  • Final notes:
    O.K. so at last endeth the first lesson.
    For those of you who don't/didn't know me i like to think that any comments I make are for your benefit not mine.
    If you disagree then delete by all means you have the power (as some already have)
    If I have offended in any way then you must be too used to so called friends leaving comments such as "awsomerite" or "gr8t pics you iz given out babe".
    You know the kind of bilge I am talking about.
    Please if you think you would like me to comment on any of your work then drop me a line and I will be as honest as i can(considering I only use the Queens English that is).
    Good luck in all that you create and i hope to see some of you at least in the future.
    Love and kisses to all.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    P.S. Edna got an honor because it really did make me smile.
    You should all read it.

    salt and pepper are SEASONINGS. not Seasons lol. It's a difference in presentation of the words. We know what you mean I like the contest though, it's the kind that brings people to think about the elements and the attitude of the earth.
