John, I do believe dolphins are higher up the spiritual chain than we humans are. Lucily, they are in many waters that have not been affected by the oil spill. Dolphins have even saved human lives -- my Aunt Eva is one of these. Love, Carolyn

I see you've changed your footle and I love this one! Fish and other wildlife here are already dying in contaminated sea water. Excellent, powerful statement, my friend. Love, Carolyn

hm, this is a really depressing footle. the name (footle) barely fits the mood of it. its so sad. how much those fish have to suffer, it looks horrible. ~Always&Forever LYnette

Had to continue up here. . . . I will blog tonight about that etheree contest. I really need to close it out and get it judged. I am just glad I gave it until June 30; however, tomorrow night might be the best time to finish with it with hubbie out driving truck. I have not seen ONE etheree. I am trying hard to avoid even seeing the titles of them when I reply to friends' poems! LUv, Andrea

oh, that really works, those poor poor fish! And say, you are so right. For a whole week I am stuck at 49!! (too bad that is not true about my dang AGE. hahaha) It just keeps going up and up and up. I wish I knew what to tell you about the body of your blog. You are not able to get ANY blogs up then??? As you mght see from MY recent blogs, I am a computer "dummy" so it's blind leading blind, if anyone comes to ME for help!
