And This Year's Golden Cup Goes To.....


Emily Swanson of New Haven, CT won this year's Golden Cup for the Long Island Sound "Miss Swimsuit" Competition with her form fitting two-piece and coordinating socks. The judges claimed it was a difficult decision to make, but their deciding factor was based on the assumption that Miss Swanson's swimsuit would be least likely to cause drowning. Betty Mulson of Brooklyn, NY was awarded the Silver Cup for second place. Henrietta Stillhouse of Bridgeport, CT took home the coveted third place award of a floral parasol, while Marge Wilson of Stony Brook, NY won tickets to see the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall for fourth place.

Tootsie Tuesday

Tootsie, along with her co-workers, have received a blog award!  Matty @ MattyThoughts apparently enjoys the nonsense that goes on here at the offices of TY&B enough to acknowledge us with the "I Give Good Blog" Award, and we thank him tremendously for that!  Who doesn't like receiving an award!  They certainly don't come banging on our door every day (never mind week, month, year or decade).



There was one criteria though that was attached to this award which was to recognize four blogs that we enjoy at TY&B.  Now, here is where the dilemma sets in.  Tootsie (along with the other two execs) enjoys every one of the blogs we read regularly and giving out only 4 awards will slight some very well deserved blogs, but we also don't want to disrespect the tradition attached to the award we received.  Due to this dilemma, we did a bit of detective work, only to find out when looking closely at the award through a magnifying glass, it originated from a blogger we are not familiar with.  Does this blogger know her award has reached far beyond her corner of the blogosphere?  (Matty probably didn't realize this crucial piece of information since it was our dilemma that caused us to take such a close look in the first place.)   So, the question is, would we at TY&B want an award we passed out to go to unknown blogs?  We decided the answer was no.

But.....

We also know how fabulous it feels to receive an award, so Tootsie came up with her own award to acknowledge the blogs that started things rolling for us here at TY&B. Those blogs that we thoroughly enjoyed when we began blogging which were springboards to other fabulous blogs that now grace our blogroll.  So, to continue the tradition of 4 recipients, may the following bloggers come forward to accept your "Tootsie's Rave" Award.  You may take your award home by copying and pasting it to your blog, if you so choose, but if you decide to admire this award in private, please be sure to put it somewhere safe, so as to keep any thieves from snatching it away from you.



for being the first blog that caught our attention with his unique topic selection added with that special twist of sarcasm and humor.
for her humorous take on political figures along with her spectacular Photoshop talents. 

for her delicate writing style about an indelicate topic that we all are most interested in.
for his hysterical writings, his adorable face, and fun-loving bunch of co-workers.
Where are you Alpo! 


BTW....this award has no attachments.  You need not do anything but enjoy it for what it's worth.

For Scatterbrained Bloggers



I just came across the best website.  If you're anything like me, I sometimes forget where I have left comments around the blogosphere.  Do you do that?  Well, there's a website that keeps track of it for you so you don't have to rely on your aging memory. I just added it to my google toolbar for easy access.

Just type the following in your url window: www.backtype.com/url/www.yourblogurl.com  (ie: www.yorksnbeans.blogspot.com)


Note:  I just realized this site only follows wordpress blogs. I don't believe you will find comments made on blogger blogs. Correct me if I'm wrong, if you know otherwise.
