  • @catwing Oh, very nice. 😀 I enjoy learning about the ways cats communicate, and I try to communicate to them in the same ways. One of our cats, Minnie, often does a little nod of her head when she see me, to acknowledge me, so I do that back, and I blink slowly at them, which is a sign of trust or affection.

    Yeah, I’m guessing. We tried watching a series about the ANZACs in WWI, but it was just too real, I couldn’t handle it, and I think my dad ended up finishing it alone. I know the wars were terrible and horrific, and that we should understand that, but I’m blessed to not to have to live through it, and I really don’t want to know just how horrific,…[Read more]

  • @catwing It’s like they can’t understand body language so had to invent a verbal language to make up for their unablity to observe.

    Did you know that cats pretty much only ever meow to humans? In the wild, they only meow as kittens as means of calling to Mamma, but when they reach adulthood, they hardly ever meow. But it seems they’ve found meo…[Read more]

    I have to say, the wars interest me, especially the ANZACs and WWII. I plan on giving War in the Wasteland a try at some point. Dad told me that he figured out it’s actually about C. S. Lewis, but he was called Jack, because that was his nickname when he was young.

    • Oh totally, lots of the wars interest me too, muchly. I just said not ALL war stories are created equal. XD The real life ones—ones based on true stories, esp. CLOSELY based on them—are the best.
      And about C.S. LEWIS! Now I’m really interested. About his involvement in WWI, I guess?

      Have you seen the recent-ish movie Hacksaw Ridge?

    • Yeah, I’m guessing. We tried watching a series about the ANZACs in WWI, but it was just too real, I couldn’t handle it, and I think my dad ended up finishing it alone.

    • Ack yes, I feel that. I’m bad with the gore/real aspect of war movies (gore in any movies, but obviously with war movies it’s worse) and usually just have to look away. It’s so awful, and yes we’re extremely blessed to not have to live through that stuff.

      Hacksaw Ridge is a WWII story, about a young guy who didn’t want to shoot a gun (religious…[Read more]

    • Sounds good! I like the stories where the character wants to do his part, but doesn’t actually want to kill anyone, or not exactly cut out for being a soldier, so they become a medic.

      Is it just a movie, or is there a book?

    • Me too. Healing instead of hurting.

      I don’t know, actually; I seem to remember having heard somewhere that there was a book too, but I couldn’t say for sure.
      Aside from the gore (and language, which is also pretty much inevitable in war movies), and a couple things my mom and dad skipped when we watched it, I SERIOUSLY recommend it. Talk about…[Read more]

    • Zigackly!

      Well, I’ll ask my parents if they’ve seen it as well. It sounds like a good movie.

    • Great. 😀

  • @aratrea All right, thank you. I’ll keep that in mind when we get to that point in our story. 🙂

    XD I wondered if you were correcting me or something. Not yet, I don’t have them. Well, I do have War in the Wasteland, but I let my Dad read that first, because he likes war stories, and I don’t know if I do. 😉 But Dad is actually going to bring back the Crown and Covenant ones from the States for me, because he knew Douglas Bond as a kid and…[Read more]

    • XD Sorry, it would look like that being the first notification of it you got. XD
      I haven’t read War in the Wasteland, but I can say that not all war stories are created equal. 😛 Hope it’s good.
      Autographed! Wow. Cool.

  • @aratrea Thanks, I will let him know.

    I can’t even remember what I said, except something about keeping that in mind (about the backsliding) and not being quite sure what specific event causes Amrei to trust Nylian. I think I said there might not be on specific event, but the fact that they have to trust each other out of necessity to complete…[Read more]

  • @aratrea This isn’t related to these videos, but I wasn’t sure where to ask… My brother (Leumeister) hasn’t yet accessed Theme Mastery. We both got the premium deal, with the extra $80 per person. Is he able to sign in using his Kingdom Pen account to access the course, or does he need to use mine? And what about for the forums for discussion…[Read more]

  • @corissa-maiden-of-praise I take it you’re referring to the one about cat and go-head Australia? XD No worries 😉

  • @salome01w4g Cool. Except you’re in America, so I dunno if it’s as easy here as it seems to be there. 😉

  • @anyone who’s talking about goats
    Some friends of ours moved to a farm a few years back (like a hobby farm where all the animals are pets rather than a proper farm, but it’s great) But they got their first two goats before they moved, so they had these adorable little kids in their backyard! 😀 They have lots of goats now, and horses and one pony,…[Read more]

  • @emily Ooh, Peleg Chronicles! (I haven’t been keeping up with the convo, just saw your response XD ) That’s a great trilogy, though quite preachy, I found, so a non-Christian audience might not like it so much.

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 8 months ago

    My copy is three of Rosemary Sutcliffe’s stories in one book – and I just finished the third one. They’re The Eagle of the Ninth, The Silver Branch and The Lantern-Bearers. My favourite is The Silver Branch, but Eagle is a close second 😉

    I have enjoyed the author masterclasses, though to be honest, I haven’t been watching them lately (which is…[Read more]

  • @aratrea Possibly… I just thought the fact that his relationship with his son wasn’t everything he had hoped it would be was sad. 😛

    I just finished it (again 😛 ) and I have to say, I think I enjoyed his story a little more the second time round – not because I knew what was going to happen though (I had a vague idea, but I couldn’t remember…[Read more]

  • Louise Fowler posted a new activity comment 7 years, 8 months ago

    No worries 🙂 I’ve been reading The Eagle of the Ninth Chronicles by Rosemarry Sutcliffe. It’s really good, some of my favourite historical fiction.
    I have heard of This Changes Everything. I even have my own copy 😉 I haven’t read it yet though. I’m part of Brett Harris and Jaquelle Crowe’s Young Writer’s Workshop. Have you heard of that? 😀

    • Hey Louise! Oh yeah I love that story! I’ve heard the “abridged” audio (though I think that they only scrapped a few sentences) and read some of the book. Rosemary Sutcliffe is one of my absolute favourite authors-which I have already said on my profile….anyways. 😛

      Yes, I have heard of Y.W.W. and I used to be part of it at the very…[Read more]

  • @aratrea That’s a really interesting question… One thing I find sad is that Aquila’s relationship with his son isn’t all he had hoped it would be, so for one thing I’d probably tweak that a little and make them more friendly with each other. 🙂

  • @aratrea Well, it only takes a three or four chapters before his home is destroyed and all that happens. He lives with hate and bitterness for a long time, especially since when he finally finds his sister, she is now the wife of the Saxon man that carried her off and has a child, and when he asks her to escape with him, she stays. It’s not until…[Read more]

  • @corissa-maiden-of-praise That’s funny. That’s really, really cute 😀

    How about this? 😉
