TTF family?

[spirit]

In one on the other forums which I visit, the members have created a family (i.e- addopting other members and marring other membersand having cousins) and it would be really interesting to see how that would work here at TTF. :D

Is anyone out there willing to try this (experiment, I guess you could call it ;) )

(Of corse, this is only on the Forum, and not actually in real life, so don't take it very seriously) :p

[HLGStrider]

I think it would get messed up real quick and it would be best to leave well enough alone.

[Narya]

Yes, I actually have an entire household and lately has become extended.

I am Narya Brandybuck, owner of The Weeping Willow Pub, my husband who is alas in Rivendel, taking a vacation, is Vilya Brandybuck and my daughter studying elvish in the white city is Nenya Brandybuck. Then there's my brother-in-law Merry Brandybuck (portrayed by Merry, fine chap!).

Really funny if you think about it.

[Saucy]

i had a ttf brother once, he is gone....had a fiance, he's gone too,

heck! why am i even here! :rolleyes:

[spirit]

Personally, I think it's worth giving it a shot.

If anyone would like to have any relations with other members, and decide within youselves and then post up in this thread what your relationship is.
(All kinds of realtionships are allowed, just as long as you're not offending anyone...::angelic smile::...)

If you're new around here and don't know many people here, just post here and we'll find some familly for you! :)

[Saucy]

*sits on corner of loneliness and seclusion* i dont want a family *pouts* :(

[Mirendabeth]

hehe, sounds like it could be a fun idea, but I can see how things could go wrong! But even so, sounds like fun! :)

[EáSurion]

hehe, sounds like it could be a fun idea, but I can see how things could go wrong! But even so, sounds like fun! :)But...aren't you my long lost sister?
(I thought to give it a shot:) Its a good idea, you know..and if anything goes wrong, we can always stop it...it is afterall a game;))

[Astaldo]

Yes my son this is your long lost sister :)

[EáSurion]

Yes my son this is your long lost sister :)(Sorry..But I am a girl:p )
YAY..I knew it..and you must be my....?

[Astaldo]

I guess I'm your father thought to be lost after the War of the Ring but I was to the West and now I've returned to see my family again :D

[Nóm]

*sits on corner of loneliness and seclusion* i dont want a family *pouts* :(
Tough! I'm your grandmother, like it or not. Now eat these cookies and this fudge!

[spirit]

Glad to see the *familly* is getting along!
:)

Mirendabeth & EáSurion ==> Long lost sisters.
Astaldo is the farther of Mirendabeth & EáSurion.
Nóm is Saucy's grandmother.

Correct me if I'm wrong... ;)

::wonders how she's going to be related to anyone...:: :p

[Saucy]

you can be the goldfish....

j/k

um, i dunno. :confused:

[King Aragorn]

What about me?

[EáSurion]

What about me?If I am not mistaken, you're the Cousin from mothers side? :)
Father..I am happy to see you too:D How have you been?
This day will always be remembered as the day of the family reunion day;)

[King Aragorn]

Hi Family!

[Astaldo]

Now that I found my family again I am glad my child. It's like when we won the War of the Ring but even more better. Trully will be a day to remember.

Welcome Elessar to our little Family

[spirit]

Mirendabeth & EáSurion ==> Long lost sisters.
Astaldo is the farther of Mirendabeth & EáSurion.
King Aragorn is the cousin from EáSurion's mother's side.
Nóm is Saucy's grandmother.

[EáSurion]

Spirit...Aren't you somehow related to me too? I think you're !!!

[spirit]

I remember you, You're my...

[EáSurion]

You must be my little sister (Agreed?;))

This forum is one big family:p

[Astaldo]

Welcome to our family Spirit. Now I have to find a mother for all of you. Any volunteers?

[spirit]

::hugs familly::


Dad, Moms on holiday! :mad: Leaving us all behind...how dare she...
Don't worry tho, we can look after ourselves!...or not!

::shoults:: Mom, I can't do this? HELP!!!

:D

[Astaldo]

Spirit where are you? I've lost your mother I can't stand loosing you too :(

[Firawyn]

I wanna a family!! I am not old enough to be you'all's mum but I could be a great aunt!!! Lol!! :D Place me somewhere oh master of the family tree!!! :D

[Astaldo]

Aren't you my little sister? ;)

[e.Blackstar]

ooo! Who can I be?



:D

[Firawyn]

Aren't you my little sister? ;)

Yes! Of course! How could I not see the resemblince?? :D

[King Aragorn]

LOL!!! Hi Family! Hi from Seattle Pacific University!

[Astaldo]

So to sum up:


Sabeen is my young sister
EaSurion, Mirendabeth and Spirit are my kids
King Aragorn is my niece (daugter of my wife's sister)

And to connect Nóm and Saucy I though this:
Saucy to be Sabben's kid and Nóm mine's and Sabben's mother. :)

Ooohh the family is getting bigger :) :) :)

[e.Blackstar]

what about meeeee? :(

[EáSurion]

what about meeeee? :(
Cousin? is that you?...;)

[spirit]

*comes running into the arms of Astaldo*
Father, sorry I've been away soo long without telling you. *hugs*
:D


(Okay, it's getting emitional now)
*hands around some tissues*
:D

[King Aragorn]

*comes into the picture*

Uncle! It's been to long!

*this is fun!*

[Astaldo]

My family is back great. Maybe we should arrange to have a dinner all the family one of these days. :D

[spirit]

What a great idea, are any of the cousins going to be joining us?

[Astaldo]

Everyone can come. It will be a great family meeting. :D

[Forgotten Path]

*a funny looking man wonders over, lauging loudly*

Astaldo, my brother!! I haven't seen you since I went into the east with Pallando and Alatar! It's good to see you all again!

*Pulls out a bottle of wine and and some mugs from his immense cloak and starts pouring some for everyone, still laughing*

**approval?**

**this is a crazy idea, but fun!**

[Astaldo]

Welcome my brother.

*takes the cup of wine and starts drinking.*


**The family is getting bigger. Great Great**

Can someone make a family tree please?

[spirit]

(I was working on that, but I kinda stopped when I'd gone missing!)
(Shall start when I've got time!! ) :p

[Astaldo]

Good my child. :)

[Forgotten Path]

Here is my attempt at a family tree. Had to do it on Word, that was a pain. Please tell me if any thing needs to be changed, and please excuse any mistakes involving sexes.

