to work for my 2 border collies.

[Sinduction]

Where is the next list?

Cardlady22 has been watching my back and has pointed out a clerical error :)

Many thanks to her!

Happened to me too, one split second, and the Lunatic was out of reach.

[NorthernTigress]

Because?????

Because Shalyn said she'd be gone for an hour, and the message was about 20 minutes ago. :)

[PathWalker]

Because Shalyn said she'd be gone for an hour, and the message was about 20 minutes ago. :)
Yeah, but she didn't really mean it, did she????

[Sinduction]

26 minutes ago! :D

[LavenderLibra]

Because Shalyn said she'd be gone for an hour, and the message was about 20 minutes ago. :)
Yeah, but I'm afraid to leave!

OK, OK, I'm back. Needed to stitch up a quick bag, and get pictures to send to the person who wants it to make sure it's what he wants before I finish it.

Now to get my list. And no, no tone setting. Just a straight list. Yeah, I know, y'all are disappointed.

I would have done some tone setting, but Farmville and Farm Town have taken up all my time this weekend. Oh, and Vampire Wars.

But if I never log out, does that mean that my light is on, but nobody's home?

Yes, and evidence that I don't have the qualifications to EVER HOST A TRAIN RIDE!!!!!!!!! :P

[cardlady22]

Evil? That is just an everyday Card..I lOve it!Does that mean I'm too hopelessly besotted with my own? Does he need more "roughing up" to feel like a Man? :laugh:

That's so true. I had a ball with mine on Halloween, did an event and it was all the more special with this deck. But I love it at odd intervals when life is doing The Moon card thing.

[LavenderLibra]

The Halloween is awesome. I mean, you got Frankenstien as the Emperor and Bride of Frankenstien as the Empress. Can't go wrong!
It's cute, it looks like a fun one if you were in an area that you could do it at parties and such. Love those black cats!

[PathWalker]

Now the hubs is on me to go grocery shopping, which I wanted to do yesterday, but no. He picks right now!

I think not.

My OH says - he knows where the shops are? He knows what he likes to eat? Let him go!

[Sinduction]

My OH says - he knows where the shops are? He knows what he likes to eat? Let him go!
That would work but then he wouldn't buy my stuff. We still don't share accounts since we aren't legally married yet.

So he'd come home with mac and cheese and no veggies!

[cardlady22]

My OH says - he knows where the shops are? He knows what he likes to eat? Let him go!Difficult proposition. Difficult proposition at best. (anyone know the movie?)

I can send mine with a list. He gets most of what's on it, but buys the larger sizes trying to get a good buy. It's amusing to see what gets left off.

[Aulruna]

The Halloween is awesome. I mean, you got Frankenstien as the Emperor and Bride of Frankenstien as the Empress. Can't go wrong!

Here is Burg Frankenstein - people have tried to connect it with either a mysterious medieval alchemist or even Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but to no avail.

That would work but then he wouldn't buy my stuff. We still don't share accounts since we aren't legally married yet.

So he'd come home with mac and cheese and no veggies!
Mine would come home with crackers, big hard bread, cheese, nacho dip and chips. :rolleyes:

[PathWalker]

Ah, more training neede then LOL
Like those hard-to-handle dosg we were talking about earlier, you've got to teach them who's boss :)

All said tounge in cheek, I wouldn't really presume to dictate the shape of someone else's life, just wanted to make you smile.

[Sinduction]

If only they were as easily trained! :D

[LavenderLibra]

Ah, more training neede then LOL
Oh, he'll eat veggies if I prepare them and hand him the plate...but I think the idea of HIM doing something with them is either scary or takes too long...
**he likes something that is quick and he can eat watching tv, when I am gone. ;) After 18 years, this is as good as it gets! :D

I remember seeing a "husband whisperer" comedy sketch once. Don't know who did it, but it was funny.

[Quester]

:bugeyed: Great list!! Tarot Of The Masters is a nice deck!! :)

[LavenderLibra]

Here is Burg Frankenstein - people have tried to connect it with either a mysterious medieval alchemist or even Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but to no avail.
GORGEOUS! I would love to have a small stone tower built adjoining our house. At the top, you could put a telescope. So cool!

[LavenderLibra]

I remember seeing a "husband whisperer" comedy sketch once. Don't know who did it, but it was funny.
I'd like to see that!!! LOL!

[Stormdancer]

Just added a few more...

[PathWalker]

If only they were as easily trained! :D
Oh, don't get me started LOL

[Queen of Disks]

The Halloween Hierophant is hilarious, it's The Mummy, and there are two Egyptian cats at his feet playing with his wrappings! :D

[cardlady22]

I'm reminded of how delighted my mother-in-law was to hear that I was an early riser. She was just sure I would rub off on him. HA! I say again with great indignance, HA! Now I sneer at the alarm clock and gaze in adoration at the Moon Goddess in her Starry Night Sky!

[Sinduction]

Crap, you added one that I've been on the fence about.....

[quintessence]

FYI re: the Halloween deck. Mine was asking for one of minrice's bags called "Purrfect Halloween" in her Seasonal Bags listing on thetarotphile.com site. But I didn't get it because a friend of mine was going to make me a special bag. That never happened, and now I'm hearing dreaded sounds of the haunted house coming from my Halloween deck. May have to revisit minrice's site soon.

[Sinduction]

I love my Halloween deck.

[PathWalker]

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/wisdom-four-winds/index.shtml

Oh, these are gorgeous

[PathWalker]

Crap, you added one that I've been on the fence about.....
Isn't that the idea?? :)

[Sinduction]

Isn't that the idea?? :)I suppose but I really find it quite ugly. :D

[cardlady22]

And we are all eagerly curious to see what you list, PathWalker. I just couldn't hold out long enough. *sniff*

[Guiding Cauldron]

at this rate you all will finish while im sleeping tonight! :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

at this rate you all will finish while im sleeping tonight! :)
I hope so! Just put up another pot of Coffee!
Just read while you sleep, I mean before we sleep!

[Sientara]

at this rate you all will finish while im sleeping tonight! :)

I hope not, I'm in charge of dinner tonight.

[PathWalker]

I suppose but I really find it quite ugly. :D
More detail neede there for me to really understand I think....

you 'on the fence' about a really ugly deck?

would it make you laugh?
would it make us laugh?

Tell me, do you feel lucky?

:)

[The crowned one]

I am off to work...This train may be over by the time I get back. Fanniee, if she is about can close her down.... Good luck everyone!

The rules are in place and no-one needs to choose a deck...no pressure, have fun!
:D

[cardlady22]

I'm guessing Sin means the Mythic??? (Which I adore, btw.)

[Guiding Cauldron]

lol coffee good, especialy New Orleans chicory coffee- Gosh I love that stuff :)

[LavenderLibra]

at this rate you all will finish while im sleeping tonight! :)
I doubt it will go that late! How long til you have to turn in??

[PathWalker]

And we are all eagerly curious to see what you list, PathWalker. I just couldn't hold out long enough. *sniff*
German or European decks, I told you :)

Anyway, you can always ask me nicely afterwards.

[quintessence]

The Halloween Lovers card makes great use of the vampire theme, and I really like the Temperance card, too, with all the ingredients on her witchy shelf!

[Guiding Cauldron]

I have a couple of hours still but need to spend some hubby time since ive been on here all day lol

[Dusk Till Dawn]

German or European decks, I told you :)

German Decks? .... European??? I wanna know!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

LOL! You would be a great Ebay Seller! Next time I do Ebay, I let you do my Auction!

[PathWalker]

I'm the next station :)

[LavenderLibra]

I have a couple of hours still but need to spend some hubby time since ive been on here all day lol
I spent Friday night watching several movies with my hubs....and since we work at same place, and RIDE to work together...well, this is my time!

My butt's getting numb from 6 hours in this chair hitting Refresh, LOL!

[Wendywu]

I have a couple of hours still but need to spend some hubby time since ive been on here all day lol

I just did that :) Back here again now, and holding a conversation with the poor bloke at the same time ....

[quintessence]

I'm such a kid when it comes to Halloween. Ever since I was little, we always did costumes, trick or treat, parties, etc. That's why I'm such a sucker for the Halloween deck. Though I'm pretty passionate about the rest of my decks, too...

[LavenderLibra]

I just did that :) Back here again now, and holding a conversation with the poor bloke at the same time ....
My hubby keeps walking by the doorway, grinning and shaking his head, "you and your Train!" :laugh:

[Quester]

My hubby keeps walking by the doorway, grinning and shaking his head, "you and your Train!" :laugh:

Isn't it nice to have em so understanding!!! :D

[LavenderLibra]

Isn't it nice to have em so understanding!!! :D
Yes, I was very worried at first, what he would think. But he's been cool with it (with what I have accumulated in the last year, I could not have hidden it for long, LOL! He says he doesn't know anything about it, but if I like them, that's all that matters).

