Well, I see that everyone here has had fun with my Doctor's Hat, going off on a Who trip and what not . . .

I was thinking more along the lines of this:


Always been a big fan of Dr. Seuss since I was yea high.


Anyway, I never got to go to concerts much when I was a teenager - never had the money for tickets and gas and et. al. But thanks to modern technology I got to enjoy one of my favorite voices from high school from the comfort of my own home - before I had to go to work.

Yup, I enjoyed the Pretenders way back then. Always thought Chrissie had a neat way of singing. So she performed yesterday live in London at the Roundhouse, and I got to watch it live on TV yesterday afternoon (we're several hours behind). Her concert was awesome! I got her album and played it on the way to work.

Let's not forget The Fez either!

I love the one with Neil Young!!...Fantastic song...


Question - What are cool?

Answer - Fezzes are cool!!... ...

SPEW !!! That vid !!!

Lets not forget some other cool Doctoring headware

What a nice tribute to the succession of Who's! I saw some of my faves in there!

Tom Baker was my first Doctor. As the saying goes, the first is always special. So that hat and scarf are near and dear to my heart.

David Tenannt is my favorite Doctor though. But he never got much into cranial accoutrements. Come to think of it, he would make a great Ungarion. I can so picture Ungarion saying Allons-y!

I watched them all, in order. The first is not my favorite. I also like Baker best

McCoy, Davison, Smith, Tennant, Capaldi...In that order... ...I will not hijack this thread with further Who...Apologies... ...

The Quarrel of Chorrol and the Squirrel

In this last year, we've been worried to death over the uncertain fate of a dear member who just recently returned to us from the penumbra of that same uncertainty. Though not without scars or memories of darker times, blessedly mALX still draws breath and still remains herself.

In the last few days, we've seen the risen ghost of the very incarnation of single-minded stupidity rise and try once more to upset and 'destroy' Chorrol. (How do you destroy a concept?)

Well before all this; going over a year now there was a conflict that preceded her disappearance. I'm not going into details, I'm not naming names, I'm not pointing fingers. That's kind of the opposite of what this letter entails. Rather I will say that I lowered myself to the perceived levels of others that I felt went overboard in regards to myself, and her.

It was thought that I was emotional and that I would let it go after I cleared the air. This clearly wasn't the case as I've maintained my position and rhetoric over these many months.

Yes, I know that I'm the only one who keeps bringing it up, and that we're all sick and tired of it.

At the behest of a dear friend, whom I wish to state unequivocally did not encourage me to take this position, indeed begged me to let it go almost from the get-go, and whom I martyred in many ways during her absence, still asks me to let it go and to return in some capacity.

Because she asks, and because she is okay: I will as much as I am capable let it go. No more rhetoric, no more cryptic posts that embody my bitterness to the reaction of rolling eyes. It's been over for some time, I'm joining the present moment.

Do not get this twisted, however. Forgiveness is not a word that has entered my vocabulary in the last few days. It may come in time, it may not. I'm just stopping my constant resurrection of it.

Just as in the face of a common enemy I'll come back and fight for a person that I call friend, I'll rise again if they are treated as such again.

But I'm letting this fight end now, just to end this farce of constant pain.
Let the end of it be welcome now, my struggle with the anger be in vain.

For mALX,

Signed,

Black Hand

*Smiles*...

*Nods with satisfaction*...

*Embraces and pats friend on back*...

Fair dues...Missed ya buddy... ... ...

I'm in tears - thank you, Blackie. You are a HUGE part of my heart, you know that. I couldn't post enough hugging emoticons to express the number I feel...thank you with all my heart! <33333

The snow glows white in the mountain tonight, not a footprint to be seen...

Snow globes? I collected all seven of them in New Vegas. Oooh, I love your signature!

Earlier I diffused a tantrum of Snuggles' by getting down to his level and telling him to breathe deeply, then breathing with him. For a four year old with speech delay, he does really well when he's frustrated.

Boys are always slower than girls to start speech, but is he really four already? GAAAAAAAH! What happened? He was just one the last time I looked ... or was it two?

He was three last year when you took your break lol

I missed his 3rd birthday?


I like what you did there to get him to stop the tantrum. Really nice mothering, Liz!

He turned four in March, so no. Just his fourth.

I'm actually surprised he followed along.

That's probably just what he needed, some attention from Mommy anyway. I think I'm just thinking about the vids, you know? Because if he turned 3 March of 2013, then I was there for it. Just not remembering it - but am remembering vids of him sitting in your lap making werewolf howls.
