Well, it seems possible to only lay one egg.  I'll try to keep this no stronger than PG rated.  I learned in Anatomy & Physiology that the female body will actually attack the male sex cells .  This is why successful pregnancy takes several attempts in many cases.  Anyhoo, the male's cells are seen as a kind of virus to the female immune system, and so the white blood cells march into battle.  I know this applies to human females, but who's to say this does not occur in females of other living things?  To wrap up this bit of info, it seems as though Tria's pregnancy was a near-miss but miraculous at the same time.

Y'all ain't weird, not even Lain_EX.  It's great to know one is not alone in this manner.  "Normal" people do not exist, so the definition of a normal person is an open-ended answer.  BTW, I failed to mention my most recent crush: Taven.  He is the main character in MK: Armageddon.

CT: Great topic, y'all!

Shao Kahn:  Outstanding!

       

It really sucks to move. -_-

Yep yep yep.  Moving does suck <_<.  Growing up in a Navy family, I've had my fair share of moves.  I feel for ya, DH.  Do ya by any chance have a wireless connection?  Maybe ya can still chat with us no matter where ya are during the move .  Best of luck.

Well, I did not see a thread for Tria in here, so I'll start one .

Tria does not get much screen time, but she's definitely my fourth favorite LBT character.  I was immediately drawn to her sweet temperament and compassionate personality.  I've read in a couple of other posts regarding the Threehorn family that she does not seem to have been a good addition to LBT.  I beg to differ.  To start off, it's about time someone started getting Mr. Threehorn to tame his temper  .  It just seems as though his character has softened since Tria came into the picture (no pun intended ).  What really got me was how she and Cera finally managed to bond.  I'm certain many of y'all know what it's like living in a broken family .  While Cera most likely remembers her mother and misses her, Tria seems to have come in at a crucial time.  Tria loves Cera enough that she was willing to put herself in harm's way (the sharpteeth in LBT 11) so that Cera would be saved.  That's a sure way to earn trust .  And pretty soon, Cera and the Gang will need to hear about the birds and the bees.  I can't fathom Mr. Threehorn giving his daughter that lecture :.  Also, for Cera and Tricia to know she'll always be there for them is invaluable.  Again, since Tria is but a minor character, that's about all I know about her aside from the fact that I really like her as a addition to the LBT series.  I'll post more as I further learn her character.

This thread is like the "Music That Touches The Heart" thread.  This time, however, it is poetry y'all relate to or just find touching.  I'll start:

If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly,
and pray the Lord  your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd  see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss,
and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would  tape each word and action,
and play them back throughout my days.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I would spare an extra minute or two,
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming  you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you,
and I hope we never will forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
and today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day
that you didn't take that extra time
 for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
and you were too busy to grant
 someone, what turned out to be
 their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear, that you
love them very much, and you'll
 always hold them dear.
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you"
or "It's okay," and if tomorrow
never comes, you'll have no regrets
about today.

Aaahh, I get it!  Ya post the song you're currently listening to    .  My bad.  Yeah, I'm listening to Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.  It's fitting to the depressing story I'm writing.

*Sniffles*

Hey y'all, we've got a starday in the GOF house today !  Let's give Akida not only a warm return but also happy starday wishes.  BTW Akida, I'm Cancerian Tiger, you're friendly Christian Spiritualist and general goofball .

Here's your horoscope, fellow Pisces:
Work responsibilities will come first today and may find you working a bit of overtime this afternoon. Difficulties, blocks and all manner of hot spots may be discovered. This could mean playing a go-between for a couple of people at work that cannot see eye-to-eye. You will be smart in allowing a higher up to feel they solved the problem. Although this time can be intense at work, you will actually be able to look back on this juncture and see that there was much progress. Many people you come into contact with now, unlike the past, will be in your life for some time to come. Be wise and listen to your inner voice when it comes to spending large amounts of money. A love affair or love relationship may be able to grow more meaningful now.

But most importantly, have a happy starday!

Hey there, mcr mad (mcr rocks, btw).  Dude, I totally know what most of y'all are talking about in here.  Years back, I had a MAJOR crush on Sonic the Hedgehog.  However, I didn't like how he was attracting all the females (could'nt take the heat, I guess ).  Anyhoo, I see nothing wrong with these kinds of crushes as long as one doesn't become too possessive.  I've also had crushes on Littlefoot, Double Dee from Ed, Edd & Eddy, Aladdin, Prince Derek from The Swan Princess, and Beast in human form from Beauty and the Beast (watch out princesses, this Southern bell is comin' in ).  BTW mcr mad, Ducky is not only a cute gal but is also very pretty (that is to be taken as a compliment, not a sweet-nothing).  I don't want this to come across as disturbing by any means y'all, but I hope to find a gentleman someday who has Cera's straightforwardness, LF's compassion, Petrie's eccentricity, Spike's courage, and Ducky's love of life.  The Gang all have nice personality traits.  Hmmm.... now to work on Mr. Threehorn....  )

In all honesty, I have mixed feelings about Mr. Threehorn.  One day I see him as a father trying to do his best, the next I wanna kick him into the next galaxy :huh:.  I agree with DH on the fact that Cera was once his only daughter around and he is just protective of her.  However, his attitude towards her is too much for one to take.  He seems to not consider what her feelings are, is overbearing, and is too demanding of her.  It sucks to be a perfectionist, and I believe poor Cera is already headed in that direction :unsure:.  He also sends Cera mixed messages.  In the TV ep "The Great Logrunning Game," he tells an enlightened Cera one minute threehorns can do anything they set their minds to, but then turns around and tells her what her limitations are.  What a jerk :angry:!  I don't understand how Tria can have such feelings for him, but I guess that comes with her loving, compassionate nature.  With a kindhearted mentor like Tria around, along with little Tricia, perhaps there is hope Cera will not be entirely influenced by her father .  As far as the twins are concerned, my theory is that Mr. Threehorn has an older daughter somewhere but she most likely has estranged herself from him.  I think he is so hard as a means to shield his vulnerability, and this could be where Cera picked up on that flaw.  In a nutshell, Mr. Threehorn is, like LBTL mentioned, an SOB.  Cera will end up paying for his shortcomings emotionally and possibly mentally, his marriage to Tria may go to the trenches, and Tricia may inherit her mother's personality and wind up becoming a jerk magnet.  Heaven forbid this ever happens, and Lord help them if it does .

Happy starday Tobeysan, and many many more to come :^.^:.
