discussions, momable, Eliane, family
...
Living with a lawyer, you learn to watch what you say -- now, my house is like living in Family Court because my son is going to law school, his sis is taking certain lawyering classes at her college and my youngest certainly isn't going to be left out.
Everything I talk about now has to have "valid sources".
Always tell my kids, "Do extra credit at school whenever it is offered -- you never know if you might need it! Learning never gets out of style. You can never learn too much."
My kids now say that by surfing we can learn "too much" without valid sources. They always want validity now when I tell them any info I find.
What can I say, they are my future lawyers...
Though, it is getting a little bit crazy around my house because everyone has to speak exactly what they mean or else they are getting the third degree from not only my husband, but now my eldest, and his sis joined in now, and now my youngest figures he can do it, too!
Family discussions now sound like cross examinations. hahaha

Poem, momable, woman, poetry
I just read this poem -- it is enchanting and dreamlike, despite it's theme being that mankind is going into extinction or slowly destroying itself -- or in the poem, already gone. For an indepth analysis, see Wiki. Sara won the first Nobel Prize for Poetry, being a woman at that!!!
Ray Bradbury used this poem to write a short story of the same title. I am going to reread that next. This story is one of the best-known and many said is the best-known fable in scifi. You can read it at Wiki.
Following, the POEM, by Sara Teasdale:
"There Will Come Soft Rains"
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
Sara Teasdale

birthday, Poem, internet, momable

Happy Birthday Internet
a poem by Elly
Happy Birthday Internet
also know as the World Wide Web
being stuck in your information trap
has become with many where it is "at"
all on-the-spot info in your coffers
along side many business offers
photos, music, videos, blogs and tweet
I can go around the world not using my feet
even into space I can venture
on universal, worldly, or philosophical adventure
somewhere someone is always on
I can chat all night through dawn
people connected through the air and wires
sharing all our innermost desires
looking, reading, listening to all
through my monitor, having a ball
all the new ifriends I have met
all thanks to you, dear Internet!

Attila the Hun is thought to have been a dwarf!!!! (Napoleon was short, too!)
George Washington grew marijuanna in his garden!!!! (All that he did with it is not verified.)
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is not Irish!!! (Yeah, he was a slave.)
Ancient drinkers warded off the devil by clinking their cups!!! (Clink)
In some parts of Malaya, women keep harems of men!!! (No misspelling.) (One is enough for me.)
Admiral Lord Nelson was less than 1.6 meters tall!!! (Sounds pretty short, how much is that in feet?) (Answer: 5.2 1/2 feet)
Winston Churchill's mom was part red Indian!!! (That is what it says "red Indian", must be American Indian?)
Julius Caesar wore a laurel wreath to cover up his onset of baldness!!! (Declared himself a God but couldn't stop his hair loss. lol)
Ancient Roman men swore oaths by putting their hands on their testicles; from hence we get the term (here it comes) "TESTIMONY!!!" lol
Nuns' habits' headresses cover up their ears because it is believed that the Virgin Mary became pregnant through her ear!!! (Can you imagine! Hey, don't touch my ears!) lol
For a (1904-1906) time there was a distress call "CQD" meaning "seek you" D for "Danger"; this was replaced in 1906 by "SOS" and put into effect all over the world by 1909. Yes, the replacement is SOS. (I like SOS much better, "Save Our Ship" or, as Wiki says "In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Seamen", "Save our Ship", "Survivors On Shore" or "Save Our Souls". These were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters (something known as a backronym).)It is actually Morse Code "three dits, three dahs, three dits".
On that note: Three whistles,or three waves are international symbols of distress. Three fires, too.
ONE NEW ONE: IPODS get HEAVIER when you put music in them -- also the weight depends on which kind of music you input into them. (Research continues and company has to put "weight may vary" on labels! lol-- IS TRUE!!!)

Poem, fly, momable, penguin
...
Would I be a Penguin?
a poem by Elly
If I had wings would I fly,
or would I be like a penguin,
as it is I can only wish and sigh,
looking up at the fine, big sky
let my imagination give it a try
even when I go in.
In my mind, I fly so high
the world below is tiny
then again, if I were like a penguin
the sea is what I would fly in
just thinking about it makes me grin
water and ice sparkling and shiny.
