I am like that in Staff meetings at school.<br />I like the idea of a heart being gladdened by a post- yes and I agree, a simple thank you is a good idea. It's hard to comment all the time, it does take a long time. <br />THANK you. Saying you enjoy my blog is a really nice thing to say. Don't ever delete your blog! And I must come and see you! I thought I'd followed you but since I don't notice anything in my blog feed perhaps I don't. Anyway, thank you for your kind comment. xx"<br /><br />I think your outfit is brilliant! You are the optimity of anachaic cool and you are essentially wearing a Teddy bear!!! The hair is pretty cool! You have one skilled hairdresser.<br />I'm glad that it cheered you up in the end.<br />Ha, my husband told me my wide-legged blue stripy trousers are awful today. I had them made in Bali.

I don't think that it has as much to do with my age as it has to do with my weight and my conservative friends. When I was a young woman in my late twenties and throughout my thirties I was slim and hung out with more of a hippy crowd. There are times when I really miss the fun of "putting on the style" and having people comment on my style . . . that hasn't happen in years:)<br />That's one reason that I love visiting your blog . . . I can relive a little bit of the good old days through your style.<br />Have a very happy day!<br />I think that throwing that twenty down was a magnificent gesture . . . you knew when you tossed it that you would never see anything part of it again, LOL<br />Keep smiling,<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-70777600297649712902015-02-15T13:00:10.781-08:002015-02-15T13:00:10.781-08:00I just want to stride along in your slipstream, br...I just want to stride along in your slipstream, breathing in the essence of rock goddess trailing from your coat tails.
