    Very sad news about MJ - again, was never a huge fan but still an iconic person of our time.

    All overcast and muggy here, hope we have a storm to break the humidity.

    Thanks for all ignoring my birthday yesterday...

    Sad about MJ. I feel for his kids - more turmoil in an already crazy world :(

    I have a mad cat who keeps stealing my cherries out the fruit bowl:rotfl:

    Happy birthday to Pooky - don't you share that with someone? And I think I missed Maz's birthday too... Belated best wishes to you both :beer:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
