Happy birthday Meade! :)
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Meade! Happy Birthday, General!!


Here's a good grammar anthem for your birthday:



And I thought you'd like this one, too - how a grammarian responds to insult:

Hope it's a great one, and many, many more! :ok :D

My granddaughter says "You're not a grammar Nazi". Why, thank you my dear. "No, you're a grandpa Nazi". That's her revenge for me keeping track of how many times she says "like" in one sentence.
Rigor Mortis Abt is brewed only once a year, and is sold in April until stocks last.
I kid you not - "until stocks last" :shrug

Thank you one and all for good wishes - my hope is to get at least one present today that's wrapped in birthday paper (sigh).

My friends at the General Meade Society in Philadelphia will be attending the Laurel Hill festivities on Dec 31st, Gob. I shall not be doing so as we have our annual New Year's Eve bridge and wine binge going on, chez amigos.

Interesting to note that poor old Meade didn't make it to 64 years of age. He died in 1872 at the age of 56. Whatever the view of his military career, his legacy remains in the lighthouses he built, several of which remain standing, in New Jersey at Barnegat, Absecon, Cape May, and in Florida at Jupiter Inlet, Sand Key, Seahorse Key, Rebecca Shoal and Cayo Sombrero.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.