[Dusk Till Dawn]

My hubby keeps walking by the doorway, grinning and shaking his head, "you and your Train!" :laugh:
My Hubby sits alone in the Living room, waiting for me, he doesn't even want to play his game tonight. Sam is running around too. Gotta keep them both in a good mood, while I watch this space.

[Guiding Cauldron]

lol i just went downstairs to check on him and hes watching his comedy shows that just do nothing for me so Im back on here after giving him a quick cuddle and smooch :)

[NorthernTigress]

Since I spend a lot of time online anyway, my hubby hardly knows the difference when it's Train Time.

[Quester]

[Stormdancer]

Thanks guys, but I think everybody's waiting to see what Pathwalker puts up...that was a REALLY BIG box she got...LOL

[NorthernTigress]

where are the people who still need to chose?

[Sientara]

where are the people who still need to chose?

Being indecisive.

[cardlady22]

where are the people who still need to chose?Seeker*13* ~ Sinduction, Sientara, LavendarLibra

They can think about it for 12 hours from the Station List post.

[Sinduction]

Trying to find a site that shows all of the Cachet... :D

[NorthernTigress]

Seeker*13* ~ Sinduction, Sientara, LavendarLibra

They can think about it for 12 hours from the Station List post.

True. But it does get kind of nail-biting near the end of a train. Sorry.

[cardlady22]

Cachet is beautiful! Publisher is Top That! in CA. I'm looking.

[NorthernTigress]

My tv has been on the weather channel for half an hour because I've been too focused to change it.

[Wendywu]

I trimmed my Cachet and it looks so much warmer and better. I'd been going to sell it but Fanu produced a link to scans that made me look at it again .... I didn't sell it :D

[Stormdancer]

They can think about it for 12 hours from the Station List post.

Since the original post, right?? #1112 (http://www.tarotforum.net/showpost.php?p=2126246&postcount=1112)

[Sinduction]

I have their small kit, the purple one. Not sure if the cards are the same, I shall check.

Yes, they are the same. Only smaller.

[Wendywu]

I must go now - I have a shockingly early start (about 5.00 a.m.) and need to get some sleep. Still gotta have a bath and sort out clothes for the morning (too bleary to do that first thing lol)

I bet this darn train finishes while I'm sleeping!!!

[LavenderLibra]

where are the people who still need to chose?I have:
Put on a panful of sweet potatoes to bake
Folded bath towels
Put on an extra large load of clothes on to wash
Walked the dogs
Got a big glass of juice to drink

And Googling. ;)

[Stormdancer]

