  1. I now have at least 100 or more. Recently a salvage store was selling the stock of a bookstore insurance buy-out. All the books were 80-90% off the original price. Needless to say I went hog-wild. I mainly bought the paperbacks, but I also bought a few hardbounds. I literally had to create a bookcase for my new acquisitions! And I intend to read each and every one of them! :frusty:

     

    By the way, my very first Star Trek book was the original Starfleet Technical Manual, published in the 70s. :frusty:


  2. Congrats iamdax! I'm very happy for you.

     

    How about Larkin? It could be either a boy's or girl's name. Many years ago I had a girl friend who's name is Larkin. My fiancee's name is Larkin. You don't hear that name very often. I think it's rather unique.

     

    Also for a girl's name, I'm rather partial to Riaan.

     

    Again congrats!


  3. Good Morning all,

     

    Commodore Riaan reporting in.

     

    It looks as if we are in the direct path of Ivan. It should hit the Gulf coast of Alabama/Florida sometime Thursday morning. We are battening down all hatches and beginning to brace for full impact. Any and all prayers are more than welcome!

     

    Riaan out (for now)


  4. I had to vote for Captain Jean Luc Picard for two reasons:

     

    1. My boyfriend looks like Jean Luc/Patrick Stewart with a mustache. :unsure:

     

    2. Captain Jonathan Archer isn't a red shirt. :notworthy:
