Are you kidding me? There is actually a CD? Are they really making good music, or is it a spoof?
From what the reviews on Amazon say, its one of those CD’s that’s so bad its good… 😆

The housing prices are a lot cheaper in Oregon! I have some friends that moved up there because of that. But don’t you get a lot more rain there than in California?

The taxes in MA are crazy too. I STILL haven’t been able to find a house I can afford and the market is in the tiolet right now.
It’s too expensive to retire in CA unless you’ve lived here your whole life…
And people who move from CA to cheaper areas might not be able to come back in the future…I vote for aquamarine. Viridian is also good, but I think a lot of people wouldn’t know what that is…I had to look it up….
I like the idea of spectrals with normal eyes…and the baby spectral idea is great too. Why not do those with normal eyes since the “spectral eyes” aren’t available in the baby size? I really like the rising spectral pose, I don’t have a big preference about the eyes…
Wow, what a mess…I really sympathize. Given how much damage there is, are you considering getting a new car and getting the insurance to put the $10,000 towards that instead?

Here’s my recipe, which was pirated from several other recipes including my great Aunt Corinne’s :Ingrediants:
(FILLING)
1-1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (or beef or lamb)
1 bag frozen carrot/pea mix
1/2 small golden onion
1 clove garlic
1 tblsp olive oil
1 cup beef broth (or 1 cup water + beef bullion)
rosemary
thyme
nutmeg
worchestshire sauce
salt/pepper(MASHED POTATOES)
4 yukon gold potatoes
milk
1 tblsp butter or margarine
salt/pepper
paprika-Start potatoes: cut potatoes into equal chunks and set to boil in generously salted water – allow to boil on low until filling is completed
-Mince onion and garlic; sautee in olive oil until tender (don’t burn the garlic!)
-add ground meat and cook until brown
-you can attempt to drain the fat if you like
-add beef broth (or water and bullion) and bring to boil
-add spices and worchestshire sauce to taste (I usually do a pinch of each spice, a generous splash of the worchestshire and then salt and pepper)
-add about half a bag of the fozen carrot/pea mix; mix in
-boil until liquid is gone; taste and add any additional spices if necessaryWhen the liquid is close to being boiled off, finish up the potatoes
-drain potatoes
-add butter salt and pepper
-begin to mash (I use a hand held electric mixer) add milk slowly while mashing to achieve desired creaminess-add filling to cassarole dish
-spoon potatoes evenly across filling
-sprinkle potatoes with paprika
-cover and bake in preheated oven at 400 for 30 min. (if a slightly crispy crust is desired on potatoes, uncover for the last 10 minutes of baking)….hmm. That seems long and complicated looking at it now…it’s really not that hard, though. Sorry, I know there’s a science to writing out recipes, but I just wrote this one up off the top of my head…I hope it’s not too confusing or convoluted.
I made this last night. It was pretty darn good. My bf liked it too, though he had nothing to compare it to since he had never had sheppards pie. He told me he didnt think sheppards ate this. I told him I visited http://www.sheppards.com and asked them and this was indeed what they ate. Where did he think I got the recipe?? Thanks for posting it!
Arlla and Ski, how much salt and pepper did you guys use? I’m really bad at doing things “to taste”…I always measure everything…Thanks for the report, DM! That sounds really neat.
Did the color scheme for the peacock emerald hybrid dragons that you saw look like the ones that Melody did for the old warrior and the secret keeper that are posted in the ebay sales gallery?

Some I have sold, but I always buy more in their place. Now that I think about it, I should seriously consider the extra insurance clause just for my Windstones! 😯 Does anyone else have insurance for their Windstone collection? I know we discussed it on another thread and I have USAA, so maybe it’s something to look into.
Yes, I was curious about that too. I will be moving (hopefully before Christmas) and it has crossed my mind about insuring them. I just don’t know if it’s worth it or not, although I would definetely consider it if I was in an apartment complex. Just one idiot not watching a lit candle or waterbed with a hole and that beautiful collection is caputs!
If you have homeowners insurance you might already be covered depending on how much other artwork you have. I think its pretty standard for most policies to provide up to $10,000 coverage for artwork.

Me too. I’m empathize with animals a lot more than humans…so I donate to animal related causes/organizations much more often the ones for humans…
I have a little over 40 Windstones and I think I’ve spent a total of about $5000 so far. The orange tabby and gray tabby flapcats were the most expensive — a little over $500 for each of those.
I think I’ll be spending a lot more soon with all of the new stuff coming out… 😯
Thanks Nirvana! That’s really neat info on the moths. I think I like the hummingbird sized ones the best… 🙂
