The Little Black Box

Vanilla gave me this lovely award (thank you!!):

And she tipped me off about these fun albeit addictive little widgets...
And please drop by Caroline's new book Black Boxes







Click on the box... right on DECIDE... make your choices and see where your path may take you!

Visit HERE if you'd like to add a Little Black Box of your own.

I am compelled to admit it. I am completely addicted to this new form of travel and friend finding. The only reason I stopped long enough to write this post was because someone's Little Black Box brought me home to my own page. Now, it's time to go again.

If you found your way here via a Little Black Box, then please let me know; say hello, and tell us where you are from!

    I do like them too except when I'm 'twined' with one that is in a language I can't read! Very frustating. But at least I can look at their pictures ;)

    If, when I click "visit the mystery blog" I don't go to another blog, does that mean I am visiting you, Scarlett?

    *****WELCOME ALL NEW BLOGGERS!*****


    Hi Laura,

    Glad you came by! Aren't they something?!


    Helen,

    I'm glad you found me! I'll drop by your page too.


    Confused,

    Oh yea... highly addictive is exactly right!


    Sameera!

    Isn't it too much! Too much!
    I love it. Glad that you added one.


    Hello Bill,

    Loved your page. Boxing Day just got a LOT more popular... HA! Kidding. Kind of.


    Hey Suburbia!

    Well, I haven't hit one of those pages yet, but I am sure that I will eventually, as much traveling as Viaggiatore and I have been doing!


    Hello Fire Byrd,

    Well thank you! That's very nice.
    That Lion is named Viaggiatore; it's Italian for voyager. We love the beach out of our front window there.
    Magic Carpets huh? Nice!


    Leslie,

    I entered my url into the box, so sometimes you will land on my page; but not always. If you did, you could redo it and it will take you somewhere else.


    Hey Rel!

    Yah... Leslie had that same experience. Just keep black boxing, it will take you somewhere else. But come back eventually, okay!


    Hi Young Werther,

    Thanks for coming by! G'day... are you from the land down under?


    Green Jello,

    GOOD! Like minded people are fun to connect with, and unlike minded people are good to learn from (whether you agree or not). Glad to have you here.


    Vanilla,

    Are you going to start a Little Black Box support group soon? It's bordering on dangerous now.
    ;o)


    Gingela5,

    Hello! It is *SO* addicting!
    Thanks for stopping by!


    Auntie Gwen,

    Oooooh and how. Here we go again!

    Exactly.
    Regarding qualification. Short is no big deal and baseball is good (except here in the Puget Sound region). While I have been on ships, planes, trains and submersible dive saucers - I've never been in a limo. Altho a few have almost hit me, but that's neither here nor there.

    Paso doble or tango?
    Fox trot or waltz?

    What a handsome Lion! I got here via the box...I have been looking this evening for another lion somebody made which I didn't bookmark...so I will pass back into the ether. Coming back to your own blog is like the end of Little Gidding, when the end of all our journeying is to arrive where we started and to know it ofr the first time..paraphrase, too late to look in the Norton Anthology.

    I am feeling very insecure!
    I click on the black box, decide, I make my choices, I get to the place where it says mystery blog, and when I click on it, all I get is a pop up warning. I never go anywhere.
    I have added my url, my choices, done all possible combinations...
    I am perplexed.
