Thought for the day.

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher...


Word for the day:

replete: (adj) filled abundantly, full, abundant.

Cruncher Pete

The one thing that matters is the effort.  It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the player, as he fares on and on from crest to crest; and once the goal is reached it has no meaning...


Word for the day:

exacerbate: (verb) to make worse or more severe, aggragate, infuriate.

Another word for the day:

wife: (verb/noun) to make worse or more severe, aggregate, infuriate. See also exacerbate.   :rofl:

And if anyone shows her this post I'll knock their blocks off.  Bashhead

The important thing is to strive towards a goal which is not immediately visible.  That goal is not a concern of the mind, but of the spirit...

I don't always get to read them (partly because " show unread posts" is hopelessly broken for me) but I do read them often.
