OK, found out about this over at my good friend TRAVIS of "Trav's Thoughts" and even found out he did the button for this great idea.
Now the idea itself came from a 12-year old girl! She is "The Diva Daughter" of JENNIFER of "Dust Bunny Hostage".
You can click the link and head over to the post which explains it all.
Hey...POSITIVE is a most excellent thing!

On Independence Day, Nancy and I went down to her sister's for a wonderful day and Bar-B-Que. I snapped off a few pictures of these bushes that they have on their property.
Of course, I had no idea what they were. They were just colorful and the textures caught my eye. What did not catch my eye in many shots was that I had not adjusted for depth of field and the backgrounds are blurry. And I was not even drinking!
So, I grabbed this shot:

I tweaked it a bit and call it "Exploding Crype Myrtle" (because that is what they are called my Nancy informed me):

Jason Sadler of IWearYourShirt.com is spending 2009 as a human billboard and on Tuesday July 28th, he’ll be wearing his Got Blogstein? T-shirt.
Sadler has been selling the upper-half of his wardrobe (shirts). He’s selling every day of the year at face value, so January 1 was $1 and December 31 is $365.
Since Tuesday is Got Blogstein? Day, Sadler will spend the day blogging, twittering, facebooking and making videos all about Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour and all in his Got Blogstein? T-shirt. Then, he’ll spend the evening as our special guest co-host (which may explain the frightened look on his face!)

Bill Bradford is co-inventor of the Johnny Light, a soft green night-light, activated by a gravity switch when the toilet seat is raised.
The former nuclear power plant engineer began by selling from his car trunk and at women’s conferences, talking up ways to teach men and children how to solve the long-running “battle of the sexes in the bathroom — the seat-up vs. seat-down controversy, and to help women avoid the embarrassing night-time “splashdown” that sours relationships and creates “revenge” situations.
All that, plus:

Keeping with the RUBY theme...Roomful Of Blues from their debut THE 1st ALBUM...this song opens the show "Red, Hot & Blue"
ENJOY...
ENJOY...

I've always been fond of crype myrtles. They are beautiful when in full bloom. Great RT photo.
Isn't there a BBQ place called Red, Hot, & Blue? Love the song. Have a great day.
Positive rocks!
And those flowers are gorgeous.
Happy Got Blogstein? Day, VinBo!
..those flowers look much like the flowers of the Craig's Myrtle tree out here in Sacramento...and yes, I want one of those terlet lights!...
Positive Day? Uh .. okay, I guess. ;-)
OMG. Did. You. Say. *gulp* Adrian PAUL??!!!!
Sorry.....had to catch my breath there....*falls over from swooning*
I'm okay!
I never understood the whole seat up/seat down thing. To me, the only issue is that the toilet looks much uglier with the seat up. But seriously, if millions of women are too lazy to turn the stupid light on in the bathroom or at least check the seat position before sitting down, they deserve to fall in.
I love the badge Travis created, and it is a great idea
your exploding flower shot is very cool
Matt's gotta learn to spell. Have a great show.
OK so I meant Trav. Oops...
DRILLERAA: Not sure about the Bar-B-Q place
TRAVIS: It does rock and thanks
DOC: and to you
PHFRANKIE: So is Craigs Myrtle related to Crype Myrtle?
JAY: Glad to hear it
DESERT: Iffen you call in I can get you on the air with him
BECKEYE: Spoken like a woman who was never so tired she did not look and fell in
DIANNE: It is a cool badge and thanks
BUD: I spell BloGGosphere with two G's also...
I had negative day yesterday - just wanted to cry all dang day! So I needed that today.
BTW, you...the Music Maven...would probably know one of the songs we are playing at our next gig (I'd never heard it) by Cream: Can't Find My Way Home. Am I right?
TIGGER: Sorry for the bad day.
"C.F.M.W.B.H." is an Eric Clapton song actually done by Blind Faith.
When one is late to commenting, one must always say "also" like something. Dang I'm always late.
I also like the photo of the "Exploding Crype Myrtle"
Jason does look scared. Poor guy. I hope the broadcast goes well.
Ooooh I love "Can't Find My Way Back Home." I was a huge Cream fan, back in the 60s..
The nightlight for the potty is very creative.
That is a weird invention! Well I may have to listen back to this one to discover where on earth it came from and who bought it. I also loved Highlander.
Love your Ruby Tues pic.
The flowers offer a brilliant ruby today. And, if I may, I don't fancy a neon green view of the bowl. Not at all natural!
That's the cool thing about blog speak...one can make up new spellings all the time!
Thanks for asking the luscious Adrian Paul my questions. Fun show!
Exploding Crepe Myrtle sounds like a stomach bug :P
THANK YOU for posting the badge and the link. That just made my day and it's 1:31 AM... started off positive early!
