She is 92 this year. Pretty sharp still. Me and sibs are close by so she gets visited and called daily and a trip or two each week to a cafe.Originally posted by Cow Poke View Post“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

People function best in a family. Tweb is a sort of family too. Here in the UK, we have in Government, the concept of Her Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition. The leader of this official opposition is currently Jeremy Corbyn. The loyalty is to the Crown (the State). The State is the family and the Government has its official opponents with the result that public opinion is informed by both sides having a strong and respected voice in Parliament.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostSuper. You have hereby redeemed yourself and are no longer a scum sucking bottom feeding low life degenerate.
Like it or not, I would venture to suggest that an impoverished version of this is somewhat the case in Tweb too and that your opponents are as honorable and as loyal as you are. In this view, I suppose that ‘in Christ’ signifies a political affiliation but I don’t think you would see it that way. Religious people, because of being ‘chosen’ or ‘under God’, sometimes make mistakes about hierarchies and what constitutes family or sub-families in some context. I contend that the atheist has a better understanding of the hierarchy of families and is even more ‘family’ oriented than the Christian. OR, the greater fellowship of ALL men is NOT under God.
I could go on like this, but I don’t want to overload you.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

I do. I am most fortunate to belong to close and loving families (I include the ‘in-laws’) now spanning four generations.Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostI'm not here (in this thread) for debate - just anticipation of Mother's Day.

I often wish I lived closer to parents and siblings. My parents are both gone now, but it used to take an annual (or semi-annual) flight to Ohio to visit them. My brothers and sisters are scattered all over this country and Japan. My baby sister (and her husband) is coming to visit us TODAY from Ohio. We'll pick them up in Austin from the airport, then drive them to San Antonio where we will do "the River Walk" tonight, and take them to see the Alamo tomorrow, then head back to our place for a couple days.Originally posted by firstfloor View Post
We don't have "favorites" in our family, but if we did, she would be mine.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there. I hope your family treats you like the queen you deserve to be - maybe even for an entire year!
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

I did get to wish my godmother a Happy Mother's Day. Next week, we'll celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom
