I love your daughter's hair! Well, I have heard stories from my parents about unwanted guests taking up residents in people's bee hive hairdos. I don't know if that is true or not. I cannot believe much of what my dad used to tell me. My dad was born premature and has scars on his back from lung tubes. He told us they were from being bit by an elephant when he was stationed in Africa. He also told us that eating carrots would make our eyes turn blue. Mine are already semi blue so I did not care, but he and my other siblings have brown. One day he came home with blue contact lenses and my sisters and brother freaked! He said finally he ate enough carrots!! <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> That is just two of many...... katysara on "slow" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/slow/page/24#post-220809 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:43:56 +0000 katysara 220809@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_cool.gif" title="8)" class="bb_smilies" /> tito on "slow" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/slow/page/24#post-220803 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:41:54 +0000 tito 220803@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'm in such a whizzy state just now it took me ages to type the above. <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif" title=":roll:" class="bb_smilies" /> Although it has turned out to be a literary masterpiece. tito on "slow" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/slow/page/24#post-220801 Thu, 04 Mar 2010 18:40:21 +0000 tito 220801@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Wow!
