I sometimes wonder if the people who write textbooks are a little on the drunken side when they think of examples. Anyone ever seen Telefrancais? "L'annana parle?! N'est pas possible!" Even our math books have weird word problems about Zoe the sheep eating poison weeds in a field with a dog at one end.

Although I never quite understood exactly what was going on. Those are some of the best books we have. They are so *gorgeous* If any of you haven't read them, do so immediately! They're worth every penny you spend on them. -------------------- I was thinking about Companion's, and you know, they don't all have to be reincarnated Heralds that have been in Misty's books. Florian could very well be some Herald we've never met. Actually, maybe a lot of them are just Heralds we've never met. Now, some are pretty obviously certain Heralds, but some of the others may just have similar names. I mean, think about our world, if you believe in reincarnation, just because somebody is named Halexfander doesn't mean he is reincarnated of Alexander the Great. There must be many similar names in Velgarth as there is on Earth. And if they are reincarnated of the Herlads we;ve met, why bother changing the spelling so slightly that they sound the same still, why not just leave the name the way it was originally? Unless the name really doesn't always mean something, besides just being a name. -------------------- Which stories in Catfantastic are the Misty ones? What are they about, I've read Catfantastic I and II, but I don't remember any of them being Misty stories. Okay, sorry this is so long, and mostly off topic, Bye!

But, um...I can't remember who Wintermoon is. Who is Wintermoon? I'm drawing a total blank. But I've always had trouble with those Tayledras names. Starmoonsongwindsongprettycrystalhappybirdthingy. They all sound alike to me. Seriously, *is* there a single Tayledras character that does not have star, moon, song, or wind in his/her name? Oh -- Dawnfire. Okay, I feel a little better. Okay, add in fire; it appears twice. Star, moon, song, wind, fire. Can anyone come up with textevd of a Tayledras name containing none of these syllables? Misty Trivia Game! And how many combinations of the above five words are already Tayledras names? We have Starwing, Moonsong, and Firesong. Any others? Oh -- Silverfox. There's one for 200 points. More?

I DO have a suggestion tho. At our local Barnes and Nobles and Media Play, you can grab a book and sit down and read it right in the store! You might want to check out the bookstores in the area and see if they have the same type of program. Its not as good as buying it and reading it at home, but at least you'll be able to read it! That should satisfy you untill it comes out in paperback and you can afford to buy it! You may also make a suggestion to your local library to pick it up. Who knows, they actually might! BTW, to all of you who have Storm Breaking now, be nice to us poor souls who havent got it yet! All these "hints" are driving crazy me with impatiance! We should have it in next week.

My parents were abused children, who grew up to abuse their children, and who knows how far back the line of abuse stretched? My sister and I decided as children that our children would grow up with encouragemnet and love rather thatn scorn and humiliation. > > Good for both of you! I think thats great! I felt the exact same way as a child! I'm one of the very fortunate few that was "saved" by social services and given the help I so desperately needed. My two kids are growing up much different than I did. To start with, they arent as scared of me as I was of my mom! I have since joined a support network, so that when I feel like I'm going to lose it, I have somewhere to go and someone to talk to. And I try to never forget the two most important things when it comes to those old memories. "It wasnt my fault" and "I'm not alone". It helps alot. To this day, I have NEVER hit my kids! Must have done something right! And hopeful, I've broken the cycle.

With people who actually wanted to learn. As opposed too the people eho were in my class, who just got stuck in there because they needed 10 more credits to graduate, or just had to be in some class during second period, and they often made teaching very hard for the teacher. It didn't help that half of them didn't even know proper English grammar at all, so trying to explain French grammar took *forever* We actually had a test on word parts (verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.) in English, no French on the papaer what so ever. Pretty pathetic huh?

As a gift I give you a little stone that let's you find whatever you want whenever you go shopping, for the price you want. Too bad I can''t really find one of those stones. A name?

I believe it's k'Treva, famous for helping Van, Firesong and...Silvermoon. I may be mistaken. >>Okay, add in fire; it appears twice. Star, moon, song, wind, fire. Can anyone come up with textevd of a Tayledras name containing none of these syllables?<< Silvermoon's out...lesee. Firecat is one, and Silvermoon's other friends are Icehawk and...Darksong? Can't remember, that's bad. I also have Wintermist, but winter is pretty popular, and Sunshadow, but sun is popular too. Those are my characters though. Misty characters, hmmmm. Silence!
