I've been cutting up a storm lately. Here are some maquettes and ideas for future metal sculptures: It's great fun cutting paper. Why not give it a try?

Yesterday's Tuesday Question asked, "Who Was Your Favorite Teen Idol?" and I was lucky enough to receive comments from the most entertaining bloggers on the net ! I'm not kidding, the following bloggers are all super talented, in addition to hilarious people who were probably really groovy teenagers! So pull up a chair or couch, but be sure to get a coke, coffee, or whatever you need, since I think you'll stay awhile! Because this is real entertainment!
In addition be sure and check out these bloggers sites if you haven't already and read their blogs! Thank you to all of you reading and for those who generously contributed to a another fun day and another Tuesday's Question! Which, by the way I must say, my readership has doubled since I've started posting! Thanks to all of you and my wonderful readers constant support! You've made me feel mighty groovy!
My friend indeed and first commenter yesterday was the unforgettable Sandee, from Comedy Plus! I bet Sandee was fun to have a class with! For one thing she doesn't follow rules, and that to me means I would have definitely been her sidekick. I always hung around people like Sandee, because of their dry wit, kindness and appetite for adventure.
Because Sandee was my first commenter I posted her favorite teen idol (or one of them)
Ricky Nelson. Thanks Sandee!
Here's Sandee's comment and the link to Comedy Plus:
That would be Fabian. Wow, when he did the movie Ride The Wild Surf I was instantly in love. That hard body and big smile did me in. What a hunk he was.
I never follow the rules so I have a second hunk that really did it for me. Ricky Nelson. I loved the The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet television show, but Ricky made it a real hit when he would sing.
I dreamed about both of these hunks through my teenage years. What a wonderful question and thanks for a walk down memory lane.
My next blogger is Winston from Eat Your Maths:
Winston is one of my most cherished visitors. He faithfully tries to remember to play Tuesday's Question. When I began posting the weekly question, I received several messages from Winston saying he was sorry he forgot, again. When finally a few weeks ago he remembered, and rushed over to answer; only to find a postponement due to the memory of September 11th. He understood, but was disappointed to say the least , bless his heart. Pay close attention to his comment. Thank you again Winston for your undying loyalty and friendship.
Here's Winston's comment and link to Eat Your Maths
Hello Ann, I came here thrice and I was thinking, 'Why isn't there Tuesday's Question?' and it is here! Haha...
OK to tell you the truth, my 'years' were about 2-3 years ago only, so it shall be Britney :P
How are you, Ann?
My next Blogger, is the hilarious Whimsy girl, with whom I share a secret; Whimsy girl is the only blogger who knows where I got the nickname Slugger!
Don't get nay idea's about trying to bribe her either , because us woman stick together! Thanks Whimsy Girl! Here's Whimsy girls comment and the
MyWhimsyWorldLink
Hi Ann,
I love your question and even though I don't have an answer, I just had to play anyway! LOL I was the absolute nuttiest child on the planet - books and old movies and even old timey radio shows thrilled me when I was a kid and I had the biggest crush on "The Shadow" from the radio story show! We lived in Iceland at the time and after it was bedtime, I would turn on this radio and they played these old radio shows and he was SO suave. I would pretend I was in the radio show! It's where I first developed a love of acting LOL! So, no teen hunks for me - I mean, after all, who could compete with my hero . . . only the Shadow knows!
My next commenter I think is really a long lost sister we are so spiritually in tune with each other. One day when I was feeling lower than low not knowing what to do with my life as a empty nester, I decided to read the front page of a writers site I'd been having fun with. That site turned out to be Helium! (Which I think Christy is writing an ongoing post about right now, that you ought to check out.) Anyway, I read one of her articles on the front page and was blown away by how good a writer she is. That article lead me to Christy's Coffee Break, which inspired me to blog, and the rest is history. I thought I had been blessed with the knowledge of my place in the world and had, however my biggest gift that day was one of friendship.
Thanks Christy for your contribution to Tuesday's Question yesterday, in addition to your made to my life. Here's the link to Christy's Coffee Break
Christy's comment:
I just found out that you are exactly 11 years older than me because I was born in 1972! My husband was born in 1965, but I'm sure if I asked him he'd say he was too cool for the Partridge Family, lol.
So I guess I'm representing the eighties when I tell you I was in love with Michael Jackson. I'm talking about the days when he had a face. He was so cool, I even had the Micheal Jackson sparkly glove and learned how to do the moonwalk. I had pictures of him all over the wall, and I still remember his red "Beat It" jacket. hahaha...who new?
Also I was seriously in love with Morten Harket of A-ha and you can still see him posted over at my hangout - I mean bat cave. My love for Morten is eternal...lol.
Oh and one more...superman!! When I was eleven I went out and rented the whole line of superman movies and watched them about 20 times each, lol, I was so in love with Chrisopher Reeves...
How many hunks is that anyway?
Another fun question Ann!! Have a great night:)
My next visitor is new friend, talented blogger Marja from Dutchcorner. Marja and I have recently become friends, but I know this much about her. She's a great storyteller who writes of her family and life experiences all the way from New Zealand! She also posts uplifting inspirational poems and quotes that just make you feel good! Thanks Marja for your support and comment on Tuesday's Question:
Here's Marja comment and the link to Dutchcorner
That is definitely Julien Clerc
A French chanson singer with dark curly hair.
And last but certainly not least, another new friend and prolific writer, Patois from Whee! All The Way Home! A really talented and funny writer Patois has a Tuesday fun day herself, called Jump One, Jump Two, Tuesday, where you have a choice of two questions to answer! I said to myself when I saw her post, "Oh I see, I'm not the only genius around here!" Thanks for your comment Patois!
Here's Patois comment and the link to Whee! All The Way Home
All right, let's date myself. (Not like I could get a real date, right?) At the age of 8, it was Bobby Sherman. At the age of 10, it was Michael Jackson. Our "gangs" were divided down the Jackson 5 line or the Osmonds. My first concert? 10 years old seeing the Jackson 5.
Thanks again, to everyone who contributed to Tuesday's Question and to those of you reading. The world without all of you would be "a little colder" as The Beatles would say, and in The Rolling Stones words? "Tell The Next Time We Say Goodbye!"

That's right, my blogging buddies hit Tuesday's question right out of the park yesterday! It reminded of a time when a friend's son, Bobbarama a bat against a baseball so hard he sent it flying smack dab in the middle of a concession stand! There were two twisted sisters sisters totally-pissed-off about the whole thing. By the end of the day we were all so tired we went to Christy's Coffee Break to recover.
Anyway, getting back to my post, I hadn't any idea that so many of my readers could write comedy, plus such articulate posts? Tuesday's Question for several weeks now, and I've had remarkable responses, but yesterday really blew me away!
I'm proud of these talented bloggers, who took time out from their own blogs to answer my silly 'Tuesday Question!'
When I first thought of ways to connect with readers, I was told not to expect much in the way of participation, unless I was going to offer a healthy gratuity. However, my readers have proven that you can trust your instincts, especially when it comes to your friends.
I believe in friendship, and connecting with others, especially when I really like the people I've met. All of you are totally fabulous people, that I'm honored to know, and I will not likely forget, even when I'm famous. I will not forget that you stood beside me on my lonely walk to fame! Thank you so much for doing what is not an easy task, and something not many people have been able to do... render me speechless!
Here are the comments of the bloggers who commented with a link to their blog.
Please, help me show my gratitude for their friendship and participation, by clicking on their links and paying them a visit! Even if you already know the blogger, stop by and say hello.
Thanks to you all soo much, and be sure to join me again next week for my next Tuesday question. I'll try an find something fun to do ....
What's the story behind your first childhood kiss?
zubli zainordin, from Walks in Beauty and
What is the story behind my first kiss? I have been searching for it, and I am not able to trace it. Why? It was a flying kiss. Yet, now I am ready for my first real kiss. Then, I shall relate more...
insanity-suits-me (dawn), from Twisted Sister.... Totally Pissed off!
My first kiss.... ahhh the memories...
My first kiss was absolutely DISGUSTING! I was 11 years old and although I had a crush on this boy, apparently I wasn't ready to receive his wet, sloppy and drooly affections! I thought he was spitting in my mouth and all I could think was - "this is totally gross".
A year later that same boy kissed me again... his technique had improved and I have to admit I enjoyed it immensely! LOL
Ellen, from Positive Communication
ahhh Ann, what are you doing?? This is getting way too personal...
Now I will having to confess that..
I'm still waiting for my first kiss..
Really, really tried EVERYTHING: staying in bed for a couple of days pretending to be asleep, walking around with two big signs saying 'free kisses here', even went to the pond searching for some frogs.. NOTHING...
So.. I'll have to pass on this one...
Looking forward to experiences from others though.. just to experience it a little bit...
Christy, from Christy's Coffee Break,
My first kiss was at sixteen with the pizza boy. He was the most popular guy in his high school, super good looking, but there wasn't a spark to be found, lol. I was the envy of every girl in that high school for the next two years, so it was a worthwhile kiss! Now if you asked me what my BEST kiss was you'd hear a completely different story, lol. :)
Sandee, from Comedy Plus
Well Ann, I haven't a clue. I don't remember at all. I know there had to be a first kiss, but I really don't remember. So, it must have been a blah kiss. You know, not gross or great. Now if you want to talk about hot kisses, that's another story. I'll be thinking about this question for days I'm sure.
Bob, from Bobbarama.com
I'll always remember my first kiss, mostly because I missed in the dark with my eyes closed as I leaned in for the big moment and kissed her in her nostrils.
I still clearly remember thinking in the dark with my eyes closed, 'Where exactly on her face am I?'
I can't even begin to imagine what she was thinking.
Cathy, if you're reading this, just be glad I didn't know how to French kiss at that age --- twelve, was it? --- because we'd both still be having nightmares.
End-
Bob, I wonder what Cathy thought? (Laughing out loud)
I laughed myself silly at all of your answers! Thank you to all of you again, I could read this post over and over!
Maybe you noticed the links at the top of this post? This idea is the brainchild of the talented blogger from dcr blogs. He included me in his lost links post, and I wanted to see how well I could do it. You ought to try it its fun! How did I do dcr?
Plus, check out his blog, it's fun! dcr Blogs

