Each time you kill one, depending on your motives and situation, you receive points or demerits accordingly (Rule 26, page 15 Fable Nation Guide Book) “Not the time for jokes,” I shrieked.“It won’t eat me right away.

He was a cocky sort of fellow, marching about his area with both antenna raised high and unbent. He thought he was invincible, and well he should have what with his recent victories. Those rolly pollies didn’t see him coming that is for sure. Never did see a pill bug roll so fast, not since [...]
The other day I had an interesting conversation with my dogs. The fat pug told me I was slacking as a housemaid–writing too much, she lectured–what about the children? Of course I countered with (and not very nicely as I knew she was manipulating me for barbeque spareribs) “Mind you own business, pug, your tongue [...]
Prologue If someone told me there would come a time I would not want to play the newest, hottest video game on the market I would not have believed them. Most times I would play my games until the rents threatened my freedom, or hunger threatened my stomach. Didn’t matter which came first. It never [...]

Posted: January 4, 2011 in UncategorizedI like to imagine that my heart is a little house. Maybe even a quaint cottage. It has a stone fireplace with two high back, gingham print chairs angled in front. There is a perpetual stack of fire wood at the side and a bottomless mug of hot chocolate on the little reading table [...]
