Cottleston Pie is the Taoist philosophy dealing with our Inner Nature (as explained by Winnie-the-Pooh)
To get the full scoop, read "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff.

Books ~

I need to play catch-up a bit with this...

"The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein
about love & redemption ~ a keeper

"Merle's Door" by Ted Kerasote
about a dog, and the relationships between man & dogs ~ VERY thought provoking

"The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society by MaryAnn Shaffer & Annie Barrows
about how little things can change your life ~ charming

And I've just now finished "Water, Stone, Heart" by Will North
again, about love & redemption ~ with a magical twist or two
a keeper
and I can't wait to read his first novel "The Long Walk Home"

JMHO...

Just My Humble Opinion...

Re: sarah palin ~ her resignation stinks like a 7 day old fish ~ what is REALLY going on? Hopefully she will just crawl back into whatever ice cave she crawled out of...

Re: michael jackson ~ I am SO sick of all the headlines! Yes, he was a musical genius who forever changed pop rock. As far as the chart topping weirdness, who the heck really knows?? And furthermore, who really cares?? I must say I can't blame Miz Rowe for blasting that reporter ~ I doubt I would have warned first! For me, a straight shot to the groin would have sufficed.

Re: North Korea ~ Hit them with our back-pack nukes, at strategic sites. Then very gently help them see we are not the evil empire they think we are. This will take at least a generation or three.

A new cool toy!

It's amazing what you can come up with!! Many thanks to Leonie ~

Later ~
I've been playing more with this ~ it is VERY addictive!!! And I can take a screen shot of the grid to print out later so I can keep tunes I like... now to find a way to create ringtones from them!!

AWESOME!!!

Later still...
My genius hubs has figured out a way to capture the tunes using audio hijack for MAC ~ don't know if it would work on PCs... this means we can keep tones we like on iTunes!
Also, experiment with circles and squares and rectangles ~ neat affects!
Another thing to try is to hold the left mouse key down, then move the mouse around...

Ya can't have it both ways, guys!!!

"Tiny fragments of bone" in the sarcophagus were subjected to carbon dating, showing they "belong to someone who lived in the first or second century," the pope said in a homily carried on Italian television.


So they believe that carbon dating is OK to 'authenticate' the bones of a supposed saint, but it's not OK to verify the theory of evolution???

I will let the hypocritical bullshit stand in evidence ~ it needs nothing more from me.