[Astaldo]

Great work bro. Can you also add Saucy? Sabeen's child. (I think daughter)

[Forgotten Path]

Yes, I realized when I got home that I had left out Saucy. Sorry, Saucy!!!! :D You were on my paper version, I promise! Here is the revised tree:

[Firawyn]

Sausy's my daughter?? Wow that's news to me! Oh coolness!

Sausy! Clean your room! Wash the dishes! Do the laundry! Stack the firewood! Wax the car! And when you're done with that, you may go out with yout friend. :D

[Astaldo]

Oh yes my dear sister. Saucy is your daughter. :)

[Firawyn]

Of course, brother. She always speaks of her dear uncle Astaldo! Astaldo this! Astaldo that! When can we go see uncle Astaldo?

Now I was wondering. What is your avitar? I mean who is that old man? Surly it cannot be you! :D

[Gandalf White]

What is your avitar? I mean who is that old man? Surly it cannot be you! :D

This question leads me to disbelieve your title of "Tolkienologist." :p

[Firawyn]

Now that I look at it, it is the great master himself. Now if I'm his sister...well wouldn't we all love that!

Now GW. The reason I didn't catch it is (1) it looked like a pope at first glance and (2) I have been into Tolkien's works less than three years, and only in the last few months have I begun to study the master himself. His writings were what I studied before hand.

I call my self a Tolkienologist in compareson to my many friends who no nothing more than "The Lord of the Rings is about elves and stuff right?" Please. Spare me! I however do understand that there are many more knowlageable that I in that area.

On the other hand, anyone who challanges my knowlage of Jack Lewis will not be disapointed.

[Forgotten Path]

Check it out!! Found time to do one in paint! Looks a lot better, does it not?

So far we need:
1. Astaldo's wife
2. Astaldo's father in law
3. Astaldo's mother in law
4. King Aragorn's mother (Astaldo's sisiter in law)

It would be nice to have:
1. King Aragorn's father
2. King Aragorn's grandparents

That side of the family is a little empty. We could always fill the spots with fictional characters, but it would be so much cooler to have them filled by real people. We will have to attract more members! Any ideas?

And do you think the crazy old uncle (that's me!) should have a wife, girlfreind, or something, seeing as how I'm the only 2nd generation member who is not married?

Just had a problem. The file was too big. I had to shrink the bitmap. Right click it to save it to your computer. Then open it, go to [Image], then [Stretch/Skew], and set the Horizontal and Vertical to 200%. Its a little blurry, but it works.

[Astaldo]

Great work FP. Great work. Congrat. :D

Does anybody else wants to join our little family to make it bigger? Everyone is welcome. :)

[Forgotten Path]

Thank you, brother! I would love to make one by hand and scan it, but I don't have a scanner. Oh well. :rolleyes: I would also like to make one with actual pictures of all of us. I will check the pictures thread to see how many of us I can find. If any one wants to, they can e-mail me their picture, and I will see what I can do. Meanwhile, we must find a way to recruit more family members! :D I've put an invitation in my signiture, of course, but I don't know how much good that will do. Maybe we can e-mail/PM our friends on the forum and invite them to join. We can also invite some new members. I'd like to see how many members we get until the family descends into absolute chaos! :D

Oh, my e-mail is WassumR@lrc.edu

[Astaldo]

Unfortunately I have no scanner and any photo of myself. But I will try to do something. I will PM some friends to become members of the family bro. I will also ad it on my sig as you did.

[Elemmire]

Oh, I'd join...

Only problem is I'm completely lost and know a total of... maybe four or five people... :o

[Astaldo]

Don't worry you will know and the other members of the family :) Now who would you like to be? Check the missing persons that we hav and choose one. Or make a new one.

[Forgotten Path]

Oh, I'd join...

Only problem is I'm completely lost and know a total of... maybe four or five people... :o


Don't worry about it! :p We're just one big happy family!! We want you to feel welcome! You can pretty much pick what position you want to be in. Have you taken a look at the family tree? There's all sorts of spaces for you! Oh, I apoligize for the blurriness. And what better way to get to know people? PLEASE JOIN!! :D We would all love to have you!

Astaldo: your signiture looks great, bro. Nice and big! I will make my larger! And I think I will check the new members threads for people who want to join.

[Astaldo]

Thanks brother. I have PMed some friends and I am waiting their answers. And I will also try to persuade some "newbies" to join the family.

[Forgotten Path]

Great! I've already PMd most of them. If you decide to, start from the top and go down about five members. I think I got all the rest. I also invited YayGollum and Sticky as well. :) We should invite the WebMaster as the grand daddy of us all! :D

[Astaldo]

Ok I will invite him to be the head of our family. :D

[Sammyboy]

Hi Astaldo - ta for the pm'ed invite!

What the hell - count me in too! :p Not sure where I could fit in - perhaps be the baby of the family - as I've only just joined, and know comparatively little at the moment about Tolkien!

Right, you'll have to exuse me, I'm just about to explore the 'extras' discs that came with the EE of FotR! :)

[Astaldo]

You are welcome Sammyboy. What about being Saucy's brother?

[Sammyboy]

Sure, OK, I'll go for that!! :D

[Elemmire]

Thanks for the PM, Forggoten Path. :)

Don't worry you will know and the other members of the family :) Now who would you like to be? Check the missing persons that we hav and choose one. Or make a new one.I guess I'll be your wife, if the spot is still open. ;) :D

[Mrs. Maggott]

Ooookay.... I'm not exactly sure what all of this means. I have never participated in games or other "role-playing" themes, but if people just want to perhaps get to know each other a little better, how can it hurt? I am sure that in the great anonymity that is "cyberspace" there are people who are lonely and appreciate a kind personal word rather than a response to some post regarding the books or the films etc. I'm a little old for "romance" and in that I'm Mrs. Maggott, that would hardly be appropriate anyway. However, the Maggotts are a large family and I would certainly be willing to be a "godmother" or "godgrandmother" to anyone on the forum who wants a shoulder to cry on or applause for an accomplishment. So, I guess, you can "count me in" to your Family! ;)

[Firawyn]

Welcome Mrs. Maggott!! Good to see you in the same thread as I am for a change. :)

Hey I think my kids (Sausy and Tommyboy) could use a grandmother. What about that for the Mrs.??

[Mrs. Maggott]

Well, certainly Saucy (?) sounds as if she could use some love! She sounds a tad depressed although it may just be a hard day for her.

As I said, I'm really not too sure what's to be done on threads like these, so I will follow your lead! :p

[spirit]

Yes, I realized when I got home that I had left out Saucy. Sorry, Saucy!!!! :D You were on my paper version, I promise! Here is the revised tree:


Oh my GOD!! It's just excellent!!!!! *hugs!!* :p

[Forgotten Path]

The family just keeps getting bigger and bigger! :D :D Excellent! Thank all of you for joining! Looks like I've got some revising to do on the family tree!

Me and brother (Astaldo, of course!) are planning to invite WebMaster as the head of our family, our great grandfather or something!

And remember, anyone who has not recieved an invitation, the Tolkien Forum Family is NOT invitation only! So come on!

Now, to work on that tree! :D

[Forgotten Path]

Okay, here it is....same deal as with the old one. Just save it, blah blah blah.

Mrs. Maggot, Saucy and SammyBoy already have a grandmother, so I made you Sabeen's Godmother, making you Saucy's and SammyBoy's 'Great Godmother.' I hope that is alright?

I will try to email all the family members a copy of the full sized tree. If I miss you or you are new and want one, just tell me. *Edit: never mind. I didn't realize that you couldn't attach stuff. :mad: If you want it, e-mail me you e-mail address. Sorry.*

[Astaldo]

Hello guys. Thanks for your participation. And I have some great news. Webmaster accepted to be the honoured member of our family. He will be the head of the family. I think Maikanare's father or something.

[Mrs. Maggott]

Okay, here it is....same deal as with the old one. Just save it, blah blah blah.

Mrs. Maggot, Saucy and SammyBoy already have a grandmother, so I made you Sabeen's Godmother, making you Saucy's and SammyBoy's 'Great Godmother.' I hope that is alright?

Since I have no idea how this all works, I am happy to fulfill whatever "position" you have in mind. However, you will have to let me know what it is that I have to do...

[Astaldo]

There is nothing that you have to do Mrs. Maggot. We are just making a family with members of TTF to know better each other and because it is funny. You could come some times to post here etc. :)

[ely]

Why not? :D It can be fun! :p

You needed a wife, Forggoten Path? Here I am!!! :)

[Astaldo]

Welcome ely :)

[Sammyboy]

This is turning into quite a 'family' gathering :D

Certainly an interesting way to get to know other people on this forum too! I think we'll need an updated family tree once all the positions are filled, so I can remember whose related to who :p

[e.Blackstar]

I'm sorry, haven't been here a while. What was happening? Who am I?

[Sayna]

Ohh I would like to be adopted me-thinks. Ah it is so strange to be the newbie and not the growling tigeress which I usially am who attacks newbies. Ahh such is life lol. Well anyone want to adopt a Welsh girl. Sorry cant marry anyone. My beloved is all I want on or offline :)

[Astaldo]

I have already three kids, but if there is no problem with my wife :) I wouldn't mind having one more.

[Sayna]

I have a dad on another board :p
But I am sure an uncle will do fine and a few cousins and an aunty:D

[Firawyn]

Wow this is growing!!

:DI was wondering...do my kids have a dad??? Who is the mysery man for me?

[Erestor Arcamen]

I wanna join the family, someone adopt me please?

[Erestor Arcamen]

Read the poem at the end of my thing, it's a prophecy of Aragorn!

[e.Blackstar]

Indeed 'tis.

[Astaldo]

Hey Erestor Arcamen. Welcome to our family. Do you want to be anyone's specifically child?

Btw why you wrote about the prophecy thing?

[Lonna]

Well, King Aragorn (who is NOT a guy) could be my half Cousin (there's Elvish blood in those veins . . . )

Saucy could be my other half Cousin.

How about that??


******************

Mirendabeth & EáSurion ==> Long lost sisters.
Astaldo is the farther of Mirendabeth & EáSurion.
Nóm is Saucy's grandmother.

Lonna, King Aragorn, and Saucy--Half Cousins

[Astaldo]

Welvome to the family Lonna. No there is absolutely no problem. :)

[Forgotten Path]

Welcome everyone!!! :D I'mm going to be up to my eyeballs in paper trying to sort this mess out! :) lol. I think the time has come to start a completly new family tree, I don't think I have room on the other, especially if WebMaster needs to be put up top. I will also have to change the generations now. I hope we don't end up having to block positions because of no room on the tree! That would be horrible.
Who thinks this thread should be a mix of mild roll play and a bit of other things, like a discussion thread? If we could pull it off, that woul be very, very interesting.
Astaldo, have you checked with WebMaster about gettign the thread moved to the guilds or inns or something? Just wondering.
ely, I haven't really decided if I want a wife yet. After all, that would make me like everyone else, and I am supposed to be the crazy (cer-raaa-zy :D ) uncle. (Not to mention it would save me some trouble on the tree. :rolleyes: *Lazy side kicking in...*) But a daughter I adopted in my travels in the East would be cool :cool: , and out of the ordinary. Does that sound good? You can be cer-raa-zy too.
Mrs. Maggot, Astaldo is right. There is really nothing to do at the moment. Lets all just relax and make small talk, and enjoy the snow. :) (I didn't know snow was in the forcast! :) )
Whoo, this is a long post. Oh, well. I had a lot to say after my weekend. I hope all you family had good weekends as well. I will get started on that revised tree today.

[Forgotten Path]

Astaldo, my brother. You may or may not have seen WebMaster's thread about slimming down the signitures here at the forum. We should both do Granddad a favor and slim ours down a little. Yours is fine, but for the large type.

[Sammyboy]

@forgotten path - best of luck with that 'family tree', I bet it's gotten rather complicated! I look forward to seeing exactly who I'm related to :p :D

[Forgotten Path]

You are right, nephew. This will be difficult. To make it easier, could I get everyone to confirm their positions? :)
I'd also like to make some suggestions:

to Sayna-I could adopt you, you could call me uncle and that would solve your problem, will it not?

to Treyar-not sure. KingAragorn needs a mother;

to Erestor-Sabeen needs a husband. KingAragorn needs a father, and so does Elemmire, as well as Astaldo, Sabeen, and I;

of course, you're all welcome to choose different positions. :)

And Lonna, what exactly is a half-cousin? How does that work and how would I put that in a family tree?

