Smiles:) Barbara I would drop the semicolon and add a comma. I also would drop the dashes and remove the question mark from behind nose making it one sentence. Just some suggestions Title with question marks takes away I think. Is the theme about your eye or nose? or the deceptiveness described in this piece. Great theme.

I agree - I think the possum got into a tassle with the skunk. At least it isn't Buster that's going around stinkin'!

LMAO, Chuck

Depends on how close to that possum ya are lol Personally I would rather se a skunk as they are a bit more cute and I would not want to be that close to the possom. It all boils down to where my nose would rather be :) Mark
