Annoyed I had never heard of it, I promptly Googled it and read the first two or three paragraphs, as I was in the middle of doing something else. I replied that I had lived in Charleston and had never once met William Legrand.<br /><br />At this particular moment, I'm about half-way thru the story. Jup is still at the end of the seventh limb of the tulip tree. Unfortunately for him, he'll have to stay there because I'm in the middle of doing something else right now.k. riggs gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807633349311664382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-20644527178812048382009-11-21T05:25:12.301-08:002009-11-21T05:25:12.301-08:00You are, Weirsdo.

The tribe recites to its chicks, with awe and horror, the tale of one who trusted instead in the reports of currency traders. It lost everything in a market crash and went mad, projecting its despair into <a href="http://www.heise.de/ix/raven/Literature/Lore/TheRaven.html" rel="nofollow">the hearts and minds of humankind</a>, leading to a lasting enmity between the two species.the amoebahttp://ocquill.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-72484457361736747532009-11-20T08:12:57.920-08:002009-11-20T08:12:57.920-08:00Gold bug: I am thinking of a nice pretty ladybug b...Gold bug: I am thinking of a nice pretty ladybug brooch with diamond eyes and ruby spots.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GWYE_enUS277US286&ei=9r4GS-vCComtngfK1fzMCw&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&ved=0CB4QBSgA&q=%22ladybug+brooch%22&spell=1" rel="nofollow">Ladybug Brooch Shopping</a><br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-37823463495293155522009-11-20T07:51:09.204-08:002009-11-20T07:51:09.204-08:00I used to be a gold-bug.
