Hello Aure! Post "Lance plus Guin 4ever" under your sig. Knight!

Hi Reyyan! Add "I love Gryffindor" under your sig image (if you have an image, if not, only add the words) Knight!

I am!

I live in the country, in the United States, and while most of our Snakes are not venomous, we do see alot of Copperheads. Copperheads blend in perfectly with the dead leaves and fall foliage on the ground. They also blend in quite well with the bark of some trees in the late summer evenings, when they love to hunt. Fortunately, not very many people die from Copperhead bites, but who wants to be bitten by one in the first place?

I'd accio my tv remote control. It's the end of the day and time to relax. I've just sat down and noticed my remote is on the other side of the room. While I can use my cell phone to change channels, it won't turn my television on.

Thank for such a fun activity! It was a hoot!

I would create a wrapping paper design which changes colors to the favorite color of the recipient and adds their name, and can be used over and over again whenever it it is needed for a new gift and a new recipient. I'd would also design a gift which would toss out unobtrusive confetti or glitter or sparkles whenever the recipient is in the process of opening the gift (but not so much that the recipient is annoyed and doesn't want to open the package altogether!)

Congratulations Sky, Ivey, Lorainia, and Ada, for those truly golden promotions and shiny new badges!

My favorite quote comes from Deathly Hallows. I think we're so used to the scene where Dumbledore tells Snape he has to be the one to kill him being so full of heartbreak and angst, that we seldom remember what Snape's initial response actually was:

Among all the items brought to the Blacksmith's stall to be repaired is a large figure of a unicorn. The unicorn had once been very beautiful and full of charm and held lots of meaning. In the case of this particular unicorn, while the horse's head will still clearly visible, it's face was very dirty. It was completely intact, however, as was the horse's body. The unicorn's lion's tail had been removed completely, however, and so was the beard. The slender, circular shaped horn on it's head was also laying on the ground of the dirty shop. The goat's hooves were smashed completely. It's difficult to say who ripped apart this beautiful heraldic symbol! Maybe someone was having a bit too much fun and couldn't understand why a horse would also have a beard, a horn, and goat's legs. They probably thought they'd remove the strange parts of the creature so it could be returned to looking like a normal horse.
