Your GOM is full of fun - I loved the mask story.<BR/>Watch out for those security guards - you'll be in trouble for having too much fun LOL. How is it people are so serious all the time- (Perhaps the security guards have too much to watch these days that they can not take a chance on anything no matter how innocent-) That is not a very cheery thought!<BR/>As always Meg, you keep finding the funny side of life too- May you never lose your sense of fun..<BR/>Regards,<BR/>Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-30135697033330615952008-05-17T21:24:00.000+10:002008-05-17T21:24:00.000+10:00Love Leanne's gynae joke - haven't heard that one ...Love Leanne's gynae joke - haven't heard that one before :-) Sorry you are feeling so cr**.

Just shows you how much I don't know!<BR/>Sorry you now have another health problem. No matter how small it is you have every right to feel depressed. After all, it was only a straw that broke the donkey's back. LOL Would you try relaxation therapy? It just might help to take your mind off the itch at least.<BR/>That aside, I do love the moth photo's. His colour must change like that so he is seen on whatever he lands on. Nature is very clever.

Was it a slow day for security??? Honestly, how could that be threatening? I'm glad you all enjoyed it before security got self-important. I've been reading your blog now for a short while and really enjoy it. It's interesting to note the differences and also the similarities of our two continents (I'm in the mid-western US).Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10988655883143861211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-17116307208988594912008-05-17T09:09:00.000+10:002008-05-17T09:09:00.000+10:00Nice moth pictures.

ROFL You and GOM are just delightful...and as Mike said above, we all need to just get over ourselves again and learn to live each of these moments....well, the ones without itches and thumping skittering hearts, and strange ailments, anyway!
