By the way matey, think your little guy at the bottom is a bit confused, he looks more like a viking then a pirate to me, of course, spinning around like that all day, no wonder he's confused, poor little fella. ;D Confused.

No worries, not a word to Lady P. And I gotcha, he's an apprentice pirate then. Tis better to be old and wise then young and lacking in knowledge, but tis better still to be young "and" wise. Lacking.

Hiya kids! Back with a vengence, just catching up with my favourite threads, and I don't mean tweed! LOL

Hiya kids! Back with a vengence, And not before flammin' time say I. Great to see you back XV. Now I hope that quote you just posted is not about yours truly; naw, couldn't be, I don't have enough money to fall back on. ;D "Her finest and most desirable attributes were plain to all ............... a wicked sense of humour and a deep intelligence.

I suppose I could throw a quote in here containing the word "waste"; I've got one sitting on my desk by Elizabeth Bowen: "To be quite oneself one must first waste a little time."
I prefer though a sage bit of advice...
Waste not, want not...except when it comes to food, in which an over-zealous waste not attitude can lead to more of a want not waist.
Huh? I understood that, but perhaps I should just stick to quotes, and quit wasting time.

I'm glad you understand me, Dear Katina; so few do.....like a friend I once had named Crystal Goblet. Our friendship eventually shattered, I think due to my singing. She just couldn't handle the fine whine.
