Exactly the reason why it is inadvisable to try random plant medicines without knowing what you are doing...you see them everywhere in stores, and in books and such. It's kind of scary, people have no idea what they are actually taking and since things are not regulated, how much of it. Though it's amazing how helpful the knowledge of a few different plants can be. I'd love to meet a Roman medicus and learn his trade

It seems to me, that many people go through similar changes in outlook during the course of their lifetimes. It's a part of growing up, of reaching a point where you are most comfortable, of carving out your own little niche so to speak. Everyone is affected by events the events of life in different ways, and it affects outlook as well. I've gone through several such stages, and I am perfectly content where I am now (when it comes to my religious beliefs, anyway). I've tried many religions, and I've never felt what I do now with any other. I've been wiccan, but something just wasn't right there...I was just going through the motions. I was Christian once as well, and though I believed with what seemed to me to be all of my heart, I felt no love in return. I was atheist, however something seemed to be missing...I felt as if I were reaching for something and not finding it...it was empty. I finally became pagan...first with the Celtic pantheon and then the Roman as well...and I feel the love that I have a feeling I was supposed to feel with all of those other religions...the emptiness is gone now

As well as the basic forum questions (you know, the "I forgot my password", the "I can't log in"...the technical stuff...it might be more important on a forum like this because it is so evolved...with so many features that aren't on most forums and many may not know how to use them)

I don't know about Triumvers but I think its a mighty fine idea

afaik there isn't an FAQ for the forum, I don't know about the site. As for the posting ranks they can be found here: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?s=&sho...indpost&p=17885

Wow really? I'm proud to have such an esteemed scholar around!

lol thanks. Seriously, I can't wait till it gets here (and btw it was her with the coffee, not me. I just happened to catch her in a good mood and didn't directly ask )

Yea lol I guess I caught her in a bad mood the other day. I know I could never (willingly at any rate) so "no" to such an educational (and beautiful!) gift. I'm trying to think of where in my house I can hang it...and maybe stopping by AC Moore at some point to get a frame for it

Yea lol things have a way of working out for me...after they go wrong for a time. Praise the Gods

YAY! Caught mom in a good mood (with cup of coffee in hand lol) and she actually let me give my address (after I showed her the site) YAY! YAAAY! LOL Thanks everyone!

It would depend on where the weapon was in relation to them or the enemy whether or not they would pick it up (if they would die doing so, well, I would assume they would not pick that up) It's also safe to assume that they would probably not pick up an unusable weapon. However, it wasn't necessarily the legion's own weapons they were picking up. If it was something thrown AT them, it probably wasn't the pila that they themselves were throwing

Lol that DOES seem like fun. We do similar things on Halloween in my neighborhood...well with the scaring I mean. My friend decorates her garage and anyone who comes in will be scared...because someone is always under the table grabbing people's legs (it was me, this year)

LOL no, definitely not.

lol I wish I could do that, but she'd kill me if I did that. I'm looking to convince her (after I convince my dad, which shouldn't be hard) that if it's ok with him, there's no reason she should be worried about it. If I give out her email address she just may throw the computer out the window before I get the chance to do anything lol.

I actually think that Caligula *wasn't* as crazy as everyone seems to think...most of it, it seems stems from misinterpreted texts, which became exhadgerated Hollywood films, which became "historical fact" (btw am I the *only* one who thinks that horse as consul thing actually WAS funny?) BTW welcome Phil, excellent first posts I hope to see more of them

Congrats on the new addition Spurius! ::raises a glass:: I really hope so too lol. I'm going to (hopefully) ask my dad about it today if he ever gets online. Congrats to everyone, Gods bless.

Can we see a picture of it? I have an apache tear arrowhead (I think that's what it is) though there is no doubt in my mind that it *isn't* ancient. I'm almost positive it's a modern recreation. I've wrapped it with wire to be worn as a necklace. I also have a piece of flourite...it isn't an arrowhead...I understand the compulsion to touch and hold stones and such...I'm drawn to my flourite the same way...actually many stones...I have a collection. LOL when I moved I had not unpacked my crystals yet and was suffering from a "crystal deficiency" untill I unpacked them and put them out in my room.

mmmm I hope it tasted as good as it looks

The short time I worked (during summer vacation) I wouldn't have minded being friends with my coworkers, but it leads to awkward situations if something comes up between you...then you h ave to work with them everyday...

I'm going to talk to my dad...I'll be at his house the week after christmas anyway...it can't be sent to my mom's work. My mom distrusts anything that is online...I'll probably have to tell her that dad bought it for me...
