Photo comment: "Look into my eyes... you are getting v-e-r-y sleepy, when I count down from five you will be in a deep trance and under my control. 5-4-3-2-1... okay, now listen up, set the lighting for partially cloudy, f8 at 1/120... got that so far? Put it on macro since I'm pretty close More...

"HEY! The rest of you out there that stared at the photo... go solve the rest of the Sudokus...
5-4-3-2-1... WAKE UP! Yeah right... 'nice lookin' kid,' thanks, go on, do the 'medium' GO!"

for all the birthday wishes. I am so glad that there are no calories in cyber-birthday cakes. I had a piece of each one!

And special thanks to Rayray for his Ode to Gath and for using the wealth of English language with such a sense of fun.

Mamacita - I think I heard that your Eagles barely pulled it out?!! Whew.

ODE to GOOD KING GATH
Great King Gath hath,
like Hal and Wenceslas before him,
tamed a whirling surge of time, which,
like reactive force from ascending rocketry,
countered normal earth More...

Good Mean,
Cute boy. Looks like he is Nepalese. Nepal is a beautiful country. I was lucky enough to see it before the royal family was destroyed and it was still safe.

Thanks again to all the members who left lovely welcome messages for me last night.
What a great bunch of people.

Rayray, you poem was very moving. I have printed it out to save. Thank you for so eloquently expressing what most of us feel.

OOP! "your" poem

The poem I was referring to was, of course, the Poppies Poem. Enjoyed the Gath tribute, too, of course!!!

Hi Kathy,
I woke up in the middle of the night and had to jump online and put in a message and see if I got on the first page.
Isnt it terrible. My first day as a member and already I am consumed with the first page ideals....
The cutie,,, if talking about the photos, they are my 3 children. 3, 6 and 7 years old.
Love the muscle suit.

2:39 Good Morning Sudokuworld. How are we all this morning?

DON'T SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS TO "RECOVERING SOLDIERS" AT WALTER REED HOSPITAL!

An e-mail has recently been making the rounds asking people to send a Christmas card to a "recovering serviceman" at Walter Reed Hospital. If you get this e-mail, do NOT forward it on. See More...

2.06 lovely warm hat for that cutie

Some appreciative person has reposted my Gath tribute. It wasn't me. Strange

Rayray - Maybe it was Gath! hehehehe

Not me either, but I was glad to not have to go back to yesterday to find it. Nicely done.

Well, Rayray, you did post it rather late yesterday. I did have to search for it. So some kind soul decided that such a great poem should go on earlier so that more could enjoy it!

WON! 31-28
I was a nailbitter
Mama's Eagles won too!33-24
Its all good!

RAYRAY, I am glad they did repost the poem, saved me backing up to find it! Lovely poems , both of them, thank you.

everyone.

hope you are all having a wonderful day/night where ever you may be in this wonderful world of ours.

Thank you to all of our Veterans today
Bless you

Thanks Jane for the info

I am climbing from the pit of despair to congratulate Mamacita on the Eagle win
Credit where credit is due, and all that.
sob!-CON-sob!-GRAT-sob!-U-sob!-LATIONS, Mama!

all...Happy Birthday USMC and Happy Veterans Day...Every man in my family that I can think of, before my grandsons have served this great country of ours...even one of my daughters, so I'm sooooo proud of our armed services! How blessed we are!

And what a cute little baby! and soooo inquisitive!

I found this and many places to find "why the poppy"
A writer first made the connection between the poppy and battlefield deaths during the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th century, remarking that fields that were barren before battle exploded with the blood-red flowers after the More...

Thanks Nancy. I didn't know a half of that, But it is also true that the poppy is deliberately planted on low-lying land reclaimed from the sea. That plant accumulates salt and is then harvested and removed - that way reducing the salinity of the brackish land to make it gradually more suitable for normal agriculture.

Jane, thanks for the head's up. I did get the Walter Reed Christmas card e-mail. I have sent your summary of the e-rumor and the truth to everyone on my e-mail list.

Nancy, thanks for the history of "why the poppy".
Very interesting. It seems the poppy has been a world wide symbol for many, many years.

Is he cute, or what!?

And thank you too, Rayray! I sure didn't know it was used to improve land.
Boy, do I learn a lot on this site!

Nancy, thanks for the input on the Poppy.

My original comment yesterday, was that on a trip north to Victoria BC, I was amazed to see how the custom of wearing a poppy on "Veterans/Armistice/Rememberance Day" (11/11) was alive and well. It has gone by the wayside here. My More...

The poem IN FLANDERS FIELDS is on my page. There is also a video titled Rememberance Day (probably done by a Canadian) - however it is international in scope and deals wars of our fathers through to those currently serving. It is more uplifting than the poem. Hope you will enjoy it.

BTW - I don't see people wearing Poppies on Memorial Day either.

For tomorrow I will be posting a video entitled "Heros". The 12th is a day off for many - since the 11th fell on a Sunday this year.

So much to be thankful for...to all who took the time to message me and to add their voices in prayer for Sully's restored health...thank you!
For those who have given so much for this country and me, thank you...It may be a son, father or husband, or perhaps a daughter, sister or More...

Good evening to all! That's a cute little tyke in today's photo. His/her future (just as our future was) is what we are remembering for!

I'm also so thankful for the wins that both the EAGLES and the Steelers managed to scratch out...and to those who thought of us when they heard the results...thank you! Way to go Nanc....
