Here's an idea...

I just posted this notion to Blogitstaff, but I also want to run it by you, and see if anyone agrees with me that it's a good idea: I would like to give gift subscriptions-- perhaps read-only--to a number of people. One month samples, so to speak. Can I open accounts for others? Do we have a read-only option at all? What if you let us have a few free invites for maybe a more limited trial-read, to possibly boost membership? Maybe a two-week invite, with a 'coupon' for a discounted first-time,...

Movies! Your recommendations...?

pbitter brought up the subject of comedies... What are your favorite comedies? Are there some you can watch over and over again? Maybe it wasn't a comedy-genre movie, but just one with a lot of laughs... LAKE PLACID comes to mind as one of my favorites: technically, the genre might be monster-movie spoof, but it's spoofiness is intelligent and clever, and is not presented 'spoofily.' In fact, there is nothing like laughter to set in the hooks of a horror movie--One of the best ever for that is... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas Report

Christmas was quietly fine here--Yes, Offy, there was a GPS involved... My husband is frequently in unfamiliar cities for his fencing tournaments, and he can get lost going from one end of the house to the other... My far-flung family sent wonderful gifts, and there will be no returns, I think, this year. One of the best I got is an 11 volume set of Will and Ariel Durant's HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION.

This isn't Inchland-- It's Planet of the 70s!

My cousin sent me this blog item. Last weekend I found a JC Penney catalog from 1977. It's not often blog fodder just falls in my lap, but this was two solid inches of it, right there for the taking! I thumbed through it quickly and found my next dining room set, which is apparently made by adding upholstery to old barrels: Also, I am totally getting this for my bathroom: There's plenty more home furnishings where those came from, however I'm not going to bore you with that. Instead, I'm going... Sign in to see full entry.

A new Inchland coming!

For all you explorers of Inchland, there will soon be photos of a new region of the Inchland world: the land of Hole-in-the-Wall, and Goblin Valley, and the Cliff Dwellings of the Canyonlands... We are currently travelling Colorado and Utah, and these places, of course, have Inchlands within them... For seekers of Tolkien's Middle-earth, I am happy to tell you we have discovered the Trollshaws north of Rivendell, and will also have a few images to post upon getting from there, back again to our...

Tropical Inchland

Located in the stem of an Arabian Oil Palm. What looks like stone walls are really the remains of trimmed fronds. Sign in to see full entry.

In Inchland, the Fairies are the light hearts!

You will often find lanterns hung for their parties and dances, especially in the winter when everything else is grey and bleak. Sign in to see full entry.
