It was Rod Sterling's "The Twilight Zone" followed by TV's "The Outer Limits". <br />The wonderful thing about Sci-Fi is that it is far more than Science Fiction there's a fine line where it ventures into fantasy fiction such as:<br />Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbits"<br />Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", and "Through the Looking Glass"<br />and even J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter"<br />I guess that's why I'm hooked on science fiction, because it is filled with such imagination and possibilities.<br />Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-88175517316519185352017-04-14T17:30:02.000-04:002017-04-14T17:30:02.000-04:00I've tried to get into sci fi but Lost in Spac...I've tried to get into sci fi but Lost in Space is about it for me! lolJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-28660953286081727122017-03-22T09:15:41.696-04:002017-03-22T09:15:41.696-04:00Thank you for stopping by my blog, I have been abs...Thank you for stopping by my blog, I have been absent for so long that I was sure everybody had pretty much given up on me. :D<br />I agree with you that if you have a product you are very happy with, it is best to stick with it.<br />Lately I've been tempted to try making my own mascara as the store bought variety has tiny fibers in it that make the lashes look longer and thicker, these tiny fibers constantly flake off, getting into my eyes and it's most irritating - not to mention uncomfortable. Unfortunately the list of ingredients for making mascara is complex and when purchased would probably make enough mascara to supply a small city !

I have found a very good locally produced face washing gel that cleans well my make up and doesn't dehydrate my skin, so I'll stick to it but I could try the coconut to see how it works. And I never use water resistant mascara. bairozanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480725582668681075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-14433530984749228152017-03-20T17:23:34.206-04:002017-03-20T17:23:34.206-04:00JoJo - I know I've been away from blogging for...JoJo - I know I've been away from blogging for ages so I truly appreciate your stopping by and leaving a comment.

We both looked up, the dog started barking, but did not know at what! We both kept staring that direction! There was an unmistakable<br />shreik, and I had no idea what to expect! So I kept calm, and tried to again clip the dog, when quietly, a snake came crawling along the doorway edge, curling itself! It stared at us, and I stared back, but the dog did not see it. So I quickly got up and put the dog in the bathroom and closed the door! The snake headed back for the front door, where it had obviously slipped under in the first place, so I ran and opened it, hoping it would exit! But, no! It coiled behind the door and we stared at each other again, as I called the police, and they said they would come try to remove it. Next the snake turned tail and headed into the second bedroom, ran along the edge of the bed, and, much to my chagrin, disappeared from view! A few minutes later the police arrived. They tore the room and bed apart, and two closets. In the process, we heard the snake shreik again, but it was no where to be seen! I do not know where it went! I could not sleep last night! At work I went on the internet and identified the snake as a western black snake, and learned from this experience they hunt mice, etc., but do scream, just before they appear!

You could use them to make a Conversation Jar! You write down questions on the back of the cards and stuff them into a jar. The next time you are at a party or at a dinner and the conversation lulls, you pull out the jar. The jar is as fun as you make it. You can talk about politics or work... Or you can talk about your team for the zombie apocalypse, or what kind of animal you would create if you were God, or what movie you would most love to act in. disathairnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028772851916410917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-45705923776887155232016-07-23T21:40:45.142-04:002016-07-23T21:40:45.142-04:00This story reminded me of how I finally healed my ...This story reminded me of how I finally healed my vertigo and dizziness after years of agony. <br /> <br />My life used to be miserable. I had balance problems, trouble walking and standing, spinning sensations, and many other symptoms that drained the joy from my days. <br /> <br />When I first started experiencing vertigo symptoms, I felt dizzy once in a while. But the vertigo progressed rapidly and soon I felt like my head was spinning inside a washing machine. <br /> <br />Even worse, my vertigo episodes often happened when I was out in public. I got tired of my friends asking, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" People would stare at me as if I was drunk! <br /> <br />Doctors only wanted to prescribe drugs, which made me sleepy and groggy. They told me there was no other solution for my vertigo. <br /> <br />I knew that there had to be another way. I searched long and hard and finally came across some simple natural remedies that finally made my embarrassing vertigo disappear for good...to the amazement of my doctor. <br /> <br />In fact, you might want to check out this article, it really helped me a lot: <br /> <br />http://www.journalofnaturalhealth.com/vertigo <br /> <br />Hope it helps anyone reading this! <br /><br />Name: Leslie Brown <br />Email: lesliebrown1a@mail.com <br />URL: http://www.bestquicktips.com/cpcexam <br />Leslie Brownhttp://www.bestquicktips.com/cpcexamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5792410363486054662.post-46983954524642462512016-05-23T17:34:00.268-04:002016-05-23T17:34:00.268-04:00I agree, black snakes do indeed scream, almost sou...I agree, black snakes do indeed scream, almost sounds like they try luring frogs and mice in for the kill.
