«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 415 Newer› Newest»Yes Len,

Good Morning all,
Happy Birthday Len
Len! Since it's your Birthday and all, thought I'd give you a break!
Here is my TOTD to each and everyone of you.
Keep Your Dreams Alive
Nobody ever said it would be easy....
experiencing life,
discovering that it has
downs as well as ups.
At least the disappointments
don't last very long
and don't affect you as much
when you know that no matter what--
you have much to look forward to.
You really do!
Think...
think of yourself as a seeker--
see the process of discovery
as endless, and yet
find peace in the fact.
Be...
be a lover - of life,
of people, of nature, and
of nuances unfolding within.
Reach...
reach out and realize your goals:
stretch yourself, take risks,
and try to understand
and extend your capabilities.
Listen...
listen more and more
to your intuition, and know
that it holds a wonderful wisdom.
Explore...
explore and rediscover
the creativity you felt as a child,
and envision anew those things
you may have stopped seeing
on the way to growing up.
Remember...
remember to keep your dreams alive,
and happiness will always be
in your heart.
- Sue Mitchel
To all, have a GLORIOUS day!
Hugs and kisses,
Di

My dear friend Len,
Heard you were celebrating a birthday. Happy 43rd Birthday!
You are such a swell guy. Hope you have a fantastic day with your loving family.
I also celebrated my birthday last month. It was an eye opener for me. I had mixed feelings and my emotions got in the way. I don't know why this birthday REALLY affected me.
I felt life was moving So quickly. I dwindled on the past, things I had accomplished or still wanted to accomplish. I also felt like retirement was not far off. That really scared me. I should stop thinking.
Rosa,
Your birthday party was so much fun. You looked gorgeous. Thierry we thank you for being so thoughtful and caring about all her friends. It made our evening truly special.
Luke, Dina, Marco, Fil, it was so nice to see you all again.
Luke,
Sorry about the leg room. I completely forgot how tall you are. If I had a sun roof, I am sure your head would have been sticking out. We sure had a good chat. I hope your computer is repairable.
Dina,
I can't wait to see your pictures. Have a super day!
Mary C,
What are your plans for the summer?
Hugs and kisses to all.
Darleen
Marco,
Wishing you a Happy 43rd birthday.
Darleen
Thank you my friends for the warm wishes. Ahhh, how nice.
This is what life is all about, having someone to thank on your birthday. Geez you guy are cool!!
Ciao
Should I say good night or good morning??
Ok! Hi y'all.
Haven't you all noticed that LEN hasn't been on today, or in my case, yesterday?? Len, were you hiding?? Did you really take a day off?? Come on now, ya shouldn't hide!
Tony,
You are one sweet guy. Always looking at people and complimenting them. Thank you, and yes! What a glorious day it was.
Darleen,
They are coming soon, bella. It was really good to see you. Kisses.
Mags,
We are cool! LOL!! But you're in this bunch with us, so guess what that makes you?? COOL! Yup! One cool and nice dude!
Hope your B-Day was swell.
How was your's Len??
Mary,
I heard Martha's Vineyard is beautiful. Hope you'll enjoy that vacation. As for the other one, hope you'll hold up well. Just be proud of your accomplishments and that your kids are off too college. God Bless.
To all, see ya soon.
Luke,
Get that computer fixed and come back. Was really nice to see you Saturday. Don't forget about the haircut. Give me a shout when ur ready.
Hugs,

Hello everyone!
Len,
I will be saying my prayers to St. Anne to help your son and give you strength. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mary C.
Hope you have a wonderful summer.
Hugs and kisses to all!
Darleen
Good afternoon to all.
Len,
Hope all went well today for your son. I am sure that things will be fine. Let the Angels of God guide your son through recovery. Bless you and your family.
Tony,
As all say, great job on the TOTD's. Ya got some good ones there. One day, I'll post another one again. Don't mean to take it away from the MASTERS. LOL!!
Darleen,
Kisses to you, bella.
I am fine and busy with haircuts, housework (what else is new) and time with friends.
Wishing everybody a good day.
Later y'all,

Good day everyone! Just wanted to write to wish you all a wonderful weekend.
I can't help but feel so connected with you all. The reunion has really changed my life in so many ways. Many good things have happened since the reunion. I am so proud to call you all my dear friends.
Len,
Have faith. Things will turn out alright for your son. He is young and strong. Children recover quickly. Be strong for your son as he needs you both the most now. Will keep you in my prayers. Hugs.
Yesterday, I needed a plumber. He wasn't even good looking. Sergio was his name. He was suppose to come for 8 am but showed up at 9 and stunk like a skunk.
When you got to go you got to go. Pricey it sure was. I hour of work and $150. I really think I am in the wrong profession.
I am not plumber but I tried to keep the cylinder in the tank from falling apart with wiring. It worked pretty well for awhile until I heard the dreaded words from my mom.... Il gabinetto no flush.
I check out the problem. There was nothing left for me to tape together or wire. The cylinder completely disintegrated. Pretty much hit or miss. Sometimes it works and other times I cause more damage. I am usually a clutz when it comes to fixing stuff.
It was convocation week at McGill. The campus was so pretty and nicely decorated. Convocation was held on campus under a huge tent.
Yesterday the actor Christoper Plummer was presented with an honorary degree. What a charming fellow and down to earth. Did you know that he is from Montreal?
His speech was so funny. He never attended university. He said he attended the university of life. His speach was given in both languages.
It would be nice if McGill presented me with an honorary degree when I retire. After all the hard years of labor.
My tour guides graduated yesterday. I feel like a proud mom. They came by to say goodbye and head home for the US. My kids have all grown up. I call all my students, my kids. It is a term of endearment.
Mary Anne,
Hope all is well. Big hello from me.
Dina,
I know I know I should call. I am so exhausted when I get home. I seem to lose my voice at night. My mom says that I talk too much. This is true at work. I am not that bad at home. Mind you, at the dinner table she just listens to me babble about my day and the funny stories. Well who else am I going to talk too...my teddy bears. At least you have your kitty cat. xoxoxo
Mary C.
Will you be coming to Montreal over the summer? We are now in summer session. The campus grounds is really nice. It feels more like a beach party. Everyone from the office towers across the street come over and eat their lunch on the grass.
Luke,
Where are you? Hope you are ok. xoxox
Tony,
Hello. What are your plans for the summer? Any vacation?
Carol,
Hi bella!
Hope all is well. xoxoxo
Filomena,
Thanks for sending all the funnies. Hope to see you again.
I am sure Adrianna must be excited for school to end.
I know my nephew Jonathan is. We went to see a movie "Over the Hedge" Really really funny. I was the only one laughing in the whole theatre. There were a lot of little kids. Some of the jokes are intended for adults. I get a bad case of the giggles. Can't help it when it's a funny movie.
Wishing everyone a super wonderful weekend.
Ciao!
Hugs and kisses to all

Happy Sunday Everyone! Yes Yes I know I am in the office even today. A student donated a toaster oven on Friday I was excited until I saw how filthy it was.
Well I couldn't bring it home on the metro. Came down with my baby (car) and taking it home for a good cleaning. Oh man my mom is going to freak out when she see all the grease.
Have a great evening!
Darleen

Good afternoon y'all,
Everybody cool on this wonderfully gorgeous day??
Wanted to say hi and to let you all know that I am still among the living. LOL!!
Luke's PC has CONKED out on him. He will have a friend to fix it, but will take a while. He misses all of us and hopefully write soon once his PC is fixed. I will be seeing him 2nite along with Darleen, Terry and Rosa.
Wishing you all a good day's end and see y'all soon.
Len, prayers are still with you.

Len,
I thank God that I am alive and living all the obstacles of what life throws my way. Not easy at times but in my own way, I manage. Thanks for your TOTD.
To all, have a SCRUMPTIOUS beautiful day and enjoy, and that also goes out to all you voyeurs and you know which ones you are. LOL!! BOO!!
Hugs and kisses,

Good morning one and all.
To all the Dads:
May this day be as wonderful as all of you have been with your children over the years. Be proud of your accomplishments. Well deserved.
Mary C,
Hiya. Hope all is well. Have a great one.
Tony,
God bless you for all your time on this blog and your beautiful thoughts. Always a pleasure to read them (even if they are songs)
Marie-Anne,
Hi girly. Nice to see you here(even though it's brief) I agree with you in thanking Len for his wonderful story.
Thanks, Len.
May you all have a nice sunshining day.
Kisses,

Happy weekend.
Hope no one will party too hard for La Saint Jean. LOL!! Actually, for those who are coming tonite, now that will be a party. Woo hoo, as Marie-Anne always says. LOL!!

P.S. Where is everybody?
Tony,
Good one!!
What are you doing up so early on a Saturday?? You're suppose to sleep and rest, yes?? LOL!!
Anon,
If your wife does jealous dancing, why not bring her along to the gatherings. She'll see that there is nothing to be jealous about. We are all friends having a good time. Just a suggestion. Hope I wasn't out of place. Have a gr8 day.
To all, have a wonderful weekend and remember this:
You have powers you never dreamed
of. You can do things you never
thought you could do. There are no
limitations in your own
mind as to what you cannot do.
Don't think you cannot.
Think you can.
- Darwin P. Kingsley
Ciao!!
Anon,
Like Marie-Anne said, sorry that she is not a social butterfly, but are you??
Marie-Anne also had a good point. Try to convince ur wife and she might have a good time. We are a fun bunch. At least think about it.
Marie-Anne,
Have fun at the Grand Prix. It's really amazing. I went to the Grand Prix in Trois Rivieres a few years back with hubby. What a blast (pardon the pun) LOL!!
Make sure you have ear plugs if you'll be close to the track. Very much needed. I did.
All in all girl, enjoy it. It's an experience. Hope you do meet celebreties. Make sure you have your camera in hand. Ya never know......
To all, enjoy your Sunday and for those who have Monday off, enjoy that too!! Be well.
Ciao,
Di

Good morning to all. Yes, Di , I am an extremely social person (maybe that's where the jealousy stems from). Of course I'll try to convince my wife to come. I will try to be there unless my job gets in the way. So.... although I don't blog much I do keep up to date with your news. I haven't seen many other blogspots but if any others have been created after the reunion one, please post the link. I definately enjoy this one, you are a great bunch.
Hey everyone, have a great day!
FF
P.S. Thanks Di & Marie-Anne for your support. I truly appreciate it.
Sorry. I didn't want to confuse anyone with the initials. I really meant them to be "Faithful Friend".
Have a great day...
Faithful Friend xxx
Luke,
Do my a big favor and delete my comments. Thanks buddy.
Faithful Friend.
Faithful Friend,
I enjoy your coments. Please, don't ask Luke to delete them. Your inputs are most enjoyable. You seem to be a really nice guy.
Please continue to write. It's nice to see someone new in here and you seem to blend right in. I am sure it will make for good conversation for some. You are most welcomed here.
It's my pleasure to accept you and give you support. Hope you are a classmate and a Faithful Friend.
Tony,
Thnx again buddy for your TOTD's. Luv 'em!!
Marie-Anne, how was the Grand Prix??? Let me know, girlfriend........
Ciao and later, y'all.
Thanks. for welcoming Di. Maybe I will continue to contribute whatever thoughts I have ( if you really want). I just wanted Luke to delete the comments about my wife.. etc. Somehow, these things find a way back to her and I don't want to make matters worse. Yes, I REALLY am a faithful friend AND a classmate. Perhaps I will e-mail you all individually ..so not to publically reveal my identity here. Thanks again. Have a good night. xxx
FF
Should I create a Blog account .. would that make it easier??????
I meant thanks for welcoming me, Di. sorry for the mistake, typing was never my thing. LOL
FF
Marie-Anne,
Dear, dear girl. I could've lent you a pair and I did warn you about them. (well, it might of been a little late) LOL!!
You are one funny girl. Armpits, hairy and all! ROFL. Pissing in my pants, here. HA!! As Len would say. Wait till he sees your comments. He'll be getting back at you with his witty smart remarks. LOL!! Sorry! Can't stop laughing.
Oh and by the way, you are never too detailed, my dear friend. You are simply beautiful and wonderful. Don't change, bella. Luv ya, girl!! Kisses.....
Faithful Friend,
Thanks for answering my question and I definately want you to stay in here. As for Luke to delete some things you said, I am afraid to tell you that it will be a while. His PC is WAY down and he doesn't actually know when it will be fixed. Been 2 or 3 weeks already. Sorry, my friend. Will advise people when he'll be back in motion. For now, it's a no go.
Yes! E-mail me too. I will keep your FF in confidence, if you want me too. Oh! Did we know eachother in school?? You know where to reach me if you want to answer that.
As for the typing aand conversation, you're doing well. No problem.
You got a blog account here. It's cool. If there is more that is too personal, you'll know what to do. We are here and that's what matters. Right Marie-Anne??
PS. Yes! Do not touch Marie-Anne. It took me a while to give her a decent hug! LOL!!
Ciao and hugs to all,
Di
xoxo
PSS.
Sorry for typos. Must be the wine I had with supper. Hiccuupp!! LOL!!
Di
xo
Marie-Anne,
I knew you were sorta funny, but this takes the cake. ROFL!!
You couldn't of just washed it or dry clean it instead of throwing it away??? They do steam the shit out of it. They take away all the microbes and bacteria, ya know! Could of looked brand new again. Hehe!! Very cool, girl! Very cool you are indeed. Can I squeeze you now??
Faithful Friend,
If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been hovering and lurking in Luke's blog?? Just wondering. I guess you can call me (and others curious) Oh well. LOL!!
Take care.xox
Later dudes and dudettes, ciao!
Di. I'm sorry I have to be direct here. I have not been "lurking" !! Doesn't sound good !! I was at the reunion, hugged you all, been at a couple of events, read all the blogs since then, and followed you guys here, to this one. Is that lurking?? Ok, I have to admit it... you guys make me smile:) Your sense of humor is contagious, what can I say? About Grand Prix w/e tons of good looking rich people in town.
I took my girls downtown on Saturday night to admire the Ferrari's. Yes, my wife came too. We had an eye-full and went home to dream about how it would be nice if we could park one of those in front of our home, just to make the neighbors raise their eyebrows :) (the cars I mean)
Oh well, Ferrari will have to try harder next time, to win.
Have a good week gals & guys.
FF
P.S. Marie-Anne, Get a new dress and auction off the dirty one! Announce it as a memorabilia of the Grand Prix. Hey, everyone made money this weekend, why not us folks!
FF,
I didn't mean lurking in the way you might think and yes. I agree. It doesn't sound good. I guess I should choose the right word properly. Sorry about that! Darn wine! LOL!!
Thanx for your candor, though. Was very nice and polite. Very much appreciated.
Glad you had a good time with all of your girls. Nice to hear. Well, as you said, the Ferrari might have to be for another time but isn't nice to dream???
BTW, not a bad idea for Marie-Anne's dress. Can you imagine this on Ebay:
Gorgeous dress for sale. Was worn at the Grand Prix and touched by one of the outboxes on the site. Really a memorabilia of a great event in Montreal....
Price: ???? Negotiable.
LOL!! Ok. Having fun here. Thanx FF. Ya made me smile with that one. Have a good night!
To all, sweet dreams. Tomorrow's another day.
Ciao,
xoxoxo
ok.. I'm not going to be a 'pest'and keep blogging here. I wouldn't want to be "squished" by Luke or anyone else. I remember his words :))
Take care.
FF
FF,
Don't be ridiculous. You are not a pest. You are quite fun. Glad you came in. I also don't want to force you, though. It is your decision. But it would be sad to see you leave. Can I twist your arm now?? LOL!!
Later,
Di
xo
Thanks Di , I'll stop by once in a while to see you guys are doing.
Keep smiling.. it looks good on you !
xxx FF
Yes, Len. we did chat briefly but I was so entranced by the women that I didn't pay much attention to what you said- LOLLL. Just kidding !! Well is ballroom dancing that rare? who else do you know about? I just tried it a couple of times and I have 2 right feet so my wife gave up on that idea. She said I looked riduculous trying to sway her doing a Tango. Maybe she was afraid I would let go and drop her !!!... ha.. Have a great day everyone !
FF
Anon,
Isn't it 2 left feet?? But hey! Who am I to know. LOL!!
I love watching ballroom dancing. The competitions and all. It's so beautiful and elegant, sigh!!
Len,
How are you?? Nice to see you back. How's your son doing, so far?? When's the next surgery scheduled for?? My prayers are still with you.
Have a pleasant day, all. Ciya later.
Kisses,
Di
xoxox
lol...Di, you are sooo right - it's supposed to be 2 left feet. My mistake, but then again, 2 of right or left still makes me a klutz.
Go AZZURI Go ! Hey, I can't ignore my italian roots when it comes to soccer. The game is on right now. I know...we need an excuse to party in the streets !!
Get your flags ready.
FF
I want a flag!! :(
Don't have one. BTW, I can't get it on TV. Basic cable I have. (actually, I didn't check)What's the score?? E-mail me!!
Di
xox
Hi Guys
nice to see this blog is moving along.
Marie-Ann, you made me laugh rreading you blog about the smelly, yucky guys and your dress. Thanks girl, I hasven't laugh like that since my huusband left.
I got to run for no but I'll be back soon.
FF,
Go Azzuri, Go.....
Yahoo!! We did it. Next..........
Di
xoox
PS. Heard the game on the radio. Ciao amici!!
Ok. The excitement's gone. We are all back to or regular duties. It's called WORK,(for most of you) but for me, it's called CHORES! LOL!!
Gotta go finish them.
Ciao!!
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to write and say hello to you all. It is a really busy day in the office. Lots of visitors from the US.
Marie-Anne your story was cute. In regards to hugs. There are hugs and then there are hugs that you need to avoid at all cost. I have had hugs that squashed the life out of me. I was totally disgusted and had to peel myself off. So I know exactly how you feel about hugs. Looking to forward to seeing you again.
Dina,
I wanted to thank you for a delightful evening at your place. It was great to sit on your porch and have a girl talk. Very much enjoyed. Watching the reunion video was a blast. And I still don't remember all their names!!! Mind you the memories were grand.
You are one of my best Avon customers and true friend.
Rosa,
Forget the housework. Come back. I am glad the boy arrived safely. Time will pass quickly and you will be on vacation too. Now what type of haircut did you say you wanted....a mohawk..... Talk to you soon.
Luke,
Come back soon. I know your computer has been dead for awhile but we miss you. Someone lend him a computer....
Len,
How are things with your son. Any news about the surgery? Plans for the summer are probably on hold for your family. Will keep you in my prayers.
FF
Hi there. It is good to have you on the blog. Please keep writing. Did I meet you at the reunion? Unfortunately, I not good with names. As for your wife, bring her along to our events. She will see that we are a friendly group. Nothing to fear. We all enjoy each other's company.
Have a great afternoon all!
xoxoxoxo
Len,
What kinda free round are we talikin' about, boy!! Can you be more specific??
Thanks for the congrats! Knew I can count on you. LOL!! Big squeeze of a hug to you, sweetie.
Darleen,
Anytime, girlfriend. You are welcomed. Can't wait for my next Avon order. Ya sure you got my order right?? Hehe!! Oh! Don't work too hard.
Rosa,
Listen to Darleen. She knows what she's talking about. I concur with her. See ya soon for you know what!
To all, call Darleen for Avon. She's cool. She's straight with you on things you should buy and not. In the meatime, it's fun having her over when your order is ready.
Time for my daily grocery shoping. Catcha all later.(as I keep repeating.)

Hello my Cheeky Monkeys!
Just passing through. I'm at a friend's house and took the opportunity to check in. Mine computer ist still on ze fritz! 433 e-mails ?!! No time for that stuff ... but thanks to those who wrote to me.
Len: I'm sorry to hear about your son. I'm sending all of my Prayers and focusing all my energy towards you. Be strong, my friend.
Faithful Friend: As Webmaster, I welcome you (belatedly) to our blog. As long as this Blog is here your comments are also welcome. But I think we would all appreciate it when you can use your REAL name. "Änonymous" has had a history of "bad vibes" on the Pius Blog.
My friend the techy checked my PC. It's not the video card or the power supply. It's probably the motherboard, so I don't really know when it be repaired. Bummer.
So, to all of you be well, be good, and if you're on vacation ... PARTY!!!
Luv,
Luke Skywalker
PS:If you've got my phone number gimme a call. If not, get it from someone who does. Ciao.
Lukey,
Hey buddy boy! Whatza happenin'?? Good of your friend to let you in. We did miss you. Hope we'll see you again soon. You call me for a ahircut when you can. Not the week of the 10th of July. My hubby is on vacation. Gonna do things with him. Who know's when you'll read this. I'll call you.
Faithful Friend,
Hope everything is good on your end. Feel free (once in a blue moon) to come in and just say hi. Don't even have to talk. Would be nice to hear from you.
To all, have a wonderful evening and smile! It's needed once in a while.
Kisses,
Di

OOPS!!
Typo again. Haircut is the word.
Ciao!!!!!
Hi Everyone,
I had planned to start my day with a TOTD that I wanted to share with you. Instead, I got a call from my close friend who told me his 19 year old daughter, Jenny, was killed in a car accident yesterday on the way home from the beach. The newspapers did not mention how beautiful and how a great young woman she was. Her girlfriend lost control of the car and Jenny died while the other 2 girls are now fighting for their lives. I spent the day with his family and tomorrow I will help with the funeral arrangements. There are no words of confort for such a disaster. I can only imagine how unsurmountable this pain will be. Everything else in life seems so trivial. May God bless us all and watch over our children, when we can't.
Len, our prayers are with you guys, now and on the 27th. Take care everyone.
Faithful Friend (FF)
Hello one and all,
FF,
Oh my!! I am soooo sooooo sorry to hear that too. Not fair.
Please accept our sympathies to the families.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It will make people realize a lot of things, as well as life is too short.
Be well my friend and it's nice to hear that you and your wife are friends to the ones who need it. God Bless you both.
Len,
Like we all said, our prayers are with you.
To all, be safe and let the Angels guide you all.
Peace.
Kisses,
Di
xoxox
FF,
OMG was this the accident mentioned this past weekend on the highway? I am so sorry to hear the news. My heart goes out to you and this family. There is no amount of words that can take a life back.
To all that are travelling, be safe and as Dina said may the angels protect you and bring you home safely.
Luke,
It was good to hear from you. Sorry I had to abort my call. Lots of aliens in my office.
Dina,
The Avon lady will be visiting tonight. Better be ready. Looking forward to seeing you again my dear.
You are right about angels. I have read the most interesting book about angels. Just recently finished it. I always felt their presence. More so now that I read the book and understood their power to help and guidance.
MAS
Have a great time Paris. Lots of cute guys I am sure.
Rosa,
Have a wonderful trip. Will talk when you return. Remember not to a hug a cactus.
Len,
Hello. Hope your day is going well.
Tony,
Hello. Hope you are having a great summer.
Maria C.
Have a great summer.
Fil,
Looking forward to seeing you again. Hope your summer is going well. Say hello to your daughter Adriana and hubby too.
Carol,
Thanks for the directions. Looking forward to seeing you and the gang. Now what shall I wear is the question. A toga perhaps.
Mags,
Hope you had wonderful vacation in Italy. Can't wait to see you pictures. All the best to you and your family
As for me it should be a great summer. I am taking vaction time the last two weeks of July. I plan to spend time with my nephew Jonathan. He did well in first year high school.
We went to see the Canada parade last Saturday. It sure was fun, but very very long. My legs were killing me. Nearly had to carry Jonathan home. And he is 14!
This week has been extremely busy because of American 4th of July holiday. Lots of visitors.
Wishing everyone a great day!
Darleen

