I'm always looking something up for one reason or another. Yesterday's links were provided courtesy of my daughter's English assignment. She decided she wanted to do a research paper on ghosts of Europe.

I just hope these links can be useful to somebody some time.

Thank you shrug, this is invaluable info! kimmi

Does anyone know if this site is reliable?
I've used it religiously in the past and the information seems correct, but some species of monsters listed have not been listed in professional "beastiaries".
Just wondering how closely I should hug this pillow to my chest.

Well you better bookmark it because I doubt if I can get us back!

Bringing this up again...

Thanks for raising the flag again. This had not come to my attention before.

Since this has evolved into research, inspiration and relaxation, here is one of my favorite sites. It is the live beach cam from Wrightsville Beach, NC.

BEACH LIVE

I just watch the waves (double click it to go full screen) while I think. Occasionally you will see a passerby. If weather is bad or if it is dark on the east coast you will likely find it down temporarily.

ETA: Give it time to stream. It can take a while.

Bringing up to look for some Govt. data
Thanks Shrug.

Well..what the? Where are all the posts by Shrug with all her links...anybody know?
Where's Shrug?
