Ah, that explains it. Not a Bowie fan. Not anti-Bowie, just wasn't someone I listened to...now that you mention the song, I remember it, vagulely. Betsy |

For those joining this already in progress, this is a topic about a screen saver inspired by the Lord of the Rings trilogy: I was thinking about Kindle screen savers and decided to make a quick attempt using Bacardi Jim's PreciousKindle pic as a base. Enjoy. |

At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behavior. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up.
After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favor of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

It would be a violation if I were selling them. But merely displaying them is OK. Note, in fact, that I even left in the artist's signature in the one picture that contained one. |

Or are you politely trying to tell me that you don't like them? Love 'em, just as a quilter (artist), I'm respectful of others' rights. Just checking. (I'd point out that even if they're already on the 'net but it was done without the original artists' permission, it's still a copyright violation.) But if you say they're OK, I'm done. Betsy |
