I'm a Little Confused

Good Governance, Early Muslim Style

The rich always want more: They are the people who will be the worst drag upon you during your moments of peace and happiness, and the least useful to you during your hours of need and adversity. They hate justice the most. They will keep demanding more and more out of State resources and will seldom be satisfied with what they receive and will never be obliged for the favor shown to them if their demands are justifiably refused

Happy Birthday Jon

Today is Jon's 28th Birthday. He had to work and I texted him Birthday Greetings.

I can still remember waking up with my mother telling me that I had a nephew. she and my sister had snuck off to the hospital without waking me up. I don't think anything has ever happened to me that has made me happier.

In the past twenty-eight years I have watched him grow into the wonderful guy he is today. We have traveled the country together as I took him with me to the National Education Association Meetings in the summer time.

I watched at he grew into a young adult and the man he is now and I could not be prouder of him if he were my own son. In some cultures the Uncles raise the nephews. In many ways I feel I have helped raise him. I know that my mother would also be proud of him. She called him "her immortality" - and she is right. Through him the good that was her will live on.

Thanks for stopping by. Hugs and Always Remember That You Are Loved.

More Aiden

Aiden's Momma is my first cousin once removed. I guess that makes him my first cousin twice removed. He is beautiful and I am so very happy for his parents. Although with these pictures having his eyes closed I have dubbed him "Sir Sleeps A Lot." (but I bet he doesn't)

The Speech He Should Have Given.

"The best guarantee of the peace and security of Americans is not international anarchy and aggressive warfare, but world order and the international rule of law."

At 78 years of age, Wally married Anne, a lovely 25 year old. Since her new husband was so old, Anne decided that after their wedding she and Wally should have separate bedrooms because of her concern that her new but aged husband might overexert himself if they spent the entire night together. After the wedding festivities, Anne prepared herself for bed and the expected "knock" on the door. Sure enough the knock came, the door opened, and there was Wally, her 78 year old groom, ready for action. They united as one. All went well; Wally took leave of his bride; and she prepared for sleep.

After a few minutes, Anne heard another knock on her bedroom door, and it was Wally again - ready for more. Somewhat surprised, Anne consented for more coupling. When the newlyweds were done, Wally kissed his bride, bade her a fond goodnight, and left. Just as she was set to sleep again..., you guessed it..... Wally was back again, rapping on the door, as fresh as a 25-year-old, ready for more activity.

Once again they enjoyed each other, but as Wally prepared to leave again, his young bride opined, "I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often. I have been with guys less than a third your age who were only good once. You are truly a great lover, Wally."

Wally, somewhat embarrassed, turned to Anne and replied, "You mean I was here already?"

HOW TO START A FIGHT

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a

Christmas gift...

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift.

When she asked me why, I replied,

"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....

The latest survey shows that three out of four people makeup 75% of the population.
