Aviary
No, not a place for birds but a great online image manipulation website consisting of several tools: Phoenix, a basic image editor, Peacock, a tool for building filters and creating effects, Toucan, an application for building palettes, and soon to come is Raven, a vector graphics tool. Like Photoshop, Aviary's files also supports layers.
All you need is a web browser and register with the site.

Steel-Toed
You Are Cowboy Boots |
 You are incredibly down to earth and happy with yourself. You don't pretend to be someone else. You also tend to be very practical. You don't really have a lot of room for fluff in your life. You are a very honest and direct person. You will give anyone a straight answer, even if it's a bit uncomfortable. While you're quite sensible, you always like a little bit of flash in your life. You don't overdo it, but you do like turning heads. |
I've owned one pair of cowboys boots in my life and they were steel-toed. I ordered them through a company I worked for at the time and for some reason, they were a size too small. I couldn't send them back, so I wore them...for a very short while.
To this day my toes ache when I see a pair of cowboys boots. Since I live in the Texas Panhandle, my tootsies ache pretty much all the time.
There were several versions of this song on YouTube, but I like this one because it's got nice, shapely legs in the boots. On the other hand, it's a little disconcerting to think those same legs are grandma...or even great-grandma...legs these days. Oh well, I'm gettin' to the age where varicose veins and wrinkles are starting to be sexy to me.

Dear Svetlana,
You're trying to tell me you can't find a man in all of Russia? I guess I can sympathize because I've been told I can't find a woman in this hemisphere.
So, you can't find a prince, eh? Ever try kissing frogs? It might be your destiny to find a prince or it might be your destiny to get warts, who knows?
Always,
Mike
P.S. Next time you write, put in some funnier stuff so I can have an easier time making fun of it. (Your fractured English just isn't enough) Rest assured, however, that I will never ignore them.
Just to let you know, I post these mails so I can let the spambots pick up on your email addy as well as the one the email really came from.
