TOP TEN!

[Tanniker Smith]

Over 200. A lump sum before taxes is $132 million, last I heard.

The lump sum after taxes is around a buck ninety.
With Hillarycare, more like seventy-two cents.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

This has to be a record for me:

On my "Pings" list, the top three entries are responses to me on three separate threads, and they're all different CANTEEN threads!

Only on the Internet could you be in Three Canteens at Once! (Pass me a beer in each one. Oh, wait, make it a Cream soda for the Sunday thread.)

[PROCON]

Thank you for tonight's GREAT post!!!

[HiJinx]

Very interesting story, this. God placed Tibor at the right place, at the right time, to make a difference in the lives of his comrades.

Thanks, you two, for bringing it to us.

Hello.

[PROCON]

No, no, no, instead of dollars, what does the prefix mega equate to in math? Lots?! Huge?! Humongous?!

[patton]

Hey, I forgot to ask - do you ladies have a link to “Freebird”?

My 13-yo son can’t imagine that I have heard it.
