I love how you use images for links Liz, they make them really stand out!

October 20, 2006 at 12:59 PMGood 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. 🙂

October 20, 2006 at 1:15 PMHi 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. 🙂

October 20, 2006 at 1:16 PMHi Rick,
I’m really enjoying your new series. I love the subject of sleep. 🙂
Rick Cockrum says
October 20, 2006 at 2:05 PMSome 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.

I very much enjoyed what I read last night. I thought it was quite enlightening and fascinating reading. 🙂

October 20, 2006 at 2:51 PMWhat a nice way to come back from a 3 am shift at work 😀
ME Strauss says
October 20, 2006 at 2:53 PMGreat to see you Yvonne!
Glad I could do something nice for you!
Renée says
October 20, 2006 at 10:33 PMThank 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…

October 20, 2006 at 10:50 PMRenée,
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. 🙂
Renée says
October 20, 2006 at 10:58 PMHow do I not love you moooore! 😉
ME Strauss says
October 20, 2006 at 11:03 PMHey, 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 says
October 20, 2006 at 11:14 PMYou 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 says
October 20, 2006 at 11:23 PMYes, Renée, your advice to kids is much better. And I’m glad to know you too. 🙂
Christine Kane says
October 21, 2006 at 8:53 AMHi 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?)
ME Strauss says
October 21, 2006 at 8:56 AMHi Christine!
How great to see you! Thanks for coming by. Snow! Too soon for me.
Chicago is feeling fall, but not winter.
Ellen Weber says
October 21, 2006 at 1:59 PMThanks 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!