Hiya,
What great people we have on this blog and as classmates. Very proud to be amongst all.
Len,
Amen, my friend, amen to that!
Darleen,
I see you had free time today to write. FINALLY!! LOL!!
Was good to see you Ms Avon lady. Glad you brought Luke along. Now he looks good, thanks to me. Hehe!! Hope you got home safe. Ya didn't call me when you got home. Let me know otherwise. (e-mail, phone call, etc....)
Peoples,
If you are all wondering about Luke, I gave him a haircut and he'll look dapper for next Friday.
Tony,
Thanks for the video clip
of the Italian soccer team. Was cool and my mom loved it. Believe me! It will be circulating. I am sure it already is. Be well, my friend.
Rosa,
Hope you made it safe, girl. Let us know if you can. Kisses.
FF,
Luke said he's tried or will try to delete some of the comments you requested for deletion. He still doesn't have his PC fixed yet, but he does go into his friend's once in a while. As you saw, he recently wrote. (Monday, July 3) Just thought I'd let you know.
To all the wonderful peoples on this blog, Be safe, be well, and have a good day.
Hugs,
Night Owl
Good Morning Everyone,
Dina,
It was so much fun to see you in action with the scissors. Your time spent with both Luke and I was precious and thoroughly appreciated. You made us feel so welcome in your home. Looking over your pictures and the memories of bad hair days. Too cute. As a young adult you looked stunning. Dina you are a beautiful woman with a heart of gold.
Sorry that I did not call. It was so late when I got home. Thank you for caring.
Hugs, xoxoxoxo
Luke,
Thank you for the company. The ride home on the 40 was hellish. The construction and narrow lanes are very dangerous and worse at night. Lots of trucks speeding and crossing over lanes.
I am glad that you are making progress and I am sure all good things will follow. Dina did an outstanding job with your hair. You look like a new man. Very dashing indeed. I hope you get your computer soon.
Hugs, xoxoxoxo
Have a great day to all!
Darleen
Hiya all,
Yes! It's the Night Owl again! LOL!!
Hope everybody is well.
Darleen,
I enjoyed both your company. We had fun. You are a wonderful person and you didn't have to praise me that high, but it does feel good to hear it from a friend and I thank you.
About the call, I was still up at that time. Hehe!! It's fine. It was nice to see you both got home safe.
Bad hair days?? WHAT!! I still have those TODAY. LOL!!
To all peeking in, a big hello. Hope we'll see some of you next Friday.
Ciao, ciao,
Night Owl

