I am gaining so many new readers that I felt I should take a moment to share "The Best of Saur", so that you know what you're getting into. It is said that I am known for my wit, writing, insight into the human condition, big heart and yet complete lack of tolerance for fools. I hope so. I am definately an equal-opportunity offender, sometimes without intending to be.I am the product of New York parents, but I was raised here in the heart of Florida. I've had many marvellous and unusual opportunities which have given me unique insights into the world (and life in general).
I have all types of friends and readers, who range in interests and personality. The only commonality is that there is something which brings them back. What is it? I can't say. But perhaps this will give you some insight into me.

Please don't leave comments in those individual posts, as I rarely get around to checking them and probably wouldn't reply when I eventually got around to seeing them. Just drop a comment or question in here, and I'll be happy to answer!

LOL and for those of us who have been faithful readers, it's a refresher course in everything "Saur" .....:)
TSB, thanks, sweetie. I have greatly enjoyed interracting with you. I'm glad FTS introduced us!
I cannot believe you have written so many posts! To think, I have read every single one! You still manage to surprise me. Thanks for your help on sweetnsaur. It has been over a week, but I jumped in and posted a new thread last night. Of course, I waited until you cleaned things up a bit. Yes, I know, call me a chicken.
It's that "complete lack of tolerance for fools" that I share in common with you. :)
Keep on offending one and all; it's your style!!
Hey, if it's the truth... it's the truth. You have the nerve to say it, and that's a gooood thing.
How did you find all this stuff? Did you go through every single post to this blog and group them into topics?
I am FAR TOO LAZY to ever do anything like this.
Everyone
Saur will be away for a day or two. She will check in as soon as she can and hopes you are all having a FUN and SAFE holiday weekend!!
Saur,
When I see all the words you've typed here it really makes me wish I hadn't sat between two cheerleaders in typing class.
Yea right Mr. Gator. I believe you.
Brainless cheerleaders rule :)
You've given me a lot to read here. I'm going to have to bookmark just this post! But I will get caught up eventually.

I hope everything is okay. Have a safe Memorial Day!
That's a lot of reading. I'll get around to it eventually!!
your icon looks like the lady from Romey and Michelle's HS reunion haha! the fashion one
Looks like I missed a few while on vacation. Off I go to read...
AQ and Everyone,
Saur is fine. Like me, she has a major project going on at home. While I am makeing home IMPROVEMENTS, Saur is making a FIX.
I will let her tell you the long and horrid story, but she is fine.
This is great, Saur! I've started reading on these links. I think you should link this permanently on your sidebar for new readers.
Much love,
Beav'
Oh, yeah, and by the way, your spelling of saurkraut is correct.
In german, (where it's obviously from), there is no E.
Viel Liebe,
Castor!
wow!!
I am just dropping in to say hi and that I haven't forgotten about you. I plan to catch up soon!
Much Love!
Hey there, just dropping by to say HI ... I have been neglecting many of my blog-friends lately, and am dropping by as many as possible, commenting, or just saying hi.
Hope you have a great week.
Take care, Meow
Arg sourco, just one more faceless corporate giant swallowing up the bloggosphere?
Well, I am a fan of Saur, and think you can click on any of her posts and see her at her best!
That's a lot of greatest hits...
Daniel, and you should hear me sing! ;o)
Reverb, glad you like it. I like making things easy to access for people; it comes from my marketing background, I suppose.
Barbara, Thank you very much, hon. And I, yours!
Alex, ahh, one can only hope. ;o)
Meow, I understand. You're busy, so am I right now. I'm happy to see you, though!
Eddo, I'm so glad you did. *hugs*
Beav, Hey! There's a neat factoid! Thanks! I mean, er, yeah! I knew that! And I was thinking about putting it in my sidebar. Now it's there, with both the link and text as a link. I'll keep it freshened up as time goes by. :D
Michelle, thanks for the help! You're doing great in Sweet N' Saur. Keep it up! You rock!
Fred, well, you did disappear (and were very missed) for quite a while!
Susie, ;o) See my note to Reverb. I guess that's why. After all, only I am responsible for my own publishing. I might as well do it right!
Phats, Yeah, but I'm meaner and smarter. :D Welcome!
Angel & Miss C, take your time. It's probably a novel's worth! Just read what you like. There's no quiz tomorrow.
AQ, thanks for the concern, sweetie. As you'll see from the post today (5/30) it's been a rough couple of days.
Lazy Iguana & Gator, How typically male. I don't know what I'd do without you neanderthals.
Lazy Iguana, I did a list like this before my surgery in November. I checked it and updated it, removing what I didn't like any more.
Jamie Dawn, thanks, hon! Your blog is another gem, so it's great praise (coming from you).
I am so jealous, you and Patrick with your massive readership. (Even if you DO deserve it.)
3 Score & 10, thank you! Well, you'd have a bigger readership but you don't have as much time to blog. When you DO, it's worth the read, that's for sure!
Mr. F, thank you, thank you *blushing*
