May all my friends be under the protection of the Lord of Wild Beasts, the Green Man, ruler of woods, nature, animals and plants. May your 2008 bring you flowers to lighten your lives, and fruits to enrich it, and seeds to plant for the future. Be happy and know you deserve it!

QotD: Best Gift of '07

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 10:32:22 +0100

What's the best gift you received this year?

No doubt!!! The Celestron Sky Scout!!!

It's a GPS portable planetarium that tells you what's the star you are looking at, and also where to find the star/planet/nebula/comet/constellation you want to see!!!!! My partner tortured me with hints for one month and a half but I could NOT guess it, as I didn't know such a lovely thing exixted! :))))))

QotD: A Scent for Stepping Out

What fragrance/cologne do you put on when it's your night out?
Submitted by noiq.

I started using Charlie in 1978.... and I'm not tired of it, yet! It makes me feel soooooooooo good! A couple of years ago Revlon suspended the production, so I bought 10 (or 11?) 100 ml. bottles and I stored them away, so I'm sure my supply will last for long long years! (and after thet, they started producing it again!)

QotD: Holiday Cards

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 16:43:50 +0100

Were your holiday cards store bought, handmade, online, TBD or MIA?

I do my holiday shopping on 12 months, so on september I usually have all my gifts ready and packed, and I have plenty of time for creative sessions with stamps, ribbons, paper cuttings, embossing powders and so on.... OF COURSE I make all my xmas cards! It's such a fun that I really can't see the point of buying them ready!

What are your irrational fears?
Submitted by Dan Culhane.

QotD: Computer Recycling

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 14:49:23 +0100

Have you ever recycled an old computer or laptop? Where did you take it, and what steps did you take to protect your personal information?

I gave three to friends... in need, and without money to buy a new one. I didn't take particular steps to protect personal informations, because I completely formatted them, and installed a new O.S. And after all, they're friends.
