Hi Eldy! I still haven't been able to get back into Hurdle due to something blocking it. I've tried to disable but.. it must be something other than the usual culprit. :P

Inanna.. I heard you NY got snow! :)

No, though I mostly hold myself to those rules. I just got into one of those ruts were there were four different choices of words with those four letters in those places and I chose the wrong three. It's good for me. Keeps me in my place.

LOL

I'm reminded of an old Rod Serling Night Gallery' episode "Hells Bells' starring John Astin, based on a short story by Harry Turner. Astin is a ne'er do well hippie/biker who dies but hell it isn't what he expects. He finds himself in a small, tidy, 'fusty' middle class living room with an older couple who have him as a captive audience to show all their home movies & listen to their stories.. for eternity. Turns out heaven & hell are the same place; what is hell to one is heaven to another.
