There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

    bet your moved to the grave board:rotfl:

    I voted leave it where it is cause I don't believe thanking someone says you agree............just that you have acknowledge they have an opinion and have bothered reading it :D

    or a multitude of other things

    Vote where?
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Well, one could argue that if a post is worth quoting it is also worth thanking, whether one agrees or not...although perhaps not every single time.
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
