Throw the card in the nearest dumpster. If he didn't care enough to keep his card safe it's probably maxed out anyway and has to eat down at Salvation Army Free Meal site. Chances of a reward are next to zero. I'd ditch the pants too. You climb into a Goodwill box and go to sleep until it's light out. Then you look for something that fits you. The box keeps you hidden from the Klingons who are chasing you and keeps the dogs off you too. And you might find a candy bar in there too. NOW, what was the question again??

Start beating yourself up. Jump up and down, twirl, blow kisses at the Klingons, insult their Mamas and yell insults about their heritage and lack of honour. Then Play dead. OR................

Run right at them.............................???

AAWWWWWWWWW

The men stayed on the computers for hours. After the girls got the kichen cleaned up they joined them. All eight computers were now logged into the site. Lida joined Aaron on his, she sort of sat on his lap. There was Aaron, Addie, Able, Cain, Bart, Abigail, Beth and Calliope. Everyone was laughing and having a great night. When from below, in one of the stalls, a bleating cry pierced the laughter.

Addie was the first one down the ladder. "It's Maybelle. She's sick, I think. Lida. Aaron, come help her, she's sick. Hurry!" Addie screamed. One of the female goats was having a kidd.No one even noticed she was pregnant.

"Aaron, go in the house and get some towels?" Lida said.

Aaron took off running towards the house. Halfway there he tripped and fell on his face, getting up he ran into the house. A few minutes later he came sprinting back towards the barn.

Maybelle stood in the corner of her stall by herself.

Falling over with each contraction then getting up when it was over.

Lida sat down on the straw and tried to comfort her.

Rubbing her head and stroking her sides.

"It's O.K. Maybelle. We're right here. We'll help you now." She kept telling the grunting, bleeting, labouring animal.: Aaron rolled up his sleeves. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do but that seemed like a start. He knelt down beside Maybelle. "Aw Crap! I can see it's head." Aaron exclaimed. "Boys, get your father. Hurry!" He told them. They took off for the house.

"What's Abe supposed to do, Aaron?" Lida asked him. "Boys" She yelled to them. "Let your father sleep. I can take care of this." Lida said. The boys came back in the stall.

Lida knelt down behind the goat. She could see the kidd's head now too.

She stroked Maybelle's rock hard belly and spoke softly to her. Encouraging her and trying to keep her calm and quiet.

When with after a few more contractions the baby plopped out onto the hay.

Lida wiped the baby's face with a towel and cleaned off the afterbirth.

Maybelle quickly ate it.

Then began licking her new baby girl.

There wasn't a dry eye.

They climbed the ladder to the loft, Bart went up first. Once everyone got up there they all took a computer. Bart sat next to Taffita who had been up there since they arrived. Bart looked at Taffita and she looked at him. "I remember you from the road." He said to her. "Yea, so?" Taffita answered sarcasticly and pretended to ignore him. Bart logged onto the site. He got the feeling she didn't like him at all and decided to ignore her too.

Abe and Becka were so happy to be at the farm finally. It took them 5 days on the road to cross half of Indiana. Two of the buggies were also pulling large hay wagons full of animals in cages and some walked behing tethered to the wagons. It was a hard trip for the animals so extra food and water and comfort had to be given to them at this time. Everyone knew that. Especially the younger animals. They had to stop frequently along the way when the young ones tired. They would be put into a wagon and ride for a while then trade places with those who walked for a while. Everyone was exhausted and it showed on their faces.

All the animals taken care of now and in the barn and some of the out-buildings for the night. The entire family sat down for supper. Taffita was being difficult and chose not to eat. Lida sat and fretted all during supper over it. Addie was so excited she didn't stop talking. Her three girl cousins were so happy she was still here. The boys seemed to be more interested in talking with Aaron about 'Guy' stuff.

Abe and Becka were just wiped out. "Mind if we hit the hay everyone?" Abe said as they finished their dessert. "No, go right ahead." Aaron said. "Take any bedroom but the first two at the top of the stairs on the right." Aaron winked at Lida. "Sure, we know the way." Becka said. And Abe and Becka went upstairs. "Can you girls start cleaning up for me?" Lida asked They all jumped up and quickly cleared the table and started washing the dishes. Bart cleared his throat. "How bout we all go out to the barn and get on the site?" He said to the men. "Yea, lets go." Able and Cain said too. They all went out the back door.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Dominic Monaghan, an actor best known as one of the guardians of the ring in the Oscar-winning "Lord of the Rings" movies, is on the phone from Hawaii, where he's just embarked on another jewelry quest, this time searching for earrings to send his mother for her birthday. There doesn't have to be anything mystical about the earrings, but they can't be too dangly.

Along the way, there are certainly myriad obstacles. Over the course of a 25-minute interview, Monaghan is stopped repeatedly for autographs and pictures. He's also accosted by one person who knows the unassuming thespian looks familiar, but can't identify him. Monaghan cops to being an actor, but notes only that he's filming "Lost" on the island for ABC.

Alot of fear there. Especially when the trees star swaying. Eww, maybe it's his father's ghost???? Of course I don't know anything yet. OOPS, who would steal the water???? Who had it last???? Alot of Flash-backs, aren't there.

Jack better get some sleep. Who is THAT GUY he keeps seeing everywhere anyway??? I have a feeling this is going to be going on for a long time.

The 'Zarya Unity Complex'. Aka the 'International Space Station'.

OH YEA Start a Petition, we'll send it to someone.

Lida estimated they were at least 15 miles from the farm yet. She decided to land and talk with them. She went around behind them and decreased her speed. Pulled back on the throttle and forward on the yolk. She would land ahead of them on the road. As she flew over them she rocked her wings. Then touched down on the street a few hundred feet ahead of them and cut the engine and rolled to a stop. Abe gave his horse a few tugs on the reigns to speed him up and the buggies drove right up to the plane. Lida, Addie and Taffita hopped out of the plane. The boys, Able, Bart and Cain had already stopped their buggie and were running up to the plane. Addie ran to them and they all hugged their little cousin. When Bart spotted Taffita. "And who is this?" He asked Addie. with a smile. Taffita noticed Bart right away as well. "Hi, I'm Taffita." She said. "I'm Bart." He answered as he held out his hand for a polite handshake. "Nice to meet cha." Taffita said.

The girls were excited at the prospect of learning how to fly. They both fidgited in the seat beside Lida as they taxied to the front of the house again to take off from the dirt road. They squeeled as the plane left the ground and Lida pulled back on the yolk. They flew off in the direction of town. "Oh, there's Aaron and Smog, Lida!" Taffita yelled as they flew over him. Lida made a hard right bank and pushed forward on the yolk and eased back on the throttle. "Let's buzz him." Lida said. "O.K.!" The girls answered. The plane flew towards Aaron who was standing in the middle of the street below waving his hat. "And there's Smog! Hi Smog!" Taffita and Addie yelled as they waved. Smog did a bit of a dance below, the sound of the engine aggitated him, being so close.

Lida and the girls flew off into the distance. Tilting her wings, waving good-bye to Aaron and Smog. They flew along the road for a few minutes when Lida spotted something coming towards them from the West on the road below. It looks like a crowd of something. It was Abe and Becka and the family. Intermingled among the buggies were herds of animals. The two elelphants, Ella and Ephram right behind the first buggy. "LOOK!" Lida yelled. It's your Uncle Abe and Aunt Becka and all your cousins down there. They are here!!" Addie began to cry.

After lunch Taffita and Addie were a bit antsy. All the animals had been taken care of earlier in the day. But now the generator won't run until Aaron gets back with the gas. So Lida decided to take the girls to the plane for another lesson. "Come on you two. Let's go flying." She said to them. They beat her out the back door and to the plane.

As Lida was doing the pre-flight. She noticed a wet muddy footprint on the wing. and the gas cap on the tank was off. A piece of rubber hose sticking out of it. There was a spot of gasoline on the ground with some human excretions mixed in with it. "He tried to siphon gas out of here, that idiot." She said out loud. "What?" Taffita yelled from inside the plane. "Nothing, just thinking outloud." She answered.

After telling him to wait a minute, Lida ran back into the kitchen. Threw a half a loaf of bread, some cheese and a small jar of applesauce in a small pail and brought it back out to Aaron who was in the buggy. "Here, in case you get lost. I don't want you starving to death somewhere." She handed up the pail to him. Smog took that as a sign to get going and he began to walk away from the house pulling the buggy. They clip-clopped up the dirt road towards the street.

After breakfast the next morning, Aaron went right out to the loft. Started the generator, then climbed the ladder. He had just logged onto the site when he heard the generator sputter then stop. :) He climbed back down the ladder and looked at the guage. It was empty. He checked around the barn for a fuel can. He found several but they were all empty. :)

Good Morning Everyone. :) The B.P. is at 29.7 and rising. It's 60 degrees and overcast. A slight Easterly breeze coming off the lake right now. The leaves haven't really started turning here yet, just the treetops. But that'll change real soon. :)

I still miss Airies. :)

To explain... One person names a situation, then lists two options.

The next person chooses an option and says what will happen next. Then list two new options.

Repeat.

OH, ws, you are REALLY asking for it with this one :) Wait til Fen gets a look at this :) He does this ALL the time in real life.

OK,here goes. I'd retreat. I don't like tribbles.

*Your standing on a street corner. A guy comes running up to you, all out of breath and looking back over his shoulder. He holds out a paper sack full of $100. dollar bills. {Must be thousands of dollars in the sack}. He says to you "Here, take it, take it, take it, take it. You know someone is chasing him and the money is probably stolen. :) Do you:

1. Take it and start running yourself ? OR

2. Run like h*ll away from the guy? :)

I think it's a sliding scale on a bendy road :) :) what ever that means, I'm tired, don't listen to me. :)

When you're in a good mood you don't tend to notice the bad, but when something really bad happens you start noticing all the bad things.

Good observation nem. Kind of puts you in a certain mind-set doesn't it?

There were eight computers in the loft. Aaron, Lida, Taffita and Addie were all at one. They were all logged into STF.Net and having a great time. The user list was huge. They had never seen so many people on at the same time before. The list went all the way down the right side of the page. Must have been 150 members logged on. Lida said to everyone. "I bet VBG is pulling his hair out by now." Everyone laughed. since Abe and Becka were on the road from Lafayette on their way there they weren't on. Neither were Bungalo Bill or Cool_Hand_Lenny. They were also on the road with their caravan of horse trailers in tow.

But ILikeSeven was on. He was Freaking Out there in Holland. "There is no one here in my village. It's like the Twlight Zone here!!" He said in chatroom. Then he PMed Lida. 'Help!! What do we do?? How will I get me and my family to Eden Jeanway??" We want to come. Please Help us." Your Friend M***** {ILikeSeven}. Lida forwarded the PM to Aaron, even though he was sitting right next to her. "Here, read this." She said to him. Aaron read the PM from ILS.
