Rolig Loon Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 As I think I commented here quite a while ago, you have a right to be right (or wrong, for that matter). If you are wrong and don't correct the error, however, you may be left behind -- which is not right but to be expected. Still, be upright and downright righteous. Go forward, and be sure to back up your side. Do as you chose, and almost everything will turn out right. And the stuff that's left will be wrong. Right? ( Once again, from the top .... ) 😵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I wasn't sure where to post this, so I decided to dig this thread up. It's only been resting for a month, so not really a dead thread yet - especially given its topic. @Cindy Evanier - Saw this today and just immediately thought of you and cracked up laughing 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madelaine McMasters Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I learned something wonderful today. The most replaced book in the Milwaukee County Federated Library System (because people check them out but never return them) is... The Bible. Apparently a lot of people who check out that book never read it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Peter goes: Hmm! says here that you pinched a bible from the Milwaukee County Library. Whats with that ? penitent goes: umm! yessss buuut I repented my sin of pinching it. Can ask the priest at St Agathe church. Annd I paid a tithe to the church to help wash away my sin like the priest suggested St Peter goes: that's the least of your troubles.

Lindal Kidd Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 For some reason, suddenly the science fiction classic "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keys popped up into my head. If you haven't read it... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36576608-flowers-for-algernon It was also made into a movie in 1968, and the movie was surprisingly true to the story, and also surprisingly good on its own merits. See: Charly There have been a couple of recent remakes as well, but I have not seen them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I agree. That was a wonderful book, heartwrenching even. I hadn't thought about it for years. Now I have to go back and read it again. Thanks, Lindal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Mad Magazine did a nice sendup of Charly when I was too young for the book or the movie. Think I read / saw both in later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should abstain from sex, if not completely, then mostly, and in such times it is not good to take a wife in marriage. Also, it is not good to have political conversations, that is, conversations about civic affairs, especially with people who are ill, or those who are prone to illness.
