well, actually i didn't know the dough-boy before now...i had to google him:)!!!

Starry and finding, if ye're out there somewhere, what are ye dressing up as...?!!!!

'finding' has a house-full of nieces right now; I don't know if she'll get a chance to get on or not.

I will dress as a tax collector.

You have to at least go as a short tax collector, starry.

(Did you ever see Peter Sellers, in one of the Pink Panther movies, do an impression of the French painter Toulouse-Lautrec [who was shorter than five feet tall] by kneeling down and attaching fake shoes to his knees? Hilarious.)

ha no I've never seen the pink panther movie!!

You have a DVD player, don't you? :-)

They made several, but you want the old ones (mostly in the '70's, I think.) The modern ones, after he died, aren't as good.

I'll do no such thing!

You don't have to go to work that way! ;-)

It's not a costume if it's what you already look like, you know.

i used to watch the pink panther programme when i was small but i found it kinda boring.. yeaah i have a dvd player!! I don't really have the patience for tv or movies anymore...!!!

ummmm, do we have to go to work dressed up...? it's stupid that we won't be able to see each other to laugh...!!!

What do you have the patience for ?!!! (Uh oh, now I'm doing it.) :-)

The movies aren't really like the cartoons.

No, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to work dressed as Dumbledore in August. ;-)

i don't have the patience for anything!!! oh no, it wasn't the cartoon I used to watch... it was like a proper programme i think!!!

Maybe you guys had a program we didn't get, over here.

I like Peter Sellers himself, though; he had a knack for being really funny. He died quite a while ago, though. So he's not as funny as he used to be.

You have the patience to be silly with me. Does that count?

i suppose that does kinda count.....although I do lose patience with myself a lot....

Well, patience for yourself is different.

But it would be nice to have some.

Can you treat yourself like an artwork, or a conversation? Something that won't be done for a while, but is worth waiting for? Because you'll never really be "done", you have to be patient with yourself ... Give yourself time to make things happen.

I'll try!!! maybe it's best if i don't treat myself like an artwork though....i'll probably end up covered in paint again....

How was your day starry?

hey blossom, my day was okay. Just lots of people, but they weren't too nasty today. I have to head home soon, I am dreading it, the more I work late the dirtier of a look I get, I am pushing it, pretty soon it's gonna be a fight, he has been holding back, but he doesn't hold that long, but since he has been holding it, it will likely be a lot worse when he decides to inform that I'm not "allowed" to work late anymore, and I'm not even going to go into the rest, now I'm making myself nervous to go home

I'm sorry starry......i wish he wasn't so mean to you.. I wish we could come with you and protect you.... I could fly in the door in my big brave flying artful ginger dog costume and distract him while you go up to your room....

That would distract him, alright. ;-)

I'm off to go eat something, ladies. I hope your respective families are ... respectful instead.

OK, bye fairy godfather:)

G'night, princess Blossom, and dancing starlight.

I'm home, he was too busy screaming at the tv to notice me. Now I'm in the family room and I'm really hungry but I am afraid to go to the kitchen, I know he'll say something to me. Maybe I can convince my mom to go get me food........

and I know I'm too late, but have a good night malign
