Thank you Tolovaj for your visit to and comments on my selection of Lego Minifigures. You are so right about the improvements on the minifigs and they are getting better and better with facial colouring and hair styles to match real life. The random Lego packs are great fun. However did we manage as kids? ;)

Jo an event in the late 1980's caused me to evaluate my feelings towards my deafness and what it meant to say that I had a 'bad ear'. Until the event, I had always felt embarrassed being deaf in one ear.

Students at Gallaudet University for the deaf went on strike because the board of directors had appointed a new non-hearing impaired president to the university. Since the university had been founded in the mid-1800's it had never had a hearing impaired president. As I recall, the directors claimed that they could not find a qualified hearing impaired candidate. In protest, the students very effectively shutdown the university for days.

I watched the events every night on the nightly news. One night the university staged an event for the new president to speak to the students. She stood in front of a podium and spoke into a microphone. She was totally flustered when the students started yelling "we can't hear you". Soon afterwards the directors found a qualified hearing impaired candidate to be president.

The outrage and determination of the students made me realize that I had nothing to be embarrassed of. Later I had the epiphany that I do not have a 'bad ear'.

I like to live and let live. That is my philosophy, so the question of being married or not is of little importance to my way of thinking. A thought provoking article, Katie. Excellent work!

Ah yes, I love The Joker the best of them all. The statuesque figure is amazing. The Super-Villains are almost as popular as the Supermans and Batmans of the world. Thank you again, Katie, for visiting my articles and taking the time to comment.

Is he a very beautiful border collie? I love that you named him Lugh.

And now you know where the God of Games thing comes from. :D

I read that Lugh was the god of games. I named one of my Border collies Lugh

I have too many blogs now to keep up with as well as I should. WordPress is my favorite. It's very easy to use once you get the hang of it. I wish I had started there instead of with Blogger.

I've been married for 34 years to the same man. Despite life's ups and downs, it's wonderful to know I've shared life's mysteries with the man beside me.I think of marriage as a sacrament that unites two lives. It teaches us how to love beyond our own illusions. It teaches us about ourselves, too.

Thank you very much. You are very sweet. :)

I am trying to keep this up-dated. If anyone thinks that I've missed anything, please do give me a head's up to start my investigations.

Indeed, I've just been through again and up-dated it further. Look at the Quest and Lolapps sections.

You've sold me on the idea. That sounds really good. :)

Man some of you guys are lucky. I have dark brown eye's. I am not really attracted to dark colored eye;s, mostly just light, like blue, green, hazel and you get the memo. I wear gray contacts sometimes, just to make my eyes pop out more.

I've been meaning to tell you and keep forgetting, so while I remember, I decided to leave a comment. Anyone who enjoyed Inception should watch Memento. I LOVE that movie. It is also the same director as Inception. The only way I can think to explain Memento, is that is a lot like Inception, there is a lot going on, and more than one way to interpret characters, and you don't always know who or what to believe. It is about a man who suffered a traumatic head injury and totally lacks the ability to form new memories. His attention span is, give or take, five minutes, and after that he forgets where he is and what he is doing. In order to remember, he leaves himself mementos, for the most part in the form of pictures. Added to all of this, his wife was murdered and he wants revenge; it is the last thing he can actually remember. Half the movie you watch backwards, in five minute intervals, and the other half you watch in a forward progression, in few minute intervals, (the two alternate each other) until both halves meet up near the end, with an ending that will leave you wondering like Inception did. It takes paying attention to, but the pieces fit together well so you don't feel lost, or super confused. It is well done. And, so! If you haven't seen Memento, you really should check it out! :D

I don't know about that. I'm a slow poke at everything I do.
