Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me with tar and feathers.
On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

Quote of the day
“Death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate.”
.........................................................................-- Ambrose Bierce
I read just yesterday about a 200 million dollar estate was down to 60 million by the time the lawyers were done with it, mostly because the man left no will.
"Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite" is Irish and it appears on the gravestone of our legendary comedian and professional nutcase - Spike Milligan. It means - "I told you I was ill"
Short and to the point.

ReplyDeletePat, ha ha ha! Your quote is a good one!
ReplyDeleteSnowbrush, Shakespeare said, "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" (Henry VI, Act IV, scene ii).
Putz, all contributions gratefully accepted.
Had to look up 'litigations' (what would I do without www.thefreedictionary.com).
ReplyDeleteWill this quote be on your headstone?
;-)
Carolina, my estate is so miniscule as to be practically non-existent, so the answer to your inquiry is "No, ma'am"!
ReplyDeleteI did hear of one epitaph that read, "I told you I was sick" though....
