LOL.... I missed out on the elegance and I certainly don't look androgynous but WOW ...... where do I get my pointy ears?

Yep, Lyta is now a regional bakery-manager for a large chain; tall, sizeable and dark, with goofy black glasses, short tousled dark hair, a goofy sense of humor and a deep abiding loyalty to Buddy Holly. But boy, can she wail on that Gibson. There she goes, burning up the fretboard again! Go, Lyta, go!

I think the only way I could burn up a fretboard is by setting it on fire...literally. Actually, in my former life I was a Beatlemaniac and attempted to burn up a keyboard, mostly with Beethoven...hmmm....dark, tousled hair...that's it! I'm Beethoven! (NOT the dog!) And I have the hearing impairment to go with it! Can't play nearly as well, though...and the bakery manager thing is right out! I'd eat the profits! (I did mention I am a hobbit, right?)

You dissected a cat? I now have this tremendous urge to go home again and protectively cuddle my feline children! *very disturbed*

Sorry, Lalwendë, but, yes, I really dissected a cat. But it was 1984; the statute of limitations has long run out! *convinces self dubiously* And it was long dead before it got to me! Plus, I figure some of the folks who end up wielding the scalpel in Biology class will end up as veterinarians to treat the cats, dogs, horses and rats of the world! (Yes, I include rats because I have nine of them, and they are horribly cute! Don't send your cats after them, please now, Lalwendë!)

Well, you didn't naysay the dresses, Mithalwen; perhaps you are now our official Barrow Downs Wearer of the Pink Frilly Dresses! If you ever wear dresses, you're more qualified than me!

Also, lately I couldn't help but notice the short, playful and almost Zenlike posts appearing all over from mark12_30, who, I think, has taken the art of brevity and peeled it off nicely from its stigma of taciturnity. So now I see her with dancing blue eyes that never miss anything! She's the Zen master but also the Laughing Buddha...with hobbit feet. I can't forget to mention that!

Cheers!
Lyta (who doesn't currently wear ANY glasses unless absolutely necessary, i.e., twice a year or so. Is there a group for hard of hearing hobbits? I don't think I qualify as a nearsighted elf!)

P.S. A late entry...I think elronds_daughter may be our frilly pink dress wearer! Congratulations!

The only dresses I wear regularly are very simple and usually black. I do have a pink dress but it is raspberry pink and not a frill to be seen - just the simplest shift - not even a button or zip. Due the climate hereI have worn it about once....

That's scarily accurate! And the other one is fluffy! You must have seen a picture of me and spotted all the cat hair and thence deduced the nature of the wee felines! If I was more Elven then I might be able to pass off the cat hair as something magical but alas it gets everywhere and I just look like an old mad scruffy Hobbit

Well...actually I haven't seen a picture of you. Basically, I figured that someone of your essence would have to have cats like that.

Ah, they have no knowledge of rats or mice or birds, being indoor animals, but they have a keen taste for the culinary delights of spider sushi.

Same here with my cat, except she is an outdoor type, but is too lazy to hunt birds or mice. (Though she has caught one in recent months.) Usually she'll settle for the cat food, cookies (preferably snickerdoodle), bugs, or on a ocasion a garter snake. (She refuses to eat em, and just leaves them as a gift.) I wonder how she would have faired against the likes of Shelob?

Poor children of Arachne!

I really don't have much room to speak though, my cats also consume this delicacy... But, I do have to go in favor of the spiders. They are a great help when keeping the flies at bay.

Speaknig of indoors, do your cats like sow bugs? Either that or mine are wierd...
