[AsahinaKimi]

34. oh ..I will have to look for it...

My favorite is the Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musasahi .. and there is another book
that I enjoyed..Cloud of Sparrows by Takashi Matsuoka.

[SIMPLYB1980]

37. Thanks for the book suggestions, doubt my library

has them, but I've been looking for a reason to get a new book. Also Playstation needs to work on their copy and paste method. Sometimes it replaces characters with ? marks.

[yawnmaster]

14. Welcome to a olive garden loving, pro-breastfeeding in public member. eom

[taterguy]

16. You kiss your mother with that mouth?

[SIMPLYB1980]

17. On the cheek,

you should hear the stuff that comes out of her mouth. She's the only one I've ever seen make my dad blush.

[Sanity Claws]

21. How do you feel about cats? what about LOLs?

[SIMPLYB1980]

23. Cats not so much, but LOL cats and LOLs are great!

How does the lounge fell about Bearded Dragons?

[Sanity Claws]

24. Pics of all kinds of pets are always welcome here.

[SIMPLYB1980]

32. The little one is Yoshie. Draco is the Dad.

Growing nicely hope he takes after his dad.

[EndersDame]

30. what a cutie!

[bluesbassman]

33. Those of us with culture and taste love Beardies.

You a couple of great looking fellows. Meet The Beast.


BTW, welcome to The Lounge! :hi:

[SIMPLYB1980]

35. Looks like someone just woke up. So cute.

I would like to get a picture of the two together, but this summer I had Draco in the back yard and he killed an eat an Anole. I felt bad, but it's his nature. I'm scared he would eat Yoshie until he gets bigger. Even then I've heard males are territorial.

[bluesbassman]

36. Probably a good idea to keep them seperated.

At least until Yoshie gets big enough to protect himself.

[LynzM]

26. Welcome :)

Too silly for GD? :D

[EndersDame]

31. I post mainly in the Lounge now

less hostility (well there are wars on important topics like the best Star Trek) Nicer people (i am a nicer person in the lounge than GD anyway) and more laughs!
Also I would say it is a more supportive place. I have found comfort and information on my pets .
