Wednesday 27 December, 2006Third day of Christmas:
The 'three French hens' are the three Persons of the holy Trinity or the three virtues: faith, hope, and love, though according to Ace Collins' book "Stories of the Best Loved Christmas Songs", they represent the expensive gifts of the Wise Men: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Take your pick.
From time to time in my readings I come across quotes and other quips that I find interesting, pertinent, or appropos.
"The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with businesss"----- Clarence Darrow

"Weakness does not storm the gates, but drips in along the eaves of comfort" ?*****
FACTS OF LIFE: 5--- Daily cups of tea drunk by study subjects who showed a fivefold increase in the amount of immunity-boosting interferon they produced. NAoS*****
Dwelling on past pain robs us of the magic of the present moment.*****
" The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings;the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery."
Sir Winston Churchill

Bloody Blogger! I had a great comment all typed out and then somehow lost it. Oh well...
Hope you and yours had a delightful Christmas, and blessings upon you for a simply superb 2007.
As a teacher, the question I avoid the most is "Can I go the bathroom?"
Both for myself, and my students!
These quotes are fantastic! And the question I avoid the most is when is the book going to be finished? :)
I just saw a study this morning that said long term use of acid inhibitors leads to an increased risk of hip fractures. So, since I take a pill daily for acid reflux, the questions I avoid, are anything to do with medical studies.
Have a great day Rel.
Those French hens look lovely.
My favorite quote about communism goes something like this: The only people who love communism are people who haven't lived under it.
The question I avoid most is, What are you going to do when you get too old to run anymore? Shudder to think.
I dont know what question I avoid the most Rel. I do have a couple of favorite quotes though..
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
He who dies with the most toys, still dies.
Always forgive, never forget.
Dearest Rel...wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!! A couple of days late but I'm just now catching up with everybody. It sounds like you had a fabulous time with your family and I love the picture of all of you:-) I'm glad you got to have your tourtiere too! I had brought a couple of them to my son's place and while eating it, I was thinking of you! lol Much love to you and D xox
That very question, Remiman! ;)
There are a lot of questions I avoid, Rel. Which one would you like to hear, lol!
Actually, I really dislike people I have just met asking me personal questions. I find that most intrusive.
Glad you survived Christmas!
Hugs

I enjoy the unveiling of the secret language/symbols of the the twelve days of Christmas!
A question I avoid the most...I am not telling because the answer would be heard in the writing of it!