Okay...I'm off for that nap I missed and hour or so ago. Be back later....

~~~snooze~~~

[Sinduction]

I wonder if I should run out to get groceries but fear missing Pathwalker's post!

[Guiding Cauldron]

great lsitings hun, im sure someone will choose :) Have a great night all im off xoxo

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Has it ever happened that one didn't get to choose a deck?

[NorthernTigress]

I have:
Put on a panful of sweet potatoes to bake
Folded bath towels
Put on an extra large load of clothes on to wash
Walked the dogs
Got a big glass of juice to drink

And Googling. ;)
Okay, you are forgiven, but only if you share those sweet potatoes. :joke:

[LavenderLibra]

Okay, you are forgiven, but only if you share those sweet potatoes. :joke:
Done! :) These are homegrown in Va, VERY dark & rich in color-I only wish the store had not been out of turnip greens to serve along side. (I am going to use these to pack in my lunch to take to work this week; I'll have to get in the kitchen soon to get some other things started for that, also. I'm vegetarian, my hubs is not, and so I pack different things for the both of us.)

[quintessence]

I'm about to do a list similar to LL's, and get ready for a busy day at work tomorrow, so I'll check back in later. Best wishes for fun selections!

[cardlady22]

Has it ever happened that one didn't get to choose a deck?Well, all stations get a chance to be posted. If someone does not choose, then the station gets moved for a 2nd Round at the end of the last person.

[NorthernTigress]

Has it ever happened that one didn't get to choose a deck?
we don't talk about that.

Seriously it does happen. If one deck doesn't go through, that's when everyone starts scrambling for private trades.

[cardlady22]

Sorry that I couldn't get a clearer shot, but my battery went out on me just after I snapped this!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

we don't talk about that.

Seriously it does happen. If one deck doesn't go through, that's when everyone starts scrambling for private trades.
Ok thanks. It's just getting late here, and I am afraid this ends without me beeing there.

[cardlady22]

If you were the last one who still needed to pick, then the last Station would not end until you had gotten back online and saw the list to say yea or nay to the selection.

[Sinduction]

Who is left to see this station?

[cardlady22]

All 4 who have not picked have seen it.

[Sinduction]

Crap.

[Sientara]

I'll take the Dance of Life. I've been waffling on it long enough.

[Quester]

Great choice Sientara!!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I recently got mine! And I really like them! Excellent choice!

[Sinduction]

Haha! I was just looking at those! :D

[Quester]

PathWalker's turn...then me?? :D

[LavenderLibra]

I'll take the Dance of Life. I've been waffling on it long enough.
Looks great!

[rhombchick]

WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhahahahahahahahah

Go to sleep and I've missed a lot of Germany. So many stations wizzed by that I didn't get to see anything!

There is a puddle collecting at my feet of tears I have shed over missing the BBC second edition.
I am glad that I had already chosen AND I was asleep, so if I hadn't already chosen at least I am safe knowing that I would have missed it anyway..... if that makes any sense

Serves me right staying up until 2am reading the twilight e-book....
I wonder why Edward hardly talks in the movie but can't seem to shut up in the book....

[PathWalker]

Edit to add.......Wrote this, not knowing that THE CHOICE was happening whilst I was doing it LOL
Doesn't make much sense unless you know that. Thought folks were heart-searching over possible treasures to come...



Okay, it's aproaching 10 pm here, and I've another day at work tomorrow (after 8 hours toady) so I'm going to bed very soon.

If anyone thinks I've got a hundred rare decks to trade on the train I can say right now I haven't :)
Jes and I kept quite a lot, and some will be for sale later this year probably (got to give my OH his money back LOL).

I'm honestly going to post a couple of German decks that were in the box, and are not in my or Jes' profile (if you really need to work out what might be there), and a couple of others from Europe I thought folks might like. Nothing USA this train for me.
I don't thnk any of it is outragously valuable or anything, although maybe a bit hard to find?

But like I said much earlier on the train in another context, it's not about the value, it's about trying something you hope you'll love. So if you think you might love something from another station, go for it. There's always another train :)

I'm here til the top of the hour, and then away for about 9 hours ( i hope)

Have fun everyone

Pathwalker

[Sinduction]

So, are you going to post it?

[PathWalker]

Spent so long writing that little diatribe, someone picked LOL

Hope you love it :)

My station is coming round the bend......

[cardlady22]

*handing out low-dose Valium*

[PathWalker]

Well wow, I don’t know what to say :(

I really thought that was a good selection, a bit of fun, and things folks might like to try.

Other decks I have for trade, which I didn’t think were so in keeping with the train theme, but might appeal and are still all European based:


Merlin Tarot – RJ Stewart
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/merlin/index.shtml#cards

along his own unique lines, but have some lovely illustrations, and might interest someone.


Karma Tarot - Birgit Boline Erfurt (US Games printed, but Danish in inspiration)
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/karma/review.shtml


Olympus Cards – Murry Hope. An oracle, not tarot, but I like her work (I have a copy of this already)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-Self-discovery-Archetypes-Murry-Hope/dp/1855380684


Ship of Fools – Brian Williams – another one I already have a copy of, makes me laugh when I use it, but gets to the point.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/ship-of-fools/


Visconti Tarot – the A A Atanassov version, boxed with book.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/visconti/


If this doesn’t interest someone then I’m real sorry guys.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

*handing out low-dose Valium*

I just got this one this week....really like the floral border, it suits the deck well, I think.

Yeah, I'm waiting for a Baroque Bohemian Dogs Tarot. ;)

[cardlady22]

Not sure what/how, but your links were just going to the Search page at TarotGarden. It's cool! I like clicking around.

[Sinduction]

Cardlady knows her cards!! :laugh:

[Sinduction]

So only two left after this one? This went fast.

[cardlady22]

No, cardlady just keeps tabs on a couple of Fundamentally Indispensable Sites that have marvelous people who have already done the work! :laugh:

[PathWalker]

Going to sleep now , see you guys in the morning, have the coffee hot :)

[Sinduction]

No Tarot of the Dead this train, so far at least! :D

[NorthernTigress]

Anyone want some single-card drawings to release the tension?

[Sinduction]

How about, what are the chances of this train doing a you-know-what?

[Quester]

How about, what are the chances of this train doing a you-know-what?

You can almost feel it.. can't ya!! :laugh:

[Dusk Till Dawn]

What is the you know what? LOL

[Sinduction]

I would be freaking if I was this close to the VR. Good thing TCO isn't here to witness. I'd be a mess!

[Sinduction]

What is the you know what? LOLHaha! Now I don't want to type it!!

We won't tell.....SHHHHHH

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Let's see, it rhymes with email! :D
derail? what happens then, maybe no one picks for 12 hours?

[NorthernTigress]

How about, what are the chances of this train doing a you-know-what?

Legacy of the Divine: The Wheel

This is a very unique Wheel card, in that the Fool is actually on the wheel. Four different versions of the Fool, all of them holding on very acrobatically. On the wheel are the four suit symbols. One of the Fools is reaching out to the top, which has the Coin symbol.

I'd say that this train will turn out okay, but it won't be easy!

[LavenderLibra]

Jeeze, hubs keeps hollering for my help....he's up on a ladder, with a drill...

[Sinduction]

No, it means anyone not in a closed loop is out of luck.

All those trades go bye bye.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

How many are left of us, 3? I won't be staying on very much longer.

[Sinduction]

You, Me, and LavenderLibra.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Well, I guess it's going to be a hard one.

[cardlady22]

I'd say that this train will turn out okay, but it won't be easy!Define easy. I like to make things easy. ;)

[Sinduction]

Ok, gonna brave the snow to get groceries. Hope we don't change stations until I get back! :D

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I need to go now, I wish you all a good night!

[NorthernTigress]

Define easy. I like to make things easy. ;)
"Easy" would mean that all the remaining stations (including this one) will have a deck that immediately appeals to to the remaining choosers. Unfortunately, you can't make that happen. Either is does, or it doesn't.

[Stormdancer]

Man those Kinder cards are CUTE!!

G'Night Seeker 13

[NorthernTigress]

Good night, Seeker*13*, see you tomorrow!

Nite Seeker*13*!!

[yirabeth]

Wow, nothing like unexpected company! I see the train moved right along then stopped for a bit..I'm guessing it needed a break. Hopefully things work out..that D thing seems nasty!!

So...whats up all? hehe

[NorthernTigress]

Wow, nothing like unexpected company! I see the train moved right along then stopped for a bit..I'm guessing it needed a break. Hopefully things work out..that D thing seems nasty!!

~Yira

Other than the train itself? Not much. I have to go to work again tonight. I'll be leaving in about an hour. Other people are having that "should I stay or should I go?" Moment. Oh, and somewhere there's a husband on a ladder. :joke:

Oh yeah and I have a new Avatar to go with my new sig from last night :D

<----

[Stormdancer]

So...whats up all? hehe

~Yira

Not too much now....seems everyone is exhausted. Quite a wild ride today!

[Stormdancer]

Oh yeah and I have a new Avatar to go with my new sig from last night :D

That is VERRRY purty!

[NorthernTigress]

That is VERRRY purty!
Thanks. Guess I'm just in the mood for change.

[yirabeth]

That is a lovely avatar, NorthernTigress! I adore candles, it's too bad they're so darn expensive. I have a set on a fancy platter on my dresser, and with the mirror behind them, they reflect and it's lovely to meditate by...my son decided to "carve" them one day, made a huge mess and I had to buy a whole new set! I made him go with me to see the cost..I spent $50 replacing candles on the platter in my room!

He's promised not to carve them any more *g*

Thanks for sharing the pictures :)

Stormdancer, I just scrolled back to see whose station we were on..you have offered up some absolutely gorgeous cards! I really like those Cachet ones :) I'm amazed you haven't had a taker on one of the many beauties you've put up yet :)

~Yira

[Stormdancer]

Does anybody remember where that picture of those cool German rocks were posted to? Now that it's slowed down, i can go back and check them out. I also think I need to re-read this mornings posts. Once I realized that we were whizzing by stations I just skipped to the end :joke:

