Word of the Day
beneficence \buh-NEFF-i-suhns\, noun:
The practice of doing good; active goodness, kindness, or charity; bounty springing from purity and goodness
From my grandfather Verus I learned good morals and the government of my temper. From the reputation and remembrance of my father, modesty and a manly character. From my mother, piety and beneficence and abstinence.
--Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

[S]he had disseminated around her what seemed an involuntary aura of beneficence and goodwill.
--John Bayley, Elegy for Iris

On this Day in History 1781 British General Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown,
effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution. Pleading illness, Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony; his second-in-command, General Charles O'Hara, carried Cornwallis' sword to the American and French commanders. As the British troops marched out to surrender, the British bands played the song "The World Turned Upside Down."

On this Day in History 1812 One month after Napoleon Bonaparte's massive invading force entered a burning and deserted Moscow, the starving French army was forced to begin a hasty retreat out of Russia

(((hugs))) I thought we were already buddies! :o)

[StarCMC]

LOL!!

[HiJinx]

Not yet, we haven't. Haven't talked with Piper's Mommy today, though...they're probably sitting in the bottom of a pic-a-nic basket as we speak.

[AZamericonnie]

Awww....Lady those children are precious!

[Spotsy]

Wanna buy a burka???

Yeah, do you have one with the White Sox emblem? I need something to wear to the World Series.



Now I'm feeling guilty for rubbing it in. (((HUGS BURKAMAN)))

[AZamericonnie]

Sweet dreams Tom! Don't bite the bed bugs! *Hugs*

[txradioguy]

I'm ok...fixing to head back to work. Just finished my last Oreo...time to walk it off going back to the office.

[StarCMC]

Well ya'll - I've gotta get some sleep. up and at 'em early tomorrow! *HUGS!* all around. I love you guys! Goodnight.

[EsmeraldaA]

I can't answer you LOL!

[txradioguy]

Yeah they get that way sometimes.

[txradioguy]

Get one with the Astros logo instead *big grin*

[HiJinx]

That four-letter word has kept me away...new policy enforcement and such.

Makes it hard to catch up in the evening!

Curious...muscle aches all over usually signalled a bout with strep throat for me. Is it possible that's Fluffy's problem? Or have I not read far enough on yesterday's thread to get an update, yet? (I'm at 751).

[AZamericonnie]

Sweet dreams sweet Spotsybelle....eat some pancakes & go to bed!

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Need something to help keep you awake, Ma?

[luvie]

;o)

...am I right?

[AZamericonnie]

Night Mrs. Gigglelips! Curves tomorrow! *Hugs*

[luvie]

Oreos!!! Mmmmmmm--reminded me to go get a peanut butter double stuf oreo...they're the best of the best! BRB!

Dear Lord,
There's a young man far from home,
called to serve his nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom
on some distant foreign shore.

We pray You keep him safe,
we pray You keep him strong,
we pray You send him safely home ...
for he's been away so long.

There's a young woman far from home,
serving her nation with pride.
Her step is strong, her step is sure,
there is courage in every stride.

We pray You keep her safe,
we pray You keep her strong,
we pray You send her safely home ...
for she's been away too long.

Bless those who await their safe return.
Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well,
no matter what the cost.
