And the winner of our June competition is Jess from Jesseeker.
She’s a smiley, happy and slightly unhinged 29 year-old wife, daughter and sister. Visit her blog for a taste of England!
July Cartoon Competition is officially opened!….And now for the cartoon for the day…..
Liz married 8 times (one she remarried, making it 7 husbands), but in the celebrity stakes, Zsa Zsa Gabor beat her by one, marrying 9. If you exclude celebrities, then a grandmother from Indiana, Linda Wolfe, must take the ultimate ‘prize’, having been married 23 times.
Only two more days left to enter the 3 Click June Competition. Entry is free!
And just so you know that I’ve exaggerated the truth just slightly, here is an article that went to the effort of trying to come up with a ‘real’ number of 34 times on average per day.
Last week I experienced an almost similar scenario. If my feet could have walked out on me they would have.
First I subjected them to a new pair of boots, to only create two blisters which grew and popped on both heels within 20 minutes of commencing my walk to work. Next, a friend at work offered a pair of other shoes to get me home in. They ended up being so tight across the toes that my toes cramped up. Somehow I managed to hobble to my car. The joy continues the following day with only one pair of shoes in my wardrobe that didn’t kill my heels. Unfortunately they were summer styled (winter at present) with exposed toes, so I couldn’t hide my white legs behind stockings (Well I could, but then the stocking and sandal look is somewhere even I am not willing to go to). Again, I trekked to work, only to have the sling back fall lose, resulting in a pair of clogs, which wouldn’t have been that bad, if it was not for the fact they were high heels, so they clip clapped all day long.
Today I’m wearing sensible unfashionable sneakers.
For years I refused to get a handbag, mainly because of the possible above scenario eventuating. I succumbed a few years ago now, but insisted on hunting down a bag with multiple compartments so I didn’t end up lugging around a sack and not being able to find anything.
And for the men out there, why not give the man bag a go? You’ll wonder how you ever lived without one.
Thanks to GD from GD Konstantine’s Blog for submitting this joke on the Submit a joke page
Yes, this might look familiar to some. It made its debut appearance in the March Freebie.
What? You missed the March Friday Freebie – well don’t worry, here’s the link again. And while you’re at it, how about giving the Freebie page a rating? Feel free to give it a 5 star stellar rating!
Congratulations to Froggwell on winning the April ‘How many jelly beans’ competition.
You can visit Froggwell at their blog site – it’s all about ‘Great art, in a great setting’
And the answer to the jelly bean question is 178 (‘My gosh! -That’s a lot. You are very industrious creating all those images.’ I hear you cry. And my response is ‘Yes, it is. I’m still recovering’).
As always, thanks for all your entries. If you missed out this time, not to worry – enter the May competition and try again.
Maybe being an engineer, I’m too practical to even think of Googling this one (unless of course I’m wearing my cartooning hat at the time). Did you know you can go to eHow to find a set of instructions on how to fix that annoying computer stuck key problem?
