Seal training is brutal. There is only a small fraction of men who can do what they do. God bless them all!

Amen!

Beautiful. This thread reminds me sometimes how much that is beautiful and charming we are missing in the present society. I forgot who said, "Beauty needs no excuse to exist." Just look at the clothes people wear to store and airports. Not often can I say, "What a beautiful outfit." That includes my clothes. Not being super skinny, I have a difficult time finding attractive, everyday outfits. Appreciation of beauty is overlooked in our schools. Excuse the rant. But this has bothered me. Everybody have a great week.

I am heading for a trip out of state. I have come to dislike flying, but cannot avoid it.

Prrecious opening and poetry..Thank you!

"The air is like a butterfly
With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings."
- Joyce Kilmer, Spring

Good morning, SJB.

I stole borrowed my tagline from Mother Teresa.
It seemed to convey my feelings much of the time.

How is the new enterprise doing?

Wishing you a delightful Monday.

[MEG33]

Amen!

[luvie]

Amen...and amen!

Just getting started, but all looks well. Have a great day!

I know what you mean, Jane, about the clothes women (and men) wear to the store or airport. Self esteem and pride in doing the best with what you have seems to be missing.

I remember when the First Ladies would never go into public without being ‘gussied up’ to the n-th! But now we have a First Lady (?) who thinks “FRUMP” is ok.

I never even go to the post office without putting on a little makeup, fixing my hair, and wearing a decent outfit. (If I didn’t look my nicest, I would surely run into someone I hadn’t seen in a long time, and I could just ‘hear’ her whisper to her friend, “Did you see YORKIE? Boy has she let HERself go!”)

I went out in public once (many years ago) with (gasp) rollers in my hair - and ended up on National Television. I learned my lesson that day!

Happy 1st Monday in May, everyone.

Today we can celebrate "Baby Day".

OR



We can celebrate Brothers and Sisters Day.

Whichever you decide to celebrate ..... make it a fun day.

Happy Monday, Dubya. Praying for good news from your doctor visit.

Excellent message in the Ant and Grasshopper story. Thank you.

"MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010." and 2012, 2014, 2016. Time to elect conservatives.

Thank you for your many jokes and messages, Dubya.
Have a Magnificient Monday.

[JustAmy]

All the patriotic breakfast choices sound wonderful, JOHNN.

If it isn’t too late to order breakfast, I think I’ll have the “All American”.

Joining you in celebrating our military .... “The best of the best!”

[JustAmy]

Happy Monday, Mayor.

Thank you for your dedication in sharing ODB. I don’t say it often enough, but I appreciate you!

Have a wonderful day.

[JustAmy]

Have a happy, pain-free Monday.
