| The Old Gods convert one more! Possible spoilers!! This is going to sound made up (it does to me!) but by the Old Gods truth is stranger than fiction! Many of you know I am a recent (old but new!) nursing graduate. I am currently working at a nursing home in my area. On my 3rd day of work I am walking down the hallway and what do I hear? Dany offering to trade Drogon for 8000 Unsullied! I tripped over my own feet in surprise! Miss Elise was given aGoT for her 84th birthday by her great-grandson and the Old Gods claimed another heart! As faithful readers know she is now about halfway through aSoS. As of today she is 86 years old and tells me "Mr. George had better shake his tailfeathers," " I don't plan to live much past 100!." Well Miss Elise, I agree and am passing your message along! |

| Re: The Old Gods convert one more! Possible spoilers!! I vote to send this thread to GRRM. Or even batter - give Miss Elise his e-mail address, cause, as she puts it, he really needs to "shake his tailfeathers", and who better to explain then Miss Elise!  Give my regards to Miss Elise, and tell her that, now that she started reading, must be around for the finish of the story. |

| Re: The Old Gods convert one more! Possible spoilers!! Boy what have I done?! I think I have a unique situation! Has anyone else ever spent 12 hours at a stretch with an 86 year old women who has decided that it is more entertaining to question a fellow reader than to listen for herself?!! |

Be firm. You know that the right thing to do is not to give her any info that is past where she is in aSoS. Stick to it  | |

| Re: The Old Gods convert one more! Possible spoilers!! Tell Miss Elise I said hello... My co-working was constantly asking me question about the HBO series... But I wouldn't tell them what was going to happen... Everyone was shocked when Ned died... Many thought Arya was going to save him... It's hard not giving hints when people keep asking you questions... But stay strong and let them enjoy the journey like we all did... |
