David Stafford:A Complete Guide to Safe Helmet Usage

Orginally meant for an Art unworthy relative. I have it now, and it's all mine!

This wonderful boekie is so funny, but actually started me thinking of accidents. So I started a little research project to go with the blog.

According to the Center for Disease Control, falling out of bed accounts for 1.8 million emergency room visits and over 400 thousand hospital admissions each year.

“The primary way consumers can avoid static electricity…

Valentine Mark Herman: To Blog or not to Blog

Val sent a very old French post card from when they use to put the stamp on the front. Maybe as old as 1980?

On the back it reads; "Once the Non-blogger posse was established, a many Mail Artists when into hidding."

Thank you Val. What a tool you…

Erni Bar at 45 RPM's. A new World record. Right here, Right now.

Sorry, No record breaking here. It arrived "as is" with 3.45 euros of stamps on the back and undamaged. Udo Jürgens (79 years old now) will be happy to see that his 1967 smash hit "This ain't the Erni's Blues" is once again back on the charts.

I can't wait to…

Nancy Bell Scott: Rust never sleeps & proof that leaving the house is overrated

I didn't make up this title, I was on the envelope. And Nancy is correct about this text. If she continues to do great work like this, we should all pay to have her locked up in the house for good.

Really lovely. It just grabs you.

Thank you very much…

Keith S Chambers: Better to have a used Camel then no Camel at all

From the famous "some guy named Keith" series, I received the used Camel. Now maybe the others received cute animals from Keith, but I say that it's better to have a used Camel then no Camel at all.

And if I find myself in the middle of the desert, I'll really be happy not to have one of those cute animals.

Thank you…

Susan McAllister: Red Ambassador arrived in Paris

Normally I can come up with a title for Susan's work. Not that they need titles, but most of them just speak to me. However, this one had me running in my shoes.

So I looked at the back and Susan's words of wisdom rang in my ear; Red Ambassador arrived in Paris.

This might be code for some, but Susan and I know the score.

Thank you again Susan,…

ViZma Bruns: Olden Bells Book or Bad Burlesque award

A boekie which should never be opened in a public Library.

This little number arrived right before the poker play-offs. Ant those ants on the playing card? I would like to tell you that there is an ace on the reverse side, but I would be lying.
