Hope everyone had a blessed solstice; I did! *points at new little WINTER egg* Surprised the hell out of me, too; I bred an Autumn with a Black and *pop* "wait, what the HELL is THAT? Ooooooooooooh!" ...and that was how I figured out it was solstice. Sad, no

I got summaries of both versions of The Day the Earth Stood Still from my father on Saturday. They sound...somewhat different. o.O;

They are, but at the same time they're very similar. I think of them as having the same relationship to each other as the movie and the comic V for Vendetta have to each other.

Of course, my father probably likes the first version of it as he seems to consistently prefer older movies over newer ones.

"They don't make 'em like they used to" eh?

Also, your philosophy with gift cards is very similar to my philosophy with money I get for Christmas and birthdays. It's given to me so I can get something for myself, not so I can spend it on others. At least, that's usually the intent behind it.

Yeah, though it took me a while (and a lot of annoyed relatives) to come to that conclusion. My first instinct is always to do for others, and myself after.

"meaner" is an odd way of putting it... I would say "less human", at least to start.

That's right, you spend your birthday monies on you!! *MASSIVE HUGGLES from me and Skeezix*

[lizamanynames]

*high fives you for using your own gifts for yourself*

[lizamanynames]

Thank you!

I spent (most) of my Xmas money on myself, too (half of it I pitched in with my husband on something he really wanted).

Merry Xmas, Sis (((((HUGS)))))

Hello ! Babies and hatchlings clicked. I want an autumn! *pouts* I just realised I'll never get a winter without breeding from one.

Ah well. I bred for the first time today, and it was well exciting even if I didn't get anything spesh and abandoned them all. I am a cruel mama!

[lizamanynames]

I will very happily breed you a winter, no problem! They're also still dropping Holiday eggs today - they look like little reindeer when they hatch! XD
