Bonjour, Hello, Guten tag and Konichiwa

Just a short post to welcome Laura to Orble: a fellow MyLotter who has (like most of us) had some disappointing experiences with blogging sites before and has opted to join the Orble family!

Her blog is called Total Health Freak (so I probably shouldn't be smoking while I type this!). Look out for lots of great advice on getting or staying healthy in the near future.

Pop over and say hello. I'll bring the bran.

I shocked with this guy, Spike. I think he's overdone with his body! Maybe he has obsession with his own muscles?

Janet: Erm, the smallest part, presumably, unless you have reeeaaaally long arms. (No, I don't want to know which part that is.)

Damo: I am not cleaning up that mess!

Indeed, thanks for the laughs!! Where on earth did you find this photograph??!! (And also, a question I have longed to ask for a while, are there any sites with images that do not have copyrights attached? Or do you all just use the images anyway?)

And Spike, I hope you don't mind, but could you possibly change the tag in the title to Tag? All nouns in German have a capital letter (unless some other, usually stupid, rule applies). You're very welcome to consult me over any German matters whenever the need arises, by the way.

The photo was just a random one (and not the freakiest) - just Google 'Bodybuilder' and sit back, dumbstruck.
Mostly, I avoid copyrighted images if I can: the exception is usually movie pics or something, where they won't mind because I'm writing about their product.

For royalty-free clipart pics (which are excellent, such as the one on my Prologue post), I use http://www.clker.com/

For the titles, like the 'Blogging' and 'Jobs' ones, I build them in an online logo creator at http://cooltext.com (also free).

I'll change the title: the 'T' should have been a capital anyway (following my own standard for titles), but I don't speak any German. French, yes, but not German. I'm jealous of your Teutonic capabilities!

Thanks ever so much, Spike, for yet another good piece of information!

Hmm, yes, my Teutonic capabilities... unfortunately, I also get Teutonic Temper Tantrums (TTT), and suffer from a far too direct approach...

I cannot believe this is NOT the freakiest photo!!! But I really must go to bed now... maybe I'll check it out tomorrow...

Eeeeeeek!!! (and my scream recedes with the sound of my footsteps...)

He looks bigger than the characters in Dragon Ball and they aren't even real!

It's great to see support like this on Orble, Spike. Will hop over to say hi to Laura.

The Political Brief

If that picture were of you, I don't want to know what you'd be typing with! LOL Have Laura check out medicinalnature.com It seems that she and Manda Spring may have a lot in common. I just bought one of Manda's new books! If I'm not careful, I may get healthy, too! LOL

The Political Brief

LOL, Spike! When I'm not blogging or being a political analyst, I write really gross murder mysteries. Blood and gore all over the floor! terrible thing for a little old lady! LOL So if you find one of those "really big" keyboards, let me know. At my age, I need all the help I can get!
