Good morning, Amy and Amy's Place. I thought this was the sweetest graphic, and the poem you chose for it is especially sweet, and so romantic. Young love, old love, sweet love. :)

Good morning everyone. I've got a few Arafat cartoons, take a look...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Time well spent

No Sir is right!

LOL!

PONDERING THEIR LOSS:
DEMOCRATS LOOK BACK
(they still don't get it?)

Einstein is credited with saying that:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

That seems to be what the Demokrauts are doing. Every election cycle, they think that there is something wrong with the VOTERS, and keep moving farther and farther left, thinking they aren't far enough left yet.

I think Einstein was right.

Haha, hi Mayor. This one is funny, too.

Happy Actors Day!



Displaying that winning smile and humor.

Nursing Democratic proclivities in the early years.

[JustAmy]

I'm hoping you find more time on your hands soon. :)

We miss the special poems by you and CG!

[JustAmy]

Our pleasure. We enjoy bringing you these each day.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Good morning, Tulip.

It looks like we will definitely have fall weather by Thanksgiving. It is getting cool here too but we have not had any night time freezing temps yet.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

[JustAmy]

That is a cute graphic.

David Garrick in the title role of Richard III, 1810

Here lies David Garrick, describe me who can,
An abridgment of all that was pleasant in man;
As an actor, confessed without rival to shine,
As a wit, if not first, in the very first line:
Yet, with talents like these, and an excellent heart,
The man had his failings, a dupe to his art;
Like an ill-judging beauty, his colours he spread,
And beplastered, with rouge, his own natural red.
On the stage he was natural, simple, affecting;
'Twas only that when he was off he was acting:
With no reason on earth to go out of his way,
He turned and he varied full ten times a-day;
Though secure of our hearts, yet confoundedly sick,
If they were not his own by finessing and trick;
He cast off his friends, as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleased he could whistle them back.
Of praise a mere glutton, he swallowed what came,
And the puff of a dunce, he mistook it for fame;
'Till his relish grown callous, almost to disease,
Who peppered the highest, was surest to please.
But let us be candid, and speak out our mind,
If dunces applauded, he paid them in kind.
Ye Kenricks, ye Kellys, and Woodfalls so grave,
What a commerce was yours, while you got and you gave!
How did Grub-street re-echo the shouts that you raised,
While he was beRosciused, and you were bepraised!
But peace to his spirit, wherever it flies,
To act as an angel, and mix it with skies;
Those poets, who owe their best fame to his skill,
Shall still be his flatterers, go where he will.
Old Shakespeare, receive him, with praise and with love,
And Beaumonts and Bens be his Kellys above.

Good morning, Mayor. Thank you for the inspirational message this morning.

Have a beautiful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Billie. Happy Saturday!

I think that graphic is precious. I used it a few months ago but do not remember what poem I chose at that time. I like this poem and when I looked for a graphic, this one jumped up. Thank you for the graphic.

Have a wonderful weekend.

[JustAmy]

Hey .... got that right. Terrorists and murderers belong in a fiery hell.

Good afternoon, Victoria. Hope you are having a beautiful, long weekend.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Amy. I'm having a nice relaxing time. :-)

How about you? Did you see the Doctor yesterday?

[JustAmy]

If they move any further left, they will be too far away they will get only the commie vote. They will not even get the uninformed vote.

[JustAmy]

I'm doing fine.

Went to the eye doctor yesterday. My eyes are better but still irritated. He says he can do surgery to remove some of extra skin on the eyelids (read wrinkles). He said he does several of these every week.

He said there would be some bruising, so I told him I would like to wait until after the inauguration to make a decision. I also need to talk to someone who has had this type of wrinkle remover surgery.
