LOL @ your post, Lokie!!! I used to know how to play the piano, but I never used that knowledge outside of lessons, and now I remember nothing. I wish to learn it because it was recommended that piano lessons be taken while learning to read sheet music. This way, one has knowledge of the way the notes sound on paper. I have one dog; there used to be a time when we had two dogs, two birds, and a cat that adopted us, but those days are done. And I hear you on time for video games. Why, just yesterday I put off studying so I could play Pokemon Platinum! And I have to beat the first God of War before I can remove the shrink wrap from the second one. I did, however, make the time to finally start Legend of Zelda: Four Swords for the Gamecube!
Welcome and good luck on getting the Black Unicorn family! Windstone did make a few Grand Unicorns in black, but they are harder to track down. I know you made mention of that in the Flea Market Wish List.
I’m sorry you couldn’t take advantage of JET, siberakh, when they offered you a position. I believe there’s still a demand for it. I don’t blame you for wanting to pay off your student loans first; getting rid of your debt before you make a move like this is smart. I also know what you mean about people not caring for the situation they get themselves in; while I was in school someone dropped out of the homestay program. I had never heard of that before! Computers are annoying and draining in configuration ways, but hey, I finally got my mouse tracking in both directions yesterday, so I am a happy camper now!

Let’s just say …. I remember drooling over Ms. Melodys Pegasus line of statues when I was a squirt working at that TB farm and as I like to say, “I am not that old, I am perpetually young at heart, some days I feel 12 years of age and some days I feel 30++.” And for that matter, neither is Ms. Melody! When I think about it, I am probably just taking after my Pop, remember, he lied about his age too! 😀
LOL, I just wanted to know how long you’d been working with horses! I never would ask for an exact year, I know some people are sensitive about their age. I can tell from your post, thank you for sharing, that you have been around horses for many happy years! By the way, I used to want to be a veterinarian.
Siberakh1: Some people have had a hard time installing Rosetta Stone for some reason; maybe it’s the way their computers are configured. To supplement Rosetta Stone, I’d start with the Genki Series of Japanese books; it has two books, each one with a workbook. They also teach you elementary kanji. I haven’t heard anything about the Japanese for Busy People series, but I do know something about JET. I knew someone who made it into the program while still in school. It’s not hard to get into; they place you where you need to be in Japan, give you about a week to get settled, and then it’s off to work. I’ve never heard of anyone dissatisfied with it, though. If you want to go to Morocco, I recommend going in a group; I went with about fifteen people. Some of the salespeople on the streets can be very aggressive; they will follow you for a couple blocks if you show any interest in their products.
GB: There once was a time when I would eat books, I read them so avidly. I say I “collect” them now because it seems like I’m amassing books without reading them. So I have a bunch of books that I intend to read, but haven’t made the time. I have so many books they’re spilling over into other rooms! My manga is not in my room, there’s no room! I love reading fantasy books: I’ve read all of Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar series, except Foundation, her new one (waiting for that one in paperback) and The Valdemar Companion. I’m getting into Tad Williams (I’ve read Tailchaser’s Song, and have a whole lot more by him waiting for my time to open up) and Julie E. Czerneda. I’ve never liked Anne McCaffrey or Forgotten Realms, and I’m not into Dragonlance either (although I read the War of the Lance series and thought it was superb!) Right now I’m trying to read more serious fare, like Of Human Bondage, Kim, Sons and Lovers, those kind of stories. I need some more shelves! Sounds like you do, too!
