Note that all of the above have the image both front AND back of the pillow.  For those that don't have words or numbers on them, the image is on both sides in mirror image.
Which is cool.

the Tuesday Song of the Week

Today we're reaching way back to 1885 for a little Gilbert and Sullivan jewel:

'Three Little Maids from School Are We' - from the film Topsy-Turvy

True fact: I was once an actress with a professional theatre company, and one of the members was a late middle-age Brit who was once a member of the D'oyly Carte Opera Company.

Ask.com is waaaayyyy better than Google

In keeping with my former posting about the superiority of WordPerfect over MSWord aka Freaking Word, here's another thing you need to be hepped to.

Searching whatever on Ask.com will takes waayyy less time and energy than searching on Google takes.

I'll tell you why:

Say you search for 'Full Service Bohemian' on Google.  You hit the little magnifying glass icon, and boom!, there's 'Full Service Bohemian' at the top of the list.  Then you click on my blog, and up it comes.  Fine and OK, and all that.

Then, say, you search for 'Full Service Bohemian' on Ask.com, hitting the magnifying glass icon, etc.  'Full Service Bohemian' is there at the top of the list.  Click on it, and it opens IN ANOTHER WINDOW, while keeping open the window you began the search from.  

SO, unlike Google, you don't have to keep hitting the back arrow and starting all over again, if you want to search for something else.  That first window stays open, so you can keep searching to your heart's content, and still keep those other windows open.  

It will save you an ENORMOUS amount of time.

Ask.com is better than Google.

But like the examples in my other post, Google's marketing budget probably equals the GNP of Canada.  

Don't be a sap.  Search using Ask.com

the Tuesday Song of the Week

From the pair who brought you Squeeze:

'Man for All Seasons' - Difford & Tilbrook

The theme is very similar to 'My Brave Face' which came out 5 years later.  Plus 'My Brave Face' sounds a lot like 'Man for All Seasons.'

I wouldn't put it past Elvis Costello to steal.*

*Yeah, yeah, I know, Paul McCartney sang it, but Mr. McManus wrote it.
