Hi Everyone!

Welcome hope you enjoy being here

 

[Alora Sionn]

Welcome! Hey what part of VA? I'm from Northern VA myself Thats so cool about going for being a prof If you are looking for some good books to read I recommend anything from terry Pratchett if you haven't already read them, he is amazing

 

[Carika Ambray]

Welcome :joy I have read the first 5 books of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, they are very good. I had to stop for the moment because they are on my sisters kindle and she stole it back *sigh* I have since however started the WoT series again and forgot how awesome it is!!

 

[Leira Galene]

Alora, I live in Charlottesville. I love Terry Pratchett! And I have heard good things about Terry Goodkind as well.

 

[Alora Sionn]

Cool I'm in Manassas, but I have a friend in Charlottesville, its really nice down there!

 

[Dars al'Kaskade]

Welcome, Lyra. I am still working through the books myself, very much a latecomer.

Studying Venus sounds extremely awesome.

 

[Leira Galene]

Hey guys, another question, do you all know if this picture is in use as someone's avatar? It's a painting of Venus Yeah, I might possibly have a favorite planet. Maybe. Anyway, advice is appreciated.

 

[Alora Sionn]

I haven't seen it on anyone yet Its really pretty!

 

[Dravid ter'Mand]

I have not seen it either. I can resize it for you as well if you wish.

That being said... Welcome :joy

 

[Carika Ambray]

I don't know a planet/science/space person? Wow!!

 

[Marivea al'Corriyi]

Botticelli's Mars and Venus painting! The full size amuses me.

Spoiler

 

[Dars al'Kaskade]

Venus comes out of that painting looking better than Mars.

 

[Carika Ambray]

Venus is the brightest 'star' in the sky right?

 

[Leira Galene]

Yup! Venus is the second-brightest object at night, after the Moon, obviously. Also, I have always found the full painting to be amusing as well
Dravid, could you resize it for me? I could probably figure it out but I'm a bit swamped right now. Thanks so much for offering. You guys rock.

 

[Dravid ter'Mand]

Alright. Ive got 2 versions from the original painting. Let me know if you want me to piddle around with it a bit more.

 

[Jahily al'Karee]

[Leira Galene]

Dravid, you are seriously the best. Thank you so much!

 

[Leira Galene]

Woohoo! My name has been changed! I'm now Leira, as you can see.

 

[Marivea al'Corriyi]

Well helloooo there Leira! It's a pretty name, too.

 

[Leira Galene]

Why thank you, Marivea Sedai.
