We are currently on a cruise with our yacht club and I won’t be on line as usual. So it will probably be Monday before I get around to visiting everyone. Have a fabulous weekend.

I had to read that last one a second time. srsly.
Have a funtabulous day! x0x0
Well, it's a true one for most of them. 🙂
The Clarence Darrow quote is my favorite, but this was a good read.
I liked them all too. 🙂
these are good ones and oh so true
Yes they are Ann. 🙂
Those are just terrific. Hope the cruise is going well and that you and Zane and Little Bit too have a great day.
The cruise rocked Marg. Stockton Yacht Club is one of our favorite places to visit. 🙂
Hi Sandee,
Happy Saturday!!
These were awesome! Unfortunately, I think my favorite is the last one.
So true!! :-h
They are indeed all so true. 🙂
Hope your cruise turns out to be the best of the best. Have fun!
Lots of truth in these quotes.
It was Jean. We love our cruises. 🙂
Hope you are having great weather and a fabulous time!
Friday was 105 and then Saturday the temps dropped back into the 90s. Normal weather here. 🙂
Brilliant, just brilliant.
Happy cruising. Big hugs, honey…
Brilliant indeed. 🙂
Nice quotes, especially the last one. Have a great time.
Yes they are my friend. 🙂
I'd make a comment but it would only get me started.
I get that. I get started way too often. 🙂
It's sad you know how spot on several of these are. Our nation is becoming an increasingly 'interesting" place to live, less interesting to watch our politics unfold….
I agree with you 100%. 🙂
Excellent- especially the first one. I think our current "president" ought to think about it.
sorry pushed enter before finishing….have a great cruising weekend with your favorite pal and Little Bit!
Well there is that. 🙂
I do that more than I'd like too. 🙂
Have a fabulous weekend Sandee :-h
Thank Steve, and it's been more than fabulous. 🙂
Excellent words. Happy Cruising!
Thanks my friend. 🙂
"A politician is a fellow that will lay down your life for your country." I believe that is true. See ya

They will even tell you how to die in some cases. 🙂
Governments the world over seem to be getting more and more powerful and more restrictive,
Yes, and that's not a good thing. 🙁
