If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.
I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!
The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.
I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.
Prompt: Right as rain. Write about this term in your Blog entry today.
This saying was commonly used in my family as I was growing up. I actually have no idea of its origin or meaning. All I knew was it meant everything was alright. I’m trying to think of in what context it was said. Maybe it was in reply to the question “how are you today?” My dad would reply “right as rain, thank you.”
I just looked up the meaning but it seems there is none! Originated in the UK that would explain it being very normal to me as I was born in 1944 in England and it would have been in common usage then.
Anyway, I actually like the saying and may well start using it.
