Happy to have you back, **Skald**. \*No laughter was heard in the creation of this post. ---

I want \*\*Skald \*\*to know I’ve found something more dangerous than killer bees. If you don’t live under a rock you’ve heard of the movie _Frozen_. It is extremely popular with little girls. Now, imagine, at the public library, a _Frozen_ party held for little girls. Come in costume, sing along while watching the movie. Good so far, right? Then imagine that about two-thirds of the way through the movie the DVD projector stops working. A break is taken, kids are called back, Except the problem hasn’t been fixed for long. Party is over. Imagine the _ **mood** _ of those little girls. Sad to say the above scenario is not hypothetical. Killer bees aren’t in it. ---

Perfect! By not seeing this thread until just now, I learned that **Skald** was in the hospital (Oh no!) and already home again (Hooray!) all at once, which was very efficient of me and saved me much fretting. Go me! Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery, **Skald**! Were you aware that the reprobates in this thread have been making fish puns? ---
