You should have a "print screen" button on your keyboard, and many photo software programs have a "paste" function under "edit" in the toolbar at the top. Try - if you see a particular frame in YouTube, Pause the video, hit the "PrtScrn" button on your keyboard, then go to your photo software, "edit", "paste" from the dropdown menu, and see if the picture you 'printed' from your keyboard will paste into your photo software. That's an easy way to do it. :)

Such a cute mouse with the raspberry! (how can mice be cute?!) lol

I could eat one of those cookies right now!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Staff Sgt. Andrew T. Lobosco, USA Special Forces, KIA Afghanistan 22Aug2009

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

God Of Our Fathers



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

And when an eleven-year-old speaks like this young lady.

Smile

Smile because it’s contagious Smile because it’s healing Smile because it makes people wonder What you’re thinking. Smile innocently to hide the guilt Smile mischievously to make others skeptic. Smile lovingly to butter up the retaliator Smile dreamingly to make others lovesick. Smile because it’s raining Smile because you’re tickled. Smile because you’re happy Smile because you’re idle. Smile affectionately to show your love Smile smugly as you’ve done your work. Smile pleadingly to get what you want Smile forgivingly to pardon the jerk. Smile because you’re confused Smile because you’re lost without a plan. Smile because you want to And smile just because you can! Kaity Larkin

Powerful lesson in that beautiful story, JC.

SMILE!

Smiling is infectious,
You catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling, too.

I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.

I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine
Could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected!

“All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection.”

The Debtocrats have that in mind! So , we ought to consider that in the interest of equality, we have the right to return the same mindset when it comes to dealing with libs.

[jaycee]

Thanks so much for that, fewz....absolutely wonderful! Future President???? Who knows?

[Billie]

Okay! First: Yorkie, the little Cuppy Cake girl was adorable - wonder if she continued to sing or if it was just a toddler kind of thing? :)

Second: Just finishing "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella Polka" - Steve Meisner (shades of Lawrence Welk! LOL) It opened for me fine, jaycee, so I just let it download while I was walking the dogs. So, with that said - this would be a good place for me to post "this" link: :)

She'll Leave You With A Smile ~ George Strait


Hi, Guys! A little George Strait, if you will.
Think nothing of the kissing smileys LOL! Just thought
they would fit his song. (not you two!!!!)

So glad you enjoyed the little songbird this morning!

[Billie]

OMG! Cough! Dave! That is hilarious (I guess) - in a strange sort of way, but nothing new for dem dam dims, right?
