Halcyon is the cookie thief. BUT... someone else took 62 cookies from the cookie jar!" That way we know this player has been caught and we'll look on another profile. Next, copy this entire post and paste it onto someone else's profile (player must have more than 100 posts and must have been active in the last month.) Lastly, change the type in red so that the numbers each increase by one. It will be easier to track that way. Please post your findings in the thread entitled SOMEONE STOLE A COOKIE! Forum Game. Have Fun!

A bouquet of virtual-roses are tossed (gently) at your feet :D

Awesome! I hoped that would work.

Celebrating the great music left by Ray Manzarek, who left us too soon.

Consider this virtual "rep."

Did you PM me? I tried to clear my box so I could answer and I'm afraid I deleted it accidently. D'oh!

Could you re-send? One of those days.

Did you send me a PM today? I was clearing my box with "brain-fog" and deleted todays incoming. D'oh.

Fantastic advice on how to help teach phonic blends!

Posts like yours make me miss rep.

Feeling the weight of too many friends and family struggling with cancer.

For what it's worth, I thought your son was done wrong by the baseball coach. Totally different situation.

Glad to give a laugh :D

Have you seen this???

It's like American MEP

Here is "myth" from the OED

1. a. A traditional story, typically involving supernatural beings or forces, which embodies and provides an explanation, aetiology, or justification for something such as the early history of a society, a religious belief or ritual, or a natural phenomenon.

Myth doesn't mean "falsehood" nor does it mean legend. It doesn't mean the story is "true" either. It just refers to sacred stories that attempt to explain man's origins, and the like.

"Genesis" is mythological. Although I got beaten around the head when I once referred to the Adam and Eve story a "myth" by people who don't know any better (on a "classical education" forum :tongue_smilie:). *Sigh*

I was never a complainer about SOTW. One, I haven't read it. Two, criticizing our hostess on her forum is something I'd be slow to do. I once praised the change made in the recent edition that more clearly indicated stories that were taken from historical sources and those from mythic sources.

How nice of you to say. Hopefully when you are not so busy we will get a chance to hear more from you.

I look forward to that :)
