Monica, if everyone puts their names in the attachment, won't you have to erase all the names before you email them to Robyn?

If you PM me your email again, I'll go ahead and send my picture to you. If Cathy's shopping.................................this could be a long wait!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

How many people are organizing this thing, I'm starting to get confoozled?

And who do I send my picture to?

And whoever wants the photo you'll have to PM me an e-mail address because unless it's a level file I can't add an attachment.

And do you want my name on it like Monica suggested?

And, and, and.... :lol:

Cathy and I are organizing all the pics and clues and Robyn has been kind enough to post them on her site. Robyn will be clueless as to who's pic is who's, this way she can guess for a change.
Monica, if everyone puts their names in the attachment, won't you have to erase all the names before you email them to Robyn?
No Miss Dizzy....I'll make copies and keep the originals, I'll just rename the copies..01, 02 03 ...etc... before I send them to her.

Awww that's cute Dizzy, but don't you like my kissing puppy dog. :cry:

I'm not much of a cat person, I like cats but I've always had mostly dogs.

Oh Dear!!! Now you've taken away the cutest avatar ever...the kissing puppy. :( I loved it! Just ran across the kitty in a bonnet to let you see it.

I've had cats and dogs (mostly dogs), but I love both. My parents have a cat.

I've had several cats. One named Dickens, he liked to attack people, I thought it was funny, he'd wrap himself around someones leg and wouldn't let go. Most men I've been with don't like cats or otherwise I'd probably have me one.

How's this one, you like this one. I call it walking the dog.... :lol: :lol:

Why don't you use the kitty, you need a cute animal avatar. Might have to sick Lillie's cat on ya, I don't think I'd want to mess with him.

I can't change avatars yet....I just found this one! It reminds me of my childhood music box dancers. :D Ok, maybe after the Contest is over.

When I was little I had a precious kitty cat. One day a Siamese cat came into our yard and started fighting with my cat, then it ran under our car. I got a handful of rocks, got back up on my porch and threw the rocks under the car. In the next split second, the Siamese cat was attached to my tiny legs....with all four of it's feet. The claws were in so deep, the cat had trouble getting off of me. I walked into my house (without crying) and my Mom freaked out. Blood everywhere! But guess what, I still love cats! Go figure!

My daughter used to get me those wind up musical things all the time. When I clean house I wind them up, sometimes I have three or four going at once. I just love wind chimes, I have a huge one that hangs outside my bedroom window on the porch and it's soothing sometimes when the wind is blowing just right. I like to hang them in all my trees, but most have the thing in the center broke out but I can still here them when the wind blows.

Oh oh I love wind chimes! I have a Nascar one right outside the front door, which is right around the corner from my bedroom window! All the near by neighbors have them too. I like the lower pitched tones rather than those squeaky high pitched ones.

Love that kitty picture Dizzy! Sooooo cute.

To me music boxes went the way of knick knacks in my house. I finally realized I had no attachment to any of them and that all I did was dust them all the time. Tossed em. Sick of dusting stuff!

Oh and Gen I love that Avatar! You've used that one in the past and it cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME!

I like cats, music boxes, wind chimes, and all of your avatars too!

Dizzy and Monica, you all have been around some cats with attitude! Two of mine were calico, one tri-colored and one tortoiseshell. I think there is something special about calicos. They are smart and real lovers.

I was looking at the price of pots and pans also. I have a set but I'd like a few more and yes they are expensive.

Dizzy, Robyn's and Bob's emailed me theirs. I have thirteen in all, which includes mine. Marinus PM'd me his.

But I'm home today, I'll be in and out, want to start setting my hanging baskets out so I'll be outside, working on my tan.

You need to look for a Sale on something like Analon (what I use); I think they are the best for the money. A little heavy, but great!

Or go here and look around:

My mummy bought us good pots and pans for our wedding pressie ten years ago! They still look like new after ten years of use! You get what you pay for with pots and pans honey! Might be worth splashing out a bit for the better quality and they will last forever and ever, amen! :D

Thank you all for the info and Emma I'll check that out, thanks!! :D :D My first set lasted over 20+ years and I really liked them, probably why I am so hesitant in replacing them but alas they need to go to pottie heaven :( :lol: I don't mind spending the money I just want to make certain that they are worth it. Things are just NOT made the way they used to be. :evil:

This thread went astray quickly too :shock: I'll get back on track, after this :lol: :lol:

Gen I like your avatar too - great helmet!!! :D

OK, I got to go fold my laundry then I'll copy and rename the pics get it all together and send it off to Robyn. I have 15 pics, if there's any late bloomers you probably have an hour before I send them off. I think you will all be amazed at some of the talent we have here in our forum, I know I am. :wink:
