If the cabinet weren't stationary, it would be hard to write upon. Damn you, wriggling furniture!

Are the counters and cabinets at A Cuppa Tea made of stationary and have pens attached to them?

Archived comment by Paul:
A priest was in charge of the garden within a famous Zen temple. He had been given the job because he loved the flowers, shrubs, and trees. Next to the temple there was another, smaller temple where there lived a very old Zen master.
One day, when the priest was expecting some special guests, he took extra care in tending to the garden. He pulled the weeds, trimmed the shrubs, combed the moss, and spent a long time meticulously raking up and carefully arranging all the dry autumn leaves. As he worked, the old master watched him with interest from across the wall that separated the temples.

When he had finished, the priest stood back to admire his work. "Isn't it beautiful," he called out to the old master. "Yes," replied the old man, "but there is something missing. Help me over this wall and I'll put it right for you."

After hesitating, the priest lifted the old fellow over and set him down. Slowly, the master walked to the tree near the center of the garden, grabbed it by the trunk, and shook it. Leaves showered down all over the garden.

"There," said the old man, "you can put me back now."

Archived comment by Denise:
A man falls off a cliff and has the good fortune to grab a branch on his way down. Hanging from the branch, he looks up and sees a snarling tiger at the top of the cliff, thus climbing up is not an option. Looking down from his branch he sees another snarling tiger at the bottom of the cliff... looking right in front of him he sees the most beautiful red strawberry growing from the brach. He reaches out, plucks it, and pops it in his mouth. It was the sweetest berry he'd ever eaten.

Interesting story, I thought... good message.

Bizarre that the story was on "King of the Hill" last night.

Oh, I had the BEST dream last night and it involved a play by Paul Wanowski, or something along those lines and it was fanTAStic and I inadvertantly got dragged into one of the scenes which was so fun and it was intense and impressive and there was some incredibly attractive man there and I can't remember his face or who he was. This makes me sad. I wish we had mental pictures of our dream extras on file.

Cebu was there too, and annoyed with me for going onstage. Heh--that's true to life. *grin*

You have to remember what was on me! You must! No arguing! Just remember already! Right now!

Seriously, I hate when I can't remember anything about a dream. I'm just left with a feeling of importance and the world will now end because my subconscious doesn't want to share with the rest of my brain. Bah! I guess you can't will your brain into remembering, although you may want it.

Actually, the bear I got him wa between a dominatrix bear (only it was red leather, not black) and the other bear had piercings all over the place. I think I counted 18 piercings.

On a weird note: I had a dream last night where all of you guys were in it. Except I coulnt see anyone's face, it was all fuzzy, but I just knew who was who because of how you "know" something in a dream. Funny thing was, Monk didnt have a face but he did have a brown robe, and ParU had a big purple U on his head. And I remember Apple also had something on her but I can't remember. That's the last time I stay up so late on this thing.

How about..."you can make all your time making love?"

That is better than timing your love making.

Make the MP3 CD, stick a couple of .jpgs of yourself from the neck down in virtually nothing and give it anonymously and see if he recognizes you.
