“After having dug to a depth of 10 metres last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the POMS, in the weeks that followed, Australian scientists dug to a depth of 20 metres, and shortly after, headlines in the Aussie newspapers read: "Australian archaeologists have found traces of 150 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Brits. One week later, Maori TV reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 metres in his backyard in Te Kuiti, Hone Waiata, a King Country Kaumatua, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Hone has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Maori had already gone wireless." Jackie

Good morning all, Three days of a new snow storm started during the night..... Grateful I still can use a shovel to make a path to the car shelter... Grateful that half the winter is over.... That is really from the bottom of the Gratitude barrel. ---------------------- I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when not feeling it. I believe in God even when He is silent. (Concentration camp prayer) ------------- Have a good day. Jackie

Already lost my post, good start for the day. Grateful for the help I got yesterday, help not wanted or needed. ------------- Don't worry if you start losing your memory. Just forget about it. Many complain of their memory, few of their judgment. (Benjamin Franklin) ---------- When you are over the hill, you pick up speed. --------- Have a good day. Jackie

Sharon, I'll put my two cents where it is not needed. Mike (my husband) could have been operated in the States, where treatment are more advanced than here in Quebec, Canada. We had private insurance that paid for needed medical expenses anywhere in the world, he refused. Tried for him and for myself to make him change his mind, impossible........stubborn Irish man. so he had chemo and radiation never got sick during the treatments but *no operation* After I accepted his decision during and after the treatments were finished, we had the most enjoyable time of our life, He was bedridden from October 7th am, councious and happy and died while sleeping on October 13th.......... His only regret, having to leave me, but proud of the marvelous time he gave me. He made the best decision possible for himself and was happier with quality of time instead of quantity of it. Jackie

Monday..... first day of the week for those that work, hope all goes well for them. first day of the week for those in treatment, wish and pray that they all do well. Busy week for me, starting a new project so, grateful I had Sunday as a day to rest and time to prepare my strategy. ---------- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things *you didn't do* than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in you sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Mark Twain) ---------------- Have a good Monday Jackie

Very nasty weather for a few more days....winter is very long this year. Grateful for another day of quiet time alone..... need it, never bore by myself. ----------- The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always asked to do things and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down. (T.S. Eliot) ---------- Grateful to be decrepit now I can say NO!! Have a good day. Jackie

Boxers are furry clown, had a few in the old days and they could always make us laugh just by being there. Jackie

Good morning all, you may be sleeping in after a week of work. Grateful that today snow storm will be a small one, nice that white stuff we call snow but it should be evenly spread all over the planet to be enjoyed by everybody. ----------- I was born in the wrong generation. When I was a young man, no one had any respect for youth. Now I am an old man and no one has any respect for age. (Bertrand Russell) ---------- so true. Have a good day. Jackie

Val, I hurt for all those that lost a love one and read the comments of that youth pastor.. ---------- That youth pastor must be trying very hard to WIN the best ''Church Bulletin Bloopers'' of the year. ---------- You could and should write a letter to that youth pastor suggesting a (well) compose apology to the person he hurt and to all the people that read his callous comments on grief snd to think before writing in the future or to write only on subject he knew about.
