Beautiful graphic and such a touching poem...gets to you, doesn’t it?

Thank you, jaycee, and yes... the words do 'get to you' - especially since we were just talking about funerals the other day.

Walk On Smooth Roads
 
  I wish may you walk on smooth life's road
which is filled with joy and an easy load
And may life's tumbling block of mourn
Be transformed for you into a stepping stone
I wish you joyful shinning sky
where everything is flying high
where no clouds of doubt or fear
Comes in the way to snatch your cheer
so always in your life you can live
And brighter touch to others you give
And be for others the shinning star
That twinkles to give others light from far.

Seema Chowdhury

Sweetest Day

Sweetest Day 1923 was heralded by this front-page Sweetest Day cartoon published in The Cleveland Plain Dealer on October 13, 1923.




Ivory Soap Invented

Ivory's first slogan "It Floats!" was introduced in 1891. The product's other well-known slogan, "99.44 % Pure", was based on the results of an analysis by an independent laboratory the founder's son, Harley Procter, hired to demonstrate that Ivory was more pure than the castile soap then available.

Ivory soap is more caustic than some milder bars, such as Dove, a non-soap synthetic detergent bar. Some consumer investigations have found that Ivory's antimicrobial activity is better than other skin soaps, even those containing antibacterials such as triclosan.[citation needed] A postulate for this effectiveness is the ability of the soap to lyse bacteria efficiently, and to rinse cleanly. The drawback to the soap is its drying effect on the skin, as it easily dissolves natural oils.

Even though they will remain comedians, you'll miss the wacky kitten stuff when they grow out of it. I know I do.
