Works for me! Make sure you HOLD the Alt key WHILE typing actual numbers (number pad, not typewriter keyboard, which won’t recognize the numbers with Alt).
see #63....I just remembered this....one of the all-time great movie scenes.
see #63...this will make your day...by the way, cats are happy, with full tummies, lying next to the fire-place sound asleep...Merry Christmas!
Sometimes we have a “Quaker grace,” a moment of silence.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, ye heaven'ly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
My addition to that custom is to sing those words to the tune of a hymn appropriate to the season of the Church Year. During Advent and Christmastide we use Veni, Emmanuel (adding the "Rejoice, Rejoice..."), although one could also use Vom Himmel Hoch during the Twelve Days; Hamburg during Lent; and Lasst Uns Erfreuen (sprinkling in the Alleluias) during Eastertide.
"Dear Lord, thank you for the many blessings you give us each and every day. We pray that you bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies, and bless the hands that prepared it. Amen."
I will add more if we are together for a special occation, but if I get too long winded, my 2 yr old grandson tries to cut me off by saying "Amen"..."Amen"...until I finish.
You aren’t the first. But the love of his life was Aunt Berber (pronounced Bubba). She too was special. :)
Dear Lord, we thank you for the food that was delivered unto us by Your providence, and pray that the cook hasn’t ruined it. Amen.

Best laugh I had all week...