[Stormdancer]

Acutally Sientra picked the Dance of Life deck...but it was kinda hairy there for a bit.

That is so cool. But I'm not great with heights, unless there is a visible railing involved. I guess I'll just admire the photos.

[LavenderLibra]

So...whats up all? heheThe Husband is OFF the ladder now (he only broke one thing, that I was going to take to Goodwill anyway), and I've got laundry going, clothes folded, potatoes just peeled & put on to boil, and despite the fact my older poodle is quite content in my lap, I need to go do some more chores, as many as I can, before bedtime.

I just wish it weren't so cold outside. I'd love to run to town & get a newspaper.

[NorthernTigress]

Well, time to get ready for work again. Weather report says it's -13C now (8F)
and will be -17C (0F) by the time I'm done. Guess I'll be bringing my fluffy scarf and mittens. I love my fluffy scarf.

[yirabeth]

(he only broke one thing, that I was going to take to Goodwill anyway)

A net gain then, he saved you gas money! hehe

You sound all industrious today:) I...fell somewhat short of my goals for the day..but I did end up with company..hehe

~Yira

[Sinduction]

Where is Frannie?

I think, if the three of us passed, we could move on to Quester, no?

[NorthernTigress]

I'm gone! See You All later.

[yirabeth]

Have fun at work, NorthernTigress! Or if not fun, maybe just have it go quick so you can leave and THEN have fun!

~Yira

[LavenderLibra]

Where is Frannie?

I think, if the three of us passed, we could move on to Quester, no?
Yeah, but didn't Seeker*13* go to bed?

[Stormdancer]

Yeah, but didn't Seeker*13* go to bed?

Yeah...I think so

[Sinduction]

Yes, after seeing the list though.

[cardlady22]

Jello Treats (http://convivial.blogs.com/my_weblog/images/2008/05/04/jello_salad.jpg), anyone?

Rye Bread & Beer (http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/recipes/2752001090_german-rye-beer-bread-recipe.jpg)

ETA: Speaking of rye bread, does anyone remember the restaurant Steak and Ale? Wasn't their butter/spread just divine?

[shamoness]

Perhaps Quester has some others to post as additions. If not, and you all pass that would mean I am up. Does this mean just myself, Quester and Sientara are left to pick from?
I sure hope someone picks one of my decks! The folks who have yet to make a selection have large collections already.

[cardlady22]

Sinduction, LavendarLibra & Seeker*13* are the Choosers. Quester & shamoness are the Listers left to go.

[Sinduction]

We are still at PathWalker's station, she has gone to bed.

So there is still time before your station. And don't worry. We all always worry about what we offer. But you never know who will want what. :D

See, I would pick the BBC but I would never use it, just sell it off, but I don't want to do that on a train. It just feels wrong.

[Stormdancer]

Jello Treats (http://convivial.blogs.com/my_weblog/images/2008/05/04/jello_salad.jpg), anyone?

Rye Bread & Beer (http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/recipes/2752001090_german-rye-beer-bread-recipe.jpg)

ETA: Speaking of rye bread, does anyone remember the restaurant Steak and Ale? Wasn't their butter/spread just divine?
CRAP!! I am supposed to bring Rye bread into work tomorrow for our German Lunch...I just realized what a coinkidink this is :joke: Wonder if I'll get fired for bringing in beer/ :bugeyed:

Ah well... i can go to the store on my way to work :)

In the meantime, since I've already had dinner, I think I'll try one of those jello treats. They look YUMMY

Thanks cardlady :thumbsup:

[cardlady22]

Might be best to bring root beer, dear! Hubby (a supervisor) caught a little chickie tippling coquito on the clock.

[Sinduction]

Quester's on, but no TCO or whoever he put in charge.

[Stormdancer]

See, I would pick the BBC but I would never use it, just sell it off, but I don't want to do that on a train. It just feels wrong.

I thought the same thing when that 2nd edition came up. I already have a 1st, and would prefer a 2nd instead, but somehow it just didn't seem to fit the nature of the train.

[cardlady22]

Quester's on, but no TCO or whoever he put in charge.franniee may not be feeling well again. They've both been offline a few hours, right?

[Stormdancer]

I sure hope someone picks one of my decks! The folks who have yet to make a selection have large collections already.

Scarry isn't it? I worried the same thing.

[Sinduction]

franniee may not be feeling well again. They've both been offline a few hours, right?Yes. It just seems silly to wait 12 hours when all three left to choose have passed and PW has gone to bed so she can't change her list. She would just move to the second pass.

I don't know.

[Stormdancer]

I've got a stupid train question.

If this is a "slow" train (<<yeah...RIIIIGHT!) and there are "bullet trains", is there a medium train?

[cardlady22]

The way I define them (in my mind) is not the speed of moving through beginning-to-end. It's just how fast the lists get put up. Choosing time will vary no matter which you ride.

[Stormdancer]

AAAH,,,so EACH train is different in regards to the listing time.

Got it and thank you!

[cardlady22]

Well, each kind of train. Slow indicates that we be prepared to wait for the list. Good for when people are going to have to be at work, etc. Bullet means everybody stay ready from the get-go.

ETA: Well, I'm going to hop offline until around 11pm Eastern USA.

[LavenderLibra]

Mmm, those Jello treats look good.

I've got part of our dinners for the week prepared, & am taking a break, while I try to figure out what else to cook.

[franniee]

ok I'm here - what's the deal?

[Stormdancer]

Pretty quiet here now...was kinda odd getting back to "life" :joke:

[Stormdancer]

ok I'm here - what's the deal?

Start reading at #1320....

[Isinea]

oh you're doing a german train and i miss it... :(

well i'm jumping in for some minutes to wish you all "Frohes Neues!" :D
Happy New Year! :)

[franniee]

OK I got it, PW posted her decks 3 hours ago - she still has 9 hours to go. I know she went to sleep but she may get up and post something else..... it's not really fair to move on. We typically move on when the poster says that that is all they are offering and no one picks a deck. Has she said that? I tried to speed read all the posts and I may have missed it...... but I would wait the 9 hours.

[Sinduction]

I thought she did say that. She was only going to offer German decks, nothing USA. Did I misread?

[Stormdancer]

We typically move on when the poster says that that is all they are offering and no one picks a deck. Has she said that?

I don't think she said that. With that box she got she may have LOTS of non-us decks...LOL

[Stormdancer]

well i'm jumping in for some minutes to wish you all "Frohes Neues!" :D
Happy New Year! :)

Thank you! And a Frohes neues to you too :D

[Quester]

I don't think she said that. With that box she got she may have LOTS of non-us decks...LOL

What box????

[Stormdancer]

What box????
hang on...let me see if i can find the thread for you

[LavenderLibra]

oh you're doing a german train and i miss it... :(
I wish you could have joined us! You could have shared tourguide status! ;)

well i'm jumping in for some minutes to wish you all "Frohes Neues!" :D
Happy New Year! :)

Thank you! Same to you!

[Quester]

:party: Happy New Year to you too Isinea!! :party:

[Stormdancer]

What box????

AHA!!! Found it. It was very exciting

ETA....

DUH:confused: guess it would help if I posted the link??

HERE (http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=127697)

[rhombchick]

:( Waaa!!!!

I hopped off the train for a second to grab some supplies from the store and had a car accident.
No one was hurt thank goodness but my car wasn't so lucky.
Worst of all I got a three hundred dollar fine, even though I am adamant it wasn't my fault. The intersection has caused over five accidents in the last 12 months, and although this doesn't seem like much, you need to take into account that it is a very small country town, with a population of about 1000 (I think that includes people who live on property, not strictly in town itself). Everyone is cautious around this intersection and still I am the 5th person in 12 months to have an accident.

My yearly spread didn't show this one coming. :(

So now I am stuck on a rural property, with my three year old son, 20 min drive from town (one way) with a mushed up, defective car. Luckly it still DRIVES... but I can't open the front or rear doors on the passanger side.
So lucky my boy was on the other side.

Next time I'll just stay on the train and order from the dining cart.....

[Shalyn]

Oh man, RC, I'm glad y'all are OK. I hate those types of intersections. Maybe you can contest the fine?

[Stormdancer]

OH MY!!! I am so glad everyone is OK!!! I'm sorry about your car. Is there some way to approach the town leaders about??

What a way to start a year, but you can look at it this way...maybe this is the worst that's gonna happen this year?

[franniee]

I PMed TCO. He'll pop in soon I'm sure. I'm going to sleep and watch desperate housewives and brothers and sisters.... :) Nighty Night!

[Shalyn]

Dang. I'd LOVE to have that BBC1.

I purchased a BBC2 from another ATer, but it's a signed version and even though I can use it nicely, it just feels wrong to use a signed edition. Kind of like reading a signed, first edition Lord of the Rings.

[LavenderLibra]

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry that happened to you! I don't know how the laws work there, but could you dispute the fine (instead of just paying it), and then take it before the judge, where you would have collected evidence on the history of that intersection??

You might get out of it, PLUS make a change for the better for EVERYONE.

[LavenderLibra]

Night, Frannie...btw, how's your back doing? Better, I hope! :)

[rhombchick]

It's a big intersection, four lanes plus a median strip, but only two of the lanes are drivable. The other two are for parking but it's a VERY wide intersection. Like, the parked cars park with their bumpers to the curb, not side to the curb, that's how wide it is.
I had a give way sign, I looked, didn't see anything and started to go through it, I was over half way across when the other car entered the intersection and smashed into the side of my car.
Even through I was over half way through already, I am still considered in the wrong because I should have given way. Yes, apparently I should have stopped in the middle of the intersection to let the other car pass. Not to mention that the median strip is covered in bushes and a tree and obscures traffic. Many complaints have been made, all of them ignored. Once again, because we are a small country town, money is tight and they don't want to fork out for a solution.
I guess it's one of those things where someone has to die before any action is taken. Luckly that someone wasn't me or my son today. Tomorrow someone might not be as lucky

[Queen of Disks]

Sorry to hear about it, Rhombchick. It sux to get fines for things that aren't your fault. At least you are ok.

[Sinduction]

What about starting a petition?

[shamoness]

Sorry for your car RC. Good thing you and your son are ok. That is so scary. The worst part is the aggravation you will have to go through with your car being messed up.

