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

When You're the "Butt" of the Joke - - -

.

You might as well laugh. Feels a WHOLE LOT BETTER than screaming or crying.

Good thing I learned that lesson a LONG time ago - - - Fisherhubby gives me many chances to laugh at myself.

Just so you know - - - the WHOLE time (and it was a long time) I was working to plunge that marble boulder down, Fisherhubby was lying in bed watching and then filming me.

He's a big help!!

Oh well, the bathroom floor needed a good scrubbing anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! This is ONE more thing for which you can be thankful today - - - you didn't have to flush Mount Olympus down your commode before you went to your Thanksgiving Festivities.
