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

I've overheated a time or two.

[Lady Jag]

It's a wonder I didn't spontaneously combust.

The way you spin sometimes, it's a wonder you don't spark an explosion.

[MNJohnnie]

Lady Jag (All I want is a kind word, a warm bed, and unlimited power)

If you get it can I be about a foot taller?

[Lady Jag]

Upside down? You mean like inverted flight?

[Lady Jag]

[tomkow6]

You must be very busy, 'cause we (my "voices") don't see you around much!

As to "how are you", well, I don't EVEN wanna my "voices" stired up!...LOL!

[MNJohnnie]

"Discovering a Grey hair." Oh traitorous article,

that dissolves a man's certitudes

like cool water the hardest stone.

Natures early warning system

the signposts of the nature's bitter truth.

like an early frost, it spreads it's chill finger

While dark voices echo in the minds ear

you too are mortal, are mortal...mortal.