Very happy you are not hurt!!!!

[rhombchick]

I've made a complaint to main roads, but a petition may be in order. Even if someone just goes out with some florescent paint and paints a roundabout on the ground. Trucks would still be able to turn without hassle and everyone would be forced to slow down and give way to the right. Not give way to the left trying to see through bushes G.I. Joe style.....
I think many people just assume they have right of way and go straight through, without bothering to check if there is already someone in the intersection or not, which you could maybe get away with at a small crossroads. But this intersection is so so wide, that even those who have right of way need to slow down and look before they enter.
The lady who hit me was older and her reflexes weren't as good. She even admitted to me that she didn't brake when she saw me (she kept her foot on the accelerator even after she hit me). I'm not blaming her. Poor lass was just trying to go home, but that intersection really is a shitter.

Anyway......
Are we still with pathwalker?

[Stormdancer]

Anyway......
Are we still with pathwalker?

Yes...and she's asleep. things have quieted down alot!

[Isinea]

I wish you could have joined us! You could have shared tourguide status! ;)

Next time! :D

[Quester]

Glad everyone is ok Rhombchick!! Hope you had good insurance on the car!!

[Quester]

It is COLD here!!! BURRRRR!

[shamoness]

Well it's almost 12:30pm here. My daughter is leaving in the morning to go back to college and I am beat. So I'm signing off for the night. I have my list ready for when my turn comes up.

Good Night my friends. See you in the am.

[The crowned one]

I would be freaking if I was this close to the VR. Good thing TCO isn't here to witness. I'd be a mess!

no, I could not care less...its all cool with me, it is just a game ;)

[LavenderLibra]

Good night, Shamoness...

I'm here...but have been working on a project for a family member, so I've been kinda quiet. I probably need to wind down sometime, soon.

Quester, I just got up to look at the thermometer: it's 9°F at my house!
The neighbor's dog is outside barking, no doubt wanting in like I let her last winter! Felt sorry for her...

[The crowned one]

Okay then, in honour of our German train, I thought you might like to choose from some German decks :)


Flying Hearts Tarot, deck and book (in German) There is no box with this.

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/flying-hearts/index.shtml

It’s an unusual deck, cards have very different titles and illustrations; might help to be able to read the book this comes with! :)


Tarot Settanni, boxed deck and book. Interesting illustrative style, but fairly straightforward. Book comes in German and English.
Thank you to Tarot Passages for this link, couldn’t find it in Aeclectic

http://www.tarotpassages.com/setanni.htm


Kinder Tarot deck. 44 cards, two each of every major. Possibly aimed at some type of card game, but again I can’t read the LWB LOL

http://www.tarotgarden.com/database/dbsearchengine.php?search_type=blob&pageenter=0



This one a bit of a cheat, an Italian deck, but the LWB is in German :)
Il Tarocco di Sandro Pipino (number 779 of 3000)

http://www.tarotgarden.com/database/dbsearchengine.php?search_type=blob&pageenter=0


For the fairy lovers among us, a selection of European fairies and their lore:
The Fairy Ring Oracle – Anna Franklin

http://www.tarotgarden.com/database/dbsearchengine.php?search_type=blob&pageenter=0


And lastly, a couple of European decks

Baroque Bohemian Cats Tarot, 1st edition deck, the one with the fancy edges, unopened. Deck only

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/baroque-bohemian-cats/index.shtml


Tarot de Paris, was unopened, but Jes just had a look !!!

http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/paris/


Hope you find something that appeals :)

Great list! IF this list can't be used we deserve to crash LOL! We will stay here for the duration of her time. Looking at her post there may be other offerings.. and if not we will be having a "round two" at this station...

[faunabay]

Well I tried to find a doggie heating pad....good for leaving on under a blanket for them......and no one had any in stock!! :bugeyed: I guess with our extremely cold weather everyone else is thinking the same thing. So I've got one of my heating pads on her bed, but have to keep checking on it and won't keep it on all night long.

But now for the next saga of Mystic the arthritic german shepard - she just fell down my short flight of stairs!! Ack!! Her legs are just giving her fits today for some reason!!

So Mom (me of course LOL) kisses it and makes it better and what does she do? But run outside again and chase some animal across the yard!!! :rolleyes:

[coyoteblack]

I must have been taking off the list of people informed of trains may I please be placed back on the list. have fun all

[The crowned one]

Your dog does not sleep with you?? :D

I promised myself this dog would not sleep in my bed... RIGHT! haha.

[Quester]

Quester, I just got up to look at the thermometer: it's 9°F at my house!
The neighbor's dog is outside barking, no doubt wanting in like I let her last winter! Felt sorry for her...

It is always colder on the mountain!! (nice in the summer months!! :D) It's 14 here, but in this old house it feels colder!!!!

[LavenderLibra]

But now for the next saga of Mystic the arthritic german shepard - she just fell down my short flight of stairs!! Ack!! Her legs are just giving her fits today for some reason!!

Oooh..poor baby. And I think it really confuses them, when their mind wants to move and do what they've always done...but the body is acting differently.
My old boy has not felt well tonight...and I feel guilty every time I put him down. (But he still feels well enough to growl warnings at lunge at his competition).

[The crowned one]

I must have been taking off the list of people informed of trains may I please be placed back on the list. have fun all


I need to have that thread removed as we have not been using it...about 55% of the people I pm'ed last train either asked to be removed or declined to ride....

My apologies for not either using it as I should of, or removing it before this train...

[cardlady22]

Hubby got home and it must be the day/night for Traffic Hell all over! He was late due to helping a young lady push her car off the road (countless pass-by jerks!) and then give her a ride home. They say the feels-like temp is 35 down here.

[Queen of Disks]

ok, I am going to bed! I am working all day tomorrow, Northern Tigress can still have my deck if things go south. Goodnight everybody!

[Sinduction]

I'm off too, gone all day tomorrow as well. So, I suppose I will have to pick at the last station if I can't sneak on in between. :D

[cardlady22]

Sleep well and warm, everybody!

[faunabay]

Your dog does not sleep with you?? :D

I promised myself this dog would not sleep in my bed... RIGHT! haha.
hehe She used to, but the bed is too soft and she can't keep her balance enough while standing on it. She still tries every now and again but immediately falls over as she tries to lay down.

I love your picture TCO!!! This is exactly the way Mystic used to look on my bed too!!! LOL

[NorthernTigress]

Well, no staying up late this time. I have an early business meeting tomorrow morning. Good Night all.

[faunabay]

Well, no staying up late this time. I have an early business meeting tomorrow morning. Good Night all.
Yep, same here. I don't have an early business meeting, but need to get to bed a bit earlier than last night. :* See you all in the morning!

[coyoteblack]

I need to have that thread removed as we have not been using it...about 55% of the people I pm'ed last train either asked to be removed or declined to ride....

My apologies for not either using it as I should of, or removing it before this train...

well at least I do not feel unwanted, next time then.

[LavenderLibra]

CoyoteBlack, I wasn't on a list, didn't even know there was one! (I was confused by the different threads). I just *happened* to catch it while browsing the forums during the holidays...

Oh, it's almost 1:00 am! Tomorrow is my first day back at work, and I need to get some rest...maybe just a LITTLE more work on my project...

How many Trains usually happen during a year? (Of all shapes, sizes, and speeds?? :D ).

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good morning everybody!

[Wendywu]

Good morning :) I am logged in on my work computer - naughty naughty - but it's hard not to come and join in .....

I cannot BELIEVE that no-one has picked from Pathwalker. Whoa!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Aren't the 12 hours over yet? But everyone is asleep now. LOL

[Wendywu]

Yep - and I can't tell you how relieved I am. I am still at work and hopefully things won't pick up for another hour by which time I will be home.... :D

[Shalyn]

I'm at work. I'll probably miss the last couple of offerings, unless I can sneak in and look periodically.

[Sientara]

Morning! It snowed ~1 inch last night, so logically that means that there is a lot a school and business closings here and that the grocery stores had a run on milk and bread yesterday. Really. We just don't get snow that often.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good, looks like things are picking up again.
Good Morning!

[quintessence]

Good Morning! Still on the rails? Good. I have a very busy day at the clinic today, but still a couple of hours before I have to go in. Kind of odd that there's still a delay, such nice offerings. Didn't someone draw the Wheel a while back? Should think that would get things turning again. I'll keep checking in as I get breakfast and prepare for work. Sending warm Florida thoughts to all the poor cold puppydogs around the world.

[Stormdancer]

I'm at work. I'll probably miss the last couple of offerings, unless I can sneak in and look periodically.

I'll be at work in 2 hours as well, and will probably miss the final destintion since I can't check in at work :( I am expecting to experience withdrawls :D

Good luck to everyone....and HAVE fun!!

[Stormdancer]

Sending warm Florida thoughts to all the poor cold puppydogs around the world.
OOOHH!! THANKS!!! Actually warmer this morning than it's been for a few days. We're up to 8 (f) and expected to get up to 18...THAT'S ALMOST 20!!! YIPPEE SKIPPEE :D

[Stormdancer]

LOL at myself...My normal routine is to turn on the computer AND the TV, then listen to the IMPORTANT news while checking e mail. This morning I spent a 1/2 hr checking in HERE, just now turning on the tv. Made me giggle :joke:

[shamoness]

Good Morning !
I thought for sure when I checked in this morning we'd be moving along. As fast as we were moving yesterday I really thought my station would come up by dinnertime yesterday. Funny things, these trains, you never know how it will play out. That's half the fun I guess.

I'm going out for a few hours. Breakfast with my girls and then we are dropping Sarah off at her boyfriend's so they can drive back to Gainesville. I'll be back around noon or 1 EST.

Cao

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I guess it's Questers turn now, right?

[Guiding Cauldron]

Hi everyone I'll have a look through to see where were all at currently, hope you all had a great night xx

