I face each day.

There are more of us than there are of "them". Fight the good fight, be nice to your neighbors and yourself.

spread peace wherever you can, when ever you can.

Those pics made my day.

Thanx.

What I posted was the short video at the bottom of the page, from Youtube.

I'm not good at "cut & paste", but I do know how to post from Youtube.
I'm also not so good at posting photos, etc. unless I copy it to my file first.

I had the same reaction to donating to the book store and dry cleaner when I am again able in a few months. Perhaps ask the blog owner - and if you get a response, could you please PM me? I would greatly appreciate that.

Thanks for this post! We have to remember that the assholes just have much bigger mouths than we do and love to spew hatred that goes viral.

There are many more good, honest, helpful people here and we should never give up!

harmoniously out in the woods of Northern Michicanolopolis (or some such town) and has to dig her own sewer lines every weekend.

We keep her entertained with random photos of a Maryland/Ohio Tim-Teboing-Posing perv that Skinner (for some reason allows to hang around), so but yes - for SW and those like her - stuck on 9800 baud AOL-ish dialup connections - we name out threads thusly.

Strange how that word 'cockles' came to be associated with one's heart.
