To clarify, the theme here is Winter and that picture is inspiration? Or do we actually have to work from that picture? Winter I can do in spades (I am Canadian, after all) but that picture ain't my winter.

Thanks for the set-up, Ms. T! And for the desciption of the lovely smells in your house on Sunday.
Did Thanksgiving shopping yesterday. Our house will begin smelling lovely Wednesday night, when stuffing and pies get made. Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday (Halloween is #1) - all the joys of Christmas with few of the hassles. Don't get me wrong, I like Christmas too. But it's so much WORK!
Kitty update. Here's a pic of LJ and my new KITTIES, David Foster Wallace (the black one), and Mimi Rose Howard (the tortoiseshell one). They were EXTREMELY shy and scared upon moving in (I think they had a traumatic start), and wouldn't let us touch them for a few weeks. Happily, they have mostly opened up (MRH is still pretty shy) and snuggle with us at night.
Köffee please.

Where do you even find that information?I've looked at my list and my profile, etc, and haven't found anywhere that shows how many times anything has been favorited.

You can take all the Elves in Lapland and march them up against Disney and they wouldn't last 10 minutes. They're too small, Disney is too big. The small guy loses again. It's a tale as old as time, nothing new.
Quote by Magical_felix
Yes I know. The Scandinavians are being white-washed by Disney. Their culture appropriated and disgraced. Guess Lapland isn't as easily digested by the masses as some make-believe nonsense like Arendelle.

Really? Because if you look at the cartoon Dora she appears to be about 4 years old but in the movie she looks like she’s 20 with a very full and healthy C-cup.
Quote by Ping
Finally got to watch this with my kids. Summer and vacation and school and stuff prevented us from seeing it in the theatre.
What a treat! So funny, especially if you have kids that watched Dora The Explorer and Go Diego Go.
Casting did a wonderful job, especially with the young lady (18 years old) who plays Dora. She is a real charmer. She brought awkward from the jungle to an LA high school. My kids cringed with some of the embarrassing things she did, because they could relate. I laughed at my son so much.
The corpse flower hallucination scene. OMG. So brilliant. So funny.
And then the poop in the jungle scene. Priceless!

A techgoddess who also bakes? Damn, where were you when I was young and single?![]()
(Correct answer: As far away from me as possible.)
Apparently my little bro's genealogical work has turned up a distant connection to the late Rene Levesque, who found the Quebec separatist party and was premier of that province for a healthy chunk of my misspent youth, including their first independence referendum. So now I'm contemplating separating from the rest of Canada. Can one house with two people declare itself a country??
Afternoon vino, please. A chilled chardonnay will do nicely.

I like the idea of encouraging newer writers in some way but not through a Comp. Many of the talented writers here work hard at their craft and a competition should be just that. Life is a challenge, writing should be too.
Mods should not be barred, see above.
I like the idea of winners stepping aside for the next Comp. I think a lot already do this anyway.
I'm still waiting for the Canada themed Comp. What would fit better for Xmas? We do own the North Pole.
Quote by TonyaL
I think I found what I want for Christmas. If anyone would like to buy this for me I'd really love it. I think I'll leave everyone except my littley and hide away. Lol. This is far enough away from everyone to be left alone although if it was in another state I'd be even happier.
