HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONOR!

Always enjoy your posts here & at the Canteen. Hope you have a day that sparkles with love & fun! God Bless!

Hello all! cooler here as most parts of country. Back issues.. but had a great treatment at Chiropractor & things are much better now. Must take it easy for a few days so adjustment can set.

dogs are fine & I am muddling along with life and it’s issues. Getting older aint for sissies.. maybe overused phrase but dang, so true.

LOTS of movies I have seen .. for those who aren’t into special effects, sci fi, shoot um up type movies.. you might enjoy these

The Help
Seven Days in Utopia (golf/christian movie)
Sarah’s Key (probably the best movie I have seen this year)

I still go to theater many times a week & do see all on big screen that has an appeal.

Hope you all are doing well. I know from reading the posts there are a lot of problems with personal & family health, job/financial issues & People/relation issues. No easy answers for any other than trust God with your future & ask for his peace.

HAPPY CATURDAY TO AMY’S PLACE!

Macavity - The Mystery Cat

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw--
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no on like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime--Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air-
- But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin;
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly doomed;
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square--
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his footprints are not found in any file of Scotland Yard's.
And when the larder's looted, or the jewel-case is rifled,
Or when the milk is missing, or another Peke's been stifled,
Or the greenhouse glass is broken, and the trellis past repair--
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Foreign Office finds a Treaty's gone astray,
Or the Admiralty lose some plans and drawings by the way,
There may be a scap of paper in the hall or on the stair--
But it's useless of investigate--Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
"It must have been Macavity!"--but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him resting, or a-licking of his thumbs,
Or engaged in doing complicated long division sums.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macacity,
There never was a Cat of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an alibit, or one or two to spare:
And whatever time the deed took place--MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all the Cats whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!

Margaritas, of course!"

I was hoping to hear that!

I always keep a pitcher in my freezer,
in case Amy drops by.
Now, I'll be sure to keep an extra one for you too!

I miss you, Lori!

Your theory makes a lot of sense!

Google “The Manchurian Candidate”...the OLD one with Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury,(Not the new one with Denzel Washington)

It takes place after the Korean War, and a released POW had been psychologically tortured to assassinate a legitimate Presidential Candidate so that a Communist Plant would be elected instead.

It is a deep and scary movie, and not at all far-fetched.

Angela Lansbury scares me. Every time she takes a trip - someone gets killed.

(LOL!!!)

[yorkie]

I thought that was Sir Winston behind me yesterday,
