PREPARATION

1. 1. Drain the clam juice from the minced clams and combine with enough bottled juice to equal 3 cups of liquid.
   2. Cook the bacon slowly in a soup pot over medium heat until lightly crisp, about 8 minutes.
   3. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 2-3 minutes.
   4. Whisk in the clam juice, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The liquid should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thick, add more clam juice to adjust the consistency. Add the bay leaf and fresh thyme.
   5. Add the potatoes and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
   6. Meanwhile, place the clams and cream in saucepan and simmer together until the clams are cooked, about 5-8 minutes.
   7. When the potatoes are tender, add the clams and cream to the soup base. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
   8. Stir in the sherry. Season to taste with salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Serve in bowls with the crackers on the side.

Avicii - Hey Brother song words A must read

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover
Hey sister! Know the water's sweet but blood is thicker
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! Do you still believe in one another?
Hey sister! Do you still believe in love? I wonder
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

What if I'm far from home?
Oh brother, I will hear you call!
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you hang on!
Oh, if the sky comes falling down, for you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

Hey brother! There's an endless road to rediscover

Oh brother, I will hear you call!
What if I lose it all?
Oh sister, I will help you hang on!

My Dam and Sire

                                                                 My Dam and Sire
This is the unicorn who was always there for me in bad times and good times. On my journey through life back home and here. Was always there when i needed her. Even if she apart of another both havn't merged fully yet. So thus far me and qu have two dams. Both love us dearly. Plus all my other grand dams and sires who are awesome. My Sire from back home has always watched over me and cared for me as any could ever ask. My grand Dam Illiane'thi is a major part of my life here she has given me hope and peace. She is like third dam to me. Even if my earthly dam can't speak with me all the time i do know she love qu and me dearly. Its just that i've always had constant contact with my dam. Just to say Hello to her once in awhile is hard cause she just seems to ignore us to some extent. I know she doesn't do it intentionally. But if she wants to have a better relationship with qu and i she just to be around more if she can. Even a hi or hello would be fine. Great mother is mother of all of us ,but with she and i have always had a closer relationship.Mother always watches over all of us and will respond to us if we call out to her. We are her children.

Message from Gm" Greetings all I have to say I'm really happy to be here. I'm always watching and always willing to help any of my children out. If you need me call out to me please I know there some of you in dire straights. Please i beg you please call out to me. It pains my heart to see so many of my children fighting amongst themselves."

Always be yourself

A message to humans. Always be yourself. Never give up on being you even when others want you to be something else. Never lose yourself
“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.” 
― Jim Morrison
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” 
― Max Ehrmann, Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life
“‎Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, cuz we were born this way bitch!” 
― Lady Gaga
“You cannot change what you are, only what you do.” 
― Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass
“The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.” 
― Leo Buscaglia

Déjà vu

Been having alot of this some I've been able to act and others i've just been noticing. Like my journeys end is coming on this world. All these were dreamt of last year before i even met Zami or the others. I saw Zami in dream.Hok wrote it off but i seemed to know differently. Just as i know we all are coming to our own journey's end. It just depends on the time. We all will go home to the land of endless fields and forests.

My Journey Home by Kimberley Brunette

Ever since day one. 
I was making my journey home. 
And what a journey it has been. 
First of all,as soon as I came out,of my mother's womb. 
I was spanked by the doctor. 
Talk about hard times. 
Then they made me cry. 
I guess that's what they call music to your ears. 
Right. 
But for me I don't  remember,so I don't really care. 
But what I do know. 
That I still continue on my journey. 
And when it's time to go home. 
God will call me. 
But for now,I will continue on. 
Doing what I love to do. 
I guess it's like following a dream. 
On what I was set out to do,in the first place. 
On my journey home.  

