Medusa's Quesion du jour (the year of the horse edition!)
What's the best holiday gift you received as a child?
I guess my blue Huffy bike, 49 years ago today. It's not so much the bike, it's the memory of my father asking "Want to pedal"?" and lifting the bike, with me on it, pedaling furiously, up off the ground!

I still remember getting the first Harry Potter book, I was so disappointed (I was a bit yong to read it myself ) so my dad read it to me, that's what sparked my love for reading .

The one I remember the most was a stuffed animal set: a mama raccoon with a baby held in her arms (they were Velcro, so you could open her arms and take the baby out). The mama is long gone, but the baby was my favorite stuffed animal as a kid, and I still have it. He's pretty rough now--missing an eye, a nose, and the fur around his nose--but I still love him.
Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
Finding lost things that aren't mine. This also applies to not being able to being able to find something on the internet. Only for someone else, though. Doesn't work for me.
Let's see.
~I can tame wild alley cats. Have been able to since I was a child.
~I can sign language the alphabet to at least sign some words out if need be.
~I can moonwalk. Though it looks more like Mars walking by now
A less commonly known one is that I know a little sleight of hand when it comes to playing cards.
life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
I sometimes see thing that aren't there. not being smart. my friend one time was playing with what she later told me was a ball of energy. the other two people in the room thought I was crazy when i told her to quit playing with it.

Probably the nutcrackers we received each year. My sister and I used to dance in ballet and each year we would dance in The Nutcracker. We were obsessed with getting nutcrackers.

Actually,I used to be quite good at slight of hand with cards. studied from a book by a card magician and did the "In front of a mirror thing" also got very good with manipulating the deck(That takes a LOT of time and effort to get good at) But these days my hands are not all that nimble anymore. The book was by a magician and ex chard cheat out of Vegas BTW.
I got accused of cheating at cards because I did a flourish(making cards fly from one hand to the other) though I never cheated at cards ever. Could deal from the bottom,and move a card from the top to the bottom with one hand. I just liked the magic part,never the card cheat part.
