HOW TO SPEND THE DASH

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
he referred to the dates on her tombstone
from the beginning....to the end.

he noted that first came the date of her birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered the most of all
was the dash between those years.

for the dash represents all the time
that she spent alive on earth......
and now only those who loved her
know what that little line is worth.

for it matters not, how much we own;
the cars...the house...the cash.
what matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.

so think about this long and hard
are there things you'd like to change?
for you never know how much time is left.
(you could be at "dash mid-range.")

if we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

and be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

if we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile.......
remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.

so, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash.....
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent your DASH?

To the world you may be one person,
But to one person you may be the world!

Glad you got a chance to “educate” a neighbor, but glad he was checking on you. LOL!

Good evening, Pro...((HUGS))...how’s the job hunting? Prospects?
Sending prayers for the one you need to come along.

It’s the serving that counts.

[luvie]

Good evening! Prayers for you to get the job you need...and that it is something you’ll enjoy!

It probably would have been painful, as it is the foot that controls the shift lever.

But I have never been one to let excruciating pain deter me from an adventure.

The adrenaline probably would have felt good!

My neighbor went to school in Venezuela, so he probably would have never been taught about a bunch of Catholics who rose up against the Bolshevik federales.

It is an excellent movie, but I cried through most of it.

Good evening Kathy. Nice weather here. No snow here now. Lots up the hills. Brother said 260% normal somewhere. Lots of runoff and high water. No trouble close though. There was a mudslide a couple hundred miles west that was 1/4 mile wide and 4 miles long. They picked it up as an earthquake. No houses in the area though.

Still got smoke? Fires seldom get that big here. Be safe and God Bless.

I have wonderful old Klipsch Speakers from 1985, with 15” woofers, high frequency horns, and a special bass resonating chamber (forerunner of a subwoofer) They are so big I have lamps on them. They didn’t sound loud to me, but evidently the sound “broke” somewhere in the middle of Juan’s apartment. There were a lot of gunfights, with big antique guns, cannon, and so on. But when the train blew up, I guess it really rocked the building.

Modern sound systems with their teeny tiny digital sound is not quite the same as those old analog behemoths. People have forgotten how wonderful those old speakers were.

I have a pair of ADS speaker from 1982 geared to classical music.

In one recording, you can hear the floorboards on the podium creak when the conductor gives the downbeat.

"TAKE UP THE CROSS,
AND FOLLOW ME"



"I Vow To Thee My Country"
Choir Of King's College, Cambridge
(Click)

"I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace."

"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict;
For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altars.
As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be."

(1 Maccabees 3:58–60)

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

G’Day Janey, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

I LOVE THAT!

My dad had Altec lansing Voice-of-the-Theater Speakers. The were abut the size of a small washing machine.

Each.

On one live recording of Symphony Fantastique, the guy on the tubular bells came in a half-beat late. (asleep at the switch).
Anyway, it was Leonard Bernstein at the podium and you could almost HEAR the daggers coming out of his eyes and whizzing towards the percussion section! LOL!

[Publius]

I have one recording of the Guarneri Quartet where you can hear that John Dalley, the second violinist, had a cold when they recorded it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, sasquatch, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Aww..That poor man. Recording with a “code’ is NOT fun. Especially when you imagine the germs you’re leaving behind in the microphone pop screen! (Or that someone ELSE left behind, just for YOU!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

Thankee. Went to Mass with some friends who’ll will come with me to Synagog next Saturday. Still interviewing. Have one good prospect. The sooner they hire the sooner I can come home.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hope you had nice weather and a easy trip.
