I just made a really nice purchase for dirt cheap. I went to the local magazine/book store, and found four used (but still very good condition) copies of the Battlestar Galactica novels by Glen A. Larson.

I acquired (for under 5 bucks total) The Cylon Death Machine (which is Gun on Ice Planet Zero), The Young Warriors, Galactica Discovers Earth (alas, adapted from Galactica 1980), and The Living Legend.

I look forward to reading these adaptations.

Ambrosa Intoxificated,

First of all Martok ..............thanks

Second of all .........That was a FANTASTIC BUY! YOU LUCKY DAGGITT!!!!!!!!!!

I truly do feel lucky.

And the ambrosa flows freely,

argggggggghhhhhhhhh............

ever since last thursday my allergies have been acting up. Normally it wouldn't bother me but its driving me mad! I am taking something for them but according to my mother in law, anyone who has any kind of pollen or hayfever allergies has been affected. Even my hubby has been complaining about his.

Right now I'm living on sudefed and advil because my allergies are so bad

bsg1fan1975 · August 25th, 2004, 05:20 AM

pollen is high here especially since its the start of ragweed season. Thank god for Alavert!

Can't take anything else, either it don't touch it at all or it makes me sleepy!

martok2112 · August 25th, 2004, 09:09 AM

I must truly say that I feel for anyone with allergies. Especially if a person may have an allergy against something they might really love.

I am replying whilst having not read the entirety of this particular aspect of the thread, so please forgive my ignorance.

bsg, I hope that whatever is afflicting you right now abates soon. I hate hearing of someone being made to be miserable, and there doesn't seem to be much of anything they can do about it. ((((((((((((((((((BSG))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Respectfully,and with great empathy,
Martok2112

Maybe this'll give you a good laugh. I am alergic to beer. (Which I never liked the taste of the stuff anyway...so now I have more reason to stay away.)

Dawg · August 25th, 2004, 10:08 AM

Allergic to beer - I'd go crazy.

((((bsg)))) ((((shiningstar))))

I suffer from seasonal allergies, too. Mostly grass pollen - which makes mowing the yard an adventure at times. A few years ago I mowed a field with a tractor and pull-behind mower - I got hit so bad I had a blister form on my eyeball and my sinuses were literally plugged solid.

So I took an antihistamine and drove my wife around looking for a farmers' market........

Ah, memories.........

My problems were aggravated by physical sinus problems, though - I had surgery last winter and I've had far fewer problems with breathing this allergy season.

Anyway - best of luck to everyone with allergies....

Beer? Sheesh.

I am

Some bad news...

My youngest brother's son was shot by a drive-by this last Saturday. Hit him on the left side of his chest, just missing his heart. They are trying to save him, please keep your fingers crossed.

You hear of things like this happening to other people but never someone so close to home.

Please keep him in your prayers...
Muffit

martok2112 · August 25th, 2004, 10:51 AM

Oh, my God, Muffit.

I am so sorry to hear that. My prayers and thoughts are with your family.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((MUFFIT and Family))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Respectfully, and praying for the best,
Martok2112

Dawg · August 25th, 2004, 10:57 AM

My thoughts are with you and yours, Muffit.

I also hope the perpetrators are brought to justice.

I am

Muffit · August 25th, 2004, 11:20 AM

Thank you so much Martok and Dawg

bsg1fan1975 · August 25th, 2004, 01:21 PM

oh muffit that is sad. best of luck and well wishes to you and yours.

I heard something on the news last night that ticked me off and upset me. The parents of a 10 month old were arrested on suspicion of child abuse. They hurt their poor innocent daughter and the poor thing has little chance of surviving. The prosecution has stated already that if the little girl does not make it then the charges will be upgraded.

D^&n sad in this world when parents have to abuse an innocent baby.

Archangel · August 25th, 2004, 01:34 PM

Best of luck too your nephew, Muffit.

Today I had to put my youngest daughter on the REGULAR school bus all because the
school transportation department was too LAZY to follow her evaluation from the year
before. Sarah is autistic and not ready for the regular school bus. But after I complained
when I found out what they were planning to do to my youngest child ........they did
a rail road around me and went to my husband who I had to fight TOOTH and NAIL to
ensure that she was able to get the best educational advantages and get her autism
treated inspite of his overwhelming interference.

I begged them not to do this to her as the regular bus driver is not TRAINED to handle
someone like her. There was nothing I could do. In order for the ACLU to step in ....
I have to "TRY" to put her on the regular bus with her older sister and THEN if it
doesn't work .........then they'll THINK about trying something else.

Sarah looked so terrified as she stepped on the bus. She looked like a deer that was
looking into the head lights of a automobile. I wanted to cry but I forced myself to
smile and tell her to sit by her sister who as a FOURTH grader didn't want to sit by
her little sister but instead {undertstandably} wanted to sit by her friends.

Sarah sat down by her sister but as I left the bus I could see the unshed tears and
the fear in her eyes. I wanted to run up and just pull her off of the bus because I
can see from the way she's attacked ME and her Father when ever we have to go
somewhere that she simply isn't ready for this. I begged her father just to let me
drive them to school but all he could talk about was the rising price of GAS .......I
am beginning to wonder if he loves Sarah at all and if he blames ME for being autistic
and making her that way too.

I'm sorry to vent here ......

It's a good place for venting, Shiningstar. Because the people here do care.

Shiningstar, dear friend,

May I also express my empathy to your personal plight, and my ire and contempt toward those which have served to do nothing but further your emotional distress. I cannot imagine your torment right now. But know that you have the empathy of your friends here at the Fleets.

I have therefore marshalled my personal fleet to deliver punitive measures to those responsible at the THWACK thread.
