When is your birthday?

Wow that's awesome. I love reading about religions. They are all actually quite interesting. A lot of people don't like it but I've also read the Satanic bible...I'm no satanist I just wanted to see what it was that Satanists believe in. I've also read a lot about new age religions, the druids, and other religions like that. I think I've heard of one or two of the authors that you listed but I don't think I've read anything by them. Unfortunately (or maybe it's fortunately) I read so much that many of the books titles and authors I forget until I see the book cover again.

Hi there, Danielle-

I noticed when posting a message to LeoRex that you liked historical novels. Have you read anything by Nigel Tranter (Scottish, largely medieval and early modern, well written). I recommend his Robert the Bruce trilogy. I also recommend the Sharpes novels by Bernard Cornwell (no relation to Patricia) as well as the Aubrey-Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brien (or maybe it was O'Brian), one of which was made into the Russell Crowe movie, Master and Commander. Its been a long while since I read any of them, or for that matter anything fiction; I spend most of my free time devouring National Geographic and Smithsonian magazines now, and sometimes take a foray into something spiritual, like the Tao te Ching (or Tao of Pooh which used Winnie the Pooh to teach Taoism), and when I'm especially daring, I might break out James: The Brother of Jesus by Eisenmann (a tough read). What can I say? Structures fascinate me, whether social or physical or philosophical. The Tao of Physics is an interesting read, too, but its been decades since I last read it (actually, now that I look at your birth date, the last time I read it you weren't even born yet). Thanks, now I feel old! Don't worry though, I'll get over it, someday, (Sniffle, sniffle ...) ;-)

Hi there, Danielle,

Thanks for the welcome. I've seen photos of Salem, and have long been fascinated by the Witch Trials. Two of my ancestresses were among that group--one we oldest women convicted & executed, the other was one of the 1st 3 women nicked--she died in Boston Jail waiting to be executed--doesn't give me the warm fuzzies, but it does give me pause any time I see anything that sounds or looks like a witch trial nowadays. But that was 400+ years ago, its been about 200 years since my family left New England for Pennsylvania & New York. And having said that, my brother & I were both born in Colorado, spent the majority of our lives living in the San Francisco Bay Area and now live in SE Reno. I would love to visit Salem sometime--its one of those places that you just have to go to, you know? But to live, personally, I think I'd rather live somewhere more like Portland, Oregon or maybe around Puget Sound, not necessarily in Seattle or Tacoma. I like the mountains, the ocean, lots of trees and love the rain. As for the site, I ched out the photos you posted already and the ones of you in that blue dress were simply fantastic--Rob is a genius with a camera, isn't he? And I love what he's done with FTV, Alison Angel & Lia 19. Not only is he a fantastic photographer from the glamour or simple nudes standpoints, but he's also a brilliant documentarian--I'd never joined a site like these before, and while there are some decent places to go to look at beautiful women, this was the only one that not only features beautiful women of varying body types, but also gives us the opportunity to hear her speak, to watch her move, and to see what sort of person she is--shy but with a mischievous streak buried underneath; confident but willing to push her own limits that much more; shy, maybe too shy right now, but willing to give it a shot, maybe even to come back and try again. Its just cool to see not only the body but also to catch a glimpse of something even sexier--her personality. Oh, and before I wax philosophical or poetic too much more, I want to say that a big part of what made up my mind to join FTV was stumbling across your sample photos about a month ago. Must go now and get ready for my nieces--I take care of them when their parents are working and I've had a few days of relative freedom to email back and forth with Rob who directed me here, but now they will get the bulk of my attention--maybe a walk to the park, followed by Star Trek with the little one goes down for a nap. 2 1/2 and she has a big crush on Spock (I got her one of those retro Spock toys I had when I was little; now she sleeps with it like its a Pooh Bear!). Cheers, Ms D.

Well if you ever get a chance to go to Salem...jump on it. Salem is one of the only places in America (other than Phoenix) that I would consider moving to...if I had to. Salem is the epitomy of America's history. The people there are super friendly...very new agey. Everyone seemed really happy when I was there...but that might be just because it was Halloween time and who isn't happy during Halloween. They have A TON of old buildings and locations that they have preserved. So how are you liking FTVGirls.com by the way?

Hey Geolarson, welcome to the board. Thank you so much for joining it. If you have any questions, comments, or if you just want to talk please don't hesitate to do so.

XOXO

Hi ya, Ms Danielle--

Lovely site for yet another lovely gentlewoman who has graced the webpages of FTV. Rob emailed me about it earlier this evening. I haven't joined a forum before (for that matter, I only joined FTV the other day, the first time I bothered to join a site, other than NEHGS). Speaking of the latter, I noticed a photo of you at Salem last Halloween--can you, if you have the time, tell me what Salem, or Danvers, is like? My great-great-great-&c. grandmother's house is there, now a museum, and was wondering if you'd taken in many of the sites. Not only have I never joined an online forum before, but I've only been east of Julesburg CO twice in my life, the farthest east to my Mom's hometown in upstate NY when I was something like 4. Anyway, as my little niece's hero (Spock) would say, "Fascinating." Cheers--