Hey guys are we over this past weekend. Ended up at around Pompeii...the park nearby, brought back so so many memories of my childhood. All the Italian feasts I went too...and then enjoyed they fireworks....pieces of debris falling on my hair.
Hope to see you all on the 14th.
Hi Len,
Doctors are not on vacation. I have heard from a reliable source that they cannot pass their french exam. This is why they cannot do surgery because of langue francais.
I do hope all goes well with Alex. My toughts and prayers are with you.
Wishing everyone a happy summer!
Darleen
Good morning all.
How is everybody?? Oh ya! I am still alive! LOL!!
Len,
How was your vacation?? Hope all went well. How's your son doing?? When is the surgery or did it already occur?? I haven't been on much and to scroll up to re-read would take a while. My prayers are still with you.
Btw, your last 3 TOTD's are true about the tests given in life within ourselves, our choices and responsibilities at hand, with philosophical aspects.
Ya got me thinking on them, and here is something I want to share, that might be of similar value. Correct me if I am wrong.
I believe that through every storm or problem
we face in life, the solutions are ours to find.
It takes a belief in ourselves and in our ability to handle the situations we must deal with.
We must accept our problems
and work through them. It won't always be easy, but a positive outlook will lighten the load.
Finding answers and solutions
won't be an easy task, but then neither is life.
But we broaden our horizons by the challanges we face, and each day
we must remember all the possibilities that life
has just offered us.
Believe and achieve.
- Sherrie Householder
Wishing you all a wonderful and blessed day (as Len said)
Be well!
Ciao,
Di
xoxoxoxo
Such touching words.
How true
sigh!
Hi all!
I see the TOTD's are still in effect. So good to read them. All are true.
But let me ask you both a question. Where do you get all of them?? Do you both have books with these quotes??
Geez! I take my hat off to both for continuing every day. It's never ending. Keep it up! I enjoy to read. I am sure all (whomever is peeking) enjoy them too!!
My days have been filled with lots of stuff. Sorry I haven't written in a while. I will, however pop in from time to time and read whatever is said on this blog. It puts a smile on my face.
Big hellos to all, along with HUGE hugs.
Whoever was on vacation, hope all went well. For those who are going on vacation, be well, safe and enjoy.
Ciao!!
xoxoxoxo
Len,
Your TOTD's, along with Tony's, make me realize a lot of stuff that goes on in life. They put perspectives in my days ahead. They make me think!
Don't stop. Neither of you. Even if some of the old bloggers aren't writing, they are viewing and I am sure they appreciate them. Maybe it makes their days too.
When you write these, you let people know your inner self along with your thoughts. Also, to put a logical smile on those busy people's faces. I like that.
You both are wonderful people. Thank you.
Wishing everybody a beautiful day.
Ciao!!
xoxoxox
OH PLEASE LEN, don't stop TOTD's !!!
Ok here's one for everyone:
A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but earn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when
it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in yor mind.
God bless you all !
Keep it up Len !!
Len, I'm always in here to read your tolds. Keep them up because I enjoy them and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Tony you too.
Ann. whoever you are that was a good one also
Hi to everyone else
Ok! This is my 3rd attempt!!
Everytime I pressed published, it poofed on me. Just like that!! Darn wireless network! LOL!!
Ya! It's been acting weird on me. Oh well! I am here now.
How's all you beautiful peoples??
Anybody liked the light show tonite?? Was pretty cool. The sky lit up like there were continuous fireworks going on. Ha!
Anon,
I read your blog and I know I've read it somewhere before but just can't remember where. Hmmmm.... Now I remember! I got it thru my e-mail one day. Shucks! Now I have to remember who sent it to me. DRATS! It's mind boggling. Hehe!! Oh! I am glad I got a chance to read it again. Tres far out!!
Len,
Like Anon and Caregiver said, don't let go. It's nice to read them and yes, please, keep it up!! Btw, my prayers are still with you for your son.
Peoples,
I want to let you know something. There might not be much conversations going on, on this blog, but let's appreciate the ones who once in a while come in or the ones that post TOTD's everyday. Without those few, it wouldn't be the same. I look forward to reading them even though at times I don't respond or write.
Hoping all are good and have a wonderful evening and day 2morrow.
Bye for now!
Luke! Is your PC fixed yet??
Dr. Stone
Keep up the good work. Just because you don't see us replying, doesn't mean we are not reading.
Keep it up buddy.
Tony,
BTW keep up your contributions. Didn't mean to leave you out. You are both a dynamic duo. Like Batman and Robin, Cheech and Chong, Spider and Man, etc..
You know what I mean.
ciao
Len and Tony,
You see! We all love reading them. You are both not alone.
The storm may have well calmed down a long time ago but you both start it up again with your TOTD's.
Never undermine the power of words for they are what we live with and say each and every day. Very important.
Good night,
Cat and Woman
Very nice Len.
That is why I come in and read such wonderful stories and TOTD's to start my day. Thank you.
:o)
Have a good day everybody.
Ciao
Have a blessed weekend too, Len, and to everyone else.
And remember.........
.......to thank God each new day. There is a world out there waiting for all of us and before you know it, a more wonderful world will begin to show itself. Fate will lead the way. I truely believe in that.
To each and every one of you, God Bless.
I appologize for not revealing my identity but this is my serene place. This is where I come to relax and enjoy Len's and Tony's postings. Like I said before, they start my day with a smile.
Thank you again.
ANYWAY
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are honest and giving, people may cheat & betray you;
Be honest and giving anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between YOU and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
Hi to all,
Yes! A little prayer will be sent for your son, Len. May all go well and hoping you'll enjoy your vacation as well.
It's one that you well deserve.
God bless and see ya when you come back. Have a good one.
To all,
Wishing a beautiful weekend with lots of rest.
Be well, be safe, and take care.
Kisses.
xoxoxooxox
Good morning.
Tony,
Are you always up this early?? LOL!!
It's ok to use songs for your TOTD's. Actually, you post the nice ones. Good on you!
Oh, and I guess you like the Dixie Chicks. LOL!!
Keep up the good work.
Later, y'all.
Tony,
You're funny!! I know you like their music. Hehe!!
Btw, I love that TOTD. So true. The music's passions do enjoy themselves.
It's melody to my ears. LOL!!
To all, have a FANTABULOUS day. Go out, enjoy the sun, enjoy the family and all it's surroundings.
These sunny days will one day be limited.......
.....and don't forget that you can achieve so many things you can imagine.....don't ever stop loving,don't ever stop believing and don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.
Good day to all
xoxoxoxoox
I like that one Tony. You mean like in here.
This feels like home.
Good one.
Mags
Tony,
I really like that one too. You come up with such good ones.
It's such a joy to come in here and feel good. Just to express any kind of feelings we go thru in a day, week, month, or year.
Like I said before, it's my therapy. Especially the TOTD's.
Home! True. At some point it feels like it.
Have a good day everybody.
Tony,
It can be, but be careful when you're Home Alone! ANYTHING could happen....LOL!!
Ok! Lousy joke. Ya know! The movie....
Yada, yada, yada, and away I gooooooo................
Len,
DRATS! What's with that Doctor. Is he craaaaaaaaazy?? How long has it been??
Hope your son isn't suffering too much. Which Hospital is doing his operation??
Good night peoples. Sleep well and have a good day tomorrow.
Ciao!
Len,
Our thoughts are with you.
God bless.
Tony,
So you mean we can tell men anything and they'll believe us?? How cool!!! LOL!!
Hi all! Hope you are all doing well.
Keep 'em commin' Tony. Love them all.
Have a good night.
Tony,
Are you serious?? Absolute isolation?? Guess you're right. LOL!!
I can feel it. Can you?? Anybody??
Later kids!!
Good morning one and all.
Just want to wish everybody a splendid day. Enjoy the sunshine 'cause I'm walking on it! LOL!!
Hope all are well.
Len,
Hope you're having a wonderful vacation.
Ciao y'all!!
Good afternoon,
and what an afternoon it is. Hot, muggy, and enuff to burn your skin like crisp bacon! LOL!!
Tony,
So true! It's like that saying: Give unto others and others give unto you.
Well, kinda! Hehe!!
To all, have a beautiful weekend and week. Be safe and be well.
For all you peekers who e-mail me:
NB. I will be away next week so I would like for you to hold all e-mails till I come back. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
A la settimana prossima.
Ciao a tutti.
Hello. I am back in my serene place. Feels good.
Tony,
your two totd's are nice. True what they both say.
Children:
Let them be who they want to be and when they are raised well, with proper guidance, it's a bonus. When their childhood comes close to an end,when they become adults, they will know what to do and what they want for their future. But a hug now and then, no matter how old they are, won't hurt either. We all need those.
I bid you all a joyous day and Len, welcome back.
Bye
Len,
Yes! When someone loves you, the cupcakes aren't important, but they are good to eat. It's grand to have both. LOL!!
In all truthfulness, I do understand the moral of your Friday story. Loved it!
A big hello with hugs to all.
Ciao!!
Good evening,
I finally had the chance to come back to my favorite place. I needed to read the TOTD's.
I liked reading your story, Len. It is very touching.
Life has a funny way of showing you things. Whether good or bad, we have to accept it no matter what we do.
This is my thinking.
Be who we want to be
Do what we feel like doing
And act on it
Write what we feel is right
When your heart tells you to.
So we do what we want to do
Learn what we have to learn
And whatever circumstances lie ahead,
They will be dealt with the only way we know how
With pride and courage
Even if we do not think so.
Keep up the good work Tony and Len. Thank you again.
Tinkerbell, you are so funny. Thank you for making me laugh.
Bye.
Just a quick hello between my chores. Yup! Slaving away again! LOL!!
Len,
I will be holding my breath for you. Hope that this date stays this time. My thoughts are with you once again.
KEEP THE FORCE!!!
Wishing y'all a nice afternoon and be well.
Later dudes and dudettes,
Ciao
xo
Ok! This posting might show up twice, so my appologies in advance.

