Lily Alexander

Yes. While going thru a divorce, I gave him EVERYTHING, just to get rid him in the fastest way I could.

Starting over isn't necessarily a bad thing. One of the best thing I ever did.

What is your favorite time of day?

My mate and I do a home haunt in Western NY. We build all our own props a majority of them being animated. My hubby does the mechanics, I handle the gore. Here are some pics of last year and also a 5 min video.

Sorry about the migraine. I get them also. I wonder of many years of my life have been wasted on headaches.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 books would you bring?

Also answering out of turn.

Aye, Ill drink to that.

I sent the recipe. Hope you like it.

Now back to the regularly scheduled program.

From the last post::

Half full

Unfortunately not. It has been a long day.

What personal achievement are you most proud of?

I have a great home-made hot cocoa recipe. email if interested.

When replacing a toilet paper roll, do you put it so that the loose end goes

over the top of the roll, or so that it goes down behind the roll?

Curl up on the couch with a good book or watch a movie.

Woke up way too early today. Wish I could take a nap.

Worst job you've ever had?

Coming from Rochester, NY, its been a very warm winter so far. Yesterday was around 50. Too bad it won't stay this way.

I've woken up to as many as 3 furry friends on the bed. 2 dogs, 1 cat.

Favorite thing to do in a storm?

Being new to the study of pyracy, I should probably just stay in my hiding hole, but since I just read this same subject matter in "Blackbeard" by Angus Konstam, 2006 pgs. 2-4. I'll give you his words.

"Who ever Captain Charles Johnson was, he was certainly an experienced seaman. His description of how sailing ships of the time operated and how they performed, and of what conditions on board were like, all suggest that the author was not only well versed in seafaring, but that he also spoke with some authority. He also described sea battles like a grizzled vetran. This alone precludes Daniel Defoe, who, although he was well traveled, was no professional seaman". p3

Climbing back into my hiding hole to read as much as I can. Someday I'll be able to give you my own opinion.

Liquor, especially Tequila and Rum.

I wish someone else would eat these left over pies.

How many pets do you have?

Thank you for the links and info. They are wonderful resources.

My next question is, considering the width of exposure from so many different cultures, aside from the English influence, are there any other documented dances from other cultures? For example, Carribean, Spanish, Italian, etc.

As I've been reading all the different topics on historical accuracy in clothing, weapons, music, etc., a subject that is very dear to me seems to be missing. I'm familiar with all the dance forms of the era (Pavane, Galliard, Minuet, Contra-Dances.......), however I'm wondering if there are any specific dances that would be appropraite for a GAoP reenactment. Besides the timeless grab & grop.

If anyone has any research or insight on where I can find more information, I'd appreciate it.

Patrick,

As a new member, I am very grateful for the work you put into compiling this list. It may take me until PIP to get thru it all but so far Im finding it extremely helpful. Thank you.

Hello mates. I was visiting Key West a few days ago and met a charming Captain Spike from the museum that referred me to these here quarters. Unfortunately, I missed PIP by 2 days.

As I understand it, the first round is on me. May your glasses never empty. Cheers.
