How It All Started
Even the most avid fan needs a road map to the X-Files (I know I do!).I have been a fan since the very first episode and I own all the episode guides, all seasons on video tape, all seasons on DVD and various other books and magazines....so, it is safe to say that I like the X-Files.This is definitely a book for the X-Files fan!It has all of season 1 and 2 with a detailed synopsis for each episode...including important dialogue quotes.It has great photographs also to accompany the stories.You could easily understand what's going on just from reading this book....it's also good as reference when something happens in later episodes that you didn't understand, to go back and find out who, why and what.

It also has all of the awards the show had won during those seasons.Well worth the money and makes a good collectible item!

A LOVING MEMORY OF A YOUNGER SISTER
I loved this book, and was really touched by it. It tells the story of Sadie's younger sister Bessie who died at 104, and it explains all the flowers in Bessie's garden which she loved. I thought that the story was moving and spiritual. It makes you think that life should not be wasted, and to live it to the fullest. I think that this book would be loved by young, and old alike. Garden lovers would especially enjoy this. Sadie had such wonderful memories of her sister, and she talks about her family as well as everyday life in a year since she lost Bessie. A BEAUTIFUL, MOVING BOOK.

Strength and courage through divorce process
I knew of the Delany sisters from a 60 minutes segment after the first book.In 1998, while starting through the divorce process that seemed so daunting after a quarter century of marriage, I found Sadie's book.I read and reread this book and was always helped with the grief and feelings of being overwhelmed by having to create a life on my own.I figured if Sadie could do it at 107, I could do it at 50.The thought of her having to learn to fix her own hair by herself at that age was such a specific challenge that helped me put my own challenges in perspective.As I read her progress through the grieving process, I made my own progress as well.As I look back on those times 10 yrs. later, I can see this book was one of the most valuable tools I used to not only survive, but to thrive and grow in so many ways.On My Own at 107: Reflections on Life Without Bessie

A lonely year
Sadie and Bessie Delany lived together for over 100 years before Bessie died at the age of 104 in the home that the two sisters shared.They were well-educated African-American women in an era when few blacks or women attended college.Sadie was a teacher and Bessie worked as a dentist.The sisters were devoted to each other and Bessie's death was a severe blow to her older sister.

The original story about the sisters is told in "Having Our Say".This book by Sadie chronicles her experiences in learning to live without her sister in the difficult first year after Bessie's death.Sadie's faith, common sense, love, and wisdom come shining through in this little book.

Circle of Seasons
Grief is pictured beautifully here as "Sadie" describes her first year after the death of her beloved sister with reference to the beautiful flowers Bessie always raised. The fall and winter of dormancy and renewal in her grief gradually gives way to the vibrancy of spring blooms and summer sun.

When Sadie sees the first spring flowers peeking through the snow, she realizes for the first time that she will grow through her grief. This is a stirring portryal of the experience we all face. ... Read more

It is a relative of the Fire Toad (q.v.). When not swimming in larger bodies of open water seeking prey, they lurk in the tree tops hunting small game or looking for large corpses to scavenge. When swimming in their large fin often protrudes from the water's surface thus marking their presence. Because bog hoppers are much faster in the water, this is their preferred hunting place, even though when submerged their tongue can not be used to attack prey. If prey can't be attacked in or from the water the bog hopper will swim at full speed towards it. At the moment when the creature is within about 10 feet distance, they inflate with hydrogen (as explained below) and fly at the prey with the momentum from their rush. (This is their typical attack method people in rafts or boats are near.)Over time, the acidic nature of bog hoppers will pollute the water of their habitat to the point that most life forms therein will die. This then forces the Bog Hoppers to fly out in search of food, eventually to seek a new habitat. After they leave or die the old habitat will, in time, restore itself, return to normal. Then it is likely that new Bog Hoppers will migrate to it, multiply, and the cycle will begin againA bog hopper looks like a huge frog that is still part tadpole. A typical specimen is four feet long, a foot wide and as thick. They have a frog-like head and forelimbs, a tadpole-like tail. The tail has a highly exaggerated fin. The bog hopper has a mouthful of razor sharp teeth of piranha-like sort, a three-foot long tongue with sticky saliva, and sharp clawed forefeet. Add to that the capacity to fly, and this creature is fearsome enough. The bog hopper takes to the air by the following means: It has a specialized stomach and two specialized glands that allow it to mix calcium and acid to create hydrogen gas. The hydrogen fills the stomach ballooning the bog hopper to al ... Read more