[Erestor Arcamen]

I'm new, will someone adopt me? AIM = McCoyer2005 I'm 17/m/pa

[Firawyn]

Forgotten Path, do me a favor and consult with me before you marry me off....you're not my father you know. :D ;)

[e.Blackstar]

I suppose I could be KingAragorn's mother. What think you, KA?

And does that mean that I have a husband somewhere? Who is her father?

[Lonna]

Astaldo, Thanks for the welcome.

Sammyboy, you could be my (adopted?) son (elves never look old).

[Lonna]

You could just make it a full cousin, but I'm elvish, and I think my nieces are not full-blooded elves (just put it in the tree as cousins).

[Astaldo]

Wow the family is fetting bigger and bigger every day. You're welcome Lonna. Brother I will PM you for everything you asked, at the evening. And I would like ti thank everyone for being here. :)

[ely]

I'd rather be someone's aunt. Or mother-in-law. *devilish grin*

[Forgotten Path]

Treyar; if you could be KingAragorn's mother (=Elemmire's sister), that would be excellent. We need alot of people on that side of the tree.

ely; hide that devilish grin and you can be Treyar's mother in law (=KA's grandmother) (if Treyar decides to be KA's mother).

Lonna; SammyBoy is already Sabeen's son and Sausy's brother. You could be Elemmire's mother, giving that side of the family elvish blood (when the role play begins, if it does; blood doesn't really matter at this moment).

Sabeen, dear sis; I wasn't trying to marry you off :) . Just a brother trying to act in the family's best interest :D !

Erestor, and to any one coming in; actual age, time spent at the forum, etc. have no meaning in the 'family'. You can be some one's grandfather or husband, it doesn't matter. Though if you still want to be adopted, I guess I can adopt you if Sayna doesn't want me to adopt her.

One last thing: I would like to post the tree again and re-give instructions for viewing it. Just right click the link and save it to your computer. Then open it (from your computer, not the forum) and go to Image, then Strech/Skew, and change the horizontal and vertical to 200%. It comes out a little blurry, but you can read it. And, if you want a large copy of it, just e-mail me a request at WassumR@lrc.edu. This tree is not updated fully.

P.S.
The dashed line means the relationship is godparent/godchild. And, does anyone notice how much fun the word skew is? Skew. Skeeew. It's just really fun to say! :D

Forgive me if I don't do in-laws or grandchildren! :rolleyes: Forgive me if I was repetitive. repetitive. repetitive. :D When everyone in the process of joining confirms their family position, I will edit this post and update it. :)

[reem]

:confused: :) This looks interesting:)
Sabeen said I should try to join as her sister, but I think I'd be of more use if I filled one of the gaps instead:p
I wouldn't mind attaching myself as Elemmire's or KingAragorn's mother or sister, if either will have me:)

[Erestor Arcamen]

Hey it don matter to me who I'm adopted by, and I understand the thing about how it dont matter how long you've been here and actual age, thats cool. So, someone adopt me.

[Forgotten Path]

Oh Oh! We have three female positions that need to be filled and five females joining. We can work this out easily, I'm sure. If Sayna agrees to be my adopted daughter(/niece), then one down. ely could be KingAragorn's grandmother (on her father's side), making her a mother in law to whoever ends up as KingAragorn's mother (two down). This is where the real problem arises. Treyar and reem both expressed interest in being KingAragorn's mother (I think-).:eek: You two could work this out among yourselves, and reem, there is no problem with being Sabeen's, Astlado's, and I's sister. When you two work that out, four down. And Lonna could be Elemmire's mother, if she wants to; five down, problem solved. :D Erestor, you pretty much have your pick of Sabeen's husband (if Sabeen doesn't mind :p ); Elemmire's father; KingAragorn's father; or KingAragorn's grandfather (on father's side); or even fill a position not written on the tree: KingAragorn wouldn't mind a brother, I think. :D

[Erestor Arcamen]

:D Erestor, you pretty much have your pick of Sabeen's husband (if Sabeen doesn't mind :p That's fine with me if it's fine with Sabeen

[Forgotten Path]

Cool. :cool: You'll have to ask Sabeen, but I don't think she'll mind. You can try PMing her, you might get a quicker answer.

[Erestor Arcamen]

k kool I'll PM her

[Forgotten Path]

I think I will add the entire family to my buddy list. Whoa! :D Crazy idea!

[Forgotten Path]

I was working my way back through the thread, adding everyone to my buddy list (took a while), when I noticed that EaSurion had said to Treyar aomething about being her cousin. Which would make you, Treyar, Sabeen's daughter or KingAragorn's sister....so, do you like that idea, or what?
Saucy, we miss you! :)

[Firawyn]

oh dear...this is getting to be a bit like my "real" family. I mean, I have an aunt that's younger than me by over a year and my mother is her sister cause their father was, what you call, ADD. He couldn't stay in one place very long. :rolleyes: he's dead.

[reem]

Treyar and reem both expressed interest in being KingAragorn's mother (I think-).:eek:
Well, seeing how there isn't a shortage of females to fill the existing gaps anymore, I think I'll let Treyar have the post *repectful bow*.

and reem, there is no problem with being Sabeen's, Astlado's, and I's sister.
:D You will find that I make a very good sister:p

[ely]

Sits down to rocking-chair, pulls out her half-ready scarf, puts on her knitting music ("Reflections") and continues the work, happily sighing:
"That's the life!"

[Forgotten Path]

reem, I seem to remember in the email notification I recieved of your post that you asked which of us siblings was the oldest. I don't see it in your post, so I guess you edited it out (or I'm crazy :D ). Here is my answer:

Iv'e been toying with the idea of writing a history for TTF Family for a while now. I always envisioned Astaldo as the eldest (he just seems mature, and he has many children) and me as the youngest, with Sabeen in the middle. You could just slip in somewhere, but I think we can make it more interesting than that. How about you and I being twin sister/brother? I could PM you some more of my ideas for TTFF if you'd like. I don't want to post them it might make all of this (*spreads arms out really wide*) even more confusing, and I may never actually complete it.

ely, keep working on that scarf, your'e going to need it with all this snow. ;)
I guess that means KingAragorn has a grandmother on her father's side?