Btw, I like the hostage thing. Lets hold him till the 7th. Ha ha ha!!!
Ciao y'all.
xoxo
Good morning all.
Len,
First of all, I don't think I have that channel for the re-runs. Also, are you quoting them from a DVD of their season or seasons?? Do you have the whole collection (since you like that show)??
Second, I don't have any kids.
Third, hmmmm...... I wonder what's my best feature! LOL!! What's yours??
To all:
Enjoy this beautiful day and have a good one too!
Later, ciao.
Yo ho peoples!!
Oh Dr. Len Frankenstone,
Haleluhia for your son's surgery!! Oh! Is that how you spell it???
On videotron, are those the extended channels?? I only have basic, thank God!! LOL!!!
Thnx for the info. I guess I missed it since it's now 9:10pm.
Hope all will go well for your son's surgery.
Btw, the story is nice.
Wishing all a good long weekend and be safe.
Later dudes and dudettes,
Ciao!!
xox
Tony,
I did stop holding my breath since len's announcement, or else if I didn't, I wouldn't be in here posting! LOL!!
Nice words to the song but darn! You're up so early, it kills me!! Haha!!
Have a great Labour Day everybody. Relax and enjoy!!
Ciao
Oh Tony,
I see that you slept in for about 1/2 an hr more??...lol!!
Cute TOTD 2day.
Have a good rainy day y'all!! Hehe!!
Later.....
Tony,
How true!!
Hey!! This is a first. You must of either slept in, or posted later than you actually woke up?? LOL!! It's cool.
So, on this so called ok day, I relaxed. I got an e-mail from a friend that touched my heart!
I thought I'd share it with you all. It's just to say that we do take things for granted and never realize what's in front of us. Read and you shall see what I mean.
It might be a little long, but it's really nice. I surely think it's worth reading. Some might of already seen it, but I hope you all don't mind me posting it.
Here it is:
The Sandpiper
by Robert Peterson
She was six years old when I first met her on the beach near where I live.
I drive to this beach, a distance of three or four miles, whenever the world
begins to close in on me. She was building a sand castle or something
and looked up, her eyes as blue as the sea.
"Hello," she said.
I answered with a nod, not really in the mood to bother with a small child.
"I'm building," she said.
"I see that. What is it?" I asked, not really caring.
"Oh, I don't know, I just like the feel of sand."
That sounds good, I thought, and slipped off my shoes.
A sandpiper glided by.
"That's a joy," the child said.
"It's a what?"
"It's a joy. My mama says sandpipers come to bring us joy."
The bird went gliding down the beach. Good-bye joy, I muttered to myself,
hello pain, and turned to walk on. I was depressed, my life seemed
completely out of balance.
"What's your name?" She wouldn't give up.
"Robert," I answered. "I'm Robert Peterson."
"Mine's Wendy... I'm six."
"Hi, Wendy."
She giggled. "You're funny," she said.
In spite of my gloom, I laughed too and walked on.
Her musical giggle followed me.
"Come again, Mr. P," she called. "We'll have another happy day."
The next few days consisted of a group of unruly Boy Scouts, PTA meetings,
and an ailing mother. The sun was shining one morning as I took my hands out
of the dishwater. I need a sandpiper, I said to myself, gathering up my coat.
The ever-changing balm of the seashore awaited me. The breeze was
chilly but I strode along, trying to recapture the serenity I needed.
"Hello, Mr. P," she said. "Do you want to play?"
"What did you have in mind?" I asked, with a twinge of annoyance.
"I don't know. You say."
"How about charades?" I asked sarcastically.
The tinkling laughter burst forth again. "I don't know what that is."
"Then let's just walk."
Looking at her, I noticed the delicate fairness of her face.
"Where do you live?" I asked.
"Over there." She pointed toward a row of summer cottages.
Strange, I thought, in winter.
"Where do you go to school?"
"I don't go to school. Mommy says we're on vacation."
She chattered little girl talk as we strolled up the beach, but my mind was
on other things. When I left for home, Wendy said it had been a happy day.
Feeling surprisingly better, I smiled at her and agreed.
Three weeks later, I rushed to my beach in a state of near panic. I was in no
mood to even greet Wendy. I thought I saw her mother on the porch and felt
like demanding she keep her child at home.
"Look, if you don't mind," I said crossly when Wendy caught up with me, "I'd
rather be alone today." She seemed unusually pale and out of breath.
"Why?" she asked.
I turned to her and shouted, "Because my mother died!" and thought,
My God, why was I saying this to a little child?
"Oh," she said quietly, "then this is a bad day."
"Yes," I said, "and yesterday and the day before and -- oh, go away!"
"Did it hurt?" she inquired.
"Did what hurt?" I was exasperated with her, with myself.
"When she died?"
"Of course it hurt!" I snapped, misunderstanding,
wrapped up in myself. I strode off.
A month or so after that, when I next went to the beach, she wasn't there.
Feeling guilty, ashamed, and admitting to myself I missed her, I went up
to the cottage after my walk and knocked at the door. A drawn looking
young woman with honey-colored hair opened the door.
"Hello," I said, "I'm Robert Peterson. I missed your little girl today
and wondered where she was."
"Oh yes, Mr. Peterson, please come in. Wendy spoke of you so much.
I'm afraid I allowed her to bother you. If she was a nuisance,
please, accept my apologies."
"Not at all -- she's a delightful child." I said, suddenly realizing
that I meant what I had just said.
"Wendy died last week, Mr. Peterson. She had leukemia.
Maybe she didn't tell you."
Struck dumb, I groped for a chair. I had to catch my breath.
"She loved this beach, so when she asked to come, we couldn't say no.
She seemed so much better here and had a lot of what she called happy days.
But the last few weeks, she declined rapidly..." Her voice faltered, "She left
something for you, if only I can find it. Could you wait a moment while I look?"
I nodded stupidly, my mind racing for something to say to this lovely young
woman. She handed me a smeared envelope with "MR. P" printed in bold
childish letters. Inside was a drawing in bright crayon hues -- a yellow beach,
a blue sea, and a brown bird. Underneath was carefully printed:
A SANDPIPER TO BRING YOU JOY.
Tears welled up in my eyes, and a heart that had almost forgotten to love
opened wide. I took Wendy's mother in my arms. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
I'm so sorry," I uttered over and over, and we wept together. The precious little
picture is framed now and hangs in my study. Six words -- one for each year
of her life -- that speak to me of harmony, courage, and undemanding love.
A gift from a child with sea blue eyes and hair the color of sand
-- who taught me the gift of love.
Life is so complicated, the hustle and bustle of everyday traumas
can make us lose focus about what is truly important
or what is only a momentary setback or crisis.
This week, be sure to give your loved ones an extra hug, and by all means,
take a moment... even if it is only ten seconds, to stop and smell the roses.
This comes from someone's heart, and is read by many
and now I share it with you...
May God Bless everyone who receives this! There are NO coincidences!
Never brush aside
anyone as insignificant. Who knows what they can teach us?
Peace guys,
Ciao!
PS.
Ok! So Len is rubbing on me with his nice stories. What can I say. It's contagious! LOL!!
Thanks Len.

Len,
I'm happy your son is doing well.
Why must there be bad news as well. My thoughts go out to the family of the young lady that passed away today at Dawson. I used to attend that exact campus while taking my photography classes. We never know when our time comes up.
Let's appreciate what we have today.

Oh Len,
Don't have to be sorry. It was a beautiful TOTD. It touched my heart.
Well, my friends, despite the situation, it was nice to see some of you tonight.
I am sure Louise and Nelson really appreciated us being there.
May they have strength and courage tomorrow for it won't be easy.
Let us take a moment today, to pray good and hard for them to go through that next step.
Thanx and be well, my friends.
Hugs to all.
xoxoxo
Amen to that, Len.
Wishing all a good day.
Peace!

Hiya folks,
How is everybody who's in here and the ones that are peeking too??
Len,
I know I have 2 hands. The 2nd one I always do. The 1st one, well, depends on how much I can help myself with! Hmmmm........... My hair, my make-up, my getting dressed, dishes, etc.... But wait! Don't I need to hands for all that?? LOL!!
OK! I am just trying to put a little humour in everyone's day. Hope it worked! :o)
To all have the very best day.

Hi all!!
Len,
How's your son doing?? Everything better? I surely hope so.
Of course, as usual, hope everybody is well.
My philosophy:
Breathe, live and make each day count. Live for today, never worry about tomorrow and surely never worry about yesterday.
Have a good one, y'all!!
Hugs
Ya, Len! After 3 tries you're #700!! LOL!!
Well, I guess that makes me #701. HA!!

