@mariposa I am a bit wary of accepting handshakes from anyone who eats books or is friends with a book-eater.  Can you give me some assurance that my books will not be eaten before I shake your hands?

I like Andy Griffith in moderation – because I am not very fond of Barney.  I like the spin-off, though, Gomer Pyle, USMC.   Bonanza is wond…[Read more]

@seekjustice This will probably sound horribly treasonous to most of you here, but my knowledge of Tolkien extends to Leonard Nimoy’s Ballad of Bilbo Baggins and no farther! 🙂   But I would be happy to read some of his poems.  Can you recommend any specific ones?

I am in the mid-east of the USA.  Think Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virg…[Read more]

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Umm, is that bad or good?

Of course I watch Hogan’s Heroes! The question is, do you watch it?  Who is your favorite character?  I personally love Carter because he’s so adorably out of it most of the time, but when he’s needed, he can do almost anything Hogan wants.  Most of my younger siblings like Sgt. Schultz, of course.

@dekreel apparently you do know something after all, about the other Star Trek series, as Worf is, in fact, a Klingon!  Congratulations and here is an award for passing the trivia test! 🙂

@sam-kowal I have heard of Stan, and he sounds sweet, though not quite as awe-striking as I had been led to believe dragons were supposed to be.  (If it wo…[Read more]

Oh, and @supermonkey42, the historical fiction/sci-fi/fantasy idea could work, if you think about the fact that in the 40s were some of the first recorded “alien sightings” which everyone believes probably meant top-secret Japanese or US technology.  That could be an interesting premise if done right.  It has been used to a small extent in a c…[Read more]

@dekreel I like TOS for its really well written and acted banter between the main cast members, but the true favorite of myself and my brother is Voyager.  However, my favorite character is actually Worf, from TNG and DS9.  So, I guess I like a little from every series.

@supermonkey42 I like the 1910s for the books, the 40s for the drama movies a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy The only “book-poems” I have read are The Courtship of Miles Standish and Shakespeare’s plays, as well as a little bit of Milton’s Paradise Lost which I’m always meaning to finish.  I lean toward the shorter poems that are generally four pages long or less.  Of course, I do know what The Lady of Shallot is about, since after readin…[Read more]

Hi @that_writer_girl_99

I am in the U.S. in the middle of the east coast.  It’s a good place to have less cold than some states and less heat than others.  Though right about now I’m wishing there was more heat! 🙂

@dekreel I guess it’s funny, but I am sometimes more comfortable singing when there are strangers around than talking.  🙂 What do you like to sing?

Favorite books – oh, how do I condense that?  Well, at present two of my favorite authors are Grace Livingston Hill and Carolyn Wells.  I like historical fiction, and some of the best modern au…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I like poetry, but mostly the classic poets, such as Tennyson or Longfellow.  My favorite kind, however, is comic poetry such as that written by W.  S. Gilbert (as in “Gilbert and Sullivan”) or A. A. Milne.  That is the kind I usually write.

My favorite genre to read is historical fiction, but I write a mixture of present-day fi…[Read more]