What is your life’s musical score? What love song would you leave to your partner/husband/wife? What song would you leave to your children?
This was my Tuesday Question and here are your answers! I want to thank all of you who participated in answering yesterday's question.
You did a fantastic job of answering some pretty tough questions. The act of blogging involves many bizarre, funny, wacky, different, entertaining, and sometimes serious personalties, but everybody can relate to music and the words that go with it.
Bob Dylan said, "There is no music without the words" which I think serves as a metaphor for life, because for me there is no music in our lives without our words.
I am amazed at how close I feel toward other bloggers simply by opening up to them with my words.
When getting to know people on the internet, we lack the help of a familiar smile, and the mental telepathy shared in the look on a friend's face.
On the other hand, the art of writing is the most personal form of self-expression and bloggers write everyday, so we may be better friends for it. Writing requires putting yourself out in the open, and taking the risks involved, in much the same way we do with friendship. That is why I wanted to use the words associated with music to get to know all of my new friends better. I hope you found some blogs in my comments that you've never visited before, and if not, learned more about the writers behind the blogs that you know.
The following comments are so expressive and thought provoking you will be moved for sure. They were written by some of the best writers writing blogs out there in the land of blogging. I am lucky to have met such a great group of people, especially so early in my blogging career . Thank- you again for the entertaining days in the sun, and for allowing me to get to know you better! Here are your comments, enjoy,
My very first comment is from my good friend and wonderful poet Jos from NoDirectOn(not:NoDirection)

Oh boy, this is a hard one. I'll have to go back and do some thinking and listening for this. Music is even more important to me than writing or reading, or even blogging..lol!
To rephrase Bob Dylan: Without music, there would be no Jos.
It's is nice to see that all of the music you've mentioned before on your blog, like Mick Jagger, The Monkees, Dylan, S&G, Bread, etc., are apparently just as much 'top of mind' for you as they are for me, eventhough I grew up on the other side of the world. Music really has become a global/generation thing, hasnt it? And I like that.
Anyway, I'll drop in later. First I am going to listen to some fine music. Thanks for this question, Ann. It starts my day with music. :)
- Jos does come back , and he is not the only one who leaves for while to collect his thoughts, read on and see how the rest of my buddies do the exact same thing!
- It's too funny.

