Enjoyed it all. I am able to catch up today because I took the day off from work! I knew at the end of last week that I didn't want to do any work on Monday. You do have a beautiful pond and creative ideas for posts. Hope you are having a good day!cat59https://www.blogger.com/profile/10072166570056696838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-31137455035071564882007-07-30T00:42:00.000-04:002007-07-30T00:42:00.000-04:00Sounds like a blissful sort of day - doing exactly...Sounds like a blissful sort of day - doing exactly what you felt like when you felt like it. <BR/><BR/>I had a good laugh - you have a wonderful sense of humour. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your day ...katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-3002845758752942132007-07-29T09:07:00.000-04:002007-07-29T09:07:00.000-04:00Hi Mary,Pretty moth and bug.

I used to work on the Help Desk, technical support, and a lot of my job was supporting Unix-based applications for an internal user community. <BR/><BR/>(Shaking that use of language off, like a wet dog.)<BR/><BR/>There would be hours when I had nothing to do but surf the internet and write to my Yahoo mailing lists. (This was pre-blogging). When it was late in the evening, I'd listen to alternative radio shows (euphemism for conspiracy theory talk shows) on the Internet. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't have been able to stand an office job. Someone would have died... and it likely would have been me. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Peace, <BR/><BR/>~Chanithailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-66960825245931178322007-07-28T11:57:00.000-04:002007-07-28T11:57:00.000-04:00Dear Mary,"It's Friday night and I sip wine".........Dear Mary,<BR/>"It's Friday night and I sip wine".......LOL LOL out loud....<BR/>Where ever you go you bring laughter and love.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-31744650043503030112007-07-28T10:41:00.000-04:002007-07-28T10:41:00.000-04:00Dear Mary, I just dropping by to say hello and wis...Dear Mary, I just dropping by to say hello and wish to you all a nice weekend!

I really feel it makes us more productive and who will really care in the long run. Everything seems to just keep rolling along no matter if you work hard or not. At least in most cases it does (guess not if you were a doctor or something with tons of responsibility).<BR/><BR/>The moth was quite beautiful.
