That's a very nice picture, Smiley. Merry Christmas and a peaceful year to you too

Thanks, Dodge. As always, your pictures are very interesting.

It sounds good except for the mushrooms, yech! lol

Thanks for posting Stormy. I hope we'd all make the same decision. When I coached softball, we'd see this same sort of thing at least once a year. It was often initiated by the players themselves.

LOL, funny

LOL that's good

If we want to talk about legal and ethical opinions, maybe we should list a few of them for our readers to focus on. We would not necessarily all search for the same legal / ethical issues, nor would we all come up with the same list of authors. How do you all envision the chat working? Also, I keep thinking how hard it is for Smiley to get anyone to do a summary of the story. I am worried that Smiley will be met with silence when he gets us started lol.

Little Billy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA, they decided to send it to President Bush. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send Billy a $5.00 bill. President Bush thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. Billy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to God, which read: Dear God, Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those crooks deducted $95.00. Thanks, Billy

LOL, that's good

I wonder if we we might get a bigger response if we list some of the pros and cons. Then, each reader could choose one or two to look into. or For me, I don't know what the pros and cons are. You mentioned that you found various legal and ethical opinions about the use of ghost writers, pen names, and similar issues. Perhaps you could give us a url to some article (or two or three depending on length). Then we could read those articles and discuss them. I am worried that if we make it seem like homework, we'll get a very small response.

LOL

LOL I've heard both jokes before, but they are still funny every time I hear them

lol, yea, it's pretty funny

LOL i was not expecting that.

LOL, that's pretty good.

I am sorry for his loss too, Henry

LOL!

A friend of mine recently took a fishing trip to the "dream stream" between Spinney and Eleven Mile Reservoir near Colorado Springs. I was away in NC when they went, and boy am I jealous lol. Their biggest brown trout was about 8 pounds. I am posting two pictures he sent me. One is the big brown trout. The other fish is a Kokanee salmon. They run with the browns and spawn the same time of the year. Really prehistoric looking, aren't they? The brown trout is the one in the picture with two guys.

LOL that's good.

lol, I think that in Texas, that's a normal Halloween activity

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD TIMER!

This is casper the mostly black cat and his spider who needs a name. I can only think of Charlotte. These two creatures met each trick or treater at the door. Almost all the young boys said "oh cool, is he yours, is he real?" Help me name the spider please

Happy Birthday, grip!

lol that is really funny

Congratulations to all women who have battled and beaten cancer. It's a horrible disease.
