| I have some very difficult people to shop for each year. This year I decided to get a jump on it and order gifts, this way I limited the crowds I had to deal with. Not to mention I can wrap them right away and stash them away from prying eyes. Only today did I receive the first shipment! How many times does UPS have to reschedule? My package can cross the country in a matter of a day or two but takes three days to get to my house from the next town over!?! To make matters worse I ordered something for myself, not necessary for Christmas ... it shipped right away and here in two days. I can't win ... OK rant over. | |

| Yes, I love baseball. When I was little I would watch every game with my dad. This will be the first time watching the post season without him. The Philadelphia Phillies are going to the World Series ... so I hope you're watching with me dad.  | |

| This ad just cracks me up ... had to share ... for a good laugh or giggle  | |

He is prepared to hide and grieve away the entire summer but things don't go as planned... Not even close. Genres: Drama, Romance, AU Warnings: Mild Language, Mild Violence, Scenes of a Mild Sexual Nature Era: Hogwarts Characters: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, Lupin, Tonks, Molly, Fred, George, Ginny Pairings: Harry/Ginny, Arthur/Molly

| I couldn't resist since I was going through some pictures tonight. Our boston terrier pups (brother & sister) have been with us for a year now. Buddy the boy (Black nose) and Missy the girl (Pink nose) when we brought them home last year.  Here they are about nine months old.  | |

| This past week I received a commended author and came across a new site to me, Gryffindor Tower Reloaded. There are under 100 stories, but some I have never read before. So I figured I would share and if interested ... From the home page: 'Welcome For so many of us DH was a renewal: a renewal of our love of canon; a renewal of our love of the H/G pairing; and, for those of us who met up to read the book together, a renewal of friendship. In this spirit of renewal, we have humbly decided to reopen an old website, dedicated to canon, the H/G pairing and friendship.' http://www.gtreloaded.net/index.phpI admit I get a kick out of finding something new *grins*. | |

| From one of my Yahoo Groups I received this warning ... so to be safe and informed here it is: Don't know if this is true, but I got the warning from a friend, then the invite, so the threat just might be real!
Hi all of you!!
~~~~~
I don't know about you... but I've got an Email with an invitation to join "Grouply". It was from a group-member, but it didn't feel good..so we did some research... and it is NO GOOD!! Do NOT!!!! join that Grouply thing!!
For Your Information and PLEASE READ:
~.~.~.~.~.
Grouply is stealing Yahoo info ... Comment: here is what I got:
There are a few new services coming online which are social "networking" sites similar to My Space and Facebook. One of these new Services is called "Grouply". Grouply is tapping Yahoo lists and Reposting the messages to Grouply members. As soon as ONE list member Joins this service, all of our messages will then be archived by Grouply. Grouply changes your email address to (yourname)@grouply. Com.
For the purpose of your Yahoo list mail only. They will also go into Your Yahoo account and change all of your preferences regarding how You view your mail, whether you get individual posts or digests, and Whether you can be directly added to any of a million other Yahoo groups.
In order to do this, Grouply requires that you give them your Yahoo ID And password. I am truly hoping that most of our members are smart Enough not to hand over that information to ANYONE--especially to Another web service! There is no guarantee that this information that Grouply is aggregating is secure, thus leaving your sign-in info Available to Spammers and hackers--including all of our list files and Photos.
At this point, there is no way for us to block Grouply's access to our List (although that is being worked on). Until there is, I will be Checking daily for list members who may have innocently joined Grouply. I will be unsubbing and banning them, plus making direct Contact with them explaining why we will not allow this in our
Membership. They will be welcome to rejoin once they unsub from Grouply.
~.~.~.~.~.~
So please do NOT join!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs
Someone else also recommended to mark any invitations received as 'SPAM.' | |

| Alan Horn, president of Warner Bros., will be issuing a statement directly to fans responding to criticism of the company's decision to delay the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" until next July.  http://feeds.hpana.com/~r/HPANA/~3/369485010/news.20580.html
Curious how he drops the phrase 'silver lining' in his statement. | |

| I cannot believe that WB would not only push the movie back but to push it back EIGHT MONTHS! I know there are many devistated fans like myself. However, I do have to wonder what J.K. Rowling thinks as well as the cast. Wonder if there will be any protesting fans in NY City this weekend with the rehearsals of 'Equus' beginning today?
From everything I've read so far WB's change is due to wanting higher box office revenue. Did they take a moment to think that by pushing it out Eight months ... not days or weeks ... but months would possibly hurt potential revenue? Probably not. AND to bombard us with new pics now? Oh yeah that helps ... NOT, it's just a reminder now that we have to wait 10 1/2 months now rather than the 3 months originally, it's like salt in a wound. Oh well *sighs*. - Tags:hbp

| YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7 Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : -) 12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list AND NOW YOU ARE laughing at yourself. | |

| This was posted in a yahoo group: A new Harry Potter Archive site ... the future of FanFiction. www.FicCity.comPlease join the site and look around. We promise a FanFiction experience unlike any you have yet had, including a Googlesque search engine that allows the searching of stories across multiple FanFiction sites including FanFiction.Net, Sink Into Your Eyes, and PhoenixSong. Sounds interesting, I couldn't navigate it, but figured I'd keep an eye on it. If anyone succeeds, let me know *sighs* | |

| My Aunt sent this to me and I found this interesting: NO SPACE - LEAVE THIS PLACE
How can you tell when you are in a room, restroom, motel etc. with a mirror or a 2-way glass?
Here's how: I thought it was quite interesting! And I know in about 30 seconds you're going to do what I did and find the nearest mirror.
Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?
A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for businesswomen passed this on.
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror (i.e., they can see you, but you can't see them) There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing
rooms . It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by looking at it.
So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
Just conduct this simple test:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!
'No Space, Leave the Place' So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the 'fingernail test.' It doesn't cost you anything.
REMEMBER. No Space, Leave the Place:
Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc.
Men: Share this with your wife and girlfriends, daughters daughters-in- law mothers and/or friends.
