rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thedragonweyr - We have cats, we have always had cats, and can't imagine ever not having cats. And they are, for the most part, entirely indoor cats. Even if traffic is not a hazard at The Weyr, foxes, haws, owls, and wild dogs certainly are, not to mention the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thedragonweyr - A few weeks ago I received a white and blue sponge from Hass MS&L, the public relations firm that handles Procter and Gamble. It came in a plain white envelope with pretty basic instructions: wet, wipe gently, dirt gone. Well, Mama Dragon didn’t...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author thedragonweyr -

Thu, 15 May 2003 21:59:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thedragonweyr - Here at the Weyr we take our gardening seriously.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author thedragonweyr - We Dragons tend not to use very much makeup; a little lip gloss, a light burnishing of the scales with some moisturizer, and a few coats of mascara and we are good to go.
