Very interesting post, Mike and reassuring to know that all the money we have given them was not pilfered. You are right, power does breed corruption even in our own government.
Awww, what a cute cat and such beautiful blue eyes.
Amen! BTW, this is very typical of the South, therefore, I feel just like this doctor. Why the hell should I pay for the health care of another person when I can barely pay for my own?
I do not go to church now but did attend Sunday school when I was a child. I do believe in a higher power but there are so many aspects of different religions that confuse me. To let you know how screwed up I am...my Mother was Episcopalian, my Daddy was a Christian Scientist, I became a Baptist after I married, then my husband switched to a Methodist church after our children were teenagers. I do not like others trying to force their beliefs on me. I am doing fine on my own, thank you very much. Sorry if I offended anyone.....this is why I do not normally discuss religion or politics.
Those were great but like Augusta I love the story about the swan and the boat. Animals never cease to amaze me. Beautiful
Very funny!
He is definitely a beautiful boy. Has Dobbie started being nice yet? Have any of your neighbors been looking for their lost cat?
Hollywood here we come. That is definitely a mind bender.
Early Happy Valentines Day to you too, Fredo! That is a very beautiful, colorful rug in the background.
That's priceless...I love it!
I have learned lots of new words from crossword puzzles.
That's great news. I floss regularly so maybe I'll live to be 100! Speaking of acronyms...did you know "BTW" that eggs are now good for you? Due to science, eggs now have less cholesterol and more Omega 3 which makes them healthier for human consumption. Our government has been telling us for years that eggs were bad...now they are good. More government double talk.
Congratulations on making 25 years! If couples now can make it 5 years, it's a miracle. There has to be a lot of "giving in" and couples today don't want to make the effort. This May we will be coming up on our 47th; I hope we live long enough to make 50.
You know when you are delivering flowers, everybody is happy to see you.