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Well 12 hours have past, no one picked, so we moved on right?

[franniee]

Well 12 hours have past, no one picked, so we moved on right?

Nope 12 hours is the time you get to show up and post - you get 24 hours at each station to modify your decks unless you state that you are not going to make any changes and the people left to pick decline your decks. So she has some time. :)

Besides...... they are beautiful decks. Are who ever you guys are sure that there isn't something on it that you want to try out? It's a shame to derail when sweet decks are offered. Just saying.... I have no vested interest since I am in a closed loop.

[yirabeth]

Good morning all :)

Such an interesting ride, this train! It's been wonderfully fun and educational, just like I thought! I can't wait to see it finish playing out.

Except, I may have to go to pay for my next college term today -- it's government funded, (TAA - my job moved to Mexico and I didn't, so they are paying to retrain me) and if my voucher is ready today, I have to run that in. It better be today, or tomorrow, because tomorrow is the last day to pay for this next semester...hehe

So I might or might not be on and off today, I'll have to wait to see how that plays out :)

~Yira

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Either I have them or I really don't care for the rest. No use for me, getting a back up here.

[quintessence]

Seeker*13* you really do have a lot of decks! (Peeked at your profile.) It must be difficult to find something on the train that could add to that. I'm glad my station has already passed! I do hope you find something that gladdens your heart coming up here soon. Gotta get ready to leave, and we had a hard freeze here last night down to 23F, and tonight it may hit 18 and stay low for several hours --Arctic train! So I'll be bustling about with sheets to cover some plants and running sprinklers on the garden in hopes of saving our meager "crop" of broccoli, kale and Brussels sprouts.

[The crowned one]

Six hours left at this very fine station, If PathWalker comes on and lets us know there will be no change this round we will move on, and revisit her on round two.

[Jesii]

Hi all, i'm at college sneaking into the film room to write lol, late morning to all....whats in the buffet train?

[Wendywu]

Jesii - is your mum at work? 'cos if she is, I guess we won't see her until this evening, right?

[Aulruna]

Well, it's like on a real train ... you can't hurry it along ... just make the best out of a slower part of the trip and enjoy the company :D

I'm all covered in dust and budgie feathers, because I've decided to remodeled the study (which is doubling as my modest artist studio), because it has reached a point where I can hardly find my own a**!! Must make the most out of those last free days.

[Jesii]

Yeah she is at work, wont be back till at least 5 ish sorry guys.

[Aulruna]

As it's 3pm here, how about a piece of cold dog? (Nope, we're not exotic eaters ... this is a cake made from cookies layered with soft chocolate fudge.)

http://images.suite101.com/368008_de_kalterhund.jpg

[The crowned one]

Anyone want to take bets on which chains will become loops? :D

Good Morning Aulruna!

[Jesii]

I'm in x

[Wendywu]

I went back to work this morning - place was freezing. They turned the heating off over the holidays, which I can understand, but they didn't turn it on again until 9.00 this morning. Which is great, except I get there at about 7.30 .......

When I got home my house was toasty warm and gorgeous to relax into :) And there were croissants, ham and cheese for lunch. And pots of piping hot tea to wash it down :D

[Wendywu]

I want the yummy cake - OH PLEASE GIMME THE CAKE .....

[Stormdancer]

CAKE!!! YUMMMMM :D

[quintessence]

I want yummy cake, too! I've been a good girl and finished my breakfast, so please? It reminds me of the Dobosh torte I used to get as a little girl at Christmastime.
This train has been a very interesting and wonderful journey into getting to know you all better. And as we all check in about what's going on at our homes, we see similarities in dealing with cold weather and pets and significant others, etc. It makes the AT even more personable to me, and I'd already considered it my best forum experience ever.
Who has been on the most trains, and what has been your experience?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Seeker*13* you really do have a lot of decks! (Peeked at your profile.) It must be difficult to find something on the train that could add to that. I'm glad my station has already passed!

I know that, I tried on a couple of stations, but you guys were all faster than me. This is my first train. I would accept Back Ups of Decks that I really like. There were a few selections that I really liked. But keep in mind, that in Germany we sleep , when you Guys are fully awake.LOL

[Jesii]

Bye guys, gotta go, chat later... :)

[Aulruna]

Exactly ... I'm a night owl, and still lots of the action happens when I finally succumb to the lure of Morpheus...

As for who has been on the most trains - no idea, really! I rode a good number, but I also missed some. The one event I would not want to have missed for the world was our Mystery Train, "Crse of the Misfortune Teller", masterminded by Scion ... an incredible to the border of sanity and back :D

[Wendywu]

Hey Aulruna - my husband just made those Pesto Palmiers you posted about - they are gorgeous..... soooo savoury and flavoursome . Thank you for those :)

Wow, I'd love to check that out! Is there a link? And I see how our train had lots of lurches forward during European downtime...perhaps that needs to be considered in future trains? Not only a start time for everyone, but a rest period where the train has to refuel before moving on? What do you think, TCO? I seriously empathize with Seeker*13* dealing with being first time rider like me, PLUS dealing with trainlag.

[Aulruna]

Just found another favourite location to share - the statue of Imperia, poised at the harbour entrance of Konstanz (on Lake Constance). She even turns! This is a reminiscence of the Council in Constance between 1414 and 1418 to resolve the issues between the king, the pope and the counter pope. History says the many rich men visiting the council made prostitution in the city skyrocket! So, the prostitute Imperia holds the naked pope in her left and the naked king in her right hand ... :D

[yirabeth]

That mystery train sounds so fascinating..I may have to get a deck just so I can join one! (*I'm on a save-every-penny-I-can-for-shadowscapesLE-journey)

I've really enjoyed this one, and now the tension is high, suspense abounds...will the train jump the tracks....OOOOOOOO *cue twilight zone music*

~Yira

[quintessence]

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha! Yay, go Constance! We need a statue like this in Washington,DC -- right in front of the Capitol building!

[yirabeth]

History says the many rich men visiting the council made prostitution in the city skyrocket! So, the prostitute Imperia holds the naked pope in her left and the naked king in her right hand ... :D

Oh that is absolutely awesome!! Plain to see, this city doesn't take itself too seriously...I love it!

~Yira

[quintessence]

Perhaps Konstanz can send a crate of souvenir Imperias over here so we can give one to every congressperson.

[yirabeth]

Wow, I'd love to check that out! Is there a link? And I see how our train had lots of lurches forward during European downtime...perhaps that needs to be considered in future trains? Not only a start time for everyone, but a rest period where the train has to refuel before moving on? What do you think, TCO? I seriously empathize with Seeker*13* dealing with being first time rider like me, PLUS dealing with trainlag.

I love the thought of downtime to refuel..if it could be arranged so everyone would get equal chance at all stations. That seems difficult though, what with Australians being 14 hrs opposite(from me..less from UK, more from Pacific Northwest US) ..but I imagine it could be done? Perhaps a couple of 4 hr periods of downtime, so maybe someone would get up an hour early to see the train coming in, or go to bed an hour late for same, but thus giving equal chance at new stations? There'd still be 16 hrs of traintime going....

[NorthernTigress]

Good Morning all.

I have to run to my meeting in about 15 minutes, and then I'll be running errands for a while.

I don't want to sound mean, but every time I hear people here talking about the "arctic" temperatures they are experiencing, I have to shake my head (after running a conversion chart). Minus five to minus seven celcius (18-23F) is downright pleasant for winter around here!

[The crowned one]

NorthernTigress, how is the ice cream business this time of year?? :D

[NorthernTigress]

NorthernTigress, how is the ice cream business this time of year?? :D

Basically I'm getting paid to read and play my new Nintendo DS. :joke:

Although a few people DO come in.

[quintessence]

Cold weather can make you mean. I lived in New England for 24 years! I finally wized up and got down here to Florida. Sure, there are no jobs and the education level is just above the drool stage in some of our rural areas --high heat in the summer fries the brain. But after living here for a long while the blood thins out, so what used to seem balmy weather to me up north is now a cause for panic. I know I wouldn't last a half hour without freezing to death where you are.

I understand completely. I have a friend who was born Canadian, but has since moved to Melbourne, Australia. She freely admits that she won't come home to visit any time past September because she can't handle the cold anymore.

On the other hand, she can now handle HOT weather that would make me melt into a puddle on the floor!

[yirabeth]

I want to move where it's warm and learn to handle really HOT temperatures....LOL I'd like to be a hothouse flower!

I wonder what kind of flower I'd be...probably a dandelion...LOL

~Yira

[NorthernTigress]

Well, gotta go. Good riding to you all!

[cardlady22]

Anyone want to take bets on which chains will become loops? :DI'll put my neck out on the block and say I expect the 2 that I'm not in to combine and gaze imploringly at the Last to Pick. })

That "cake" looks like it would be right at home in Wonkaville. Not sure I can handle that first thing in the morning. Poo! Officially an adult as I break out my oatmeal yet again.

[quintessence]

I'm off to work. Happy posting, and hopefully smooth riding. I'll be back @ 6 Pm EST. Good fortunes to all.

[yirabeth]

I had cheese and crackers for my breakfast...cheddar...shared with my macaw. (the crackers not the cheese, parrots can't have cheese) So, is that grownup, or childish?

~Yira

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Bye Quintessence! Don't work to much.

[The crowned one]

I'll put my neck out on the block and say I expect the 2 that I'm not in to combine and gaze imploringly at the Last to Pick. })


That was my bet too!

[cardlady22]

Cheese & crackers shared with a pet is most assuredly a Child at Heart! Sprinkle that lady with faerie dust and blow her over to the Dreamworld of her choice!

[cardlady22]

That was my bet too!Now it remains to be seen if our Riders are the contrary sort who delight in proving prognosticators wrong. ;)

