Djinn by Rene Bauer


I am Lord Helpme, here because I could no longer ignore you calling my name. 

Do I know you? What's your problem, lady?...lordhelpme! this and lordhelpme! that. This is a huge network; I am amazingly busy. If you need something, for godssake put it on your damn Wishlist. 
And have your credit card number ready.

    Hilarious! Love it! When my daughter was little I used to think, there was a creature called "Notme" living in our house. Funny thing, she was an only child. (Hugs) Indigo

    G-Man~ Thanks much, and, as always, thank you for hosting all this fun and comaraderie. :)

    Brian~ Not exactly. You can always share your Wishlist and hope that others will oblige. :)

    izzy~ Thanks. Great image to work with, don't you think?

    Raven~ No kidding! Agree about that genie...nicely done. :)

    Stickup~ Your comment made me laugh so hard! Thanks for that. :0

    hedgewitch~ And your comment totally cracked me up. Join me in a rousing chorus of When the Saints Come Marching In?

    Mama Zen~ I am glad! :)

    Fireblossom~ You are? I should join you, as maybe you have a technique that will snap this neck back into alignment! (guess who will be visiting a chiropractor soon, for the first time in decades...)

    Indigo~ Oh, I know some Notmes! Some of them grow up to become Itwasn'tmyfaults, although I am sure your were a wonderful mother and prevented your daughter from carrying it into adulthood. :)

    Lord Helpme sounds a bit cranky ... but who could blame him?

    Sad. All very sad. Sadly. Sigh!

    susan~ "Ingenious" is the right word for that image, most definitely! Glad you had fun with this.

    Jennifer~ 'zactly, who could blame him.... I guess we are ultimately more powerful, as we can choose not to call him! :)

    Hmm. I certainly hope the word pictures I yell out when frustrated DON'T show up like Lord Helpme did. I'd be in big trouble..

    All your posts this week are incredibly fantastic, Lydia!

    bfk~ Your word pictures are far finer than Lord Helpme, even when you are frustrated.
    I love your visits and really appreciated your compliment.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
