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

[TASMANIANRED]

LOl.

[TASMANIANRED]

You are pretty funny.

I was going to say something on the off color side and then held my tongue.

Mixed company.

[fatima]

I have gone off the air once and had 2,000 people call and beg us to come back on,I have shut down a TV studio and ended production for 5 different TV shows but could not handle that one so I called The K.-Son-in-law who can do anything.This one is different because I am face to face.No-one is permitted to hug-cry and if your not there to help-leave.I helped them and their sadness will not help me.I had people who wanted the bricks in our driveway.

[TASMANIANRED]

Congratulations

Applause

[TASMANIANRED]

Prayers for a safe long drive.

[TASMANIANRED]

________________________________

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.

God, Bless America!

[Kathy in Alaska]

If you like him, he has to be a "good guy". I'm glad he's going with you.

[TASMANIANRED]

You didn't throw him out from meanness.

At least he smiled.

[TASMANIANRED]
