Uhmm… you’re a wee bit late. That was solved four pages ago. The question right now is:

What keeps earthpuppy’s puppy company while she’s not home?

We’re waiting for hints.

Floored because of the content of my posts? Or floored because you didn’t find it after all that searching?

Actually, both. 😉

It’s kinda cool doing these searches cause you learn a lot about people and still don’t have a clue who they are. You sound very very cool.

Thanks for the complement. I often wish I could attend a dopefest to meet some of the folks I converse with here on a regular basis…alas–they’re all over the place and it’s doubtful I’ll ever meet them IRL.

But then again, it’s kinda scary to think about actually meeting them! :eek:

You’re welcome to try the new question, I’ve scanned every post earthpuppy has that appears on search in sdmb and I have found nothing. Except that she’s cool. I’m going back to feeling sorry for my flu-ridden self.

[Here’s](http://www.harley-davidson.com/PR/MOT/2003/03_model_styling.asp?locale=en_US&bmLocale=en_US&family=Softail&model=FLSTC&modelSection=styling&market=US) what it looks like. 🆒

**missing\_link** is up. He got the Gary Glitter question correct. If he’s not available, do you think **Chavardz** can ask the next one since he got the bonus question right?

And this is what my setter looks like. Amazingly, this drawing really DOES look like him, expression and all.

Sorry it took me so long, didn’t have time till now to check up.  
Well, here we go. It is again a bit heavy on the architectural side. But I think you’ll manage. Of course I’ll be dropping some hints from time to time.

So, what is across the street from this house (pic at [http://n.ethz.ch/student/schmdavi/download/house.jpg](http://n.ethz.ch/student/schmdavi/download/house.jpg) )

Looks strange, doesn’t it. It used to be a living house but now it houses a museum with paintings and furniture by the architect who designed the house.
