(OT) I am back

[Edena_of_Neith]

Hey there, Tokiwong. I remember you.
I could not forget the player of an evil, scheming Iuz who played a major role through the end of the 3rd IR!
Nice to hear from you again!

 

[Upper_Krust]

Hi Edena mate!

Nice to see you back!

I trust Tazebo is keeping well!?

 

[The Forsaken One]

Tazebo

A brother of...?

Describe places we have been to william? heh well I suppose it is entirely possible, but those skills of mine remains for other times surely. right now it is edena's section not mine

Edena any chance of catching you on ICQ in the near future? or some other less boardy place?

 

[Dinkeldog]

Welcome back, Edena. Good luck.

And from now on, this will be in Meta.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

Hello Edena! I enjoyed your Sauron threads in the NonRPG forum, and wanted to say welcome back.

 

[Darkness]

Hello again, Edena!

Those Mongols, who attacked Europe, were further away from their home in Mongolia than Los Angeles is from New York City.

Can you imagine that?
Riding a third of the way across the entire world, on a horse?
Being a third of the world away from your family, in an utterly strange place, fighting for your life against deadly enemies again and again?

I am not made of the stuff of those Mongol horsemen. I am not that strong of mind, that I could do such things!

They were horse nomads, though, weren't they? And as such, they were accustomed to a life of constant travelling (especially on horseback) - so I guess it wasn't as bad for them as it would be for you or me.
(The distances that they sometimes travelled certainly were mind-boggling, though. )

Anyway... I'm glad that you're back again and I hope that everything in your family will turn out for the best.
And I can emphasize very much; I, too, have family members with alcohol problems...

Airwolf, I wish to thank you for telling me about the cause of the black stuff.
A question, though: Isn't this bad for the lungs? I mean, don't the people of Arizona breathe this stuff in? If it settles on cars, can't it settle in the lungs?

The road dust doesn't really cause any problems. It is covered in oil, grease, or whatever else drips from cars as they drive the roads so it is pretty heavy, compared to regular dust.

The regular dust is where some people have problems. There is some type of fungus that lives in the dry dust of desert around here. Anyone who has lived in the Phoenix area for more than a few years has this in their lungs. Most people are not affected and don't even know about it. The fungus doesn't cause much problem every few years we hear about someone who has died, but that is rare. Here is a web site if you are interested.
