LindaBudz said...: Well, of course I wouldn't want to feed them, but you mean to tell me I can't even disturb them? What is that, a PETA thing?; September 8, 2007 at 9:41 AM
Brenda said...: It is sad to think that times have come to this...that we, the public, have to be told not to swim with the crocs...

It's like the label on the blow dryers that say don't blow dry your hair in water...duh! I want to know who swam with the crocs and who blow dried their hair in the shower that led to these types of signs/labels...lol; September 9, 2007 at 1:04 PM
Madeleine said...: i love it! why would someone disturb an alligator?; September 9, 2007 at 11:48 PM
Danette Haworth said...: Courtney, Lilfix, Linda and decaf,

I know! The first sign implicitly states, "Hey, there are alligators swimming in here." You'd think that would make the second sign redundant!; September 10, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Mary Witzl said...: I once worked in a school with the sign 'NO SPITTING' prominently displayed. The offenders didn't take a blind bit of notice of it, but that sign did alert us non-spitters to watch where we stepped.; September 11, 2007 at 4:22 AM
Danette Haworth said...: Haha, that's funny Mary!; September 11, 2007 at 7:51 AM

Thoughts on Writing

"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster." --Isaac Asimov

"It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up, because by that time I was too famous." --Robert Benchley

"When writers meet, they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B's. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B; if yes, then all is well." --Cyril Connolly

"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to." --Carl Van Doren

"Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead." --Gene Fowler

"I always write a good first line, but I have trouble writing the others." --MoliFre

"What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he's staring out of the window." --Burton Rascoe

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else." --Gloria Steinem

"I love being a writer; what I can't stand is the paperwork." --Peter De Vries

"This morning I took out a comma and this afternoon I put it back in again." --Oscar Wilde

"I will tell you a story." --Jesus (Matthew 21:28, CEV)
