a fox
someone with eyes in the back of their head
someone who can revolve their head through 180 degrees
anyone you can see through
anyone whose eyebrows meet in the middle
a woman with a beard
a woman who closes her legs when you throw something into her lap
a woman who doesn't say anything when you know you have upset her

I'm all for convenience, but try to stay away the sugar.

I like that Big Buddha Jasper, but I guess I can't click on the link. Are those Amazon ads?

Thanks, Sam! And thanks for spotting that typo--it's fixed :)

This wizzle is great for jump starting ideas. I like the "think local" approach. Things we know about and may take for granted are often exactly the kind of information someone else may be looking for.

I wish I had seen this article a week ago before I bought my digital point and shoot. Oh well, I'm thinking of getting an SLR anyway..

Yes Jimmie, I do fall in the same trap frequently, trying to improve what is not work instead of repeating what has proven to work! I am curious to see / hear about was is working for you, when you are ready to share it ;-)

Helpful article, Paul. I like the bullet points. That seems to work best for people who skim.

Awww! Now I'm really blushing. Thank you. :)

Great to hear from you Ladyelena, I look forward to hearing more from you as well.

Katiem2 and Wisefool - You are both very welcome; and thank you. :)

Lol Jo, I might have signed up before you, but you started to write here before I ever got round doing so, so I guess we are equals, also I have to acknowledge that you are the better writer of the two of us!

LOL Terri, brilliant answer! Sounds feasible to me!

Wisefool - You're very welcome. I'm a great believer in learning from each other, so this was my small contribution to that.

Digby and Sam - Thank you both for your comments. I've read them with interest, as you've both been here much longer than I have. It's good to hear the pros and cons. I agree that recognition, especially in the early days, is an essential boost to the self-confidence.
