Good morning, Cyborg!!!
I didn't think anyone else would be awake at this hour.
Nice Kitty. I guess wishing you a great day is out. LOL
The weather's been great because of the hurricane hehehee. I'm sure people living in Florida aren't saying that though. Seems to me it's turning out to be a non-event hurricane.
Has the hurricane cooled the temps? Is it more humid during hurricanes?
Well up here in New York, the weather has been great. Before it was humid. Plus it rained and rained and rained Wednesday. I was happy because I didn't have to wet my mom's plants! LOL
LOL
Since you didn't have to worry about watering the plants, the hurricane has been good. :)
That's right hehehe
Read: Matthew 26:6-13
Wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her. —Matthew 26:13
Bible In One Year: Psalms 87-88; Romans 13
The heroes and heroines of the Bible often take us by surprise. The woman in today's Scripture reading is a prime example. (John 12:3 tells us her name was Mary.) She was singled out by Jesus to be mentioned wherever the gospel is preached. Mary had scandalized some of those dining with Jesus by her lavish devotion as she anointed Him with perfume worth more than a year's wages. I believe Mary did this in anticipation of Jesus' death.
"Why this waste?" asked those at the table who expressed a concern for the poor (Matthew 26:8-9). If they had been attending Jesus' funeral rather than a dinner with Him, they may have reacted quite differently. Yet, when Mary showed Him her extravagant love while He was alive, she was severely criticized for such waste.
We can learn a valuable lesson from Mary's devotion. We need to break out our best perfumes for the living. Yet all too often we wait until someone we know has died to show the appreciation that we fail to show in life.
Is there someone who comes to your mind, a friend or family member, who would be honored and encouraged by an expression of your love and appreciation? Then do something to show it—while the person is still alive. —Haddon Robinson

Alfred Hitchcock's Wit & Wisdom
Hitchcock once said that he migrated to the US as a kind of cultural exchange, only nobody knows what was sent in return because, as said Hitchcock: "They are afraid to open it."
On actors and actreses:
Ingrid Bergman, triying to make Hitchcock help her understand the motivation for the feelings of her character told Hitchcock: "I dont feel like that, I dont think I can give you that kind of emotion." To which Hitchcock replied: "Ingrid -- Fake It."
To Anthony Perkins: "Don't worry Tony, it's only a movie."
When an actress asked Hitchcock if her right or left profile was better, he told her, "My dear, you're sitting on your best profile."
"Actors are cattle." -- "I didn't say actors are cattle. What I said was, actors should be treated like cattle."
To crew complaints that Tallulah Bankhead's habit of not wearing underpants was creating camera angle problems in shooting Lifeboat: "I don't know if this is a matter for the costume department or the hairdresser."
"When an actor comes to me and wants to discuss his character, I say, 'It's in the script.' If he says, 'But what's my motivation?, ' I say, 'Your salary.'"
"Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up."
"The best way to do it is with scissors."
On the relationship with his audiences:
To a woman who complained that the shower scene so frightened her daughter that the girl would no longer shower: "Then Madam I suggest you have her dry cleaned."
On why people were fond of his thrillers:
"They like to put their toe in the cold water of fear."
"Always make the audience suffer as much as possible."
"The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder."
On murder on TV:
"Seeing a murder on television can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some."
"Television has brought murder back into the home - where it belongs."
On his movies and his method:
Reporter: What is the deepest logic of your films?
Hitchcock: To put the audience through them.
On his mission in life:
"to simply scare the hell out of people."
"To me Psycho was a big comedy. Had to be."
"Even my failures make money and become classics a year after I make them."
"If I were to make another picture set in Australia, I'd have a policeman hop into the pocket of a kangaroo and yell, 'Follow that car!'"
"We try to tell a good story and develop a hefty plot. Themes emerge as we go along."
"Drama is life with the dull bits left out."
On violence:
"Some of our most exquisite murders have been domestic, performed with tenderness in simple, homey places like the kitchen table."
"There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. For one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. Also there are more injuries at a football game."
"There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."
On his dry wit:
"This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book -- it makes a very poor doorstop."
"I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the manmade sound never equalled the purity of the sound achieved by the pig."
