Why do I have so much stuff. 3 closets full of boxes of "stuff". Do I really need to keep my VHS tape of a Jimmy Buffett appearance on Letterman?

You can probably find it on youtube anyway, or you can upload it yourself! :pQuote:

But no...being a queen would take all the fun out of life....
indeed...it is much better to be an Emperor!Quote:

Nah, I can't agree here. I can't see the fun in being an Emperor when all that surround him are chains. He can't walk/wander around like normal people, and has soooo many responsibilities to cope with...maybe it's just me, but I don't find it much appealing! :DQuote:

Does it yearn for honour, do you here the cry of the warrior, beackoning you to battle, beackoning your to glory?
No. I think it's yearning for a chili cheese dog.

EDIT: Aww. He only had a lisp when he was old because he refused to wear dentures! Tough old guy! It was really Thomas Jefferson who had the lifelong lisp! Hahahaha! I'm laughing so hard, now! Imagining America's Founding Fathers with lisps makes me laugh hysterically. (And squeal as well! Makes me wanna hug 'em even more!)
They would be so mad at me right now. *Hides under the computer desk from a potential founding father ghostie attack*
Leave it up to me to post something like this! :D :thumbs_up
"Thith ith the United Thateth!" "What do you think you're dointh, the Britith are cominth!" Ooh, it must have been hard to take them seriously until you really got used to it. Does anybody here lisp? What is it like, to have to deal with that? I have wierd hiccups, and I laugh wierd sometimes, so I know I get annoyed when made fun of for that, but it's not the same.
How about, "Weeth holth theeth thruths tooth beeth thelf-evidenth..."
:lol: Oh my gosh, I love the Founding Fathers...I really wish I had tape recordings of them! I've always wondered what their voices sounded like.
a suggestion, Lily. See if you can find the book "Founding Brothers." It's ten chapters, written by a historian, and reads similar to a novel, but tells you all about ten different events that took place in those "first years," and a few before them. Good stuff, I really enjoyed learning more about our history.
Yes, yes, I have been planning to read that for a while now. :nod:
Tell me how you like it. :)
Alright, I will!
Oh! That reminds me, there is also a book on the ladies of the Revolution. The book's title is, you guessed it, Founding Mothers. I haven't read that, either, but I saw it at Barnes and Noble and I plan on reading that, too. So many books to read, so little time...
Sounds like a good one . . . do you enjoy historical fiction or h. nonfic? or both?
Both, of course! :D
I'm glad I have a John Adams doll to take out all my squeeage on. (You should all be considered fortunate, too!) I make him walk across my desk when I need a homework break, etc. I got him in Quincy, Massachusetts, and when I was in Boston all the gift shops had George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin, Abigail Adams, Revere, Martha Jefferson, etc. dolls, but they were so expense, so I could only buy one. :bawling: I wanted all of them so I could make little historical puppet plays in my room. :( My John one has a quill in his hand and letters to Abigail in the other. the Abigail doll has a quill, too and letters to John! My poor little John doll is friendless he just sits on my bookshelf all alone. :(
Where is Schokokeks with some cookies? I really need some. :D
I didn't know Thomas Jefferson had a lisp. That makes me think of Cindy from the Brady Bunch. Now I must worry if TJ had a Kitty Carryall doll....:( ;)
Uh, I get the impression if I mock one of our nation's great founding fathers Miss Lily will beat me up in a very genteel lady like fashion. :p
*edit*
gah! No offense meant if anybody really does lisp!

I wonder who invented the dental floss?
Well, founding fathers of the USA is an interesting topic, but one of my favourite periods of US history is the civil war period, very fascinating!
It's wonderful to come back again. I missed this place.
:nod: I know a bit about the civil war, too. So interesting...Quote:

Indeed there are a great many things that can be studied in this period, but my preference does lie with the technological/architectural branch, but the anthropological interactions of these periods are fascinating.Quote:
