Today is a day to remember those Military Members that gave their lives in service of our country (the United States of America). In my opinion, it is a day hugely important, and that all, especially our youth be cognizant of the extreme sacrifices that some made to give us our way of life. Yesterday I spent time at the local Veterans Cemetery assisting with preparations for today’s ceremonies of Remembrance. Today I will attend a parade and Ceremonies. I hope that if at all possible, you to take a moment of Remembrance.
Background:
Memorial Day in the United States is for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.

Maybe it is my genes or sense of commitment? I look at folks that do that serious body work with awe and disbelief. Can you imagine what it takes to get that "buff'. I know I have posted several times about it questioning the need or wisdom in the past. maybe I have a fixation. Have you ever, or are you a body builder? Do you know anyone that is?

lawyers are a source of entertainment amongst me and my friends. As a profession, they are one of the most useless occupations in the world. So far , in my life I have not found it possible to get one to speak frankly and express an opinion.The unfortunate thing is that the profession has weaseled its way into our way of life and will not go away!! So out of my "respect" for the occupation, I would like to share some lawyer humor. Have you ever had an interface with a lawyer? Hopefully humorous
A father her told his 3 sons when he sent them to the university: "I feel it's my duty to provide you with the best possible education, and you do not owe me anything for that. However, I want you to appreciate it. As a token, please each put $1,000 into my coffin when I die." And so it happened. His sons became a doctor, a lawyer and a financial planner, each very successful financially. When their father’s time had come and they saw their father in the coffin, they remembered his wish. First, it was the doctor who put 10 $100 bills onto the chest of the deceased. Then, came the financial planner, who also put $1,000 there. Finally, it was the heartbroken lawyer's turn. He dipped into his pocket, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for $3,000, put it into this father's coffin, and took the $2,000 cash. He later went on to become a US Congressman. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I was listening to a Talk Radio show yesterday. The subject was " Your Childs first curse". The 's language development can take some wild curves. And of course we all know that their brains are like sponges, taking things in. I know I try to be careful with my language around , but mistakes happen. Or they hear something in a crowd. I have never known a to hold back, just firing away when they feel like. So, the question is,,,, When, where at what age was your 's (grandchild, nice, nephew) first bad word and where was it?

I saw a series of naughty cartoons about the Flintstones. I know they are an old series, but I never saw anything like this before. I bet there are several other series of the oldies. Have you seen any others? I am not enamored of them, but they seemed funny to share The third and last repost of the pictures!!!!
