Oh here I am practicing answering a question!

from Roberta's Pearls · host Roberta Guthrie and Tim Timmerman

Hello my friends! So, before being exposed to the onslaught of questions and help-seekers I'm sure to encounter, I thought I would practice doing a radio podcast. So listen in as I answer a REAL QUESTION that was sent to Dear Abby. Hopefully she won't be too worried about the competition. Or is she dead? I remember either Abigail Van Buren or Ann Landers did pass. Oh my why can't I remember such things? It's not kind to forget peoples deaths. They were twins you know and both very smart, wise and lovely. Wouldn't that be neat? Having a sister who looks like you? (Well, not if you were a man.) What fun you could have playing tricks! Well, it would be fun that is if your sister was decent, polite, and thoughtful when she visited (did not just show up but gave you some warning), gave you gifts that were as nice as the ones you gave (not just store bought from Target)... but that is an all together different matter isn't it? What do they say? My train just jumped tracks!- so sorry radio listeners. I love love love I love love love Opal yarn! Look at all those pretty colors. They look like flower bouquets! It's a little pricey but I think it comes from Europe and it's expensive to live there and it costs a lot of money to fly things in an airplane. Any way, my neighbor Saul surprised me coming over this time and Mr. Chriples says hello on this one too. He's a good bird, but it took me twelve years to learn you can't teach a love bird to say "give me a hug." I'll be honest, I was disappointed. My goodness this whole computer thing and how I can send you messages and record my voice on the inner net is like magic, now if they can only teach babies to change their own diapers! Some things would be much more helpful than others. Just pointing out the obvious here. Mr. Chirples Mr. Chirples looks like this but is in a cage and not in nature. Well, know that I'm concerned about all of you and hoping that your eyes aren't hurting too bad from staring at these lit up screens all the time. It's like everyone is always playing with a lite-brite. Well, I could suggest knitting, needlepoint, or quilting, but that won't help your eyes either! My goodness my eyes get so cross eyed I look willy-nilly! A BIG HUG and a kiss to you- and say your prayers because no one else will do that for you! Aunt Roberta Guthrie
