Good morning, Darks.

I'll be back very soon. Time to take Marissa to school.

Did you help catch that troll a couple of days ago?

Hope you are having a beautiful sunshiny type day.

If it was last week, that was during my minivacation away from the forum.
And this week I got tangled up in real world interruptions that are driving me nuts.
*chuckle*

In short, I probably missed the troll and soeone else claims the nab.
Hopefully whoever nabbed the troll will speak up.
;-)

Good Morning- it's SNOWING here in Maryland. What a nice day! No School, fire going in fireplace, kids playing nicely (not housebound crazy yet) - and I didn't even have to go out to buy milk, bread, or toilet paper!

A smile for today:

Two things they teach Marines:

1. Keep your priorities in order
2. Know when to act without hesitation

A college professor, an avowed atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real,
then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes."

The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."

His count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine - just released from active duty and newly registered in the class - walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him tumbling
from his lofty platform. The professor was out cold!

The students were shocked and babbled in confusion.
The young Marine took a seat in the front row and sat silent. The class fell silent...waiting.

Eventually, the professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

"God was busy. He sent me."

One Nation Under God!

I'm not sure who nabbed him but I'm glad someone did.

I get wrapped up in the real world too often lately. It seems that something takes me away almost every day.

Good morning, 4MC

I noticed that you fly the California flag on your profile. I hope it is dry and sunny in your part of the state.

Have a wonderful Day.

With voices and harps to the Ancient of Days;
No music on earth with that sound can compare,
Yet in that vast chorus our voices will share.

Good morning, Rus. That is a beautiful lesson for today. Thank you.

Hope you are having a wonderful week.

Feeling better myself, but co-worker in another dept. has a long term illness. I'm over here sub-ing for her this morning. She was gone all day yesterday, but I did not realize that she had been gone. I came over at 1 to start getting messages off her voice mail and ended up finishing up about 4! She is usually here by now, so I'm wondering if she'll be here today.

Yeah.
According to my local weather, real life is about to interrupt yet again by falling from the sky in roughly one or two hours.
I guess I'm just lucky.
Also sounds like it's rubbin off onto you as well.

Good morning, PAL.
It's good to hear that you are feeling better. Don't overdo it now.

I'm looking forward to work getting back to normal for you.
We've missed you!!

Well, more snow for my immediate area.
Local schools closed early today in prep for what looks to be an ungly afternoon and evening.

On this Calendar Day there is one date we should never forget.

Note: This site may not be immediately accessible because of the overwhelming response.
