Good morning, Rus. Happy Tuesday.

"An honest talk with God is the first step in finding peace of mind."

Thank you for bringing Sonshine every morning.

Hello, Fewz.
Thank you for that amazing YouTube link. It is adorable.

I've heard of the Horse Whisperer,
but this is the first time I've seen the Puppy Crooner.

Have a Terrific Tuesday.

I’ll never forget the journey to the moon. What an awesome moment in history!

Blackmail day? Wow, that should be fun! ‘Scuse me while I try to go dig up some dirt on some poor unsuspecting soul. ;)

You thought that by posting presentations about extremely expensive items and royalty that I wouldn’t be able to make one of my patented boring comments. Wrong! The 80th floor penthouse in Hong Kong was said to have a “jaw-dropping view of Victoria Harbour”.

I too have had a jaw-dropping view of Victoria Harbor. On the first day of our visit to Hong Kong during our West Pac cruise in 1959, I had to climb the mast and work on the radar antenna. The view of the harbor was not only great but there were water-taxis filled with jaw-dropping bar-girls zooming around the ship tossing items on deck that advertised their respective bars.

Can you imagine that being allowed today? You would be more likely to get a bomb tossed on deck rather than a plastic cigarette pack holder with “Wing’s Bar on Lockhart Street” printed on it. By the way, the cigarettes that went inside that holder only cost us nine cents a pack or ten cents a pack for filtered.

Happy Tuesday, RogerWill.

I enjoyed your YouTube link of the Ink Spots.
It would be perfect background music for The Bill Gates PP Presentation.

Thank you!

Happy Tuesday, Meg.
That is a beautiful flower graphic and frame. Thank you.

Hope you are having a great week. Is it still raining

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Cardhu. Thank you for showing us many things that we will never buy. LOL

Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Dolly. These are cute/funny.

[JustAmy]

A Belated Happy Birthday Wish, Allegra.

Amy, your Goodnight Graphic in #268 is Darling, and Meg, Thank you for your Lovely #276. Yorkie, your #269 is So Beautiful; Thank you All for your Kindnesses to me! : )

Some of you Know that the Main Building at my Father-in-Law's Place of Business Burned Down Recently, and he was Going to be Forced to Sell his Property because of it. I've Seen him Rescue the Company in the Past on Several Occasions when the Threats Against it were Bad, but this Time, the Situation is Impossible, from the Human Perspective. But he's Decided to Come Out Swinging and Try to Stay in Business Anyway! He's Working on Several Ideas to Try, but only Time will Tell if One of them can Work. The Company will be only a Shadow of it's Former Self is he Succeeds, but his Goal is just to Remain Afloat in Some Form. This will be the Toughest Battle he has Ever Faced, but if our Lord Wills, Nothing is Really Impossible.

On a Cute Note, Here is a Short Video of my Sweet Doggie, so you can See the Adorable Way she Barks! I Filmed it through a Crack in the Blinds, Lol:

Good afternoon, OESY.

Are you celebrating Neil Armstrong's Birthday or Blackmail Day?

I knew that I shoulda kept quiet. ;^ )

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Yorkie. Happy Tuesday.

How are you doing?
Hope you are having a great week.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Derllak. Happy Tuesday.

I been digging all day .... found a tidbit here and there. :)

Hope you are enjoying Blackmail Day!

[JustAmy]

PS: Those memories are etched in my memory. Awesome, Proud memories.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Fewz. Happy Tuesday.

Times have changed. :)

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Kitty Mittens. Thank you.

I'm happy to hear that your Father-in-Law is going to keep fighting.
I know God is listening to our prayers.

Your Doggie is so cute. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Have a great Day.

[derllak]

Lol! I love that cute cartoon....very appropriate!

I know what you mean when you call the moon landing a very proud moment. Not many things have pulled this country together like that moment did did. It was great to be part of a magic moment that millions of Americans as well as the world were anxiously watching simultaneously. History in the making....and we got to witness it while it happened!

[JustAmy]

We’ve seen some history in the making that were not happy times. But the moon landing was special. Marching into Iraq and seeing our heros in action is another proud memory imprinted in my mind.

Other memories that we will never forget ..... the space shuttle explosion and the attacks on 9-11. So much heartache in those images.

[OESY]

Wisely, I recognized that celebrating Blackmale Day was fraught with extreme danger,
so I chose the former: Happy Birthday, Neil! You did us proud. It was no small step.
