    Hi, newbie here wanting to jump in on this. I always thought that Sam really lucked out in having the superior officers she had in O'Neill and Hammond. She rarely had to go against them because they had a similar moral compass. Jack, though happy to shoot through nearly everything, always listened to both Sam and Daniel and became as effective a leader as he did in large part due to his unique team.

    We all saw what Sam would have been like if she felt her superiors were just plain wrong. "The Path not Taken" pretty much says it all. Sam respects the heirachy of the military, but won't go quietly along if its against her principals. She's pretty stubborn and feisty when she wants to be. At least that how I saw it. Also, I always thought there as wild side that was never explored. I mean, the woman is an expert lock picker. She rides a classic motorcycle. She can't be that straight and narrow. And what about all that unauthorized hacking she seemed very comfortable with whenever it served SG1 or saved the world. But the thing I love about her is that she doesn't use her considerable cerebral powers for self gain.

    I saw Sam as someone who respects the hierachy of the Military, but those she respects personally have to earn it and when they do, she's incredibly loyal. But when people like Kinsey, Bauer, or Maybourne comes along, she can be quite distainful.

    Anyway, hope no one minds my little ramble. Its nice to finally find a place to read and post about my favorite fictitious character and I give 95% of the credit to Amanda Tapping, and 5 % to the creators.
    Well said.

    Was that because I was relatively well-behaved ... or was I just too bouncy to catch still long enough to admonish with your special badge/pin? LOL!

    Must have been the latter because it was definitely not the former!

        Tracking Santa from NORAD is great and loads of fun. These days, I wonder if Santa is an abnormal?

        Yes, the USMC and Reserves organize Toys for Tots. It is a wonderful organization and all proceeds go to the kids.

          Since you've mentioned Norad, I thought I'd post the link to a relevant fic by Sky. Wrong Number is one of my favorite SG-1 Christmas fics.

                  What do you think the reaction at NORAD would be if SG1 took the cargo ship up on Christmas Eve, de-cloaked, and NORAD got an actual radar signal?

                  Do you think Sam would do something like that, with or without the guys?

                    I'm sorry your having to go through this. People who are trusting sometimes never see the true nature of others and can be terribly hurt by a 'friends' deceptions. All I can say to help might be to just find and focus on what makes you happy and move past this hurt you experienced the best you can. You'll find another best friend and hopefully that relationship will be one that is mutually gratifying. Trust might take a while to rebuild, but I'm sure you'll get there eventually too.

                    I'm glad you had fun putting up the xmas tree and hopefully decided on which ep of Atlantis to watch. Take care hon.

                    Don't know what it is about me and auctions but I was involved in another last night. I have an annual Christmas party with friends and the tradition is for the women to draw names and make a gift for the person whose name you've drawn. This year we broke with tradition and were to each make a batch of cookies (placed in a nice tin or a container of your own creation) and bring $20.00. Everyone's money was pooled and there was a draw, however, you put your name in the draw along with the name of the charity of your choice. The winner then was to donate the cash ($300.00) to that charity. I named Sanctuary for Kids but didn't win.

                    The cookies were auctioned off and everyone received a set amount of play money (Canadian Tire money for those of you who know what that is). You could also bid above the limit of your Canadian Tire money but then you had to use real cash which also went to the charity. I ended up with a couple of batches of cookies which I will give to the folks in my office.

                    Not a bad holiday idea. A way to get baking and help others (what the season is all about ).
                    A very cool idea indeed.

                    A bit OT atm but....

                    WE GOT OUR FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON!

                    Granted its not much now, just a bit over an inch, but tomorrow they're forecasting a winter storm watch with snow totals of up to eight inches expected. Heeee.. I believe I see skiing for Christmas/New Years in my future *g*

                      yeah, we're going to get our first real snow of the season tomorrow, 3-10+ inches, depending on where you are and how the storm tracks

                      should be interesting

                          I’m so sorry for you, someone who treats you like that is not a real friend. Try to find strength in the knowledge that you know you’re better than that, and will find someone who you really can call friend. *hugs*

                          Contrary to popular beliefs living in the Nordic does not necessarily give you the privilege of white Christmases, however, it’s almost guaranteed to give you cold wet rainy days of Christmas shopping and fighting big puddles of mud and rain. This is so the way to finding that warm fuzzy holiday spirit


                          So, on the topic of Carter and Christmas and presents I was thinking of what sort of stuff she would receive. I’d probably be some symbolic things from her closest. Definitely something silly from Jack like a Homer pez dispenser. Yup, definitely

                            we get a white christmas around here once every 5-7 years or so.

                            our snow USUALLY lasts 24-48 hours and then melts

                                Neep and I made a special trip to find snow the other weekend when she was here.

                                As we were leaving Thor's cave () we spotted snow in the distance and decided to drive to it.

                                There wasn't much, but there was enough to make snowballs, one of which we brought home for my house mate.
