Well, I'm finally back from vacation!  My parents treated me to a two week Alaska cruise, so I didn't have much internet access, but got to relax and see some absolutely amazing scenery and wildlife.  Also got to ride the worlds longest zipline (over 1 mile in lenth start to finish - top speed 60 mph).  It was a blast!.   Need to remind myself if I ( Read more... )

But ( Read more... )

To any Aussies on my flist, I need a favor.  Could one of you buy and ship me the board game "Squatter"?  I'm willing to pay for it of course.  We had a copy from when we lived in Perth when I was a kid, but my brother and his family have taken a liking to it and won't give it back to my folks.  I want to replace their game since I have a feeling ( Read more... )

Check your flist, I just got a friending notice about this new journal and it screams Russian Bot.  http://bareymog.livejournal.com/
I noticed on its profile that it has friended Losti, Niennas, Lassegalen and Zee.  So you all might want to check it out.  I've already reported it to the abuse team as a suspect bot.
