Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 22, 2009

Awkward group hugs are scary.

Did you set up the Dreamcatcher properly? I have authentic ones in two rooms, including my bedroom, and they work just fine. I like your oversized sweater….

[Aside @judyparka: I’m not a Brit; my Profile locates me. Just picked up a few Brit usages along the way….]

I much prefer awkward grope hugs.

What is a dreamcatcher?

Install nightmare deflector adjacent to dreamcatcher.

A Dreamcatcher is an Indian (or First American, to be P.C.) sacral object; mine are from the Lakota people.

haikumiku, you must be awful young. In the early 90s, they were everywhere.

Margueritem, maybe your next avatar could be a dreamcatcher. Then we’d all know what one looks like. (I wish goComics would double the size of the avatars. So many of them are so great.)

All right, Gweedo and Doc!! Now this movement needs a Pro or two to give us some clout. Next time I get a spam selling me something to make my avatar bigger, I just might sign up.

That sweater is perfect for a Minnesota winter (This August has been sooo cold, I’d wear it now!)

I knew you would come through, Marguerite. Thanks. It’s beautiful. A spiderweb for dreams.

You are welcome, Ray.
