My 'quotable' of the day:
Lady's give their hearts to poets, to princes go all that they can own. Poets one - princes zero
Shed your tears freely, for each is a rainbow seed and the world needs more rainbows.
My 'quotables of the past:
Politicians will win when good men do nothing.
Things always look bad before they get worse.
(this one borrowed but good)
"The first thing we revolutionaries lose is our wives. The last thing we lose is our lives. In between our women and our lives, we lose our freedom, our happiness, our means of living." *Edén Pastora Gómez*
Moderation leads to mediocrity.
Perhaps, it would be best never to have had presence of mind, then we could go through life with the certainty of conviction.
A candle lit on both ends gives off a beautiful light, but a cigarette lit on both ends just hurts, no matter which way you turn it.
I have done my duty and I am so ashamed.
The 'profound' like love or a small animal, runs away when chased.
Life is short. Death is meaningless. War goes on forever.

vampira1665 : Hugs! on August 25I had to stop by and say HI! I miss ya and think of ya often. Things are almost finished here in sunny Florida. About to move to Ohio and become a Mother figure for 4 small kids. We may stay there or move to Texas for an offer that is hard to pass up for Kris, but it depends on money weither or not we do it right away. I would say we will be in Ohio for at least a few months to a yr. I hope all is well in your world and Kris and I will be starting on a diet that a very wonderful man had me on not to long ago.
Miss you,