Dream

Well it all started off with me and qu being in a city that we have never been in. We were with remote control tank

though it looked more like box. The city itself looked more like a city somewhere in europe. The city itself felt

really old.Ok back to events we playing when over head i saw what looked like a an outline of a 747 and then it

disappeared. Both qu and i had bikes but som how mine ended being stolen or thought it was so in our search we came

across these people but they seemed different. They weren't human.It seemed as if they were elves and our guide had

led us to them. Both qu and i were in human form. One of the elf said " There is something different about you> And

another said "They are otherkin". I responded by saying no we are unicorn". That when things changed . Everyone's

eyes went wide and the elf with blond hair said we had to speak with Ayaria. She seemed to think it was very

important.Me and qu fond ourselves in a palace

About humans

most centaurs i know would find the idea of a human riding them to be insulting

I would find a human riding a unicorn to be a bit insulting, if they are your mate then sure but otherwise 'bleh!!'

as would i. i would never let a human ride me.

but when most foolish humans think you are a dumb animal it opens all kinds of bad things.

aye your right there

Now the humans are on the path of opening doors to other worlds and may put our families in danger one day.

aye, it is something that concerns me greatly as of late

I agree

wonder what will happen when they find our home. I do know they tried to exploit us as a resource.

they have no chance in hell of doing that, we wont let that happen!

I know that but i have sons and daughters out there who are half unicorn that could also be in danger. Humans will only see endless energy to be taken.

i don't mean to sound so negative about humans but they are just so greedy.

but you speak truth, they are extreamly greedy

way back when hok had said we were here to save humanity but i think that was all a lie or story he was telling everyone.

humanity is like cancer on this world. They are destroying it,exploiting it. What happens when there are no more resources left to take. They would have to open new way either space or opening up door ways to other realities. For all we know they already are. Man i wish i was wrong about them.

there was a time when humans were more peaceful than they are today, i believe that they have a chance, to some extent Hok had a point on helping humans find their light, that was one bit of truth he said.

True but the sad part is look at their history. Its the thing over and over again. Grand dam human history is all the same wars over almost everything, exploiting resources, greed and murder. The players change but it still the same thing over and over again.

way back it would be kings and emperors who saw something they wanted and they took it by force or through lies.

aye you are right there -sighs-

Humans were never a peaceful people their history proves that. Even the native americans were at war with each other or they wouldn't have had warriors to fight each other

*sighs* I don't want to be right but the facts are there for all to see.

i still prefer the native americans to modern humans -grumbles-

true but some were far more bloodier than most in fact the amyans and incas were cruel beyond even what the europeans did

cutting the still beating hearts of thier enemies out and they were supposed to be advanced peoples.

-nods- i remember some of that. no species is completely perfect. I dont think that any species will be

true but humans are far more savage than unicorns or any other race has been. They know war and winning it is how they get what they want.

They compare any other race to themselves. What would they do if they came across another civilization who was more primitive them them. They think aliens would exploit them and take their resources. Many other races arn't anything like humans though admittedly there are few that are very war like .

-nods- i have no idea about humans in general, its a concern that they choose to act the way they do

its not about choosing it just they way they are. The history of any race shows what kind of people they and thier culture in which thier children grow up in

I'm saying all humans are bad. I'm saying thier culture is one towards violence and war.

oops not saying all humans are bad typo there

-nods-

i think we didn't research their history cause it would have given us insight into thier way of thinking.

your right there, -frowns-

like how humans say centaurs are violent which they are not they only took up arms as humans were encroaching on their lands intent on taking them for themselves. In the end they had flee. Humans had better arms and armour. This is the people who we want to save.

gm said that she was the one who opened up many of the portals in which many of these races fled. This was once our world, our home. Look at what they have done to her .....*sighs*

The sad thing is we created a land the mimics our old home of what we lost. The reason we had to flee are very same people we are trying to help. It makes no sense. Other races would think we are nuts to try to help them. When given another chance they do it all over again.

centaurs are peaceful to some extent from what i have seen before all of this, they did what had to be done at the time. GM did what she thought was right in the begining. i do not blame her at all x

true i just had to explain to my yougest daughter that this world that we now inhabit used to belong to all races and now it belongs to the humans who do not play well with others.

-nods- what does she think of all this?

my extended family i was made part of thier clan and they are very peaceful people only when push comes to shove. Daily life is centered around the family and they live in villages and not out in the open as humans would have you believe. When we get you should try it out. You might like it.

Just like i've been a dwarf for a few centuries. I love thier culture and wow they can tell stories like none other. Living as one them is where i learned how to fight. They are very hearty people. So full of life. Never a dull day around the dwarves.

i do not think that u have ever met the dwafs but i know of their craftmanship

the best way to explore is to be them even when your true self is a unicorn

oh have met the dwaves

why do you doubt me hmmmmm