Sabeen, did you ever talk to Erestor about being your husband? He was going to PM you.

Everyone, I will get to work on putting reem and ely in the family tree. Have a good weekend. :D

[reem]

reem, I seem to remember in the email notification I recieved of your post that you asked which of us siblings was the oldest. I don't see it in your post, so I guess you edited it out (or I'm crazy :D ).
Lol:p Yah, I edited it out because I didn’t want to scare you guys into thinking that I was going to start bossing you around or anything:) (which I will probably end up doing if given the chance;)).

Here is my answer:

Iv'e been toying with the idea of writing a history for TTF Family for a while now. I always envisioned Astaldo as the eldest (he just seems mature, and he has many children) and me as the youngest, with Sabeen in the middle. You could just slip in somewhere, but I think we can make it more interesting than that. How about you and I being twin sister/brother? I could PM you some more of my ideas for TTFF if you'd like. I don't want to post them it might make all of this (*spreads arms out really wide*) even more confusing, and I may never actually complete it.
Well, I've always been the second of four in my family, so I think I can manage that role easily enough:) But I wouldn't mind trying my hand at something new:D It would be interesting having a twin:p I think I should stick to 'female', though, if you don't mind; people keep comfusing my true gender enough as it is :rolleyes:

Send me a PM and we'll talk shop;) I'd be more than glad to give you a hand in creating and planning things:)

[lossenandunewen]

Can i be the short one?? :D

[e.Blackstar]

I was working my way back through the thread, adding everyone to my buddy list (took a while), when I noticed that EaSurion had said to Treyar aomething about being her cousin. Which would make you, Treyar, Sabeen's daughter or KingAragorn's sister....so, do you like that idea, or what?
Saucy, we miss you! :)


Sweetness. Sounds cool.

[Firawyn]

I's like to anounce that Erestor and I eloped. He PMed me and asked me if I wanted to get married and I accepted.

I think that at least Sausy is mine from a preivious marrage. (just to confuse Forgotten Path even more!!j/k.) But yeah, Sausy's to weird to be Erestor's daughter.

But I'm so mad at my ex that he's not on the family tree! :mad:

[reem]

*Stamps foot in consternation*
Sabs! :mad: How could you?!
*Purses lips* You'll just have to have a formal wedding. I can't believe you didn't even tell me about this! Your own sister!! What will our friends say when they find out that you've gotten yourself hitched and didn't even bother to invite them? Heck, what will our parents say when they find out. * Shakes head and moves towards desk* We'll have to make the best of it, I suppose. *Pulls out notepad and starts scribbling*

[Forgotten Path]

[Forgotten Path]

Now, to business. :)

reem, of course sister. I should I written sister and brother , not sister/borther. Sorry!

dredlord and lossenandunewen, just look for open positions on the family tree (which is attached to one of my posts, somewhere) or in the new relationships post, which reem updated for me (thank you reem!). Then we will work you in!

Treyar, reem went ahead and updated you as KA's mother. Would you rather be her sis? If so, it won't be any problem to change, I haven't done the tree yet.

Now, the fun stuff! :D

*Forgotten Path wonders over to reem and Sabeen*
"Hey! Congratulations Sabeen!"
*starts laughing and dances around*
"Where is this guy at? I've got to welcome him to our crazy family!"
*turns to reem and looks at her paper*
"What cha doin' there reem? Writing invites to the wedding?"

[Sammyboy]

Aha! It's all stating to take shape nicely now, just need a couple more folk and we're sorted.

I'm looking forward to getting to know my 'family'! :D

[Firawyn]

Guys!! We eloped so we didn't HAVE to have a big wedding. Nothing personal. Where is my man anyway??

Sausy come meet your step dad.


Hey Forgotten Path...how about Sammyboy is Erestor's from a preivious marrage and Sausy is mine from my prievious marrage so Sammyboy is my stepson ans Sausy is Erestor's step daugher...hope this doesn't confuse you too much! lol :D

*walks over to reem and snaches note book* NO BIG WEDDING!!!! *tosses notbook in fireplace* :D ;)

[reem]

*Gasps*
"Well I never! I had some pretty good ideas on there! And I don't see why you two had to elope in the first place," *pout* "we could have had a really nice wedding for you right here. Isn't it enough that I couldn't make it to your first one, now I also have to miss your second?"
*turns to Forgotten Path*
"What do you have to say about this?" *Hands on hips* "Do we even really know the guy? Where is he, anyway?"
*Casts an eye around the room*

[Firawyn]

Reem how dare you speak of my man in such a way! You missed my first wedding because you were to busy hanging out with your collage friends!!

I though my first wedding sucked so we agreed to simply skip it this time. Where is that boy??

If you must blame some one, blame your brother Astlado. He fixed us up in the first place!!! ;)

[reem]

(Lol! This could turn into a pretty good soap opera! Hehe:p)

*Flushed face*
:o"I missed your first wedding because I had a severe case of diarrhea, ok?"
*Mellows tone* "But you're right,I shouldn't have spoken of your man so scathingly. I'm sure he's a wonderful person if Astaldo introduced you. But still, would a small family wedding have hurt? We could still have an informal ceremony. Something simple. You owe your kids and family that much, don't you?" *hopeful pause*

[Erestor Arcamen]

Hey Sabeen sorry I havent been on, I was havin some trouble with the computer/internet. Anyways thanks everyone for the congrats, I'm sure this wont be some soap opera and everything will work out fine in this big family.

[Erestor Arcamen]

jw Do i have any siblings here? I didn see any so im guessin no unless someone else joins and thats fine and dandy with me.

[Firawyn]

Reem that was way to much information!!! *wrinkles nose* ;)

A little wedding?...a really really really little wedding? I don't know.

What do you think Erestor? I have a feeling that reem wont let me live this out...*frown*

[Erestor Arcamen]

well if Reem really wants one and if it's fine with you of course Sabeen, then it's totally fine with me. Either way I'm ok with it so you decide and I'll agree.

[Erestor Arcamen]

I'm not trying to intend that I dont care, because believe me I do but I dont wanna push something on you that you dont want Sabeen.

