Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.
I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!
I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!
Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!

I liked this fresh take on 'yellow', Matlock...ridiculous or not. :)
ReplyDeleteDo I detect here the start of a new meme: Haiku!
ReplyDeleteGreat fun!
XOXO LOLA:)
You'd think I'd learn my lesson! I wrote my yellow poem on line instead of doing it first in word in my computer. When I published it, something went haywire, half was missing and, as it was already 3AM, I was just too beat to try and remember the other half. I know better. So I sent it half a@%ed. Woe is me. Yours is cute.
ReplyDeleteJenny! This is wonderful - compact and filled with images and concrete feelings. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were still so trusting and pure that we believed a bandaid would fix it all?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder..........cj
Yellow... You are sunshine in my morning:). Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteLOL...perfect. I almost did a "yell OW" post but couldn't figure out how to make it fit. You did it and did it superbly! Hats off to you Jenny dear!
ReplyDeleteI think the heat is getting to us.
ReplyDeleteExploring your inner poetess I see. Is it just me or are folks reading waaaaay too much into this? It looks like a silly rhyme, it quacks like a silly rhyme, could it be it's just a silly rhyme?
ReplyDeleteSometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Except when it's not. (BTW, I have Looney Tunes, not Dora.) (OMG, that's gonna cost me, isn't it?) (I H8 THT U own TXT)
Interesting take on Yellow, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteSomething new and unusual for sure.
Enjoyed your Ode To Yellow. I hate to admit this, but I often buy the bandaids they make for kids because I enjoy wearing them. Besides, the flesh colored ones are so obvious when you wear them, so why not wear a fun bandaid.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Dora band aids have brought lots of tragedies to a close around here.
ReplyDeleteHa,ha, ha, ha. Great post.
ReplyDeleteJenny, dear, have you spent too much time with a hen this summer? I read that there is another strain of Avian Influenza out there, but I haven't heard that it manifests in outbreaks of poetry..........
ReplyDeleteFunny poem! I love how you added the Dora bandaids in there :)
ReplyDeleteWonderfully creative! I must say, you certainly stretching my creativity with this rainbow summer school.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
I stopped buying colored and themed bandaids because people kept using them for every little speck of an owie. haha. I did have a secret stash for me a while back though. :P
ReplyDeleteI love this itty bitty yellow ditty!
ReplyDelete')
i love kid's bandaids, i bought them for me even when i didn't have kids LOL :D
ReplyDeleteYou're too funny!!!
ReplyDeleteridiculously cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat were you drinking before you wrote that? I want me some! LOL! I give you an A+ for creativity!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are so clever with word, Jenny. Simple little things like this really do make me smile. ~ sarah
ReplyDeleteI bet your grandchildren love Dora. JDaniel doesn't know special band-aids exist yet or I would have to search for Curious George or construction equipment ones.
ReplyDeleteHmm...have another glass of wine Jenny?
ReplyDeleteTHIS was your ode to yellow? Jenny my dear this was a chicken's way out of dealing with yellow...yep, I'm saying Chicken!! Love you anyway!
ReplyDeleteO dear! Hello Kitty only band-aids here:(
ReplyDeleteLife really is all about the embellishments!!!!! Especially to us girls!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love to draw or put small stickers on the boo-boo helpers, what we call bandaids in my classroom! We also have a boo boo bunny made out of a wash cloth that we put ice cubes in for big boo boos. Love your little poem, might have to put it to a tune and sing it in my class!
ReplyDeleteWell, everything is better with Dora on it, right? Did your granddaughters like your little poem?
ReplyDeleteNot ridiculous at all, just alot of fun! You always manage to brighten my day Jenny. And we had "Wishbone" band-aids when Cait was little :)
ReplyDeleteDora is a tragedy. It is a tragedy that when I go for a band aid I have hot wheels, hello kitty, dora, or bakugan to choose from. It is a tragedy that I am not strong enough to tell me kid no - learn to live with a plain band aid. I remember it being a big deal when they came out with the clear ones!
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeletevery cute! my niece will only use dora the explorer band aids...we all have to keep a supply on hand to mitigate any issues!

ReplyDeletesuper brilliant.
ReplyDeleteDontcha just love the YELL OW's? Ya, me too :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think yellow could be so much fun. Either people are getting the hang of writing about a color, or....yellow just provided good blog fodder.
ReplyDeleteSuch an unconventional way to look at yellow! So funny. And of course, Dora fixes everything.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Very quirky and fun.... love the colorful bandaids.
ReplyDeleteOde to Yellow...oh yes...many bandaids have come to the rescue over the years at our place :o)
ReplyDeleteBlessings & Aloha!
I am squeezing this visit in before I head off to work! Cute! Have a wonderful Monday!!!
