Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Orange You Glad?

.

This here's huntin' country.

This fall Fisherhubby was amazed at the number of nurses in the ER who planned their days off around hunting trips, field dressed, and brought home a buck.

We giggled when we heard radio stations sponsoring "Show us Your Rack" contests - - - and though the pun WAS intended, they really were sponsoring a "biggest antlers" contest.

Well, today as I was going about my girlie business of getting my nails done, I heard THIS commercial on my car radio - - - TWICE!!! This is as close to verbatim as I can quote it:

Don't get SHOT in the woods
because your white toilet paper looks like a deer tail.
Get your ORANGE toilet paper here
And never look like a white tail deer again!

Really? Orange toilet paper?

I have to shake my head.

Now THIS is one of the oddest things I've seen (and I've been around the block a few times). What ever happened to using leaves?