Tony,
That's cute. But I have to admit, same goes for cats.
Mine's the best. She's great at calming me down when I am stressed. She's so sooothing.....
It's just amazing what animals can do for a person's moral.
Have a good day, y'all!
Ciao, ciao!!
PS:
Ya see Tony! I'm up way earlier than you. LOL!!
Ciao
;o)
Tony,
What's early night for you??
I know I'm up early but it's also being up late!
Makes sense??
Ciao!
Uh-oh ... hide yer daughters an lock up your wives!
I'm baaaaaack!!!!
You thought I was lost forever, eh?
Six months can seem like a very long time, my dear freinds. If not for my retarded but faithful "Amiga 4000" computer. Poor thing. It has one meg internal member.
What have I been doing all this time?
I think I got to see Limbo.
Limbo is located somewhere betwix Heaven and Hell ... a little above Purgatory. Limbo is where the souls of unbaptised babies were sent. Instead of facing issues such as women having the right to celebrate mass, the Pope instead decided to "abolish" Limbo. Now that's advanced thinking!
(The thoughts and opinions expressed by the author do not neccessarily reflect those of the Universe).
I thought I'd just get that out of the way quickly.
I am in no way anti-Christian. I do love God and Christ and I sometimes pray. But I beleive that the Holy Bible has been misinterpreted since the Church was founded nearly two thousand years. I remember playing the "Telephone Game" in my youth. In the end, the message we used at the start was completely distorted by the time it got to the last person. Imagine the same thing happpening over a two thousand year period. Not to mention greedy, power hungry individuals who may have twisted the Bible's message. (Time and men may also have changed the Koran).
Okay ...let's move on before someone thries shooting me for having an opinion.
I am so "steeped" to be back!
I noticed that a few people seem to have disappeared into blog limbo. I hope yer all okay, eh?
I've noticed that a few longtime Pius X Bloggers are still around. I'm giving out a shout to Tinkerbell, Tony B and Dr. Len. Y'all keep this Blog alive & kicking and that tickles me. The TOTD were all great and I think kept the Blog going.
Got a lot to do. Over 500 messages in my e-mail!! I don't know what to do! Some want to enlarge my nether part while others are letters from long-lost friends. There's a lot to sift through.
I'm sorry I can't make it to the restaurant on Friday. I hope I'll see all my Peoples very soon. I've really missed all of you. I'm gonna have to clean up my little Cafe and reopen (where's that stoopid robot?!).
It's good to be back Home ...
Hey! Lookie here. Lukey Luke is baaaaaack!!
Hiya buddy. See ya been busy. We was worried about you. Glad to see you're well and back.
Don't leave us high and dry again. After all, it is YOUR blog.
The robot must of went in hiatus since your six minth departure, or simply ran out of juice! It's batteries must of leaked! LOL!!
I am sure you'll get him up and running again real soon.
As for the cafe, I went in a few times and it did look grim. I wanted to get the cob webs out but I too was a little busy. Sorry.
Heck! I can go for a coffee and bailey's soon. Let me know when you'll start cleaning it up. Then maybe we can re-open it again.
Anyhoot, a big hello to all and catcha's all later.
Ciao,
xoxo
Mmmmm ... coffee and Baileys!
Yes, it has been a long, lonely time (paraphrasing Led Zepplin).
It took so bloody long because folk were trying to find me a new motherboard cheap. They looked far and wide and found nothing. Zero. Zip. They said the piece was hard to find, it being outdated and all. Finally, I got pissed off and went to the trusted Yellow Pages. Ironically, I found a place only a couple of streets away from me. And they had the motherboard I needed - their last one. It ripped a big hole in my pocket, but at least I got it back.
It has been tough not to be able to do my work. I didn't realize that six months could feel so long.I kept myself busy doing drawings the old fashioned way, by hand. I also used my old "Amiga". But it wasn't the same. I couldn't do the work I love. Now I'll try to turn my sketches into three-dimensional art. I've also been writing a bit.
And my poor robot. He couldn't recharge 'cuz Hydro cut the power. He's up and running now, helping me clean up.
I've been thinking about going "Kojak" - like so many of my classmates (Nyuk,nyuk,nyuk). I need something that's not only low maintenance but NO maintenance. Plus I'll be more aerodynamic.
Well, gotta go and suck up to all the clients I lost.
Other than that everything is shiny ...
Woah, Len!
Good thing you did a little clarification. Folk have all manner of bad ideas in their heads always stirring up contraversies. It's a shame really. They would add the "suck" to the "really good" and come up with something sick and lewd. Luckily, we don't have those kind of people on THIS Blog.
Dr. Len! Good to be in your company again. Every TOTD is a nugget of wisdom. And we all need a little wisdom.
During the last six months I was forever looking for something to fill my empty time. After seven years I decided to try out my old flute. It sounded like a bird stuck in a vacuum cleaner. Eventually, I played a few Jethro Tull tunes but I was way out of practice.
WARNING MEN: Soap operas are ADDICTIVE! Do not - I repeat - do not watch even a few minutes. You will be lured in like a bug to a zapper. You will think of nothing else. That's my little bit of wisdom.
Gotta get back to work ... you know what I mean.
Geez guys! Stop with all that sucking up stuff. Too much for me to handle. LOL!!
Luke, see ya at the cafe, buddy. I'll reserve your Baileys. Cool with you??
Btw, going Kojak might be good, but don't know if it will suit you.
If you do it, tho, a la Kojak, the beard/goatee has to go. We don't want ya to look half hairy now would we?? LOL!!
Ciao dude and it's really great to have you back!
xoxoxo
xoxo
Heyo Tinkerbell!
Nice to see youzza still here!
I2-82 is working on our cafe. I just can't convince the poor little guy that it wasn't his fault that the place got a little dirty. He's even volunteered to work overtime.
As for my hair, how about a nice tonsure - y'know like my Monks? My head can't be completely hairless. I was thinking of keeping the goatee. I'd look like a biker or a wrestler. Dye it red or something.
(By the way, my family and friends said that the cut you gave me was the best I've ever had. Me mommy was quite impressed).
I'm slowly easing my way back into operating my computer. It all seems new to me but I'm a quick learner.
I2-82 just told me the cafe is ready and open for business. See y'all there!
Howdy!
I am glad that the haircut was good. I sure hope so after 20 some years in the business. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be doin it!
Dude, whatever tickles your fancy, you do what you want with your hair, head or goatee. It's yours for always so feel free! LOL!!
I am sure it should look good.
So keep on computing and have a good day.
Ciao friends. Later.
xoxoxo
Tony B: I really liked that last one. Keep sending them in!
Buongiorno a tutti !
(I hope I didn't mangle that too much).
LEN: Great story! I came to realize that I've been a ragpicker for a long time. I always seem drawn to the underdogs - or vice versa. (See my new essay).
Tinkerbell: When it comes to hair you are an artiste, Girl!!! The only vanity I indulge is my wonderful hair (See?!). You are a true pro so that I greatly value your opinion. If I could sell one of my kidneys or something, I'd ask you to give me "the best cut ever" again.
On a far more serious note, I've got to vent.
I think this year was one of the worst on a global scale. One event in particular disturbed me. The shooting incident at Dawson College was a terrible tragedy, especially for the student and their parents. The only victim that died was the daughter of one of own classmates, Louise Hevey. My deepest, sincerest sympathies go out to her and her family.
I watched the panicked students running out of Dawson on TV while on the radio I listened to one student on his cell phone describe what was happening. I sat there stunned. How could this be happening - again?! Had no one learned anything from the horrors at L'Ecole Polytechnique, at Columbine? After the incident at Dawson there were several other school shootings, the worst in the Amish community in Connecticut. The murderer shot children only seven years old!!! The Amish chose to forgive the man. That's a part of their beliefs. We don't have to share that feeling toward this monster.
Writing this brings back memories of what happened at Pius X in 1979. A janitor was stabbed because someone wanted the answers to final exams. This incident in no way compares to the others I've mentioned. I knew, in a casual way, the guy that did it. He in no way was a murderer. What happened was more of an "accident". He was caught red handed, probably panicked and "defended" himself. You'll notice that I use a lot of quotation marks; that's because I don't have all details. One thing that I am sure of is that this incident was not premeditated murder, unlike the other cases. The man has done his time and must live with his memories of what happened.
It all comes down to this: how do we protect our children? How much is too much? How much is not enough? If they feel like they're living in straight jackets, they might feel like prisoners themselves. If not enough, they'll feel exposed and vulnerable.
There doesn't seem to be one correct answer. However, I think it would be wrong for us to just live in fear. Fear is the mind killer that freezes our hearts. I think this is a subject that will be discussed for years to come.
During his recent visit to Canada the Dali Lama appeared at a discussion about spiritualism. The other guests, in their designer suits, were debating what form of spiritualism Buddhism followed. While these people were talking, the Dali Lama was trying to adjust the strap on the red “Canada” cap he had been given. When the same question was asked directly of him, the Dali Lama put on his cap and looked at the others. “Organized spiritualism is not necessary,” he said. “Only one thing matters, compassion. Compassion towards everyone and everything in your life. Compassion does not require organizations. Once you start treating everyone with compassion, you will find out what love is”.
Hey,
the folks that run this whole Blog thing just told me that I have a large Blog (tee-hee-hee!).
Hear that ladies? I gotza LARGE Blog!
A VERY large Blog ! (sltm)*
* Softly Laughing To Myself = sltm.
Let's face it, if you really have LOL at work, how many people are still looking at you strangely?
Exactly ...
Eh! What?? What's that I heard?? Am I hearing right??
A little birdie flew by my window, perched itself on my ledge and whispered in my ear that Luke's gotta big BLOG?? Oooops! I must of heard wrong! Actually.......
He must have because if y'all look up, straight up above, you'll see a number. What is it?? Hold on, I'll scroll up. (Dina humming)
A ha! Thought so! 755 comments! Holy smokes! That makes for a very huge BLOG! No wonder the news it's spreading around.
So there ya have it! Phew! Got that straightened out. Geez!! I thought it was something else....... Darn! Where did my mind run off too......
My break is over. Later guys.
xoxoxox
After my six month absense, my mail box contained over 900 items! It was a chore to sift through all of them. There was more crap than I've ever seen. (BTW I will be responding to those who have e-mailed me).
Most of it was spam. Some wanted to deposit $6 million in my bank account until the revolution ended. I would then be rewarded with a percentage of the savings. Oh yeah, here's my friggin' account number.
I was offered to see what a girl can do with a horse. If it doesn't involve the horse wearing a saddle I don't wanna know.
A whole bunch of them offered to increase the size of my Love Missle. Oh please!!! I've seen examples of the results and I can't help but shiver.
Bottom line - what the hell is wrong with these people?! There's lots of professional help out there. Put down the horse and dial the friggin' number!
Geez! The world today ...
Luke,
Now! What would you do for 6 million bucks?? LOL!!
Do ya wanna know what a girl can do with a horse?? HA! Try figuring that one out! LOL!!
Uhmmmm....Increase your love missle...hmmm....Won't go there but people sure are crazy.
Geez!! What a world. Thank God for friends like us, eh?? It at least keeps you sane!
A big hello to all that are peeking in.
Ciao,
XOXOX
Oooh ... I'm writing this from someone else's home! Real shiny!
I dunno. It makes me feel dirty but in a good way.
Gonna have to take a shower when I get home ...
Wishing you all a nice weekend.

