Not much really. Although I'm tempted to say it means the sign of good

*grin* Okay, how did you come up with that name, does it mean something in
the UK or somewhere else?

My husband called it me once when we were having a joke about, and it stuck.

I was talking to someone about it the other day who said it reminded him of
the imaginery rabbit in the 1950 film Harvey who is a "Pooka" rabbit.

There is also a small Japanese girl called Pucca which might be relevant

I think it might just be made up though.

Same situation, except I don't always get to read them as much as I
want,
sometimes by the time I get on here, there are SO many posts, I can't
get
through them all! New job after several years of mostly unemployment
due
to downsizing is keeping me busy.

Carol, I'm sorry about your DS and his accident! I can vouch for the
Saturns though, I'm on my third Saturn now and wouldn't have anything
else.
My accident last year was in my Saturn sedan (slammed into very hard by
an
SUV while stopped at a light and pushed into another SUV), and while I
ended
up with a cracked vertebrae in my back, I did not have any other
injuries
(not even a visible bruise) and did not require any medical treatment
beyond
the Xrays and ibuprofen.

Not doing anywhere near as much knitting as I'd like to, but somehow I
have
still been able to shop a couple times when there is a sale. Too
many
WIPS and PIGS, and not enough FOs. One of these days I'll get settled
back
into a routine again.

Karen in MN


Hi Karen, congratulations and good luck with the new job. I hope the
storm
on Wednesday night didn't affect you.

Not *too* bad -- in our subdivision, we had one tree get pulled out, but it
was right next to a marsh, so that didn't surprise me. And one gutter
ripped off a garage roof. I was surprised there wasn't more damage, since,
less than five miles east, there were several homes that had their fences
completely blown down, and a lot of trees and tree branches down. It's like
it did a little skipping thing until it got further east. The tornado
warning for my area was issued very shortly after my power went out, so I
didn't know about it until the next day.

Oh, Carol, I'm sorry to hear about your son's car accident but I'm
relieved
he is alright. That is so scary! Is he okay with driving now? I think
if
I were ever in a bad accident it would take me a long time to work up the
nerve to get behind the wheel again.

LauraJ

Laura,
Thank you for the concern. He was a bit scared at first but now he is
just
very careful when making a left turn. (He was turning left on what he
thought was a green arrow and the guy in the truck was going straight
through). Pulling up to see the car totally wrecked at 11 pm and seeing
my
son standing there unhurt brought tears to my eyes.
Carol in TN



I can only imagine the emotion you must have felt. I am sooo glad to hear
that he is safe!

LauraJ

lol Thanks Katherine! Yeah, I've got a few wips and ufos! So far no lgms
though - little green men!... or women

Ooof! That pooka club URL was impossible to read for my screen reader -
the front page was a bunch of links not identified with text, which in
turn led to "refresh URL" links, which in turn led to more pages with
links not identified with text. After visiting three such links from the
first page, I closed my browser.

I've heard about that movie, the invisible white rabbit friend movie
definitely rings a bell! Video time...

Ah well. I only looked at the from page in Firefox, so that was probably
whay I didn't notice anything. Sorry about that. Did you get to see a
picture of her?

The idea of it reminds me of Donnie Darko. I haven't gotten around to seeing
Harvey yet though.

lol... a screen reader reads text on the computer screen for blind &
visually-impaired people, the only things I see now are what's in my head.

Sorry for confusion

Not sure what you mean Katherine *chuckle* Actually, lgm was coined forty
or fifty years ago for 'little green men', aliens from other worlds. I
guess the pre-cursors of today's 'greys', the aliens with large eyes as
portrayed in Close encounters of the Third Kind (a fabulous movie which I
highly enjoyed!).
