    Good day TechZ!
    What wonderful treats you’ve prepared. Thank you! :) I like the effect of the titles too.

    But these days, you’re the classiest addition around the cafe. :)

    Hi Liz!

    Mmmmm. Warm croissants with butter, a cup of hot tea, and good reading. What a relaxing way to spend a chill, rainy afternoon! With the food and drink everyone keeps bringing to add to your sideboard, I’m going to end up putting on a few pounds here. Thank you. :-)

    Hi Rick,
    I’m really enjoying your new series. I love the subject of sleep. :)

    Some days there’s nothing like warm, clean sheets, a comfy blanket, and a soft pillow. ;-)

    I hope I don’t disappoint you, Liz. The next segment will seem odd from the usual point of view.

    Thank you Liz for the wonderful mention.

    You have a good selection this week. How appropiate for me - BBB’s Migraine and Rick’s “Sleep”. That’s my life this week.

    later…

    Renée,
    I must admit I was thinking of you when I chose many of these. You were on my mind and I thought other folks might use the information. :)

    How do I not love you moooore! ;-)

    Hey, what did I take to be nice? All I had to do was remember that you weren’t feeling so good. The rest was easy. :)

    I really did like your post, by the way. I always hated it when I was little and they said to me, “Just don’t let the dog know you’re afraid.” BUT they never told me how I was supposed to pull that off — so it just made me more afraid, because I figured the dog could tell I was acting.

    Renée said

    You are such a sweet! I’m glad to have known you. :)

    For the kiddy version of that post, I tell kids to stand still like a lamp post, just don’t pee on your pants before the dog sniff you out and walk away.

    Y’know the children story of the mountain bear (sorry can’t remember the title), Play Dead.

    ME Strauss said

    Yes, Renée, your advice to kids is much better. And I’m glad to know you too. :)

    Hi Liz! Thanks for the mention. (and oh my, there I am in your sidebar!) I lost my hard drive this week as my Mac decided to light itself nearly on fire…so I’ve been out of the loop! I am, as always, honored by your mentions… you are my hero! (I’m in Lake Placid right now. (Performing tonight) It snowed last night… five inches! Is Chicago this cold?)

    Hi Christine!
    How great to see you! Thanks for coming by. Snow! Too soon for me.

    Chicago is feeling fall, but not winter.

    Thanks for the kind message Liz, and especially for all the fun topics here - it’s great to gave them pulled together under one roof. Your site is always interesting, when a person needs to regroup after a busy week! Have a great day!
