This was the first.
From The Wacky
World of Kevio.
Kevio was
my HTML mentor
& my first cyber award.

This
from Hope, a Texas Lady who actually knows Johnny Winter. Here's what Hope told me. "I want to tell you why I gave you this award. When I first got my puter, my sister lived in a little town outside of Houston, called Clear Lake, she and I used to "im" each other and some nights we would get to laughing so hard we would literally cry and peepee in our pants. I have not laughed hard like that in a long time. When I visited your site I laughed so hard at your wit that I found myself rolling with laughter. For this you deserve this award. ~~ ROFLOLPIP ^*^*^*^* "Roll On Floor, Laugh Out Loud, Peepee In Pants" ^*^*^*^*"

Thanks, Hope!

Then I stumbled upon Shelley's Secret Garden, which inspired me & I told her. She then visited me and here's what she said I just finished a visit to your website, and I loved it so much . . . your humor is awesome! I have a 19-year-old, and I am always trying to convince her that real happiness will come when she learns to laugh at herself, and never take herself too seriously. You are a wonderful example of just what I am trying to convey to her! Thank you for your visit to my website, and your very nice words in my guestbook . . . it led me to your site! I hope you will except an award. I don't think I have ever wanted to give this as much as I do right now! Besides the great humor, the gorgeous flowers, and the touching poetry, not to mention the household hints, (thank you!), your entire site is excellent. Of course, this award is not nearly as interesting as the ones you have from you! *L* Thank you for a great place to visit!

And thanks for the kind words, Shelley! ~ Shelley's SecretGarden ~ ...visit, you'll be glad you did!

The September "LipPrint" award from Bonnie, one of my NetSisters. She said: "I started giggling the minute I got there and had tears running down my cheeks by the time I left. What a hoot!! You seem to approach life according to one of my favorite sayings: "Not one shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious." As a thank you for giving me (and everyone else who stops by your place) such a great time, I'd like to present you with the Lipstick's Lounge LipPrint of the Month for Septemer 1999. This isn't an award that can be applied for, but one that I give on an occasional basis when I find a website that gives me particular joy. Your's definitely did that. Thanks, Bonnie! What a delightful surprise!
