Daffodil Simplicity - Free Flower Email Stationery Download and E-Card
The Romans conquered Britain despite their love for daffodils:
Roman generals and soldiers arrived on the shores with narcissus stems and bulbs aplenty, which they rubbed on their wounds — believing, it seems, that the sap would help when, in fact, sharp calcium oxalate crystals in it did more harm than good. Imagine how much further into the highlands the Imperium Romanum could have stretched without that daffodil baggage!
So the story goes. Aulus Cornelius Celsus, in his encyclopedic De Medicina, does, after all, mention the skin-soothing qualities of narcissus roots and seeds…
In any event, daffodils are on the British isles today — and in your emails, too, beautiful all the way:

He fasted one bottle to his body after the other, all filled with dew and sealed well.
Outside, the sun would propel the dew upward: the dew on the bloom petals, the drops on the trees’ leaves, and the dew in the bottles, too. So it happened in Cyrano de Bergerac’s The Other World that Cyrano took off toward the sun.
Today, we have to rely on rockets and their burning propellants to deliver us to space, of course — and to deliver us the emails fast:

How to Open an Email in Its Own Window in Gmail
“Too bad. I think I saw something interesting…”
This little thought’s not stupid: it knows you subscribed to the newsletter for a reason.
The thought, Mr. Interested, is not stupid, but it lost the race. Another little thought was faster to the # key, as always: Ms. Efficient knows the chances you will spot “something interesting” are dismal, and not worth another second.
Mr. Interested is prepared: “Too bad. I think I saw something interesting… pressing z would bring it back, I think.” So z is hit.
How would you — and how would Mr. Interested — like it if you could delete an email and continue reading it, too? In Gmail, this is surprisingly easy. Let the race to Ctrl-W and Command-W begin:

“In Paris they just simply opened their eyes,” Mark Twain reports in a letter to the editors of the New York Herald after his 1867 voyage to Europe and the Middle East with a group of pilgrims, “and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language.”
While Mark Twain gives an example, please restay trankeel watching your new email program or service continually failing to understand your address book speaking Eudora. It is, usually, possible to have them talk a common language:
