Ah, my second-favorite of photo categories: "Blurry Dog."
My favorite category, of course, is:
"Blurry, un-named cat, with nondescript background."

I think these photos are submitted just for you, Jim.

I have not had time to post for quite some time, with Jaz visiting. We roamed Florida from Key West to the Kennedy Space Center (where we saw the shuttle launch). We took hundreds of photos, and I will be posting the best of mine in the next days and weeks as time permits. For today, I picked a More...

Good dog, Jawbone!
Another fabulous day here, sunny and crisp, but not a snowflake in sight. Geraniums STILL blooming in outdoor pots.

Good Afternoon to everyone!

Hello Jawbone!

We have been to a "retiree" breakfast about an hour south of us. It was nice to see friends. It was also nice to see the sun come out. It sounds like tomorrow morning will be a "white" one!!!!

Fiona, pardon an impertinent question from a mere colonial...

Isn't a knight an earned title, at one time bestowed only for great military service (and now for artistic, scientific and other achievements)?

I thought you had to be born into, or marry into, nobility, and that More...

Maybe Jawbones sees us as blurred images.
Good morning all. Looks like the sun is about to rise on a nice warm day. Certainly no snow around down here!!!!

Good afternoon to all! Hello Jawbone. Going through life with only one eye must be frustrating for you.

Jim, a great photo capture of those dolphins. I'm sure they came out just to entertain you and Jaz.

A husband stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully flossing his teeth. "Ooh!" he would sigh every once in a while, or "Aaah!" as the little thread did its work.
Suddenly and seemingly without provocation, his wife stomped into the bathroom and gave him a swift More...

CP: Take care and stay smiling!

Jane, I have a new grand niece too. She is Elsi Rose. Why is it that being a great aunt / grand aunt sounds to be way older and creakier than a grandma?

Funny, Jim, I immediately thought of you when I saw the photo and wondered what your reaction would be! Must be frustrating when you are so skilled at your art - unlike us mere mortals with poor eyesight and lack of experience!

Mr Collins defines 'nobility' as the following: "a socially or politically privileged class whose titles are conferred by descent or by royal decree"
Therefore one can become part of the 'nobility' if the King or Queen decides it.
Then, if we take the definition of 'knight' as More...

Jane.... Thanks for your concern, but my Dentist's office isn't open today.

Lots of correct answers coming in tonight; CG, Kathy, Mariane, June, Anne, Plum, Vici, Ian and Shiela. Too easy maybe?

Mariane - What's funny is that so many "grandmas/grandmothers" don't want to be called that anymore. I guess they're afraid they might be thought of as old. I don't mind being a "grand" aunt or a "great" aunt. I AM old, and I'm the first to admit it!!!! (creak, creak, creak....)

Fiona, I don't think we exactly agree, but neither does anyone else, from what I've been able to find out. One very important distinction seems to be that the title of "knight" cannot be inherited or bequeathed. Some references claim to incorporate the "legal" definition of More...

why don't we just say that I'm right then?

Well done KELLY! Keep knocking their socks off!!

What's your talented daughter been up to now then Greg?

Read your email Fiona.

Morning - time to go already, but just thought I'd say Hi!

to Kelly, Greg!

Of course you're right, Fiona!
You're always right.
Never, ever, wrong.
You are the expert in all things.
Take heed, people! Fiona the Fearsome must never be questioned!

A Knight is a honorary title, unless your father was an Earl or higher. It is not passed on to your children, to keep the Nobility less crowded. If you were made a knight you are an honorary member of the Nobility, but if you are in the military you are addressed Major Sir Joe. The rack is the higher rank.

Hi everyone.

Morning everyone.

Hi Kylz, welcome to sudokuland.

Hi Rolanda, how's your mum?
I'm glad to hear that her op went well and that she is now home with you.

Mum is doing ok.. she had a good sleep overnight.

Just did a patient check.. she is Sleeping Beauty at the moment.

Time to start getting into the Christmas spirit!
