Card was inspired by a friend's b-day popping up about the same time the frog at top did. That year she was also celebrating her 10th lucky-to-be-alive anniversary after surviving a brain embolism - hence the "morbid" humor. Due to the fact that she is one of my oldest friends and exactly one month older than me, we are duty-bound to antagonize each other.
Frogulations can't be beat for general practice age razzing - copy and paste into e-mail, or send the whole page. Given enough notice, it's possible I could customize, just ask: MarthaJones1@aol.com or if that box is full MsAtte2ude@aol.com
Please use a clearly defined subject line, "b-day/other card" is fine. When I don't recognize names/addys, I have to delete or be buried forever in a pile of junk. I also don't open anything with attachments unless I know the sender, and not always even then. Too easy not to know there's a virus/worm bonus.
I have a few more cards in mind - watch for links here or you may request notification. However, I can't promise notice delivery due to numerous ongoing mail problems.
Find new pages on my main general index: http://www.therealmartha.com/indexgraphiccr/default.htm - as well as a variety of side-trips to investigate, including critters, cooking, crafts, humor, serious - at this point, hopelessly addicted to page making, I don't recall what all (~.*)
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess, happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said, "Elegant
lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."That night, while dining on lightly sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself, "I don't friggin' think so!"

Right now, and for the duration, this is priority
