If you ever find yourself at a Duke’s (from Hawaii) be sure to try it.<BR/><BR/><B>Alison</B> – I love writing in Haiku … and you might be surprised at what you could do. Starting with something simple and joining in with Haiku Fridays might open up a whole new world.<BR/><BR/><B>Tina</B> – Hmmm … the unconscious is a powerful thing and the lessons we learned as children remain with us don’t they. I’m glad you figured out what it was because knowledge is power.<BR/><BR/><B>To all</B> - Thanks everyone for your visit and kind words.

Wearing red is perfect! The only birthday that bothered me was when I turned 40. I didn't even know why. It really bummed me out. It wasn't until years later, that I remembered my mother commenting that I would really regret being the oldest sister because when I turned 40, I would be old and haggard while my youngest sister would still be young and beautiful and only 30 years old. I really think that sneaked into my subconcious because I could never explain my aversion to 40. I wasn't bothered by the thought of turning 41 or 80 - just 40. The mind sure can be strange sometimes. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your quotes, too!<BR/><BR/>hugs,<BR/>TinaTina Coruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213204013140850537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-37819885468010489012008-07-15T19:27:00.000-07:002008-07-15T19:27:00.000-07:00I love the quotes and your haiku...I could never w...I love the quotes and your haiku...I could never write those!!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609471622265969310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-8920761553237303712008-07-15T13:24:00.000-07:002008-07-15T13:24:00.000-07:00Hula pie?

I’m not sure what a Blog Carnival is … but methinks it’s a way to bring bloggers together posting on a similar issue (as with the Ultimate Blog Party a while back). I suppose there’s some place this term is defined specifically, but I’ve used it ‘in context’ here because Rebecca used it when she asked the question. My response is posted at <A HREF="http://storytellersblogrollblog.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">storyteller’s Blog Rolls & Bling Blog</A> rather than here, but I don’t know how many will actually visit because it's quite new.<BR/><BR/><B>Peter</B> – Thanks … but my birthday was in late February ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Jo</B> – I appreciate the validation for my choices in wearing red to celebrate my 50th as well as in sharing jokes and quotes.

As for my last, it was memorable in many ways … but part of what made it so special was celebrating with virtual friends, so I'll look forward to yours.<BR/><BR/><B>Sayre</B> – It is! We’ll be celebrating a friend’s birthday at Duke’s this week … so I’ll get another taste soon. <BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> – You’re back!!! How ‘kewl’ … I can hardly wait to catch up with you. I've missed you, but thanks for the postcards ... I hope you had a wonderful time. As for your 40th … I suggest that create a special day for yourself and savor it all. Remember … for me each decade gets a bit better!<BR/><BR/><B>To all</B> – I just returned from a walk with Molly … stopped at the computer on my way upstairs to get ready for Retired Ladies Lunch and thought I’d take a minute to respond as I ‘cool down’ briefly. I enjoyed finding your comments and hope you’re having a marvelous Monday!
