Is there anyone more boring than an 'anonymous' commenter.<br /><br />An imaginative and passionate and bold person would at least sign up on Blogger, make up a witty name, and be brave enough to post something of pith and vinegar!<br /><br />cheers, DIANE<br />www.thestylesaloniste.com/Diane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-65951118580040567142010-07-21T07:21:25.606-05:002010-07-21T07:21:25.606-05:00I love your blog so much that I just left you an a...I love your blog so much that I just left you an award on mine ...<br /><br />:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772527527838481081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-52377801123286066142010-07-21T01:56:05.565-05:002010-07-21T01:56:05.565-05:00It's been a somewhat 'challenging' day...It's been a somewhat 'challenging' day at work, but seeing your reply to that grumpy Anon. person had me laughing like a bandicoot (strange but cute, little Aussie marsupial).

If my work area ever looks that neat, there wll be photos all over the Internet, and by god, there won't be any apologies, either. But that probably won't happen. My stacks of papers & tearsheets may not have reached the level of Mario Buatta's, but then, neither has my talent, and sad to say, the stacks will get there long before the talent does. <br /><br />But I love the red ball story. You never know what a seemingly small act will turn into, and I'm just glad that you decided to buy Rosie a new toy that day. And speaking of dogs, when bratty anons breach the fence of civility, I'm all for Mr. Burns' no-nonsense solution: <i>Release the hounds!</i>magnaverdenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-36713311457037367412010-07-20T11:21:26.707-05:002010-07-20T11:21:26.707-05:00Thank you so much for the kind posting!
