Like grapes. I mean talk about something magical. Bite sized and delicious. And how about onions. Not only do they make soup taste better they are self dicing. I mean chop, slice, slice, slice and the onion is diced and ready to add to the soup. I don't even want to start on bananas. Caper's Song Book /index.php?story=000001/2021-07-27-22:00:29.txt Posted by hairylarry on 2021-07-27 at 22:00 - https://gamerplus.org/blogs/post/798 A bard's songbook is like a magician's spell book in that it contains words of power, songs for wind, songs for rain, songs to make the fire burn hotter and warm the room, songs of companionship to warm the heart. https://gamerplus.org/blogs/post/797 Ari and Caper worked on Caper's Song Book last night on Inspired Unreality. First we worked on a list of songs.

I know Marantha didn't take them." Just then the adventurers walked through the door looking a little bit tired of being regaled. Everyone looked up and a hush fell over the room. Once again the witch put her finger beside her nose. "Maybe our heroes can help us solve this mystery."

"This is the craziest thing I've ever investigated," Slykver said. The witch raised her eyebrows and glancing around the group admitted rather reluctantly that she too was confounded. "I can't say that I see anything particularly telling in this hodgepodge, but I feel that there must be something that connects the items or maybe there is more than one thief and each chose something that was conveniently available." "But who would think a cat's milk dish was worth taking," Mavis interjected. "What's even less understandable they took my corsets. When the shouts of laughter died Mavis glowered and informed the group that it wasn't a laughing matter.

While they chatted the witch was looking over Marantha's small collection of magic items. Mavis Goodbody barged in mumbling to herself. "Stuff missing here, stuff missing there, a ring, a knife, someone even took my cats milk dish. Makes no sense." "What's that," said Marantha, "Someone took your cat's milk dish?" "And that's not all." said Mavis. But before she could finish Sheriff Slykver and Mathius came in arguing about the maps. "They were just hand drawn maps in a tube." said Mathius, "Nothing special about them." "There she is," he said and walked over to Milathia. "Tell the Sheriff about my maps." Before she could speak the witch piped in. "Do you mean these maps? I was wondering what they were doing in the magic items. Ain't nothing magical about them." "My maps!", said Mathius. "Now how did they get there?" "Maps, a ring, a knife, and a milk dish." said the witch laying her finger beside her nose. Moon Pies Delight the Eyes /index.php?story=000002/2019-09-26-13:36:48.txt Posted by vivian on 2019-09-26 at 13:36 - When I was a child Moon Pies were a treat that couldn't be beat. I could even make my own if I wanted to. All I needed was some graham crackers, a couple of marshmallows and a chocolate bar and I was in business. In those days a bonfire, a long stick and a package of hot dogs often preceded the gooey goodness of the Moon Pie. By the end of the meal we were usually covered in ketchup and marshmallow-chocolate goo. Mothers would shake their heads and bemoan the effort it was going to take to get us cleaned up and dads just grinned and remember when it was them. Life seemed simple then, of course I was probably 10. Now it seems the hot dog comes in a cardboard tray and you eat it on your way to the next stop and hope the dog does not make a mess on your new dress.Moon pies are round, wrapped in plastic and come from the store. Makes me miss those days before everything was labeled and bought at the store.

For instance the rather prickly cactus can help you create a rather interesting new dance step but you will take little pleasure in the accomplishment.

It's a sad thing that his hat has lost it's T and it's mostly just a ha! If you can't keep your Ts then it's best to wear a cap. So now you see that this is even better than that.
