right under  my pillow, you see,

for the ugly fairy
has left me some money- whoopee!

For humor, it reads like a winner..Way to go..Thanks for cupping your hand and praying..I am better than I was when I did that poem for I was having arrythmia very bad at that time..My daughter who is a nurse gave me an injection of B12 and the arrythmia went away except for occasions like if I consume some caffeine..Sara

Ha ha......yes digital mirrors with airbrushed photos would save a lot on plastic surgery. We could all imagine ourselves better than we are, or as we were, when we were twenty three. Lol

Yes, Suz, I've modified my mirror to improve my looks- it now has a photo glued on it of Russell Crowe's ass :)

For God's sake, Paul, don't- you have no need of the money, and I'm pretty sure that the ugly fairy doesn't fly on the cheap airlines, so you may end up staying awake unecessarily. Regards, Viv