[Firawyn]

I love my man! It's okay with me. Reem and I can plan it (no more than 50 guests) and then we can either have it here or start another thread for it.

Satisfied reem?? ;)

[Erestor Arcamen]

that sounds good to me Sabeen, if you need any help with planning, feel free to ask me for help and I'll be happy too.

[reem]

*Claps Erestor on the back* I was just pulling you chain, buddy:) Welcome to the family. You'll make a great brother-in-law;)

As to the wedding! *does a little jig* Woohoo!
It can take the form of a little roleplay or something:) That would be fun:D

[Erestor Arcamen]

Thanks Reem, I hope that I can be a good brother in law and husband. So anyways like i said if you need help with anythin i'd be happy to help.

[reem]

Lol:p Just show up and don't forget the ring;)

[Ol'gaffer]

[Firawyn]

[Erestor Arcamen]

haha good idea, but seriously, how do you wanna do the ring thing?

[Firawyn]

umm...I'll send you somthing cool..

[Erestor Arcamen]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

[reem]

Heh:p Living all of eternity together as wraiths, now there's a new way of extending marital misery!
Merry Christmas, dearest family of mine:) Go easy on the eggnog;)

[Sammyboy]

Merry Christmas all! :D

And what exactly is eggnog? I've often heard of it but still don't know exactly what it is! :p

[Erestor Arcamen]

Thats from this site: http://www.indepthinfo.com/eggnog/history.shtml





Many believe that eggnog is a tradition that was brought to America from Europe. This is partially true. Eggnog is related to various milk and wine punches that had been concocted long ago in the "Old World". However, in America a new twist was put on the theme. Rum was used in the place of wine. In Colonial America, rum was commonly called "grog", so the name eggnog is likely derived from the very descriptive term for this drink, "egg-and-grog", which corrupted to egg'n'grog and soon to eggnog. At least this is one version...

Other experts would have it that the "nog" of eggnog comes from the word "noggin". A noggin was a small, wooden, carved mug. It was used to serve drinks at table in taverns (while drinks beside the fire were served in tankards). It is thought that eggnog started out as a mixture of Spanish "Sherry" and milk. The English called this concoction "Dry sack posset". It is very easy to see how an egg drink in a noggin could become eggnog.

The true story might be a mixture of the two and eggnog was originally called "egg and grog in a noggin". This was a term that required shortening if ever there was one.

With it's European roots and the availability of the ingredients, eggnog soon became a popular wintertime drink throughout Colonial America. It had much to recomend it; it was rich, spicy, and alcoholic.

In the 1820's Pierce Egan, a period author, wrote a book called "Life of London: or Days and Nights of Jerry Hawthorne and His Elegant Friend Corinthina Tom". To publicize his work Mr. Egan made up a variation of eggnog he called "Tom and Jerry". It added 1/2 oz of brandy to the basic recipe (fortifying it considerably and adding further to its popularity).

Eggnog, in the 1800s was nearly always made in large quantities and nearly always used as a social drink. It was commonly served at holiday parties and it was noted by an English visitor in 1866, "Christmas is not properly observed unless you brew egg nogg for all comers; everybody calls on everybody else; and each call is celebrated by a solemn egg-nogging...It is made cold and is drunk cold and is to be commended."

Of course, Christmas was not the only day upon which eggnog was popular. In Baltimore it was a tradition for young men to call upon all of their friends on New years day. At each of many homes the strapping fellows were offered a cup of eggnog, and so as they went they became more and more inebriated. It was quite a feat to actually finish one's rounds.

Our first President, George Washington, was quite a fan of eggnog and devised his own recipe that included rye whiskey, rum and sherry. It was reputed to be a stiff drink that only the most courageous were willing to try. Eggnog is still a popular drink during the holidays, and its social character remains. It is hard to imagine a Christmas without a cup of the "nog" to spice up the atmosphere and lend merriment and joy to the procedings. When you try out some of the recipes on this site, remember that, like many other of our grand traditions, there is history and life behind that little frothy brew.

[Firawyn]

That pretty muck covers it!! lol :cool:

[Erestor Arcamen]

yeah I was bored, and didn have anything to do lol. I dont like eggnog that much, it just doesnt taste right to me.

[Firawyn]

Well I for one like eggnog very much and I am depressed at how hard it is to find the stuff when it's not Christmas time. :p

[Erestor Arcamen]

my dad buys it a lot in the store lol too but i dont drink it, o well, more for him

[Sammyboy]

Ahh, that explains what that is then, ta! :p

Strange that Eggnog doesn't seem to have caught on here, mind you everyone drinks just about everything else at Christmas so I don't think it matters! :D

Anyway, I'm dragging this off topic and turning this thread into a discussion on eggnog :p

[Forgotten Path]

Hello, family. Sorry for my absence. I hope everyone had a merry christmas. Out of shcool so I don't really have access to a computer. I'm writing this from my aunt's house.

I love eggnog. Who cares if the eggnog discussion was off topic? What's this family for if not to spread knowledge? :D It was interesting!

I'm glad we haven't had a flurry of new members since I've been gone. That would be a lot of strain on me to get the tree fixed up. Welcome, Ol'Gaffer. :D

I see there are alot of changes with the way the forum looks. Nice. I guess.

I'll get to work on the tree when I have ready access to a computer so I can check all the family ties.

Alstaldo and reem, I will get right to PMing you. Everyone have a happy new year and all that. Classes start on the 5th, so I should start posting reguraly again sometime around then.

[Lonna]

Hello, family--happy holidays to all!

I hope your Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever was wonderful.

And may the New Year bring you many blessings and hopes fulfilled.

************************************************** ******

I thought I was cousin to someone or two, and now I see you have me down for "Elemmire; ????(f)=>daughter of Lonna and ????"

A daughter sounds lovely. So who is my husband??

Details, details . . .

"Joy, Joy, Joy!" the angels sang beneath a clear, bright star--to shepherds amazed that night. "We bring good tidings of great joy which will be for all people! For unto you is born this day in the city of David--a Savior, Christ, the Lord!"

[Firawyn]

Watch it Lonna.

I asked who my husband was and I'm getting a full scale wedding!!! :D lol

[Lonna]

Thanks for the warning, Sabeen!

Well, is Astaldo married?

