Ladies and gentleman....

....someone asked a question on another thread about KNOWFLAKES....and while it was answered, along with additional information concering the origins of LINDALAND I thought it would be nice to give it a whole new thread, just in case anyone missed it.....all about where KNOWFLAKES & LINDALAND came from....

*The following was taken from another thread*

From LBM.....

Hello. I originally posted on the "official" LG site many moons ago when it first opened its doors and a member there named Shagun coined the term. Since then, it's really flown!! So happy to see.

LMB....what an excellent memory!!! I was about to post the same thing....I remember her well....(being there orginally, too, at the first Linda Goodman Website)....
Shagunj was a real bubbly gal with tons of enthusiasm, and I remember being fascinated that she was all the way from India, with such a mastery of the English language......I missed her when I didn't see her on the forums, anymore....*sigh* I believe she was graduating from Unversity at that time...

Great memory!!!Thanks for the trek down Memory Lane...

Luv,
Rainbow~

And now folks, are you ready for this????

Do you know where LINDA LAND originally came from????

From me.............when I wrote a poem and posted it on Greg and Crystal's original site...........

Prior to this, no reference was ever made to either site, as LINDA LAND (of course, Randall's site did not exist at that time)

I am posting the poem now....from the original site......and..as with the term KNOWFLAKE, I also had no idea how my LINDA LAND would soar, when I wrote the poem, three years ago......

Here it is.....

Well, I've taken the liberty of starting a new poets thread, as it looked like the last one was pretty full.......
Trying my hand again......

LINDA LAND

Linda Goodman was my friend
She shared an awful lot
So on the net, I got one day
A place for her I sought
And much to my extreme delight
Click! and there it was!
A Linda Land all shiny bright
with Knowflakes all abuzz..

The best knowflakes in all the world
This filled my heart with happy
To meet such kind and loving souls
Was joyous for this Cappy
Such talent, depth, and wisdom
Was there - beyond compare!
I found a home in Linda Land
With magic oh so rare

With Crystal, Greg and Fire Song
Behind the elfdom scenes
how could it help but burst with love
Amazing! by all means
There's Essence, Gali, druid
All precious pals of mine
Michael, Robert, Shagun
More elves who are so fine

There's Annie and our seamistress
who hales from way down under
Carlo, sprite and Stella
More folks to give us wonder
There's Purple Peace,
Hach and Kate
Olinda, Kelly Anne
Such knowing Knowflakes gathered here
In lovely Linda Land..

We can't forget Victoria
Who brought us Liliana
We're seeding minds of those so young
Like Nicholas and Tianna
We have a risingscorpio
Silver and Jovette,
Laura Mc and Holly
Still more Knowflakes yet

There's new ones too
Like maybe you
Greywolf and seasfor
We welcome them with open arms
As those who came before
And there are elves
Who seldom post
But they are Knowflakes too
Karita, Dolphin, Lindy
Lisandra, Rose, and you
Exotic names like Phoenix
And a Rain Bunny's here
Maggie, Wise Soul, Write On
They all bring us cheer

There's many more like Karen
and initials KJS
Darby, feeling, sara,
to bring us happiness
I hope I've overlooked no one
For that I'd never do
If you don't see your name here,
Know you're included too,

All happy here in Linda Land,
Each with multi colored hue
I love you precious Knowflakes
you're each uniquely you....

Love & Peace,
Rainbow~

My screen name here is SnowWhite. It cannot be that hard to type out as everyone else who posts to me manages to do it.

"One of the girls" would imply that you were one of our friends, which you a.) aren't and b.) don't want to be. My friends call me by my name, not a lame little nickname. Bernsie is called Bernsie *only* because that is her EZBoard screen name, something you'd know if you had ever bothered to look at the links we posted for you. Of course you didn't do that because that would have proven that we were right and you were wrong.

Now then go ahead and keep on with your cloying *giggles* and cutesy nicknames if you enjoy looking ridiculous.

Have a lovely evening. I will.

Hi Rainbow. I see you are from Michigan to. So am I. I really like your Lindaland poem. The pictures you have in your message are nice to. the fairy is so pretty. the picture of Linda Goodman is very beautiful. I am glad I came across this message.

I am now reading sun signs and it is really a big book. I usual don't do a lot of reading but I want to know more about astrology. I guess there are a lot of other books that Linda Goodman wrote that I haven't read.

I'm not sure if Kian will be online tonight but she's an Aquarius. If she feels better she might be on to say hi to you herself.
