The Truth

Now that that rebel, Pantagathus, has driven me to the vine and the stalk, I tell all. As you may or may not know, I have some good looking babe visiting me while the Domina is abroad. She is 21. Now, her sister, who is 16, is going to visit Ameica. She's a knock out also. They will be staying with me next weekend. The building will go beserk! The men will be jealous and the women won't be able to hold their water until the Domina comes home and they tell all. When they were nippers, I bounced

Boredom=dangerous Creativity

So, I woke up the other day with this crazy idea in my head that I wanted to build a webforum. Mind you, I already had two webforums. I simply enjoy building them As luck would have it, I was having a problem with the admin panel on my one forum, and tech support was ignoring me (it was a function that I *really need* that wouldn't work). I had wanted to move to Proboards anyway (Proboards is AWESOME), but I was worried about moving again, because the first time I moved Hidden Worlds it was a

Legio Secvnda Augusta Revisited.

The weather in Britain never fails to amaze, last weekend the LEG II got a thorough soaking at Bremetenacvm, and have had to work all week at drying and reparing kit, but today a slave had to make rounds with water for the troops who were sweltering in their armour.   So the Legion was at Gargrave, nearest therefore to Olinacvm on the road from Bremetenacvm to Eboracvm.   There is evidence of a substantial villa adjacent to the village http://www.outofoblivion.org.uk/record.asp?id=240

Nothing Much

Komrades:   Geroge Washington never told a lie. :wub: george bushe never told the truth.   In a way, doesn't Pres. chenny call to mind Aaron Burr? But Aaron was a better shot.   Domina Claudia off to Maygne for a fortnight of fun and games with my out-laws. Delivered her off to her sister in Nu Joyzee. Had to go through the Holland tunnel twice. As you can see, I made it. Gassed up the chariot in that province and the attendant was highly agitated because it only took 5+ gallons @ 18 b

Conan The Cimmerian

Wow its been a while eh? Finally I have a break from both RV and work to be as bad as I want to be. Well, tonight I drank the best of both Italy and Japan to come to this conclusion: watch Conan the Barbarian.   No really, I bet it's been a while right? Just trust me. This is what adventure was founded upon.

Job Hunting, Etc.

Well I've been home from my dad's for 3 or 4 weeks, and now it's time for me to find a job. I put in an application at a local grocery store. Not only is the place within walking distance, but I liked the atmosphere and thought I would like to work there. They weren't officially hiring, but they were short staffed. I had two reccommendations from people who worked there. I turned in my application. I called a few days later, they told me that the manager had taken it upstairs to look at it. All

Once Again I Renew My Plea

Ever since my third year of college, with all of my classes being upper division in type, and with many academic writings to peruse, I have clamored for retraining of academians. And again I renew my plea.   When I become Ruler of the World, every academian will take writing courses (in the language or languages in which they publish) approximately every 5 years. In these courses, the 'students' will re-learn and refresh themselves on the proper writing styles of their genre. The first cour

Bombs Away!

Komrades:   Gaius' reason for existence weekend last was to deliver and retrieve Consort to and from her venue for peddling her horsey stuff. In the interim, the booze and fodder held out and a project was accomplished in peace. Now comes Monday when Gaius was to retrieve said Individual. When the time to commence the voyage arrived, C. did not get his dumper into gear at the appointed hour. No matter. When the mission was almost accomplished, and we approached the wig-wam, the streets were c

Some Work...

So, a nice update on what work has actually been done. I was initally assigned to sketch and draw the site we first visited and my professor liked it so much he wants me to just continue the job and has given me graph paper, measuring sticks, all of this stuff to draw and document illustrations for the work on the Galatian Hillforts. I have not taken any drafting classes etc, and I was told I should since I have a hand and an eye for drawing excavations and that if I continue and hone my skills

Falconry Part 2

A most excellent days excursion . I was unable to fly any bird to the lure on this trip, as the resident Peregrine is now retired and of pensionable age-a shame , because they strike hard and you need to have your nerves still and head calm as they swoop in at speed, all very exhilarating if it comes off well. The weather was warm and calm, so that ruled out any possibility of flying the vultures , as decent thermals are needed to get them airborne , also the large Lappet Vulture was resting du

World War 2 Memories - Pow Post

Here we have a post card from a P.O.W Camp in Halstead Essex, the Camps name is Hasford Lodge. It must be a friend (comrade?) from my grandpa that is still a P.O.W in England while my grandpa is already at home (he was a P.O.W in the USA).   The postal system must be fairly ok at the time, because at the back it says, "got your letter from the 18th September" and this one is dated 29th of September... Other then that he only asks if he (my grandpa) already got married...   This letter was a

New Update...

Ok, so I got my luggage like a day after my last update. I get a call from the security gate that it was dropped off in the middle of the night so me and a friend go to get it. It's a long, LONG trip but to keep things short, we end up getting picked up by Jandarma, which is the crack troops of Turkey. These guys offer us a lift, with the luggage, and they can't speak English and we can't speak Turkish but we can like use hand directions etc. The sgt. of the group was more interested in telling

This Calls For The Help Of Priapus!

I have two lovely plants (umbrella plant and some other tropical doodad) that are spending the summer outside so they can grow nice and big and strong.   Problem is that my resident squirrels don't seem to understand that there are no buried acorns in them!   Lately I've come home almost every other day to find the potting soil ravaged; my poor little plant's roots naked and exposed.   Phase 1 for thwarting their barbaric little advances is a nice layer of cayane pepper on the soil.

World War 2 Memories

I recently discovered some old stuff from my grandpa (who passed away about 10 years ago) in the attic. It is mostly photographs, postcards and war related documents from 1932 to 1948. I thought i share some images i scanned today over the next few weeks in my personal series "WWII Memories".   The first image i scanned today is actually rather unspectacular. A simple postcard from end of January 1944. From someone unknown to me (Dr.med. Elisabeth Obladen) to my grandma. It is stamped in Stutt