Hey, I'm into eloping! On the backs of white horses to the mountains and the woods . . .

[Lonna]

Dear Family,

Happy New Year to one and all--cousins, parents, siblings, moms, dads, uncles, aunts, nephews, neices (did I miss anyone)--oh yes, and the family pet--Penny the Senegal Parrot! Not to mention the horses . . . :)

[Erestor Arcamen]

Happy New Year Family! :)

[reem]

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, dear KA

[reem]

Wow Reem you're excited! Pass me a pint 'a Ale. Lets get this party started.
Indeed! Here ye go me brother-in-law:D *sloshes a bit of ale as she passes over the overfilled stein*

You know what I just realised? If Nóm is our (Sabs', Astaldo's, Forgotten's and my) mother, and she is WebMaster's daughter, that makes us WebMaster's grandchildren! Ha! Doesn't that entitle us to some *clears throat and examines nails* erm...you know...power? *slowly spreading maliscious grin*. Of course, as the grandchildren of his only daughter, once WM (may he live forever!) passes on (perish the thought!), our dearest mother inherets TTF, *rubs hands* and you know what comes after that! *psychotic chuckle* ehe, ehehe, heheeheheh! *notices disturbed looks and checks herself. Clears throat* Erm, ale, anyone?

[Erestor Arcamen]

I'm a Noldorin Elf just like Galadriel I have power too!

[Firawyn]

OMG reem!! You are mean. However...that thought does spring some interest. I would love to be a mod at this place someday. It would totaly thrill me!!

Now as for power, I am Sabeen and I am a necromancer of a sort. Not a bad one mind you. But my buisness lies with the dead. :cool:

[Erestor Arcamen]

So does that make you a Maia? that's cool I'll be just like Thingol, lol and we can create our own huge elvish kingdom and it'll be protected by the girdle of Sabeen! Yes we will rule a kingdom and have a powerful civilization of elves that shall prosper and the time of the elves shall become anew once more. *notices a bunch of people staring at him* ok uh thats it!

[Firawyn]

lol! Yes, my dear husband. We shall have a kingdom of our own one day. We will rule middle earth together!! (you know, it's not like those single guys have had much luck taking over ME) Behind every successful man there is a woman!!

[Erestor Arcamen]

yeah there is and it looks like the woman behind my success is Sabeen.

[Forgotten Path]

Check it out! Updated, in color, big enough to see! It's beutiful!

[Erestor Arcamen]

I just got some HTML when I opened it, probly moy computer's screwed up.

[ely]

It's not just you. I can't see it either. :(

[Firawyn]

me niether...just a little box with an "x" in the middle. Sorry Forgotten Path!! :(

Hey reem how's those wedding plans going? The date is set for Febuary 27 so get moveing my dear sister!!

[Forgotten Path]

:mad: Damn, your're right. :mad: :( And this one is beautiful. I'll try and figure it out. Meanwhile, if you want to look at it, tell me your're email and I will send you a copy.

[Firawyn]

It's ttfaddict@comcast.net ...I love this place can't you tell? ;) lol I can't belive no one else had taken it when I got it!!

[Erestor Arcamen]

C'mon people, I need a mommy and daddy ! Erestor's an orphan with a lovely wife here.

[Firawyn]

How about Mrs. Maggot is Erestor mom and that is how we all met??

[King Aragorn]

ummm....what's been happening recently? I've been off for a while...

[Forgotten Path]

Mrs. Maggot is your godmother, Sabeen. Of course, you're idea is very good, but I think that there is someone who is going to be Erestor's mother, so you can keep you're godmother. Of course, we'll just have to wait and see.

KA, not much. Except there is a wedding being planned, and did you catch the interesting disscussion on egg-nogg?

[King Aragorn]

I'm pretty sure I missed it since I haven't been on here for a long time.

[Forgotten Path]

Well, it was pretty interesting if you want to go back and read it. There is even a thing on the history of egg-nogg and a link to a site about it. :)

ely, dreadlord has agreed to be your husband if that is alright with you.

[Firawyn]

Now there's a name for you!! Have fun ely!!

[Erestor Arcamen]

Of course you know, Erestor was the one that posted the Egg Nog history and site lol ;)

[ely]

ummm....what's been happening recently? I've been off for a while...
Well, we tried to celebrate your birthday (at least I tried for you are after all my granddaughter) and it would have probably turned out a little better if you had been present. :p But never mind that, you're here now and I can give you that birthday hug. *hugs* :D

ely, dreadlord has agreed to be your husband if that is alright with you.
Of course. :) It's nice to have someone by my side. ;)

[Ingwë]

Of course. :) It's nice to have someone by my side. ;)
Cool!
Now, I want to wish you happy New Year (I think I`m not late)

[Sammyboy]

I think I might have to 'resign' my position in the family I'm afraid, I'm a bit short of time at the moment so haven't been posting much here recently :(

I could be like a long lost uncle who turns up occasionally for a drink or something perhaps! :p

[Lonna]

You would make a good uncle to tell stories over a mug of ale, I'm sure! Sometimes the rare visit is the most valued.

[Lonna]

Forgotten Path, your family tree looks great! Good work. :)

[ely]

Oh yes, it's beautiful! :)

Of course not. Thanks. :) Have a great year yourself, too. ;)

[King Aragorn]

Wow...good job on the family tree!

*hugs ely back* thanks for the birthday hug!

[Forgotten Path]

Thanks for all the praise on the tree guys! (actually, girls!) :D I appreciate it. I'm glad you like it. I still like to look at it. :) It's cool. :cool: Now, just a few more members and we're sorted out. And once we get the family filled up, I've got some questions to ask. :confused: :) You'll see what I'm up to soon enough. ;) I think reem may know what I'm talking about. (Don't tell 'em yet, reem! :D )

[Forgotten Path]

every time I look at the family tree...only one word comes to mind....wow

Thanks alot KA! :D
Happy B-Day e.Blackstar! :D

I have some riddles for the family! Try to figure these out!

1)Okay. Your'e driving a bus. At your first stop, three people get on the bus. At the next stop, four people get on. At the third stop, five people get on but three people get off. What color are the bus driver's eyes? (No guessing!)

