One
can never tell what will be the result of faithful service rendered, nor
do we know when it will come back to us or to those with whom we are
associated. The reward may not come at the time, but in dividends later.
I believe we will never lose anything in life by giving service, by
making sacrifices, and doing the right thing.

I've previously come
across any number of web sites that'll link you to Songs from the
Fifties, The Beatles, etc., but this one has to be the best, most
comprehensive collection ever. If you love music you will want to add this link to your favorites: http://www.songs-tube.net/ Here you'll find virtually every popular song you would want to hear - - you'll find artists listed by top 100 or alphabetically. Click on an artist and you'll see almost every song done by that artist. There are thousands of songs available at you fingertips (that is, if your fingertips are on your mouse!). Enjoy, John
WOWZERONI!
Thank you so much, John!

From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/14/15:

the scholar, an internist knows everything and does nothing. A surgeon does everything and knows nothing, and a psychiatrist knows nothing and does nothing. Only a pathologist knows everything and does everything too late. |

Don George
(19091987),

I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
