Hello Fellow Mouse Potatoes

*"A mouse potato is the computer equivalent of television's couch potato: someone who tends to spend a great deal of leisure time in front of the computer in much the same way the couch potato does in front of the television. Both activities tend to be accompanied by snacking. A recent survey by the American Snack Food Association found that 85% of Web surfers snack at the computer. It has been observed that this habitual nibbling and relative inactivity can lead to development of a characteristic potato-like body form."

Laughter is like a prayer, like a bridge over which creatures tiptoe to meet each other. Laughter is like mercy; it heals. When you laugh at yourself, you are free.

The sound of roaring laughter (even in cyberspace) is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. It is a bandage to heal emotional wounds.

When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humour and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humour you find in it. When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”

Remember ~

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

Humour unites us, especially when we laugh together.

Laughter heals.

Laughs and smiles are enjoyed best when shared with others.

To laugh or not to laugh is your choice!

Now listen up! If SusieQ can do it...any of you can too!

Practice. Hehehehehe

Today I will draw a simple picture and I want you to try and post it.

Okay here's the simple picture. Do extra what I did and it will come out okay! As you master one, I'll give you another one (alittle harder).

That is a 1...very simple. Once you understand that the pictures always shift to the left, you'll know how to do it.

Hehehehehehe! Pretty soon everybody from SOK will be drawing! Hahahaha

Take good care Nina and remember to do your DB & C exercises!
