Thought for the Day - #9

Oh, weegy, what dry wit you have sometimes. Love both the Nov 15th quotes, and due to current circumstances, especially the 9:29 AM one.

Kwanjin-could not read Tigger's song without saying it to the music in my head.

This is a great place to be amongst friends, it is like sitting down for tea.

Thanks Lynda...how dry I am...hiccup, hiccup! Nobody knows...how dry I am!

I have a bottle to cure that...

Hard to believe Groucho Marx said that. Who knew he was that deep!

Weedgy
A little (or a lot) of wine will definately take care of the dryness.

Lynda's got a bottle for me! I think I'll have a whole bottle!

i know, so not like the usual groucho

I got stood up by a woman, and run over by a car...

Tom Waits

My son and I were trying to come to a compromise this morning, regarding his homework, and it reminded me of this one:

A compromise is an agreement whereby both parties get what neither of them wanted. ~Author Unknown

Here's another fun one:

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. ~Elayne Boosler

My kind of thinking!

Love that second one BookerC.

Knowledge is like money, if you keep quiet about it, people think you've got more than you have.

LOL Weegy, I like that one! Reminds me of the one that goes something like, "Better to be silent and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt." Can't remember who said it, though!

I've heard that one too booker. My problem is I speak and remove all doubt!!!

If I were to agree with you...then we'd both be wrong...

There are 2 days we need not worry about...yesterday and tomorrow.

You have all done very well!

I agree. This is such a fun thread.

Happy birthday to me...(69, tomorrow!) Yikes!

Anyone gotta' good birthday poem??

"Put another candle on my birthday cake, a wish I'll make...." ~ Sheriff John

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Evelyn. I hope it's a really special one.

I don't know about a good birthday poem, but here's one we always used to sing in childhood:

"Happy birthday to you.
You were born at the zoo.
You act like a monkey
And look like one too."

On your birthday I wish you much pleasure and joy;
I hope all of your wishes come true.
May each hour and minute be filled with delight,
And your birthday be perfect for you!

Best wishes on your Birthday Evelyn. Margaret, that's so funny a b-day song! I'd love to learn to sing it. DW, very beautiful wishes.

Back to the Birthday lady, enjoy, enjoy your special day.

Happy birthday Evelyn! You are on the precipice of another decade!

Live long and prosper.

Happy Birthday Evelyn and here's to many many more !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVELYN!!!!!

I don't have any songs but I do have a couple of quotes...

"May you live all the days of your life."
Jonathon Swift

"You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime."
John P. Grier

"Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made."
Robert Browning

We're happy to see you, we're glad you're here, sharing your birthday and one more year...happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you.

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Amen.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Mother Teresa

Oh, gosh! Thanks everyone!

Yes, kwanjin ~ I am immature for life!! LOL!!

And to all of you..." A very merry un-birthday to you, to you....a very merry un-birthday to you..." ~ Lewis Carroll

I'm with you evelyn, I refuse to grow up!
Thank you for the un-birthday wishes too!
(Man, is it pouring outside right now!)

Evelyn,
Whew, I almost missed your Birthday!
I remember Sheriff John.
"Put another Candle on your Birthday Cake, Birthday Cake,
Birthday Cake~
Put another candle on your Birthday Cake, you are another year old today! : - )

In Honor of your Birthday, Evelyn, enjoy! The rest of you can enjoy this too, if you want. : - p

"May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to to be home, may you find your way.
May you always find courage to take a chance,
And never find frogs in your underpants."

Tee Hee!
(Hugs Evelyn~)
Walk In Beauty!

I have another one just have to share.

"Thank you God . . .
for standing by me
so far this day.
With your help, I haven't
been impatient, grumpy,
or judgmental,
But . . .
I'll be getting out of bed soon,
and I'll be needing your
help even more."
~Unknown~

(Heh, heh....)

"Never the Muse is absent
from their ways: lyres clash and flutes cry
and everywhere maiden choruses whirling.
Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed
in their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live."
~ Pindar, Tenth Pythian Ode; translated by Richmond Lattimore.


"It is perfectly true, as philosophers say, that life must be understood
backwards. But they forget the other proposition, that it must be
lived forwards." (Kierkegaard, Journals)

Evelyn, you are ahead of me. You need to slow down so we can both hit seventy the same day. Let me see I was 68 on 8/4 vs you are 69 on 11/20. OK friends, how many days does she have to slow down for us to go over the 70 years old finish line together.

Have a great day Evelyn. I am just about over my cold. We are getting rain and wind. Love you all. Sharon.

The Road Not Taken ~ Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

What is a true friend??

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
~ Bernard Meltzer

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
~ Unknown

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
~ Albert Schweitzer

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than
you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
~ Dale Carnegie

Friendship is like a bank account; you cannot continue to draw on it without
making a deposit.
~ Nicole Beale

A friend is a gift you give yourself.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson
