Yeah... it got really cold in the winter.  (Done)

Well, if she wasn't the GHP, then who would be?  We'd have to vote or
something...  or have a mad power grab (either of which would make good
stories)

Subject: Flash Puzzles

I haven't gotten around to putting anything on my site yet, but I did
find some software that makes Flash Puzzles.  Here is the link,

http://www.foreverknight.org/puzzles.html

And you do need Macromedia Flash to play them.

Also, they are playable at a resolution of 800x600 but they are easier
to see at 1024x768

You know you've been reading too many FK war posts when...

you visit the website of a friend's place of work (an English vineyard/
winemakers and restauranteurs) and have hysterics at one of the pictures -
it's of one of their llamas.  Yes, for some strange reason they also run a
llama farm.  Visions of an utterly and totally drunk cotton-wool and Speedo
clad psuedo-llama spring to mind...

(for the curious, the website is:  www.barnsgate.co.uk

Go to the pictures, use the right arrow to go to the last page of pictures,
and you should find one very handsome, elegant, looking-down-its-nose-at-you
snooty llama!)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't German chocolate usually used
in baking? Come on, give them the good stuff!

Nope.  You're thinking of baker's chocolate.  Baker's
chocolate is bitter, nasty stuff that replaces coco in
some recipies.  German chocolate is delicious.
