How did you get that old HoP picture? I don't even think you were born when it was made back in 'the olden days'...

I'm assuming you mean the Avatar? I'm MUCH older than everyone thinks I am. Didn't you know that I was running around with you guys back in the dinosaur days? (Yes Charles, I'm call you old. After all you remember 'the olden days')

Hey Gidg,
Have you thought about a recovery campaign? You could draw a pic of yourself with a pair of fuzzy poi hanging down, and put it up on a flyer around your area.
"HAVE YOU SEEN MY FUZZY POI?...... IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO? WITHOUT THEM I CAN"T SWING LIKE I USED TO!!!"

I can just hear the laughter around the apartment complex. I can also hear the lewed comments. No thanks! I think I'll just make another pair. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

My life boring? How I wish! ... OK not really, but it wouldn't be so hectic.
Found some great furs for fuzzy poi that I just had to buy. I'm going from zero fuzzy poi to five sets!!! But you should see the colors ... there great!
I even found the fir for my original fuzzy poi, which is really unusual because I bought the material three years ago. Patterns normally don't stick around that long.

Pics soon?
Now...about the 'olden days' thing...
I see your member number as 4446.
Patricks as 2808.
Mine an embarassing 356.
Lets see 2808/4446 = .63 - Homeofpoi has gone through roughly 40% more members since Patrick registered than since you did...
Now for the scary bit, 356/4446 = 0.08
I've been around roughly ..aaahh,, oh too embarassing to say really...
(hows that for silyl way of proving nothing)

Charles, it proves that you have been around longer that dirt! Or at least HoP dirt.
And don't even THINK about calculating my number to the last person who just registered a second ago!For pictures? As soon as I get them made I'll post them. It should be interesting because I've found my original neon leapord print with a short pile. The others are long haired, dark purple, lime green with a little darker accents and then a light purple with pink accents. I still have enough fir to make a gremlin or two. Now all I have to do is figure out which one I want to make first.
Infact I just might make some coveres for my staffs. It's not like I don't have enough material.

I've got some new computer toys. Wireless keyboard and mouse. It's fun because I got a split keyboard, I'm use to it from work.
Grandpa's 90th was this weekend. Saw a lot of family that I haven't seen in a couple of years and even met, for the first time, my Grandpa's sister Bev. She's a hoot.
What's happening with you?

How very cool!!!...What kind of sharks were they???...they look like Whites...but kinda hard to tell...and I think most of the time that the one's that most places have that allow you to swim with them have Nurse sharks...but they look too bullet-nosed to be Nurse sharks...!!! Look to me to be either Whites or Makos!!!
I love sharks, btw...been fascinated with them my whole life!!! Wanted to be a Marine Biologist and study the Great Barrier Reef and the Great Whites, in particular when I was younger...but things didn't go quite as I had hoped...*sigh*...do they ever???

You're right, I wouldn't have turned it down.
Bek, things never go as we hope. If they did I would be a forest ranger and not on a computer.

I have a friend here that wanted to do the same...and instead she ended up with four kids and works in a grocery store...so I guess it could be worse!!!

The only reason I didn't become one was because I developed allergies to several different tree polin.

Those were three grey nurse sharks. One of them has an off kilter jaw from having it broken by a grappling hook and it not healing properly.
It was amazing. There were stingrays, loggerhead turtles, Port Moresby sharks.....

Poor thing...such magnificent creatures...makes me wanna grapple someone with a hook!!!

Thanks for asking.
