VEGGIE ROUNDS ELEMENTS
clear tapes with illustration


These 'veggie rounds' are totally non-fat... just kidding, stickem', don't eat 'em! I hope you find a good use for these - they're another one of my experiements. My creativity is waning at this moment and I am making an executive decision to take a few days off of blogging. Don't worry for me, my friends, I will be dreaming up new and exciting things.



BRAND-NEW, FRESH-BORNED HEDGEHOG



Thank you all for your comments - it seems that many (a surprizingly lot!) of you have been touched - or had someone close to you be touched, by heart attacks! After your comments I know I will NEVER take it lightly! Cathy - that must have been especially frightening for you!



I'm also still recieving comments that some recent elements are not downloading - if its a have-to-have email me at lalalime@hotmail.com and I will get you fixed up. (Soons as I've rested up for a few days!)




DARLING, HOW I LOVE YOU!



With that - I'm leaving you all with some humour and some inspiration and scripture to tide you over. I will pray for you!



COMPASSION IS YOUR PAIN IN MY HEART



"Share each other's troubles and problems,

and so obey our Lord's command."



Galatians 6:2



When I sit by myself at the close of the day,

And watch the blue twilight turn amber and grey,

With fancies as twinkling and vague as the stars,

And as distant as they from this life's petty jars -

I know not, I think not where fortune may be,

But I feel I am in very good company.



When I sit with a friend at the glow of the hearth,

And fight some great battle of wisdom or mirth,

And strike fom our armour the sparkle of wit,

That follows the shafts of our thoughts when they hit.

I know not, I think not where fortune may be,

But I feel I am in very good company.



- Glouchestershire Folksong

BARB'S HANDY TIP #288

Leave You Laughing!



I never realized before that there are so many funny little (audio) bits to Abbott and Costello - until I found this website and tuned into a few sessions!



Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film, and television made them one of the most popular and respected teams in comedy history. Their "Who's on First?" routine, developed during their years in burlesque, is widely considered to be one of the greatest comedy sketches of all time. To listen to any of our Abbott and Costello episodes for free.
