Today's mantra: "Here's a little doctor. He is a little doctor."

Interesting search ... click ... the third one down looks familiar :)

... well, it's the third one down as of today, that may change ... look for 'love thy neighbour?'

Another cute e-card ... click

Also made this search ... :)

And by curious timing, happened to see a book by this author yesterday ...

Busy little day online as the weather soutside is a tad inclement ...

Found another interesting article via an earlier search - click - loads of linx down the bottom of the page ...

Hopefully this image will load ... if not just click where these words are and you'll be whisked off to a fabulous page in cyberspace ... curiously enough, once THAT page has loaded, you may then find the image does in fact load ??? ... ah, the mysteries of cyberspace ... how DID we ever live without it ... :)

"Tell me, sweet spirit, what is the meaning of life?" - click :)

This one also from that earlier search hits the nail on the proverbial ... :)

Now here's a couple of things I had scribbled down on scraps of paper in the lounge ...

Hayseed Dixie

New Age Blues

The Importance of Boredom and Unpatterned Perception :)

Aussie Freebies

Oh yes, there's also the funniest home videos site ... I believe it is to be found here

And to finish off (?) ... the quote on this page ... :)

Nice sound effects as well - so, turn on your speakers :)

Lovely little image cropped from the page about 'God bless the bewildered, the lost, the perplexed etc ... :) CLICK on it for more ...

Okay, one more ... "Have you ever heard of any donkey going mad, or any donkey going to a psychiatrist, or any donkey committing suicide, or any donkey committing a murder, or any donkey committing a rape?" - click

Well, not quite ... "Every man is living in a disagreement with himself." - click

Then I found this little page ... :)

... and it's worth clicking on the humour banner on that page

And here's an interesting concept for a links page

Still online ... and checking that Buddhist quote of the moment - click ... and found one that aint yet in my collection ... click

Speaking of Tibetan Buddhism ... something else I have been pondering ... the excerpts from this little volume ...

... brings us to today's quote ... not your standard run of the mill sentiment ...
"I give my flesh to the hungry, my blood to the thirsty, my skin to clothe those who are naked, my bones as fuel to those who suffer from cold. I give my happiness to the unhappy ones. I give my breath to bring back the dying to life."