2)You go on a skiing vacation. During your'e stay in your'e cabin, there is a snowstorm, and you become snowbound (trapped in the cabin). It's very cold, and you will freeze to death if you do not get a fire lit. There is a wood stove filled with wood, a fireplace with wood and kindling in it, and an oil lamp filled with oil. If you only have one match, what do you light first?

When you figure it out or have to ask the answer, you will be quoteing Gandalf: "Simple, like all riddles when you see the answer" :D

Happy B-Day to Spirit!! :D :) :D :)

[King Aragorn]

Happy birthday to my cousin, spirit! *gives spirit a birthday hug*

[Erestor Arcamen]

Well the second one is easy, but do you want me to tell it on here? I'll pm you it so i dont give it away, as for the first one, i'm confused :(

[Lonna]

Here are the answers to your riddles:

1. The bus driver's eyes are blue. I am driving the bus, and my eyes are blue!

2. You light the oil lamp first, for then you can light the wood stove and the fireplace, using the flame from the lamp's wick (sort of like how Pippin lit the bonfire of Gondor . . . and then the mountaintops were lit to summon the people of Rohan to Gondor's aid in ROTK.

[Erestor Arcamen]

ok i'll post it on here because everyone else is.

1. My eyes are brown and i'm driving the bus

2. The match! you light the match first!

Word of advice: NEVER TRY TO FOOL AN ELF!

[Lonna]

Erestor Arcamen, how clever! Of course you light the match first! Duh for me saying light the oil lamp (I just assumed that the match would be lit and not worth mentioning)

[Forgotten Path]

LOL! :D

I love riddles, especially clever ones! :D Does anyone else have any? Maybe we could start a riddle contest in the family!

Everyone have a good day! :)

[Erestor Arcamen]

I love riddles, I have a bunch I can send, and thank you Lonna, good try for you too.

Here's a few:

1)(this one's hard) "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

2) Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
3) I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. What am I?

Enjoy! the first one and the last one are hard. I have many more so if you want more, I'll post them or you can IM me on AIM to have some fun with them lol.
4) I'm the part of the bird that's not in the sky. I can swim in the sea and yet remain dry. What am I?

[ely]

Ooh! Riddles! Fun! :D

I think I've heard them all before, but I only know the first one for certain, and I think I also know the third. But let others guess. ;)

I have collected a few riddles myself. How about this one:

Forward I'm heavy, backwards I'm not. What am I?

:cool: :p ;)

[Firawyn]

Now Erestor I know you know this one so don't tell any one.

"There was a man found dead in the midding of the desert. Beside him was a pakage. If he had opened the package he would not have died. What was in the pakage??"

[Erestor Arcamen]

ok Sabeen, I'm a good boy lol. And yeah I love riddles too yay!

[Forgotten Path]

Um, hello everyone. Long time since anyone posted here. Or for that matter on any of the threads I'm subscribed to. Am I jinxed? Do you think its alright to reveal the answers to the riddles?

[ely]

Or for that matter on any of the threads I'm subscribed to.
Maybe you should subscribe to some other threads then? ;) :p :)

I'll try some of the riddles...

"There was a man found dead in the midding of the desert. Beside him was a pakage. If he had opened the package he would not have died. What was in the pakage??"
A parachute? But actually, if it contained water, food and a compass perhaps, and he never opened it, that could have caused his death, too...

1)(this one's hard) "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."
Language.

3) I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. What am I?
Smoke?

[Firawyn]

Parachute was correct ely! Good job!

[Lonna]

Yes, please post riddle answers.

How is my Tolkien Family doing?

How about posting our "Random Thoughts"? That could be funny. Here are a few of mine:

--Do you like Lucky Charms cereal for dinner?

--Have you ever been too tired to brush your teeth?

--Have you ever been too tired to reach over and turn off the alarm clock?

--Thoughts like spaghetti flew through my brain.

--If anger makes you see red, then why are Valentine Hearts red?

--My Parrot Penny thinks she's the Center of the World, but she's only the size of a Blue Jay, bright green and yellow, with an oversized beak that can bite like heck (hence the saying "bite the hand that feeds you"). Penny is afraid of snow, the closet, and sudden noises, but she can say many words and laugh like I do. Maybe Penny is smarter than I am . . . :p

[Erestor Arcamen]

My riddle answers for the riddles I posted:

1. The first one is "language"

[Lonna]

Erestor, I'm doing pretty well. I finally finished Chapter 10 of "Selah's Sword" (I think I got over some kind of writer's block regarding that book).

Sabeen, your random thoughts are great! I also wonder why this site is so addicting. Well, there are worse things to be addicted to.

Random Thoughts:

--Why is an Internet Family a whole lot easier to interact with than a "real" family?
--Blood is not thicker than water. What a dumb saying. My friends often are much kinder and closer than my born-to-blood family.
--You can choose your friends, not your family.
--What is "real" anyway? :(

[Firawyn]

Thanks Lonna! :D

Random Thoughts:

~why is it that when you write a story and everybody likes it, you don't seem to have the time to work on it?

~why are kids taught to write before they are taught to read? don't you need to read what you've written?

~what isn't alaska part of canada? it makes of a freaking thirs of the US

Hello, everyone. I hope you are doing alright. I still don't get the language riddle (random thought-"am I stupid?").

[Erestor Arcamen]

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is." Now, you gotta read it very well. THe first two sentences are there to throw u off. Here it is without them:

There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Now do you get it? lol i slapped myself in the head when i read the answer lol.

[Firawyn]

I still don't get it. :o Oh well.

Another Random thought:

did you know that if you talke the e out of mean it spells man?? and iff you take the a out of mean it spells men??

[ely]

I still don't get it. :o Oh well.
You mean the language riddle? It says: There are only three words in "the English language". Look at "the English language" as a phrase. It consists of three words: the, English and language. The first word is "the". The second word is "English". The third word is "language". :)

Really random thoughts:

~ I got cherries!
~ I'm so sleepy.
~ I should eat those cherries. I will. Tomorrow. :p

[Lonna]

Why does a mother teach her child to talk for a year or two and then spend the rest of the 18 years trying to get the child to be quiet?

Why do grandparents spoil their grandchildren? To get back at their own grown children (because their little kids get sent back with tummy upsets from all that ice cream and Merry-go-Round riding)?

Why am I allergic to something I love--evergreen trees? :rolleyes:

[King Aragorn]
