How many Frazzles is too much?

3 bags? I reckon that up to 2 bags you're going to be okay. However, beware of the supermarket own brand giant bags - they are waaay too big for one person and over salted.

I'd be more interested to learn: "How many Fraggles are too much"?

Here's the one the same guy took of the ISS, Earth, and the Milky Way in between. I figured someone must have taken a picture of space from the ISS but, so, far, I haven't found any. I mean, pointing away from Earth, while the ISS is in Earths' shadow should be knockout.

Did y'all know that Britain was attached to the mainland about 10,000 years ago and the landbridge was cut off by a tsunami??!?! I never knew that! Kinda like getting stranded on a HUGE boat!

That's why we're always one step away from mutiny, Whicky.

But yes, as Ping says, a lot of the North Sea and most of the English Channel was dry land until the end of the last Ice Age. Fishermen over Dogger Bank and other areas regularly bring up stone axes and mammoth bones and the like in their nets.

Ironically, a large part of central North America was underwater at about the same time - Lake Agassiz.

Kinda a fascinating thought, really. Cut off from the rest of the world to develop in your very own way for a very, very long time. There are times I could definitely do that. In fact, most of the time.

Goldfrapp Island, anyone?

Hahaha! No, you know I had that one experience, one night, where I babbled like crazy. And, yes, I can easily be motivated to do that but it just wasn't fun because I realized I had offended, at least, a few people. I can't blame them in the least. That was what I kept trying to get across to Alan. Anyways, I don't like feeling like I've been inundating since that night. Heck, I'm kinda suprised I have as many posts as I have. Lately, about all I've posted is Add a Word. I don't know, I was thinking about exactly that today, in fact. Sometimes, I feel like I have something to say on everything and, then.....nothing. I read most of the threads every time I come on to see if there's a word to add and...nothing! I even got turned off from offering comfort on a couple of threads. Weird. Hahahaha! And, probably a blessing. It is soooo easy to get me started. This post as case in point! Certainly one thing that stikes me pretty dumb, from time to time, is when I realize I'm going to miss another concert. Sigh.

Oh oh.

We have access to a bit more info now, including post-totals over the past month. I don't even feature in the top 10, tut-tut.

Howdy, Stranger!