To the Love of My Life I would like to leave Elton John's Your Song:
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you - Jos said...

I'm sorry, I got cut of there...
As for the musical score of my life, I actually first thought of a song from Bob Dylan's great album No Direction Home (which has something to do with the name of my blog, too, but has to remain a secret:)
It's called The Chimes Of Freedom, and it somehow alays is with me, since it first came out. Here Goes:
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An' for each an' ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. (I'm a bit afraid your blogs gets an overload, today)
For my children (and actually really for EVERYBODY's CHILDREN, I would like to leave this one. You know who that is:
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
-Jos
- Thank you Jos and Tuesday's Question wouldn't be the same without you! (And on the other hand, I'm not sure I would neither)

this requires a little thought... i shall return!

This is so hard!!! My life's musical score is subject to change from day to day!
Some days it could be: Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
"Im all out of faith, this is how I feel - Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor - Illusion never changed into something real - Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn..."
And then other days...
"Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long..."
Maybe I have multiple personality disorder.. he he
The song I would leave to my daughter would be "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", because I'd want her to know that I am always watching over her and keeping her safe.
"Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight"
The lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don't fear my darling
The lion sleeps tonight"
The song I would leave for my partner...
The Promise by Tracy Chapman
"If you wait for me then Ill come for you
Although Ive traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
Then Ill return to you
Ill return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
Ill find my way back to you
If youll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place thats warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart"

Isn't that one of the greatest! Thanks again Dawn!

Hi Ann,
what a beautiful, beautiful question.. I do love music, it gives me strength, gives me joy, gives me energy at times of distress..
I must honestly say I'm almost afraid to answer it, just like your picture seems to indicate. It does get rather personal ;-))..
But here goes..
The story of my life:
Bette Middler's - The Rose:
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
The story I would like to leave my partner:
Bette Middler - Wind Beneath my Wings
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.
After leaving this comment, Ellen from Positive Communication
left for awhile too!
However, she did return later with this :

@Christy: Fame.. wow, I love it!! thanks!(good old memories coming back..)
Won't be able to get that one out of my head for a couple of days, though ;-)..
Sorry Ann, this question on what to leave my kids just doesn't seem to wanna leave my mind.. And well, just remembered that I already dedicated a song to my daughter (on my Dutch blog). It's India Arie's Video (though Strenght, Courage and Wisdom would do very fine too..):
I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
Read Christy's hilarious answer;
Christy, from Christy's Coffeebreak

Ann, this is the most awesome question ever, wow, I love it! It's neat to see what songs people are choosing. I am choosing what has been my "Christy Anthem" since I was twelve years old. It always lifts me up and puts me in that "I can touch the stars" mood. Feel free to laugh hysterically but it's.....
Fame (Everyone knows Fame right?)
Baby look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time I'll make you forget the rest
I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hands
Don't you know who I am
Remember my name
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name
Remember
Remember
Remember
Baby hold me tight
Cause you can make it right
You can shoot me straight to the top
Give me love and take all I've got to give
Baby I'll be tough
Too much is not enough
I can ride your heart til it breaks
Ooh I got what it takes
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly
High
I feel it coming together
People will see me and cry
Fame
I'm gonna make it to heaven
Light up the sky like a flame
Fame
I'm gonna live forever
Baby remember my name
Fame
Okay now I have to go and listen too it, lol. (Leaping through the air).

These are cool and you seemed to enjoy it. You should think about incorporating this kind of paper cut-out thing into a book.
