lol Tony, that's a great pic.  Hey, did anyone watch Gabby Douglas win the Women's All-Around in gymnastics last night.  Was so happy for her and Team USA.  Then in the interview she said something about giving all the glory to 'god' and then he rains the rewards (or something to that effect.)  Really nice that god gave her a gold medal, and other kids her age cancer.

booklover, that was probably me asking about FB. Joan, I would love to be your friend, as well. I think I can learn so much from you there, as well as here.

(one warning...I play a game that generates lots of posts, but they can't be blocked.)

Ian Mason, the cat photo is priceless!

booklover, thanks for sharing your day with us. As to the loss of someone because he/she doesn't like your beliefs, "good riddance!" I know that sounds intolerant, but heck! why be tolerant of someone who isn't tolerant of your ideas? Agreement is not the test of friendship, it seems to me, but rather whether you can speak and you can hear each other. Who knows, there may be common ground between ideas and the only way to find out is to speak your truth and listen to the other. 
As to your friend who is "VERY religious", I'm glad she knows how to separate friendship from ideas and you can continue to communicate.

Just wanted to share, esp. with Sylvia and Joan, who are also my FB friends, I lost a friend because I put what I believe on FB, but I also had a REALLY nice surprise today when I went to the beach (at a lake, lol) with an old VERY religious friend.  When I told her about losing the FB friend, she said she knows that she and I disagree, but we are both really good people and care about our friendship, and if we don't like what the other puts on FB, we just won't 'like' it.  Has nothing to do with our friendship.  What a neat woman. :)

I know someone else on here asked me to be FB friends, please remind me who it was.  I seriously don't remember things! lol.  45 and on too many meds???

Anyway, just wanted to share that I had a very nice day and I hope all of you did too.

Thanks for the link, sk8eycat, but many of Vidal's quotes turn me off. I did like this one.

Nonprofit status is what created the Bible Belt. The tax code brought religion back to this country.

Grinning Cat, that was awesome!

Ian, that cat is hysterical. :)

That cat looks so mean...he cracks me up, but all he's really doing is trying to keep the water out of his nostrils and ears.

Wish I could do that, AND look like a killer at the same time.
