Todays movie actors are nothing like the older ones.
I saw an old western last night with Yule Brenner, Dean Martin and a few others. We are dating ourselves.
I read a report from Kristin that said he collapsed and needed assistance getting to the noose. The man was a coward and I am sure he deserves where he is at now.

READ: Psalm 103:1-5
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. —Psalm 103:2
Some days we awaken with aching joints and dull spirits and wonder how we can shake off our lethargy and make it through the day.
Here’s an idea: Like David, try lifting up your thanks to God. Use mind and memory to rekindle thankfulness for all God’s “benefits” (Ps. 103:2). Gratefulness will lead to joy.
Thank God for His forgiveness. He “forgives all your iniquities” (v.3), and “has cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” (Mic. 7:19).
Thank Him for healing your diseases (v.3). God uses infirmity and disorders to draw you more deeply into His love and care. And, one day when your Lord comes for you, He will heal all of your diseases.
Thank Him for redeeming your life from destruction (v.4). This is more than rescue from a premature death. It is redemption from death itself.
Thank Him for crowning your life “with lovingkindness and tender mercies” (v.4).
Thank the One who satisfies your desires (v.5). He is your satisfaction. Each day, He renews your strength and vigor. Then your spirit can rise up and soar like the eagle.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits” (v.2 )
Now, here's a resolution that some of us made last year - who kept it and who (besides wolfie) wants to make the same one again this year? :)
I love this bear throwing the BIGGGGG snowball!
Oh I know tis wonderful news to be rid of such an evil one as that "Madman Insane". He got his go downins for sure and for certian...(The opposite of come uppins.)
Now this is just way too pretty, Meg! Love the 'framing' you did with this beautiful old-fashioned New Year greeting.
Sigh! And this one, too - with the kitties & 2 little birds hanging out waiting for the next snowball fight. :)
When I make something special for someone, I HOPE they use it right away and use it often!
(But I understand what you are both saying) :)
Thank you, Billie!
I got here too late to sign it last year.( I got here Jan. 9 06) But as soon as I could I started in on keeping that resolution. I so do want to continue to give hugs & kisses (and recieve) too!... For/From Mr. Ah-Rooooo!
I wasn't talking about individually pinged stuff. I was talking about the coolectve pinged stuff. agree with You Billie re:Individually pinged stuff being used asap by the intened recipient.
But Collective ping stuff is another please wwait to use yourself story.
Sorry if any miss understand what I mean.
as it seems some have.
It was a different time, that's for sure. I feel fortunate to have lived during a time when people knew the difference between right and wrong, and yearned for justice.
Thanks Billie, it's always fun to be here.
Love the (((Louie))) graphic, did he put you up to that? :)
(((((Sweet Billie)))))
It's New Year's already? Seems like we had one of those just a few months ago.
I grow more confused as the posts multiply on this, which is why I wrote that I apologize in advance for any use of graphics you post that I might not realize you posted as a "first time post" and that I might repost before the desired time elapses. In general, because of this, I am going to be making it a point not to save any graphics you post because it's not worth stepping on toes inadvertently, but I don't always look at the name of the person who posted a graphic so I might accidentally save one of your graphics and use it later (I hope not to, but mistakes can happen). I don't know when the first time might be that you post a graphic, so I have no way of knowing if this or that graphic requires an embargo on reposting for a designated time. It's just way too confusing to me to track on that level, and a few other levels, which is why I am going to try not to use the graphics you post. I have deleted graphics from my hard drive that I do remember your having posted, but some may remain.
Also, I may save a graphic that you initially posted, but someone else saved and reposted it. In that case I would have no way of knowing you got it posted at FR first. I come to FR to get the news and get entertained along the way with some delightful, inventive posts and art work, but I don't have as good a memory as some and can't remember all the titles of all that I read or who posted the thread when I want to go back to find a certain topic. Add in trying to remember who posted a graphic, and when, and count off a certain number of days from it, it just goes beyond the amount of time and struggle I am willing to put into it. I have enough stuff going on in my own life, with daily challenges, that require me to keep my life as simple as I can at this time.
