But my sweet, little daughter is a wonderful and talented artist like her Grandma and she is also a designer at 12 years old. Hey, I hope you aren't too sick, and I hope you feel better soon. You have blogs to maintain, mate! (hey, I'm a New Yorker who said mate) Be well. -Mike.Michael J.

Lately, I've taken to "Robins Egg Blue" as I've been complimented by many that it goes with my eyes. <BR/><BR/>As for the photo, sometimes I take the picture myself; but, in this case, I used an image from a software package I bought from http://www.broderbund.com/. I purchased it retail/boxed at the store for around $30.00 USC. They have good products, and the graphics can be optimized for use on the web. With this image, I only had to crop it a bit and I changed the background to a light gray as the white background was too harsh on the eyes. I uploaded it to my post, and bada-bing, here it is. If you want to know the specific software art package I bought, I'll be happy to let you know if you can't find it on their website. You know you can drop me a message from my e-mail at any time. I appreciate your comments, Mike. What color do you paint yourself? -Mike.Michael J.

The problem is that I haven't stopped after twenty years of being in a relationship with the same woman. Look for that e-mail I promised you about blog traffic soon. I want to be thorough. Be healthy and happy. -MikeMichael J.

This is a post along with a few others had wrote earlier but kept in reserve for times when I did not feel like writing or couldn't. I am definitely going to write your meme either this weekend or early next week as I feel it would be a good way to get my creative juices flowing again, and I am always happy to be tagged by someone. I have another post I am going to put up first, and then I am going to concentrate on the meme. <BR/>BTW, I noticed you implemented Haloscan as a commenting tool. Would you mind sharing how it is working out and how you were able to make the transition? I absolutely hate the comment feature here and I want to switch. If it is not a big deal, would you contact me with the contact link on the left hand side of my blog? I certainly appreciate it. Thanks for your comment. Have a great week. -Mike.Michael J.

My wife still laughs about this and told this story over the summer at a barbeque. Why is it that wives seek to embarrass their husbands? Hmmm? It's funny, and I am glad you liked this one. Thanks.

Your story of walking in on your BF's brother in the bathroom reminds me of a story where my brother in law walked in on his mother in law in the bathroom. It's too gross to tell, and it didn't even happen to me. I'm glad I made you laugh. Thanks! Have a great day. -Mike.Michael J.
