It helps lot of people to some interesting facts. <a href="http://www.planningmyweddingday.com" rel="nofollow">Wedding etiquette </a>can sometimes be weary; however it is important particularly at traditional weddings that we track all the rules that come with the wedding. One of the most irritating things is to see people move around or checking out their watches every second like they have somewhere better to be. Doing or performing in such a way is rude and wrong.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794527532957721507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-6368730157952707702010-01-08T13:54:31.470-07:002010-01-08T13:54:31.470-07:00Dear Audrey,

A beautiful white mouse. I knew at once it could only be Mouse Emily Wallflower. I marveled, as I have so often in the past, at the Animal apparitions that are constantly around us... You can look forward to not only hearing from but seeing dear Mouse Emily in the future!Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-55060549609172995292010-01-07T10:53:56.734-07:002010-01-07T10:53:56.734-07:00I do hope we will be treated to more advice from M...I do hope we will be treated to more advice from Mouse Emily Wallflower. As Monster E. knows, I am a fan of all things etiquette and have my own beloved and much-thumbed edition of Emily Post. I confess to giggling at some of the finer points, so Mouse Emily Wallflower's impish spirit makes me especially happy.Professor Bilgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814324979749733906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-69637721253567075022010-01-07T09:28:53.796-07:002010-01-07T09:28:53.796-07:00Margot from Pinky:

And guess what? She responded to me in Mouse Fairy form as Mouse Emily Wallflower! And I have come to learn that wallflowers can have quite a mischievous side...<br /><br />Mouse Tulip from Mouse Emily Wallflower:<br />Your situation is drastic. Young Monsters delight in turning rules into battles, and at this fever pitch, your situation requires changing the nature of the battleground! As a Mouse Fairy who loves an orderly bathroom, you are entitled to take the following actions:<br /><br />1. Do not ever replace the toilet paper roll, but carry a supply with you in your own lovely bath bag which may hold other personal bath items as well. (If you do not have a supply of bath treats like bubbles, fragrant bath balls, and toys, start buying them or making them now until your bag is full.)<br /><br />2. You have several options with the wet towels. One is to scatter them in odd places - like on the walkway to the house, or hanging from a tree uin the yard ntil there are no towels left in the house (except for the one in your closet) or the nearly-teenagers remove them and wash them, whichever comes first. <br /><br />You will explain that there is no way for Mouse Emily Wallflower to keep herself from playing pranks when she sees such inharmonious social and material disorder.<br /><br />With BEST wishjes,<br />Mouse Emily WallflowerEberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-57493681290609440372010-01-06T22:37:50.917-07:002010-01-06T22:37:50.917-07:00I would appreciate Pinky passing on Emily Post'...I would appreciate Pinky passing on Emily Post's advice on bathroom etiquette. Say when said bathroom is shared by 5 people including 3 teenage, or nearly teenage girls. Pinky, would you and Emily consider wet towels left on countertops, and NO toilet paper left on the roll to be pleasanter? Common sense? Hmph. I do hope that armed with that noble tome you shall be more successful than I at making that social machinery run smoothly. Please fax book this way. Yours truly, Mouse TulipUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826633321048805947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-26487818309317769812010-01-04T18:10:10.663-07:002010-01-04T18:10:10.663-07:00Dear Sandra,

I had no idea myself when I sat down to write something for the blog that this had all taken place. I do love being surprised by the Animals! One reason I finally decided to help Platypuss get started with this blog was a desire for a writing project that would be more light-hearted than the states I usually get into about writing - less long-term and less goal-oriented, nothing I could stress too much about. <br /><br />I love what you said about ancient Greece! I do feel echoes of the very distant past in the imagination of Big Bed Land. And there might be a reason for this - I learned recently that ancient puppet theater preceded human theater, with evidence going back possibly 10,000 years. Animal figures in drama, like dolls, which also made up part of sacred ceremonies in pre-classical Greece, have a real place in the shadows of the imagination...Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts!Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863431760746065200.post-158678105304679222010-01-04T17:50:00.141-07:002010-01-04T17:50:00.141-07:00What a privilege, to listen to the good folk of BB...What a privilege, to listen to the good folk of BBL as they ponder these weighty matters. It's like being transported to ancient Greece and sitting in a corner, listening to Socrates himself. And how magical it is that Emily Post's <i>inscribed</i> book should appear just when it was needed!Sandra Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052047359365369942noreply@blogger.com
