A change is as good as a rest

my dearest Frenchfrog,
You have changed your avatar once again!! Is each picture a reflection of your personality which develops over a period of time!!!! Does the baby bottle have any Freudian significance??? (Please do not take this as a criticism or negative comment - just felt like writing). |

How sweet! How could it be a criticism or a negative comment?!!!
I like these frogs! Maybe they are a reflection of my personality!! I have many pictures of frogs and like changing them once and a while. Actually, I am going to change this baby frog right now!
I don�t usually pay attention to the possibility of a second meaning (or hidden message) in my frog pictures, let alone a Freudian interpretation... Maybe I should!!
I am glad you are keeping me company: I am sick and did not go to work this morning... I just couldn�t! I am caughing, sneezing, I am aching all over (I have to hold my chest while coughing because it is painful), I have a temperature ... It seems to be a milder version of the flu. Fortunately, I have an appointment with my GP later this morning.
By the way, I know you like powerpoints. Have you seen the powerpoints I made on Halloween? I really had fun making them!

There is a saying in English - don�t know if you know it, but it says "I�m as sick as a dog." Maybe we should change it to be "I�m as sick as a frog."
Don�t really do anything on halloween so I did not look at your presentations, but just downloaded the first one and it really is a continuation of your �flamboyant style�. I also like your use of triggers that makes it that bit more interactive.
One small tip though is to change the slide transition command on �Advance slide� and uncheck the option �on mouse click�. In this way, when folks accidentally click on a part of the slide that does not have a trigger then the presentation will not move to the next slide, or in the case of a one slide presentation it will end. If folks want to exit the presentation they can either press esc or enter - or you could put an exit button there.
Hope you get better soon and keep those creative juices flowing. It�s late evening here, so enjoy the rest of your stay at home!!!!

Hi guys,
I love watching the changing frog too. I thought it was a reflection of how you were feeling at the time - I saw you had changed it one day to a rather downhearted frog when someone was upsetting you. Another day it was jumping for joy and your posts seemed to have a very happy tone to them. Maybe I read to much into it - but I love watching out for how our frenchfrog is feeling!
AsI can see from your picture (and post) today you are feeling �under the weather�. so sorry to hear this frenchie. Take care, maybe lay off the snails for awhile... I hope you have someone nearby to make you a lemon and honey drink maybe with a side dish of chicken soup (although frog leg soup might put a real spring into you!)
hugs and lemon honey drinks from Vickiii |

Thanks for the tip, Michael! Powerpoints are quite new to me in fact! I am glad I have found some interesting options to use but I know there are so many more I am not aware of!! Actually, it would be great if you could make a tutorial to help us make our powerpoints more interactive!
Vickiii, you are so right, I have someone nearby... He made me a nice cup of herbal tea last night with some honey, cinnamon, a few cloves, and a dash of mandarin/tangerine liqueur!!! It was so good! I slept like a baby but woke up like a very old lady!! I was really aching all over (still am, in fact, but not as bad as this morning!).
Sometimes the pictures reflect my mood, sometimes they just don�t. Overall, I find these pictures rather funny.

P.S. I have eaten frogs� legs twice in my life ... so far... don�t really remember the taste ... not very far from chicken ... |