[PathWalker]

Well wow, I don’t know what to say 

I really thought that was a good selection, a bit of fun, and things folks might like to try.

Other decks I have for trade, which I didn’t think were so in keeping with the train theme, but might appeal and are still all European based:


Merlin Tarot – RJ Stewart
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/merlin/index.shtml#cards

along his own unique lines, but have some lovely illustrations, and might interest someone.


Karma Tarot - Birgit Boline Erfurt (US Games printed, but Danish in inspiration)
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/karma/review.shtml


Olympus Cards – Murry Hope. An oracle, not tarot, but I like her work (I have a copy of this already)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-Self-discovery-Archetypes-Murry-Hope/dp/1855380684


Ship of Fools – Brian Williams – another one I already have a copy of, makes me laugh when I use it, but gets to the point.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/ship-of-fools/


Visconti Tarot – the A A Atanassov version, boxed with book.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/visconti/


If this doesn’t interest someone then I’m real sorry guys.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Dreampower Pleas!

[LavenderLibra]

Hello! Have just finished my morning rituals (dogs walked+dogs fed+coffee making, which was a pain as I broke my only French press :( ).

I stayed up much too late last night, & today it is back to *That Place*, so I can't play long today.

Give me a bit to read back and see what I've missed.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

where did it go?

[cardlady22]

Those look amazing! Great choice, Seeker!

And both lists were well-chosen, PathWalker.

[PathWalker]

where did it go?
So sorry, Jes had already nabbed this one and I didn't realise - so very sorry for the confusion.

Hope there's something else that someone will like.

really sorry for that guys, tried to take it out as soon as I could :(

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Looks like the Dreampower was edited out?

[Wendywu]

Those lists were absolutely amazing - Pathwalker listed a whole series of absolutely stunning decks and I have droooled my way through the thread following looking at the lists ........

Way to go Pathwalker :)

[Wendywu]

So sorry, Jes had already nabbed this one and I didn't realise - so very sorry for the confusion.

Hope there's something else that someone will like.

really sorry for that guys, tried to take it out as soon as I could :(


Don't worry sweetie - your right to edit out and edit in, so to speak ......

[cardlady22]

Too funny! I think all those Fools are fighting for control of our Wheel! (NT's card pull last night ~ post #1284)

Are we still Mercury retrograde?
ETA: Yes, until Jan 15th.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I don't think it's funny at all.

[cardlady22]

I'm very sorry, Seeker. I didn't mean funny as in ha ha, good.

[PathWalker]

I am truly sorry.
Jes had seen my copy when I first got it in Hay on Wye, and not really liked it. But we got an opened copy in the collection, and she enjoyed the artwork, although she doesn't want to try and read the book and use his interpretations.
I didn't know she'd had it until I'd posted and she said she said she'd got it. (I'm working off a excel spreadsheet, not rooting round in the boxes).

I'm sorry if that disappointed.
Pathwalker (and Jesii, who's not logged on)

[The crowned one]

OK we have less then three hours at this station, a very fine one too.

That said if all the riders who have not chosen have said "no" to this station at this time we can move on. I would need to see all <three?> riders say as much here....

[Wendywu]

Don't worry darlin' - you put up some incredible decks!!!

[The crowned one]

Don't worry darlin' - you put up some incredible decks!!!
I'll second that fact.

[The crowned one]

Sinduction - offline at work?
LavendarLibra
Seeker*13*

with thanks to cardladdy22



Yes. It just seems silly to wait 12 hours when all three left to choose have passed and PW has gone to bed so she can't change her list. She would just move to the second pass.

I don't know.

What about starting a petition?

I think Sin is ready to move on ;)

[cardlady22]

cardladdy22I've always played the boy in my mind. :grin: Even dream of myself as a male character. :laugh:

[Wendywu]

Ah but Sin didn't see those latest yummy decks did she??

[LavenderLibra]

I'll choose the Visconti...I have the Scapini, and it looks like historically it would be good to have (as in, you've come a long way, Baby! ;) ).

****Derail avoided, you can take your seatbelts off now!*****

[The crowned one]

Moving ever closer to the edge and end! :D

[Wendywu]

So just two left to pick?

[LavenderLibra]

And Pathwalker, you had TWO absolutely FANTASTIC lists...there was nothing wrong with them! Several that fit my tastes, I already had. Plus, I think everyone had a bit of what it's like on Christmas morning...

...all the children opening presents in a frenzy...by the end, they are getting tired and overwhelmed and their eyes crossing from all the choices! :)

I would have liked to have seen what Quester & Shamoness had, but, after being off work for 13 days....I'm back to the grindstone again today, and there are two more stops to go! :)

Quester, bring it on!

[The crowned one]

WHat did shamoness choose??

[Wendywu]

Faerie from Guiding Cauldron

[PathWalker]

The Visconti it is if you're sure.
This is the shiny gold Atanassov version.
I already have it, this was a duplicate, so I hope you love it :)

[Wendywu]

Ah that Atanassov is beautiful. Hot stamped gold foil all over the place - sheer luxury in a deck :)

[The crowned one]

Seeker*13* and Sin are on different chains. If either chooses, that particualr chain will become a loop. :)

[LavenderLibra]

I don't have any gilded decks, so that sounds beautiful! :D

[The crowned one]

Ah that Atanassov is beautiful. Hot stamped gold foil all over the place - sheer luxury in a deck :)

I still have the mini, it is a very luxurious deck...

[cardlady22]

Oh, the gold is exquisite! (regular size only though) Especially for a deck like this, where it was a wedding present in the first place. So easy to imagine I'm the lovely recipient sitting at the table with my new husband. Flirting while we play.

[Wendywu]

I never quite thought of it that way before ......


I will now though :D


My husband is a beginning reader ....

[Guiding Cauldron]

wow 2 more stations left, sweet it will be interesting to see shamoness list since she is the caboose, Im waiting in anticipation since she already chose from me !! :)

Offering up some sweet and sour chicken with rice if anyones interested xx

[LavenderLibra]

Oh, the gold is exquisite! (regular size only though) Especially for a deck like this, where it was a wedding present in the first place. So easy to imagine I'm the lovely recipient sitting at the table with my new husband. Flirting while we play.
I will have to read up on the history of it, for sure! I just know the time period, etc.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I think I would love some chicken and rice now!

[Wendywu]

I just had some fish, golden rice and cauliflower cheese ..... I really enjoyed it. Was very hungry despite the pesto palmiers of Aulrunas - which I must admit are truly scrumptious.

[yirabeth]

Congrats on your pick, LavenderLibra!

Pathwalker, your list was simply fantastic. I was amazed to see it go so long without a pick, just goes to show you never can tell! But wow..a BBC, etc etc..and it just sits?? LOL As a newbie tarot reader/collector, I shake my head in amazement :)

~Yira

[franniee]

I think I would love some chicken and rice now!

I just had some leftover lentils and sausage.... BUT I think I drank too much coffee because my stomach isn't so happy. :(

I went to the gym this morning. I have to do something to get my back and right hamstring in order. If I move I get a spasm in my back anymore! It has completely seized up.

[LavenderLibra]

But wow..a BBC, etc etc..and it just sits?? LOL As a newbie tarot reader/collector, I shake my head in amazement :)

I would have snagged that one, if I hadn't just bought it a month ago from Karen here on the forum! The MRP decks are always a nice offering!

[Jesii]

hi all, i am back on again!!!! i have no idea whats for tea, do not disturb the chef whist cooking lol

[LavenderLibra]

I wish I had someone to cook for me! I haven't had a bite today yet. Just coffee...

...I'm trying to tie up some loose ends, then must start getting ready for work; hubs has already left early for an appt. before work.

[Aulruna]

I just had some fish, golden rice and cauliflower cheese ..... I really enjoyed it. Was very hungry despite the pesto palmiers of Aulrunas - which I must admit are truly scrumptious.

Wendywu, this sounds delicious ... I love cauliflower!!

We just got some pangasius for Wednesday. Today, hubby is making his signature dish, lasagna.

And I just realized I never answered the question what goes into the red pesto! It's made form sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, a few pitted black olives, parsley, basil, garlic and olive oil. Sometimes, chili flakes, but not for the palmiers.

Anyone in the bar car, mixing up something yummy?

[Jesii]

we got pea soup with garlic chesse in it and onion bread yum yum

[Wendywu]

wow jesii - room for one more at table???

[Dusk Till Dawn]

We are having rice and Fish now.

[Jesii]

you're welcome to join us :)

[LavenderLibra]

Man, you all are making me HUNGRY...but no bar car for me about about 11 hours...I'll be operating machinery. The two do not combine well. :P

Oh , and Aulruna, I have really enjoyed the pictures....I was scrolling back, trying to find the rock ones, especially, to copy for my wallpaper rotation.

[Wendywu]

Snap :D

Jesii - ask Pathwalker to tellme how she does her galic cheese - would you mind? I am very partial to garlic cheese ... and that soup from Quebec - Habitant Pea Soup - my absolute fave soup

[cardlady22]

A certain someone just showed up!

[PathWalker]

We've swapped, she's watching Numbers, I'm on the computer.
Me, cook????
Haven't you heard I have a chef? He used leeks, peas, a few new potatoes, olive oil, veg. stock, and then something like boursin.

If you want more details I'll get him to find me the recipe :)

[LavenderLibra]

A certain someone just showed up!
Yup, I saw that. ;)

Medieval Scapini, Corto Maltese & Undersea are the ones that grab my eye! Great variety, Quester!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Don't work to much!

[PathWalker]

Like the Undersea myself - Frank Fradella(SP) artwork, very nice :)

[Wendywu]

I'd love an undersea that featured real sea creatures, like the Greenwood features actual land animals .. now that could be beautiful. Think of the coral reefs and the beauty around them! The under ice world of the Arctic - could be an incredible deck :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I just don't like the Artwork.

[Wendywu]

What, in the Greenwood??

[cardlady22]

Oh yes, Wendywu! I wonder if we could interest Jasmine Becket-Griffith in such a project? I love her colors, etc.
http://www.strangeling.com/mermaidandnymphart.html

Still Life with a Mermaid
Orca Magic
Cretaceous Mermaid
Mermaid of the Deep
Crown of Shells

