   The Plexus Puzzle was a great jigsaw - Thanks! And I'll be checking out the rest.
   Who cares that we didn't get a game today - This more than makes up for it!

   Great finds!

   Hmmm, Johnny Appleseed thought Bobby's thread would attract a lot of interest. What happened? Not meaning to hijack but maybe blended with educational resources will generate interest? Any homeschooling types out there? One free, one not:

   Hey Bobby,

   Thanks for the links. I love that music made from the XP and 98 sounds. That really is so creative!

   I've been meaning to say thanks for the links, but I was kind of embarrassed. :[ These are supposed to be for kids and I spent a couple of hours, off and on, trying to complete the Plexus Puzzle. I finally threw in the towel and gave up after getting only about 60% of the pieces to attach together. I think my largest cluster was 4 pieces. Oh, well...I did terrific with Falling Sand! LOL :D Thanks!

   A discovery in the Internet Archive :
   "LibriVox recording of Poems Every Child Should Know, edited by Mary E. Burt. Read by Kara Shallenberg.

   This anthology of poetry, published in 1904, contains such favorites as The Raven, My Shadow, and The Village Blacksmith, as well as many lovely poems that may be unfamiliar. Most of the poems in this collection are short enough for children to memorize."

    Hi Locket, that's nice.
    I like particularly the "Original", that's like a TUT and
    induces to try it by your own.
    Even the other two Flash Experiments on that site are good and funny.

    Everybody knows Johnny Appleseed luvs optical illusions cause they make him cross-eyed and that helps clear his sinuses. Here's a nice, big collection. It contains one that's perfect for kiddies who like dragons! (and who have parents with a color printer and plenty of green ink)
