2022-04-27 18:07:41 +0000 UTCI had the same LotR thought about the Earendel star when I first read about it. I think the reason it sounds familiar to you is because Frodo is given a phial by Galadriel when they leave Lothlorien, and the phial contains the light of Eärendil's star. "I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out."

2022-04-09 23:45:24 +0000 UTCI am getting urgent messages that claim to be from a bank where I never had an account. Also, tons of mortgage refinance offers all the time, and I have never had a mortgage.
