Hey Mermaid...have you seen this?:biggrin:

I have to admit I never even noticed the mermaid on Starbuck's coffee cups! I'll have to stop and get a cup of coffee on the way home from work tonight just to see what the commotion is all about :floor:

Talk about over-reaction. I knew the Starbucks logo was a mermaid from googling "mermaid" when I'm on the hunt for new avatars. The Starbucks history is kind of interesting--the head shot is a sanitized version of the original, which, as before, is causing controversy. :roll:

Isn't that the truth? In Europe there are boobies all over the place and frankly, after you've seen one, you've seen them all. (Or, as Merman just wisecracked, if you've seen two, you've seen them all :roll: .) Big Snooze!! But on the other hand, Europeans are truly shocked at how casual we are about violence on TV, in magazines, etc. I go with the Europeans. What's so big about flesh? What IS big is all the violence in our society...funny strange world we live in.

EXACTLY!!!
Someone told me that when I went to Europe to watch out for pick pockets..they have made an art of it...but you don't have to be afraid that someone will pull out a knife or a gun and kill you for pennies to help their crack habit

Back to the discussion of starting to see Mermaids everywhere (like on the Starbucks sign), we saw this at Seagrove Market. BJ wanted to buy it for you. (Photo isn't very clear -- I took it with my cell phone).

Beach Jacket is a well brought up daughter to be so considerate of her mother's friends. :clap_1:

Every time I go into the Seagrove Village Market, I look at all those mermaid children's books and have to slap myself to stop from buying one! My own daughter said to me about the mermaids--"Stop it Mama. You're going to scare people with all this mermaid stuff. You're getting like those old ladies who have cats...except you have mermaids." OUCH OUCH OUCH!!! (It's obvious I have a daughter who doesn't hold back, isn't it? :lol: )

My dearest Mermaid, every where I go and every time I see a mermaid, I think of you...that is a powerful thing...because I know I am not the only one...everyone on this board does the same...which means you are thought of quite often! :wub:

EXACTLY. I saw the most beautiful platter that had a mermaid on it last year at Christmas. I couldn't think of a thing to get my family yet I saw things thru the season that reminded me of people on the board. Does that make us a bit weird? :idontno:
