Food, glorious food.

Enrich the brain, not the butt. I am going to have that tattooed somewhere on my body (not my butt, though, because I can't see it there!). Brilliant!! Words to live by!!

And I LOVE your new profile picture. You look very happy and beautiful!!!

Diane, I need to practice what I preach ;-)
The photo is almost 2 years old but obviously newer than the one from 1997. Thanks!

Food once taken for granted
is now an issue.
Or rather, the lack thereof.

One of these days I might just post my haikus at Sparrows instead of here. Just wanted to say "Hi", Jean.

Digestion bring me
the indigestion then leave
the foul fumes behind

Anon, the more the merrier!
Don't hesitate to email.

Mark, that's a classic! ;-)

I love both these - particulary the lower one - appeals greatly with too long sitting at the PC not good for butts! Very pretty profile photo Jean.

Jean said...

Susie, the butt thing? Speaking from sad experience :-(
(thanks re the photo :-))
