    I wonder who's doing all the protesting, Elizabeth? Anyone I know? Great image by the way, but maybe too cryptic for me. Not Lady Macbeth but the present allusion.

    Elisabeth: Being anything other than cryptic would be succumbing to mediocrity in this case. I've been hankering to use that quote for a while, and so it's a bit for me.

    Single Dad/Disabled Daughter: I can think of some other Shakespearean quotes for your situation!

    We all protest too much from time to time, I suppose. :)

    Beautiful photo, and beautiful orchid!

    The light shining through that orchid is incredible! And hey, how could you possibly go wrong with Hamlet?

    Mmmm...Ham....let me have some.

    Got a head shrinking appointment today. Gonna ask what all of this means, cause once you start up with Shakey I'm lost.

    I like comic books.

    Sadly, seems like the world (or the small part of it I know) thrives on conflict....don't know why. Can one derive meaning from being in conflict? I hope not....