XOXOXOXO
Hey y'all!
Hope everyone is doing honky dory.
I'm actually doing work on my "Firefly" article. (No backhanded jokes, please). Since I can't interview the cast & crew, I'm getting quotes from the "Extras" on the DVDs. For things I don't understand, there's the internet.
And they said my Journalism classes wouldn't do me no good! Ha!
I'm back ...
I just had a memory/flashback.
One day at Pius X, a girl came up to me in the caf and gave me a print with David Bowie's image on it with the title "Alladin Sane". She came from the printing area so I assume she was taking the course.
I also remember that it was one of those bad days and that the picture really cheered me up. I don't remember her name and I'll probably never get the chance to thank her myself so I'll do it here.
Thank you, mystery girl. You really brightened up my day! :)
30 ...
Approximate number of barbers arrested by the Taliban in Afghanistan for giving men "Titanic"-style haircuts like Leonardo DiCaprio's.
Blogula,
30 barbers got arrested to give the men one of the best looking haircuts of today??
Being a men's hairdresser, I did a lot of those haircuts. They almost made me rich!
Ok guys. Tony's PC I heard is ill. Here is somewhat of a TOTD:
If all hell breaks loose, take a deep breath and accept it with calmness. Things will go well again.
Author: MOI
Btw, Len, good luck for your daughter.
Ciao y'all
XOXOX
Oh! Forgot!
Don't forget to change the hour 2nite. We fall back and gain an hour!
Wooo hooo.......

Good Morning, y'all.
Sunday's TOTD:
Never give up your dreams.
Imagine what you want for tomorrow
Feel it, sense it,
Fill your soul with it.
Have a good day.

*It is illegal to hunt camels in the state of Arizona.
*In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.
G'Day Mates;
I went on "Yahoo!Answers" to find out what I was doing wrong with my Betta fish. People were polite and helpful except this one guy.
He says he's been breeding fish for 26 years. He gave me a little advice then ended with:
"If you don't do any of the above, then they have lasted about as long as they can and the fish store would like them to last. The fish has endured 3-4 months of constant torture and mistreatment, then finally dies. You go buy another and the cycle repeats."
Torture and mistreatment? So now I'm some kind of murder? Am I the one with the problem or is this guy just a jerk?
Ahhh!! The mysterious Blogula...
What happened to the barbers again?? LOL!!
I never watched Seinfeld and if you do get to hunt camels,(that's if you're allowed) watch out for the humps! Haha!!
Len,
Definately the 3rd choice. Without a doubt.
Luke,
Take all the good advice and scrap the rest!
Ciao y'all

* When you sneeze, all your bodily functions stop, even your heart.
* Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
Haloween Bonus
* In Utah, it is illegal to swear in front of a dead person.
Blogula,
You started the fire with these lines, but what about some explanations too! If I continue feeding it, will you keep it going?? God knows we need it with this cold! LOL!!
I knew the sneezing stuff.
How do Donkey's kill??
What happens if people do swear in front of a dead person?? Ya mean people can get arrested??
Even when they're in their coffin,(when you visit them)or when they're already underground with their headstone posted??
Us bloggers want to know. How's that for a Haloween bonus?? ;o)
A happy one to all!
Boooooooooooo!!!!
Oh! Btw, keep 'em commin'.
It's gr8!
Ciao
Tinkerbell - Donkeys can kill usualy by kicking your heart out through your back. Or sometimes if your lucky a kick in the head.The law in Utah says you must be in the presence of a corpse and the offender will be fined or arrested. Utah has a strong Mormon following.
*In 1997, Michigan became the 16th state to allow the blind to hunt.
*The most common name in Italy is "Mario Rossi".
- The name "Kangaroo" came about when some of the first white settlers saw this strange animal hopping along and they asked the Aborigines what it was called. They replied with "Kanguru", which in their language means "I don't know".
Blogula,
I like the Kanguru story.
One thing, Me wonder.....why did they change the name??
Thank you for your reply. Most appreciated.
Ya gotta good style there! Don't change.
Good day to all.
Ciao
xox
Why didn't they change the poor animal's name?
Kanguru.
*An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
*It's against the law to have a pet in Iceland.
*Until 1997, there were more pigs than people in Denmark.
Len,
Good TOTD! Sounds like me!
Good luck for your daughter.
Blogula,
LOL!! Ok, ok! Makin' fun of me now or ya want me to explain more what I meant.
If the Aborigines called them Kanguru, why did the (I guess) white settlers, or us people changed the SPELLING?
Yup! That's what I should of said in the first place. Maybe I would of gotten an answer instead of a question!!!!
I knew the first one.
Ok for the 2nd one
Probably there are more pigs than people in Denmark. They are called men! LOL!! Kidding!
Good night or good morning to all.

Hey Anonymous ...
D'ja loose yer marbles or somethin'??? I can't even curse your name 'cuz ya didn't even leave one! Hey, Blog space doesn't grow on trees y'know.
However, I noticed that you were real persistant. Just for that I'll give you the prize for being #800. I'll give you a prize - some painting or something. But to get it you must e-mail me. Ha!
Ok Anon! It's now 12:36am.
Not quite around the 1am mark. LOL!!
Luke, it's cool! I like being quizzed!
ANON, ya you! Haha!!
It's my quiet time after a heavy load during the day and I don't mean washing my clothes.
I actually open my PC later in the evening after my day. I listen to music, read, send and delete many e-mails and read articles on how I can look better! Hehe!! Kidding! But do read articles.
I download music and by the time I finish, I come in here and put my 57cents in!
That's when it ends up around the 1am mark!
Oh, and if you know me like the others, I am a night owl. Hows that for your answer??
Congratulations for stretching out the 800 mark.
As for the bed being interesting........I don't work and it's interesting with my morning sleep. While you wrote in the blog yesterday morning, I was still sleeping. Hehe!!
Btw, are you and Blogula the same people?? Just guessing......
Ciao and be well.
PS. By the time I wrote this and publish, it will be around 12:46am. Still way b4 the 1am mark! LOL!!
Ok!
Here it is. I am shy 5 mins (I think) from 1am.
