 LadyBug Invasion Crawling on my ceiling Knocking on my door Ladybugs are everywhere I can't take it anymore! They are the sweetest bugs around So Balladeer stay away! But sweet as they are, there's just too many And I think they're planning to stay! There is a hut outside for them It's a ladybug hotel So why they're here, invading my home I really just can't tell. So if anyone out there is feeling lonesome, Please, it is no trouble For me to package up these buggers And send them on the double!  *sigh* I had some cute little ladybug pictures in with this but apparently they won't show up....they worked in the preview window! But I guess they don't want to work on the forum themselves. Ohhh well....just use your imagination  Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too [This message has been edited by SmittenKitten (edited 10-15-2001).] |

Please don't send them here to me For I have my own They are self righteous buggers They moved into my home There are tons of them this year. My cat's been going nuts cause they crawl on the outside of the patio window and she can't figure out why she can't catch them If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

RosePetal~ they look so cute with their little googly eyes They float so still you can barely see them in their sleek disguise But in a flash they'll come to life as they reach out for some flies! I love frogs too Now if you'll excuse me...I'm off to go package some ladybugs Thanks for stopping in and commenting! Tracey~ You sure you don't want even a couple? There's plenty to go around! My kitty cat ignores them here He just lays there on the ground. But what else is new Thanks for reading and replying! Serenity~ What an adorable nickname And there are just waaay too many coincidences here....you sure there's not some celestial plan in effect? (by the way, my Auntie Kay's real name is Karen.)I'll figure out the graphics if it's the last thing I do! And then I'll share the secret with you Hugs to all of you!  Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |

*giggling* send some my way. Maybe they will convince the weather that it is to early to snow. Woke up to it snowing today. *sigh* I love ladybugs too but I am really into dragons. *giggling* this is a delightful read. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Save the ladies!! Save the ladies!!! They are actually a gardener's best friend. Perfect biological control agents, and they adore eating all those nasty aphids. So bag'em up and sell them, don't let them get away! |

This poem was absolutely adorable, I loved it. You did the graphics right Krista. I had forgotten to tell you that sometimes when you get graphics from some sites, they have protection on their bandwidth, that when people try to copy graphics, etc. and use their bandwidth, they can look correct, and often show up for even as long as a day, but eventually will disappear, as they delete your link to the graphic. NEVER use geocities or tripod graphics (they vanish instantly), and now there are many big servers with this protection. The best thing to do is open your own account at a place such as Webshots, or Lycos, find graphics you like, copy to your C drive, and then upload them to those "holding tanks" until you want to use them. In this way that is your very own bandwidth, and they will always appear. Sorry you lost these little buggers, perhaps next time, but your poem stood alone without the bugs, it was terrific Krista.

Whatever happened to those greenish ladybugs? I could swear I've seen em before, but I haven't in ages. Did I dream them up? If you've got any of those, send em on over. The red x's are a really nice touch by the way. Love you! [EDIT]:Well, you shut me up by getting your pictures working finally.

   YAY!!! My graphics are working now! Special thanks to Mysteria You're *so* the best! RosePetal~ I'm glad you liked it Seymour~ Thanks a bunch! Startime~ Yeeeah..tell me about it! We had snow here the weekend before last. I think the ladybugs are just trying to hide from the snow too Thanks so much for stopping in and having a little giggle  I always enjoy that!Nancy~ Well you understand where I'm coming from then! And yes, I noticed the ones this year were orangier and also, many of them don't have spots! Very weird. I cannot believe one bit you though! Did they run out of aphids or something? Hehe...that's just too freaky poor you! Thanks for stopping by, and get carried away anytime! *hugs*Walt~ohhhh yuh MidniteSun~ hehe, sounds like you want some! We actually have been saving them as best we can. We bought a little ladybug hut that apparently they will want to hibernate in. Thanks for reading and commenting SmartChick~ Maaan...you sure? They're free! Mysteria~ You are such a dear Thank you for all the help. I ended up just switching my graphics over to Lycos and now it's working perfectly! (they better still be up there tomorrow or I'm gonna cry )And thank you so much for your lovely comments on the poem itself gave me a smile! *hugs to you sweet friend*SH~ Hehe, you're dreaming again sweetie  These orangy ladybugs I've got keeping me company though, they can easily be made green! I'm sure they wouldn't mind the change, and I sure wouldn't mind the relocation! Hehe...made you eat your sarcastic words That's possibly the best part! Just kidding  ...I love you!  Hugs to all of you! Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself. |