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Fradella's Artwork. I just don't relate to it. I would never say nothing against the Greenwood! LOL

[Wendywu]

Well, pretty but not gutsy - doesn't feel as if I could go there and just exist in the stillness of it. Or the movement of it.... But a couple of those cards are absolutely lovely :) I see why you thought of her. We need a really good representational artist .... (I wouldn't want it photocollage or CGI)

[Wendywu]

Fradella's Artwork. I just don't relate to it. I would never say nothing against the Greenwood! LOL

Phew! Fradella is one I can like if I'm in the right mood ...


I like that Corto Maltese - I've seen it a lot over the last few days - got to mean something!!

[shamoness]

My baby is gone back to college, boo hoo. I won't see her for another 4 months, boo hoo hoo.
I'm fine, sniff.

At least I have you guys and the train to keep me from dwelling. TCO, pour me something warm and strong. How about a Nutty Irishman? Hot Coffee, Frangelico, Kalua, and Bailey's irish Cream.

Beautiful decks Quester! That Undersea one is neat.

[Wendywu]

Ooooh - I'd like a nutty Irishman too please (tall, reasonably mature, dark hair and eyes....)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Quester, you have a nice list there, it's just that I almost have all of them.

[Quester]

Quester, you have a nice list there, it's just that I almost have all of them.

I understand Seeker*13*!! :)

[shamoness]

I'm getting worried now that my list will not meet the need. I never knew being the caboose was so stressful

[Jesii]

I'm getting worried now that my list will not meet the need. I never knew being the caboose was so stressful
i have immesurable sympathy for you on the end there x

[The crowned one]

Quester, you have a nice list there, it's just that I almost have all of them.

What ones do you not have on the list? The cool thing about the game is sometimes it is just an opportunity to try a deck you would not consider, other times you score, and over the long run you break even and make friends. :)

[The crowned one]

Strong drinks all around, a ale for me and I will pass on the Irishman :D

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Am I the only one left? I feel like I answer all the questions here...
I saw the Fradella one once, and I just don't care for it.Same with the Mysteries, and the Maltese. Sorry.

[Wendywu]

Well, pass him here then .... (oh and an ale please) ....:D

[cardlady22]

What would this taste like? I have no experience with drinking.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I'm getting worried now that my list will not meet the need. I never knew being the caboose was so stressful
It's not easy beeing the last ones standing too...

[The crowned one]

I think we are waiting on Sin... as Seeker*13* has passed? You are not the last man standing quite yet! :D

[cardlady22]

I'm going to pop out into the regular world since we'll need to let Sinduction see Quester's list. Try to relax and have fun, everyone!

[Sinduction]

I too have to pass. I have had most of those at one time and given them away.

Oh to be left with the two of us! :D

[Quester]

I too have to pass. I have had most of those at one time and given them away.

Oh to be left with the two of us! :D

Actually that's kinda funny! LOL

[Sinduction]

And that petition thing, was for Roombchick and her car accident thing, not the train! :D

[Wendywu]

Well if Sin and Seeker have both passed - is Shamoness up? or do we wait stay at Quester's station? Is the Conductor about?

[Sinduction]

I might like that Paulina.

Where's my buddy Seeker?

[Sinduction]

And is that the LS Secret?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I am right here...Buddy!

[Quester]

And is that the LS Secret?

Is there another one?? Yes it IS LS Secret.

[Sinduction]

Any of those grabbing you?

I'm sure I can pick from Shamoness if you want something here.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Nope.

[Quester]

I will let you all decide...I am fastening my seat belt just in case!! :D

[Sinduction]

Is there another one?? Yes it IS LS Secret.Hey, you never know, there are always other ones. One must be careful. :D

[Sinduction]

Ok, then I will choose the Paulina. It has an enchanting air about it. :D

See, I'm not that picky!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Will this really end by the time i go to bed?
The Paulina is really nice! Good choice.

[Sinduction]

I do believe Shamoness is online.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I would love to crawl under a Rock and hide now. My first train, and I mess everything up..

[Sinduction]

You didn't mess anything up. It's all ok. Don't worry until you've seen the next list! :D

[Sinduction]

I have to go to work, have pm-ed Shamoness, it shows she's on but who knows?

Good luck buddy! :D

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Thank you! Don't work to hard!

[Wendywu]

I have to go too - I want a nice long bath before going to bed tonight. I am all tense from the first day back at work :)

I am sooooo wanting to stay and see how it all turns out in the end - but on the other hand, I am a tired chickie...

[PathWalker]

We should be going too, but are watching tv and pressing the refresh in the adverts :)
Have good days/nights whatever to all
Pathwalker ( and Jesii too )

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Good Night everyone!

[cardlady22]

Popped back in to see how things are going in between my errands. (((Seeker*13*))) and (((shamoness)))

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I will only be on by a maximum of 30 minutes, really late here.

[PathWalker]

Sending you a coffe if you'd like one? Or Chamomile tea?
Anyone else too?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Thank you!

[cardlady22]

I'm going for a Tootsie Roll Pop (http://www.ilovesweettreats.com/images/TootsiePop-1.JPG) and a Sprite.

[Aulruna]

Btw Seeker ... I'm from Mosbach originally!

[Quester]

Sending you a coffe if you'd like one? Or Chamomile tea?
Anyone else too?

Chamomile tea sounds good! Thank you!! :)

[PathWalker]

I should have nabbed some of that chocolate layer cake thing that was about earlier, but it's a bit late in the day here to be eating chocolate now.
(I know "time is an illusion, luch time doubly so" Douglas Adams, but it will keep me awake)

So, I'm on Rooibos tea, but have a chamomile, lavender and rose mix in the cupboard which is real nice :)

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Mosbach? Echt? Herb!Das ist ja um die ecke. Schon mal in Erbach in unserem kaff gewesen?Odfer Michelstadt? Mittelalter fest war immer schoen, gibts hier aber nicht mehr. Amerika ist schoener!

Have a nice cup of tea...?

[The crowned one]

Wonderful list! Over the top really!

[Aulruna]

Gosh, that's not a list, that's a collection in itself :bugeyed:

Mosbach? Echt? Herb!Das ist ja um die ecke. Schon mal in Erbach in unserem kaff gewesen?Odfer Michelstadt? Mittelalter fest war immer schoen, gibts hier aber nicht mehr. Amerika ist schoener!

Ja, na klar! Und Mittelalter ist meine große Leidenschaft...
Aber ich bin auch zufrieden mit 3 Odenwaldbesuchen im Jahr ;) (und netto mehr Zeit in USA!)

[faunabay]

Wow! I check back in just in time to see the mother load of all lists!! :bugeyed:

I've never seen the Cards of Alchemy! Those look really interesting. I love the crystal addition to the cards. Aulruna, my oracle loving partner :*, I'm sure you've seen them. What do you think? Do I need to find myself a copy too? })

Oh wait, now that I followed the link to amazon, I have seen these before. Just not the actual cards. I've seen the box before. hmmm.....still interested though. LOL

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Shamoness, this list is over the Top, you sure got me with this one!
I am still looking, I am torn. Maybe there are to many now to choose!LOL

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I just edited to state which were kits and few that I didn't mention were sealed.
Please, no editing for me on one day. ROFLMAO

You have 23 hours and 54 minutes left ;)

They are really cool. My son loves these. They are just not something I have ever done anything with. I found them at a used bookstore and picked them up for half price. The book looks brand new. If Seeker doesn't choose them you can always PM for for a side trade.

I think they're worth it!

What does notched mean?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

You have 23 hours and 54 minutes left ;)
LOL! I am trying, to many good ones.

[shamoness]

The cards were cut by a machine on the edge. It's a small cut about 1/8 of an inch deep on one side. It's to show they were for display. It doesn't cause any issue in readbility except to indicate the orientation of the card prior to turning it over. It doesn't go past the border.

I am not keeping these as I don't like Manga style (Londa) and I was given a set of the Legend with the book as a gift.

[shamoness]

CardLady tahnk you for posting the links I didn't have!

Puts me in mind of the vignette in the Emily series of book by L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables fame)
The Woman Who Spanked The King (http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0300151h.html#c14)

Emily is much more mysterious/mystical than Anne! And only 3 books to the series. :grin:

We are the Knights who say "Nee"

Dragon Tarot...and a shrubbery :D

[Sientara]

Dragon Tarot...and a shrubbery :D

That might be a bit costly to ship.

[cardlady22]

Dragon Suckling, True Love or Metamorphosis...
OH! I can see your dilemma. All 3 are fabulous. I have the Dragon (Suckling is the best!) & the Metamorphosis.

[PathWalker]

Dragon Tarot...and a shrubbery :D
Do what?

[Dusk Till Dawn]

[The crowned one]

A shrubbery is what the Knights of Nee need!

Thank you very much, we love this.
My bunny fan (rabbit tarot for xmas and is wearing a rabbit hoody as we type) should be in bed but is sitting here with me waiting for the end !

Now I'm going "run away run away run away" but she isn't!!!!

Glad we made it - nice glass of wine all round?

[shamoness]

Dragon Suckling, True Love or Metamorphosis...

All good choices. Very different from each other. True Love is the most unusual.

[shamoness]

Trimmed Prague it is. Since there is no box I'll make you a bag for it. Hooray!!!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Thank you so much! I am excited, since I only have one other trimmed Deck.
Thank you!

[Dusk Till Dawn]

Now, I will go to sleep. At least I'll try.Gute Nacht!

[The crowned one]

OK I did not see this one coming!

Time for a round of drinks!

New players: send your mailing address off to your partners. Generally we try to mail out within a week. Use whatever method you are comfortable with (cheapest if on different continents generally, air if you are on the same continent;) ) and give your partner a heads up on a time frame....

Great train everyone! Very intense at times always fun.

[Dusk Till Dawn]

I told you you brought me out of my concept!LOL.
Good Night all. The shipping info tomorrow right?

[The crowned one]

TCO, do we go to the old bar/rehab thread (http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=120562) or will you be doing a new one for the new year?

We go there until we hit 1000 posts...so yes to the bar! Wo wowo!
